Beating Breast-Cancer Statistics with Dr. Jenn Simmons
Do you ever wonder… How can I avoid breast cancer? Where does my risk come from? Should I get a mammogram? What about hormone-replacement therapy? If so, join me for an interview with breast-cancer expert and top-ranked surgeon, Dr. Jenn Simmons. In the face of her own health crisis, she began to question standard treatments and her impact as a doctor. What she learned shifted her perspective on cancer treatment and prevention, and may help you decrease your breast-cancer risk. In this episode, Dr. Simmons shares the shockingly high rate of preventable breast cancer, the prevalent disease type that raises your risk, and the most common cause of death for breast-cancer patients (it’s not the cancer). Plus, we discuss opportunities for change and the habits that can protect your health. If you’ve got breasts, you don’t want to miss this episode!
