Hey, everybody, it's Chris. And today I'm interviewing Dr. Jen Simmons. Dr. Jen is a breast

surgeon. She knows a little bit about breast health. And after spending 17 years as Philadelphia's

top breast surgeon, her own illness led her to discover functional medicine. And that led to a career change for her and a shift

of focus. And in 2019, she founded Real Health MD to help women anywhere along the breast cancer

journey to truly heal. So I think this is great. I'm so excited to talk to you and talk about breast health. I get so

many questions from women in our community about breast health, about what to eat, about testing,

about supplements. And I know you have a lot to say and you've done a lot of research on this.

So Dr. Jen Simmons, thanks for taking the time.

I am so delighted to be here. First, I just want to say that you were one of my very first

inspirations. So when I went on my healing journey, my own healing journey, I happened across like

either a summit that you did or something, some 10-part class,

it might have even been your square one. And I just like spent a weekend consuming everything.

And it completely inspired me. So I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work that you did,

for the bravery that you showed because it's pretty scary to go outside the box, right?

Yeah. And for being the trailblazer that you are because I know firsthand how scary it can be

to blaze a trail. And there are a lot of naysayers and a lot of

people that don't say such nice things about you when you don't fit into the box and play by the

rules. So like I really applaud you and your strength and your fortitude. Thank you. That just means so

much. I you know, especially coming from a medical professional.

It really means a lot. And I've had just a great privilege to be able to coach and counsel doctors

and, you know, obviously lots of non-doctors. And it feels good. Okay. So let's, you know, there's a lot of places we could start, I guess, but, you know, there's a lot of places we could start, I guess.

But why don't we start with testing for breast cancer?
