Breast cancer screening is often treated as a given. Mammograms are framed as routine, early detection as unquestionably life-saving, and following guidelines as the responsible choice. But what if the full picture is more complicated?In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with integrative oncologist and breast surgeon Dr. Jenn Simmons, author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, to explore what breast cancer screening data actually shows, where common narratives may oversimplify reality, and how statistics can sometimes be misunderstood by both patients and providers.Together, they discuss the difference between screening and diagnostic imaging, why detecting more cancers does not always mean fewer deaths, and how concepts like overdiagnosis and lead-time bias shape our interpretation of outcomes. Dr. Jenn also explains how breast cancer behaves differently from many other cancers, why progression is not always linear, and what tumor markers like ER, PR, HER2, and triple-negative really indicate.The conversation expands beyond imaging into a whole-body view of breast health, touching on inflammation, immune function, metabolic health, toxic burden, stress, and lifestyle as factors that shape cancer risk and recovery. Rather than promoting fear or urgency, this episode focuses on helping listeners understand their bodies, ask better questions, and make informed decisions with clarity.This episode is for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of breast cancer screening, feels overwhelmed by conflicting guidance, or wants to approach breast health with more nuance and less panic.About Dr. Jenn SimmonsDr. Jenn Simmons is an integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of Real Health MD. She was Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent nearly two decades leading one of the region's top breast programs before transitioning into integrative oncology.Drawing from her experience in conventional cancer care and her own health journey, Dr. Simmons now focuses on whole-body approaches to breast health, cancer prevention, and recovery, including metabolic health, inflammation, immune function, lifestyle medicine, and root-cause healing. She is the author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, a patient-centered resource designed to help women better understand their diagnosis, ask informed questions, and navigate treatment decisions with clarity rather than fear.Order the BookThe Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Jenn SimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmonsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmonsWebsite: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)00:00 Swedish trial claim and overdiagnosis framing 00:52 Why this became a part two conversation 03:25 Reframing screening narratives and medical training gaps 04:39 Why Dr. Simmons questions mammograms as a screening tool 06:06 Origins of screening programs and “invitation to screen” bias 07:12 Relative risk vs absolute numbers example (4 vs 5 per 1,000) 08:49 Overdiagnosis explained with a vivid analogy 09:50 Autopsy-study claim and the “microscopic cancer” idea 12:11 Swedish trial claim revisited: more diagnoses, same deaths 13:38 Downstream harms: callbacks, biopsies, overtreatment 15:04 Lead-time bias and survival statistics explained 16:44 Dr. Simmons' view on the founder's regret narrative 18:16 Switzerland headline clarified and what actually changed 20:10 Cautionary stories and aggressive cancers discussion 22:07 Why breast cancer does not always progress linearly 24:21 Buckets: DCIS, invasive, inflammatory, receptor types 26:15 Clinical vs subclinical disease approach 28:25 Long-term tradeoffs and “forgotten woman” after treatment 32:15 What ER PR HER2 mean biologically and system incentives 35:33 Testosterone discussion and prevention claim presented 42:15 Hormones after breast cancer and the 4-year “reintroduction” idea 44:29 Triple negative: environment, toxicity, immune system focus 49:19 What to do next: pause, exceptions, whole-body workup 52:32 Prevention and breast health approach begins 53:24 At-home tears test explanation (as discussed) 56:24 Detox basics and why sweating is emphasized 59:34 Imaging preferences for screening and what to do if limited access
Today's guest is the founder of Scooter's Hunt Camp Scott was raised in the small town of Emmett, Id. Scott loves all sports and spent 6 years chasing dreams by playing college baseball. After that didn't pan out baseball he came back to Emmett working several different jobs trying to find my place. In 2006 the opportunity was presented to buy an Insurance Agency here in town. He now owns this agency, and this was a GOD thing as the freedom of being his own boss has given him much time with his sons. In 2007 Scott was introduced to Kami, a year later they were married. In 2010 & 2013 they welcomed 2 amazing sons into their tribe. I joke tribe as we are all registered in the Cherokee Nation. In 2021 Scott lost Kami to Breast Cancer. She was an angel here on earth, but God needed her with him. In 2000 Scott was given the vision to give back to kids through hunting. He was given a gift as a successful hunter. In fact, in 2001 he was named the Idaho State Bowhunters bowhunter of the year. Scott founded and now directs the Scooter's Youth Hunting Camp in Emmett. Over the 26 years of being a part of this ministry and mission field for kids. Scott is most proud of witnessing about his Savior and best friend "JESUS". Over 26 years Scott has had the honor of sharing God's goodness and putting a Shotgun, Bow, Muzzleloader and .22 rifle into the hands of over 6,000 kids. All for FREE and all through donations. It has been a labor of love for Scott. He works for the kids 