Traditional breast cancer treatments often concentrate on managing the symptoms and eliminating cancer cells rather than addressing the underlying causes. This approach can overlook important factors like nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental concerns. In contrast, Functional Medicine aims to enhance overall well-being and reduce the risk of recurrence by integrating these elements with the body’s natural healing process. Dr. Jenn Simmons is a leading integrative oncologist, board-certified breast surgeon, distinguished speaker, best-selling author, and the founder of perfecTion imaging. Following her own battle with breast cancer, Dr. Jenn discovered and embraced the concept of creating health rather than suppressing symptoms.
In this episode, Dr. Jenn shares insights into her health journey and how it transformed her approach to breast cancer treatment and prevention.
