Most of us know someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, this week on Perimenopause Simplified podcast, I'm joined by special guest, Dianne Wist, Breast Health Educator and CEO of Violet Daily, for a conversation about what women over 40 need to know about their diet, lifestyle, hormones, and other factors that impact breast health.
In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Jennifer Simmons, a leading Integrative Oncologist and former breast cancer surgeon, to discuss crucial aspects of breast health. Dr. Jenn is changing the narrative on how we screen, diagnose, and treat breast cancer. We dive into the prevalence of breast cancer in the U.S., the most effective screening methods, and her thoughts on the annual mammogram debate. Dr. Jenn also addresses the impact of breast cancer treatments on heart health, the role of hormones like estrogen in cancer development, and whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is safe after a breast cancer diagnosis. This conversation is packed with essential information every woman should know. Tune in to learn from Dr. Jenn's expertise and gain valuable insights into protecting your breast health.
