Breast Cancer, Genetic Testing, and Redefining Your Health with Dr. Jenn Simmons

May 16, 2025

Health doesn't happen in a hospital operating room. It happens at home and what you do everyday, and here's why:

In this episode, our host, Dr. Lara Varden is joined by Dr. Jenn Simmons, a trailblazer in the world of breast cancer. She is a breast surgeon, an integrative oncologist, author, podcast host and founder of PerfeQTion Imaging. Once a renowned breast cancer surgeon, Dr. Jenn transformed her practice after her own journey as a patient, becoming an integrative oncologist with a mission to revolutionize breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and screening.

Dr. Lara and Dr. Jenn talk about how Dr. Jenn has learned her life's purpose which eventually led her to redefine how we diagnose, treat and screen for breast cancer. Dr. Jenn broke barriers as she had a realization that conventional medicine is focused on the wrong thing, tumor, instead of solving health problems from their root cause.

They discuss how learning your genetics amount to knowing how to optimize women's health because if something is off, everything is off. Preventing breast cancer does not rely on breast health alone but rather a more holistic approach of looking into your brain, heart, skin, bones, gut, vagina, bladder, mood, and hormones.

Don't miss out as this episode will change the way you view breast cancer forever!
