243: In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Simmons, a former top breast cancer surgeon turned functional medicine expert. We discuss her journey from conventional medicine to a root-cause-focused approach, and what inspired her to launch Real Health MD and perfeQTion Imaging.I had the incredible opportunity to visit her imaging center in Philadelphia for a breast scan, and it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced—non-invasive, painless, and completely radiation-free. We talk all about this alternative to traditional mammograms and the many ways women can take proactive steps toward better breast health without fear or discomfort.Topics Discussed: What is perfeQTion Imaging and how does it compare to traditional mammograms? Are there non-invasive and radiation-free options for breast cancer screening? How does functional medicine approach breast cancer prevention and treatment? What are the side effects of traditional breast cancer treatments and are there alternatives? How can lifestyle and diet influence your risk for breast cancer?Sponsored By:  LMNT | Get your free Sample Pack with any LMNT drink mix purchase at drinklmnt.com/realfoodology BIOptimizers | For an exclusive offer go to bioptimizers.com/realfoodology and use promo code REALFOODOLOGY  Paleovalley | Save at 15% at paleovalley.com/realfoodology and use code REALFOODOLOGY MANUKORA | Go to Manukora.com/REALFOODOLOGY to get $25 off the Starter Kit, which comes with an MGO 850+ Manuka Honey jar, 5 honey travel sticks, a wooden spoon, and a guidebook!  Ollie | Head to MyOllie.com/REALFOODOLOGY, tell them all about your dog, and use code REALFOODOLOGY to get 60% off your Welcome Kit when you subscribe today!
