In this episode of Health Confidential, host Simone Gisondi sits down with Dr. Jenn Simmons, former breast surgeon, author of The Smart Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer, and founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, to explore how her own breast cancer diagnosis transformed her perspective on cancer care, functional medicine, and women’s health. After losing women in her family to breast cancer, Dr. Simmons pursued a career in breast surgery. Her diagnosis at age 46 prompted her to question aspects of the conventional medical approach she had practiced and explore a different perspective on health and healing.Dr. Simmons shares her views on lifestyle, potential contributing factors to illness, and the importance of considering long-term well-being and quality of life alongside treatment decisions. Simone and Dr. Simmons also discuss mammography, lead-time bias, and PerfeQTion Imaging’s approach to breast imaging without radiation or breast compression. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Simmons encourages women to become informed participants in decisions about screening and treatment, while clarifying that her perspective does not mean avoiding conventional cancer care.KEY TAKEAWAYSAsk deeper questions about health: Dr. Simmons encourages exploring potential contributing factors to illness rather than focusing exclusively on the diagnosis.Lifestyle matters: Everyday habits, health practices, and recovery support are important topics to consider as part of long-term well-being.A patient’s perspective can change a physician’s approach: Her own breast cancer diagnosis prompted her to reassess her professional experience and study functional medicine.Understand screening and its limitations: The discussion explores mammography, lead-time bias, and how screening outcomes are communicated.Make informed, individualized decisions: Dr. Simmons emphasizes personal choice and does not advise women to reject conventional cancer treatment.
