In this bold and humanistic episode, Dr. Dan Rubin is joined by Dr. Jenn Simmons—top breast surgeon turned integrative oncologist—for a conversation that redefines what it means to care for women with breast cancer.
Dr. Simmons shares her personal story, from growing up in a family deeply impacted by cancer to becoming the first fellowship-trained breast surgeon in Philadelphia. But her real transformation came when she realized that conventional care wasn’t enough. Today, she’s on a mission to change the conversation around breast cancer—from screening methods to the physiology of estrogen to the reality so many women face after conventional treatment.
This episode tackles:
The emotional and physical cost of survivorship
Some surprising opinions about mammograms
Why estrogen may not be the enemy
The importance of giving women health plans—not just treatment plans
If you’ve ever felt like there must be more to breast cancer care—you’re right. This episode is your invitation to think differently, advocate boldly and reclaim your health journey.
