69: The Truth About Mammograms | Dr. Jenn Simmons, MD
How To Be WellnStrong
10/08/24 • 52 min
Breast cancer is never a blessing, but it can be a blessing if you seize the opportunity to take back control of your health. I’m very excited to welcome Dr. Jenn Simmons, MD, an integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, author, podcast host, and the founder of perfeQTion imaging, to the show today. Dr. Simmons began her career as Philadelphia’s first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years as Philadelphia’s top breast surgeon. Her own illness led her to discover functional medicine. Captivated by the concept of promoting her own good health rather than suppressing symptoms, Dr. Simmons rejected traditional medicine treatment methods in 2019 and founded Real Health MD to support all women on their breast cancer journey. In this episode, Dr. Jenn and I discuss the flaws with breast cancer screening methods like mammography, the future of breast cancer imaging, and the benefits of considering a holistic approach when it comes to battling cancer.

How To Be WellnStrong
08/13/24 • 57 min
Lindsay Etemadipour was among the very first wellness content creators I followed when I started WellnStrong’s Instagram, and she’s been in the wellness space curating content as a holistic herbalist for over ten years. Having grappled with an array of autoimmune diseases and chronic conditions spanning two decades, Lindsay spent years in and out of doctors' offices, finding no relief.

Lindsay’s passion led to her founding Symbi, a loose-leaf tea brand providing ancient remedies for modern ailments. In this episode, Lindsay and I discuss the value of holistic treatments in addressing chronic illness, why herbal remedies can be effective tools in treating a variety of disorders – from autoimmunity to hormonal imbalances, how to select quality herbs, and how Lindsay began creating her own herbal blends to help restore her health.