24/7/365 as a volunteer. SYHC is 100% volunteer with no paid staff. The volunteers who show up for the camp are amazing and all get an Orange SYHC shirt. The volunteer crew has been coined the "ORANGE ARMY" with the past couple of years being 120+ strong. There is a joke around the area that Scooter has 4,000 nieces and nephews because of the interactions from this camp. In 2015 Scott added to the SYHC by creating "Hunting Dreams". This subchapter of the camp does 2 hunting trips a year for children who have suffered a life-threatening illness. One Bear hunt each spring and an Elk hunt each fall with everything donated to fully outfit the hunters. New Rifle, Binos, Scope, Rangefinder, Boots, clothes etc. etc. Then a whole week in God's country hunting and eating "Their" favorite menu. The crew processes the meat and a taxidermist does a bear rug and elk shoulder mount for a forever memory. Scott loves GOD, loves kids and loves being a servant. www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.nukemhunting.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com
Today's conversation is a deeply personal look at what it means to be diagnosed with breast cancer at just 30 years old. We often hear the statistics that more young women are being diagnosed, but numbers can't capture the shock of finding a lump before you think you're even old enough to worry… or the life-altering shift that happens when you are put into medically induced menopause. Caroline McNally knows the struggles of being in the thick of treatment and the isolation of being diagnosed younger than most. But she also knows about strength, hope and learning how to advocate for herself and others.
Kaz and Tubes are joined by Workplace All-Star recipients Emma Mohamad and Bec Morgan from Tsunami Hair and Beauty, to talk about Emma’s recent cancer diagnosis, the challenges she and her son have faced, and the incredible support from friends, family, and the community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Valentine's Day can feel complicated after a breast cancer diagnosis. Love doesn't disappear, but it changes. Your body changes. Your energy changes. Your relationship changes. In this honest and deeply personal episode, we talk about what no one prepares you for after treatment ends: navigating marriage, intimacy, dating, and emotional connection after cancer. If you've ever wondered: • Why does intimacy feel different now? • Is it normal to feel disconnected from my body? • How do I talk to my partner about what's changed? • What if I'm dating again after breast cancer? • Is painful intimacy something I just have to live with? This episode is for you. ___________________________________________________________________________
Why are so many women told to avoid animal foods after breast cancer? And what does the science behind that advice actually show? In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, Laura Lummer explores plant-based versus animal-based eating through a clear, grounded lens. She explains why large observational studies like the Nurses' Health Study became so influential, how The China Study was over-interpreted, and where correlation was treated as causation. This episode is not about choosing a diet. It is about understanding how nutrition messaging is formed, where its limitations lie, and how to apply science in a way that respects bioindividuality, metabolic health, digestion, and recovery after cancer. If you have ever felt confused, pressured, or fearful around food, this episode offers clarity without rules. Let's Connect!

Mammograms are typically used to scan for breast cancer, but researchers are now looking at using the imaging tests to identify early signs of cardiovascular disease in women. Gov. Josh Shapiro traveled to northeastern PA to thank first responders for their work last week during a fire at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Dickson City. The governor also highlighted investments, including a more than $30 million grant fund to support the state’s fire departments. Former Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey has a new position, one month after stepping down as the city’s chief executive. The State Game Commission is adding some game for hunters as we enter the final weeks of pheasant season. Governor Shapiro and his neighbors are filing lawsuits against each other, over a property dispute at the governor's private residence in Montgomery County. The Hempfield School District is cutting ties with the Independence Law Center, a religious rights law firm. Six former players on the women’s basketball team at the University of Pittsburgh are suing their coach and the school over what they call toxic coaching methods.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with Reed Davis, founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), for a no-comfort conversation about why so many women are told they're “fine” while they feel anything but.Together, they unpack the lie hiding inside “normal labs,” why diagnosis-chasing keeps you stuck in symptom management, and what Reed calls metabolic chaos - the slow breakdown that happens when chronic stress, inflammation, hormone disruption, digestion issues, and toxic burden stack up for years… until the body finally crashes. They also break down epigenetics (and why family history is not a life sentence), plus what it really means to “change the environment your breasts are living in.”This is a conversation about root cause, medical sovereignty, and the hard truth that health doesn't happen in a doctor's office, it happens at home.In this episode you'll learn:Why “normal labs” can still mean deep dysfunctionThe difference between treating a diagnosis and treating the personWhat “metabolic chaos” is and how it shows