A must read. Cancer is on the rise. The reasons for that are simple. We are surrounded by toxins. We need to take in less and we need to detox what goes into our bodies. There are many women out there that do not realize even the smallest things can make a difference when it comes to breast cancer, like what you put on your skin. In addition, despite the advances in modern medicine, many are not living longer. The conventional medicine, although excellent in some ways, has failed us in others.

A must have for anyone beginning their breast cancer journey. It describes the process from beginning to end, what to expect during treatment and also extra intergrative things to do along with western medicine. I got this book a little late but I still learned a ton. I took notes and still use them. Great tips on what foods/supplements help with immune system. -Cam

If you are on the more natural side of things you will get it completely...if not, still has some good material that will make you think and give your body a boost of healthy nutritional support. Get The Book! -T. McClain

Being newly diagnosed woman in 30s, this book has helped me what I can do to help myself further and what questions I could ask my provider during my first consultation. So much good information and I am so happy and hopeful. Thank you for giving me strength Dr. Jenn. I am ready for my first appointment with my breast surgeon tomorrow! Like you said, Breast Health is Health!!!
Written by a breast surgeon with a full medical training and a couple of decades in practice who left her surgical consultant job after receiving a devastating diagnosis she went on to train as a functional doctor and oncologist. All the studies she quotes are fully referenced which is something I particularly wanted to read myself. She also has a brilliant podcast call Keeping Abreast With Dr Jenn which is interesting as she has many guest on who were also doctors, oncologists,radiotherapists,thyroid specialists and nutritionists who have all pretty much taken the same route once receiving their own devastating diagnosis knowing in their heart of hearts that some of the conventional treatments they were subsequently advised to take would also be damaging to their health. I feel this book has helped me to make my own informed choices. She doesn't advise against conventional treatments but informs on voices as well as alternatives. Marvellous! -London
Meet the Best Selling Author
Dr. Jenn Simmons is an Integrative Oncologist, Breast Surgeon, Author, Podcast Host, and the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging. Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention.
Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. However, her perspective changed significantly when she became a patient herself. Through this personal experience, Dr. Jenn saw how broken the conventional medical system can be. This led her to discover and embrace functional medicine, a revelation that sparked her journey towards a more holistic approach to breast cancer care.
As the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, she is establishing safe imaging centers across the nation, armed with revolutionary technology that promises to redefine breast cancer screening. This technology is not only fast and safe but also comfortable, affordable, radiation-free, and boasts 40 times the resolution of MRI. It has received FDA clearance, signaling a new era in breast health and breast cancer screening.
Dr. Jenn hosts the "Keeping Abreast" podcast, where she shares her expertise and encourages women to take control of their breast health. Her book, "The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer," challenges conventional wisdom and promotes a holistic approach. It emphasizes the importance of nutrition, lifestyle choices, and addressing environmental toxins, providing practical steps for women seeking to navigate breast cancer treatment and regain control of their health.
