Rethinking Women's Health: A Functional Medicine Approach to Prevention | Dr. Jenn Simmons (Bonus Episode)

Women's health can often feel overwhelming. Between conflicting nutrition advice, endless supplements, and constantly changing wellness trends, it's easy to wonder where to focus your energy.

In this episode, Diane sits down with integrative oncologist and former breast surgeon Dr. Jenn Simmons to discuss a simpler, more intentional approach to health. After nearly two decades practicing conventional breast surgery, Dr. Jenn's own health journey led her to functional medicine and a deeper understanding of the root causes of chronic disease.

Together, they explore how everyday choices—from the foods we eat and the way we move our bodies to reducing inflammation and minimizing toxic exposures—can have a profound impact on our long-term health. They also discuss Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, and why prevention, education, and whole-person wellness are essential parts of the conversation.