up as totally different symptoms in different peopleHow epigenetics works (and how to use it to break family patterns)The FDN framework: HIDDEN stressors + DRESS (Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress reduction, Supplementation)Why exercise and nutrition have to be individualized (and how the wrong plan backfires)Dr. Jenn's perspective on prophylactic mastectomy and the underestimated cost of breast removal traumaEpisode Timeline:00:00 Why “Normal Lab Results” Don't Mean You're Healthy02:24 Reed Davis' Journey Into Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN)10:12 Root Cause Healing vs Diagnosis-Based Medicine15:39 Why Conventional Medicine Stops at Symptom Management19:06 Metabolic Chaos: How Chronic Stress Disrupts Hormones and Health20:58 Epigenetics Explained: How Environment Overrides Genetics28:01 Prophylactic Mastectomy, Breast Health, and Medical Trauma32:48 The DRESS Protocol: Diet, Stress, and Lifestyle-Based Healing45:48 Medical Freedom, Screening Pressure, and Patient Autonomy54:13 The Future of Healthcare: Prevention, Wellness, and Self-Responsibility1:01:04 What Is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN)?Learn more about Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN): www.functionaldiagnosticnutrition.comTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with RHMD, visit: https://jennsimmons.simplero.com/page/377266?kuid=327aca17-5135-44cf-9210-c0b77a56e26d&kref=vOKy0sAiorrKTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons
In today's episode, our discussion features Aditya Bardia, MD, MPH, FASCO. Dr Bardia is a professor in the Department of Medicine in the Division of Hematology/Oncology, the director of Translational Research Integration, and a member of Signal Transduction and Therapeutics at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center in Los Angeles, California.In our exclusive interview, Dr Bardia discussed key findings from the phase 3 lidERA Breast Cancer study (NCT04961996) showing the invasive disease–free survival superiority of giredestrant (GDC-9545) over standard endocrine therapy in patients with estrogen receptor–positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer. Our discussion also covered the ongoing phase 3 INAVO123 trial (NCT06790693), which is investigating inavolisib (Itovebi) plus CDK4/6 inhibitors and letrozole in patients with endocrine-sensitive, PIK3CA-mutated breast cancer. Dr Bardia also emphasized the importance of testing for ESR1 and PIK3CA mutations in order to better personalize treatment.
In this episode of I Love Being Sober, Tim Westbrook sits down with Kathryn Elliott, alcohol mindset coach, speaker, and founder of The Alcohol Mindset Coach, to share how she discovered a scientifically proven yet rarely discussed link between alcohol and increased breast cancer risk. Together, they discuss what the research actually says about "moderate" drinking, how alcohol affects hormones, inflammation, and sleep, and why you do not need a diagnosis or a rock bottom moment to reconsider alcohol's role in your life. Kathryn also explores how to approach these conversations without fear, shame, or self-blame, and how clarity, confidence, and well-being often improve when we choose ourselves first.

Treatment is a significant part of overcoming breast cancer, but what about the mental, physical and emotional challenges this disease presents? Sarah Cipolla and Tawana Davis both relied on their faith to get through breast cancer. Through it all – the ups and downs and good times and setbacks – they had hope for better days and trusted in their faith. Hope and faith are powerful forces during challenging times. Susan G. Komen leads Worship in Pink, a nationwide program that brings breast health education to faith communities. Through this effort, Komen can reach people who don't participate in breast health care and people who rely on their faith to overcome life's challenges. Thanks to Merck and Novartis for supporting the Worship in Pink Program
Send us a textThe ocean isn't magic, but it helps the healing. We went to the beach with a full slate of work—course updates, new cases, retreat planning—and a fuller heart, talking honestly about what it takes to recover and what it means to care well. Missi is four weeks post‑mastectomy, relearning daily life without lifting, reaching, or rushing. Cara remembers months on bed rest, the longing for a hair wash, and the quiet panic of being still. Together, we map the gap between “Let me know if you need anything” and help that actually helps.We get specific. Meals that work now: soup kits, coordinated signups, gift cards for flexible nights, and a simple text that asks, “What are you craving?” Practical gear that makes life easier soft button-front pajamas, the best mid-calf socks, body butter, pillows, and just things to make you comfy. We talk about partners who carry silent fear, why giving those people a break matters, and how to name needs without feeling guilt. We share how to build an Amazon list so friends far away can send the right things, and why short notes and small jokes land in the loneliest hours.There's identity work too. Losing the “before” version of yourself—the runner, the teacher, the do‑it‑all person—hurts. We name the grief, celebrate tiny wins like sleeping in a bed again, and lean on survivors who text the latest guidelines at just the right time. No Googling spirals, just trusted teams and steady pacing. If you've ever asked, “What should I do for my friend who's sick?” or struggled to ask for help yourself, this conversation hands you a clear, compassionate checklist you can use today.#DeliverEDExamPrep #RelaxED #YouveGotAFriendInMe #RecoveryJourney #BreastCancer #Bedrest #WeBelongToEachOther #LoveWins #WeCanDoHardThings #Survivor #Brutiful @somaintimates @ugg @lululemon @lolablankets @takethemameal @giveinkind
