In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with Dr. Jenn Simmons for a conversation about breast health, medical autonomy, and why she believes women deserve more options and better information when it comes to breast cancer screening and care.
Dr. Jenn Simmons is a former breast cancer surgeon turned outspoken advocate for a more holistic and patient-centered approach to women’s health. She is the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging and jennsimmonsmd.com, the author of The Smart Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer, and host of the Keeping Abreast podcast. Through her work, she’s challenging conventional thinking around breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
We talk about why she stepped away from traditional surgery, her concerns with current screening practices, the role metabolic health and inflammation may play in disease, and why she encourages women to ask more questions and become their own best advocates.

| 0:16.3 | Hey, it's Dominique. |
| 0:17.6 | Before we get into today's episode, I am so excited to invite you to my over 50 |
| 0:23.5 | and flourishing tour called Behind the Curtain. This show is going to be an intimate, in-person |
| 0:28.8 | evening where I'm opening up about the moments that you saw online and what was really happening |
| 0:33.9 | before, during, and after. These are the thoughts, the fears, the decisions, all of it. |
| 0:39.4 | We'll laugh. We will get honest. We will talk about navigating life's transitions, letting go of |
| 0:44.5 | guilt and stepping fully into who you're meant to be. But more than anything, this is about |
| 0:49.9 | community, coming together in person, connecting with each other, and realizing you're not alone. |
| 0:56.3 | And there are interactive moments throughout the night. You're part of this experience, |
| 1:00.5 | not just watching it. I truly believe that your next chapter can be your most exciting one yet, |
| 1:06.1 | and I can't wait to connect with you in real life. To find your closest stop and get tickets, click the |

| 1:17.7 | seeing you there. Hi there. Today's guest is somebody who has completely challenged the way |
| 1:24.8 | that we think about breast health. Dr. Jen Simmons is a former breast cancer |
| 1:29.0 | surgeon who spent years inside the traditional medical system until she realized that the way we |
| 1:34.6 | screen, diagnose, and even treat breast cancer might not be serving women the way she feels |
| 1:40.7 | that it should. She made a very, very bold decision to step away from surgery and instead |
| 1:46.2 | focus on empowering women with better information and, as she hopes, more options. She is the founder |
| 1:53.3 | of perfection imaging, the author of The Smart Women's Guide to Breast Cancer, and she's the host of |
| 1:59.1 | Keeping a Breast podcast where she's on a mission, |