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses pregnancy and fertility loss, breast and brain cancer, caregiving stress, grief, blackout drinking, relapse, and substance use.What if relief isn't in the glass but in the space you reclaim? Mary maps the messy middle—moderation rules, peer pressure, the “pitcher plant,” and the night she couldn't care for her sister because she was too sick to stand. Revisiting her 2017 episode with Annie, she joins Coach Hayley to redefine success: presence over performance, rituals without alcohol, and permission to say “I don't drink today.” Along this long road to quitting drinking, Mary learns that forgiveness ends the shame spiral—and that peace shows up when she stops chasing the first sip. In this episode, Coach Hayley and Mary catch up on: Revisiting Mary's first TNM episode (2017) and what changed Miscarriages, breast cancer, and pandemic drift—why moderation unraveled The “pitcher plant,” blackout shame, and the caregiving wake-up call Surrogacy, motherhood, and choosing presence at bedtime Keeping the ritual without the alcohol: mocktails, adaptogens, THC microdosing Self-forgiveness > perfection; “not today” over “never again” Why relief feels like mental space, not a glass Walking the long road to quitting drinking without perfectionism …and more topics Episode links: nakedmindpath.com Related Episodes: EP 35: Naked Life Story: Mary - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-35-naked-life-story-mary/ Making the Breast Cancer and Alcohol Connection - Tabbin's Naked Life - E713 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-713-naked-life-story-tabbin-a/ Brian Accidentally Stopped Drinking - Brian's Naked Life (Part 2) - E639 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-639-naked-life-story-annie-graces-husband-part-2/Does this mean I can never drink alcohol again? - Reader's Question - E576 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-576-readers-question-does-this-mean-i-can-never-drink-alcohol-again/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

Carbohydrates are often blamed, feared, or oversimplified, especially after breast cancer. In this episode, Laura continues her Nutrition Myths and Truths series with an evidence-based conversation about carbohydrates. This is not about food rules. It is about understanding how carbohydrates function in the body, how they interact with metabolism, inflammation, and genetics, and what lab markers can tell us about individual response. If you missed part one of this series on red meat and understanding scientific studies, that episode provides helpful context for today's discussion. Episode highlights: Carbohydrates include vegetables, fruits, and legumes, not just bread and sugar Why blood sugar numbers alone do not reflect metabolic health How refined carbohydrates influence inflammation and gut health What research suggests about carbohydrates and cancer Why genetics and SNPs affect carbohydrate tolerance The role of insulin, triglycerides, and inflammation markers Whether grains are nutritionally essential Let's Connect!

What if the way you recover from breast cancer surgery actually starts before you ever enter the operating room? In this powerful and practical episode, Jen Delvaux sits down with Dr. Rebecca Knackstedt, MD, PhD—reconstructive surgeon, functional medicine expert, and founder of Clara Recovery—to talk about something every woman facing surgery needs to know about: prehabilitation. Dr. Knackstedt explains how preparing your body ahead of surgery through proper nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and sleep can dramatically improve healing, reduce complications, and speed up recovery. They dive into why so many women feel underprepared going into surgery, the gaps in traditional medical education around nutrition, and how simple, proactive steps can make a huge difference in outcomes. This conversation is empowering, practical, and filled with actionable advice for anyone navigating breast cancer or any major surgery. In This Episode We Cover: What prehabilitation is and why it's crucial for surgical recovery How nutrition directly impacts healing after surgery Why many doctors receive very little nutrition education The powerful role of protein, fiber, and whole foods in recovery How exercise before surgery improves strength and healing speed The connection between stress management and surgical outcomes Simple tools to calm the nervous system before and after surgery Why sleep hygiene is a foundational part of healing How patients can better advocate for themselves in medical settings The mission behind Clara Recovery and tailored surgical supplements Practical steps every woman can take to feel more prepared and empowered ___________________________________________________________________________

What does the science actually say about red meat after breast cancer? In this episode, Laura Lummer begins a new series focused on separating nutrition myths from facts. The conversation was sparked by hearing a physician recommend a low-fat, high-fiber diet with no red meat to an entire room of cancer patients. Laura explains why that kind of advice ignores bio individuality and why nutrition science is far more nuanced than headlines suggest. This episode breaks down how observational studies work, what statistically significant means, and why one of the most cited red meat studies cannot be used to create universal food rules. Topics include: Observational studies vs randomized trials Self-reported diet recall and its limitations What statistically significant really means The Stanford SWAP-MEAT trial explained Why one diet does not fit everybody Let's Connect!
