Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention.Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. However, her perspective changed significantly when she became a patient herself. Through this personal experience, Dr. Jenn saw how broken the conventional medical system can be. This led her to discover and embrace functional medicine, a revelation that sparked her journey towards a more holistic approach to breast cancer care.This personal journey led her to create Real Health MD in 2019, a practice dedicated to holistic healing for breast cancer. It integrates conventional wisdom with root cause medicine and the drivers of health: nutrition, lifestyle changes, detoxification, and stress management. Dr. Jenn's innovative approach doesn't stop there. As the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, she is establishing safe imaging centers across the nation, armed with revolutionary technology that promises to redefine breast cancer screening. This technology is not only fast and safe but also comfortable, affordable, radiation-free, and boasts 40 times the resolution of MRI. It has received FDA clearance, signaling a new era in breast health and breast cancer screening.In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Jenn hosts the "Keeping Abreast" podcast, where she shares her expertise and encourages women to take control of their breast health. Her book, "The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer," challenges conventional wisdom and promotes a holistic approach. It emphasizes the importance of nutrition, lifestyle choices, and addressing environmental toxins, providing practical steps for women seeking to navigate breast cancer treatment and regain control of their health.Beyond her professional endeavors, Dr. Jenn is a devoted wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, and athlete. Her life's mission is deeply personal, rooted in her cousin's memory, and driven by a desire to make a lasting impact on all those who desire breast health.

Life has evolved since last year, when I was in my breast cancer screening and diagnosis journey. Not long after I recovered from the mastectomy and reconstruction, I learned how hard it is to be a breast cancer survivor. The psychological aspects of being a survivor, particularly the fear of cancer recurrence, prevailed after the incisions healed. To get a sense of control over survivorship, I realized I had to prioritize sleep, exercise, and nutrition to care for myself. Survivorship takes more energy (mentally for certain) than the screening, diagnosis or surgery ever did.  Early in survivorship, I spent time trying to care for myself. I sought out cancer support resources to get the help I needed to adjust to life as a survivor. Then, earlier this year, I reached a point where I felt like something was missing (not referring to my left breast, which was removed during the mastectomy). I decided it was time to go back to work as a nurse.   In this episode, I look back at three months on the job and talk about how I managed to keep myself from falling apart. I did not perfectly fit in exercise. I lost track of how close I was to the recommended 150 minutes of exercise per week. I prioritized walking to the subway as a primary source of movement in the workdays. I found places in my work day to fit in “exercise snacks”, those small bursts of activity to exert myself and raise my heart rate. I even found places at work where I can stand and work at a computer.  I managed to accept disrupted sleep as part of my life and used some of those early morning moments for an early start at the gym. Some days I allowed myself to wake up a little later, even if it meant skipping the gym before work.  I tried to be kind to my body and take the cue that more sleep is needed.  I love food and found that although I had the best intentions of packing health snacks for work, I was not bringing enough to keep me from feeling low on energy and very hungry at the end of the day.  The silver lining I share in this episode is that, after 3 months in the job, I now have additional flexibility to work remotely some days and get an extra day off some weeks. So after three months of getting by and being gone every week day all day, I get some time back in my week to restore the balance in my self-care priorities.   Subscribe, rate, and review the Breast Cancer Life podcast.  The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Chris, a neurobiologist and breast cancer survivor, didn't let a terminal diagnosis dictate his health future. In this episode, he details his transition from patient to pioneering advocate, exploring how his unique research led him to propose new methods for managing his own cancer and ultimately find a life purpose that helped him outlive his diagnosis.

In this episode, I share 2 of the thoughts that have recently come up in my life as a breast cancer survivor.  There are currently not any healthcare appointments or other reminders of my cancer experience going on. So that is a nice break from times when there were several necessary things I had to do because of my breast cancer history. At this point in my survivorship, new thoughts have come to mind. These are generally positive thoughts and are helping me to normalize this whole experience. l talk about how I view the implant (my breast reconstruction) as such a normal thing. Secondly, I talk about how I hear myself saying in my head that exercise is my best medicine. It is a prescription for doing what I can to lower my risk of the cancer recurring and I do not need to wait for a doctor to tell me this.  Breast Cancer Life is a podcast about my breast cancer experience. This is for you, the person who may be facing a diagnosis, and the person who knows someone facing the reality or real possibility of a breast cancer diagnosis. Nothing could have prepared me for this lived experience. My hope is that you get a glimpse of what this life is like.  Subscribe, rate, and review the Breast Cancer Life podcast.  The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this episode of Real Physician Reacts, we're discussing the recent news about Danielle Fishel, known to many as Topanga from Boy Meets World, who has been diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer. I'm Dr. Berry Pierre, and today we'll explore the significance of early detection, what stage zero breast cancer means, and why regular screenings are crucial for saving lives. Episode Summary: This episode covers the emotional and educational aspects of Danielle Fishel's breast cancer diagnosis. We talk about the importance of routine mammograms, how early detection at stage zero can significantly impact treatment options and outcomes, and the broader implications of breast cancer awareness. This discussion also highlights the role of medical technology in early detection and the importance of advocating for your own health. Key Takeaways: Early Detection Saves Lives: Danielle Fishel's diagnosis at stage zero underscores the importance of routine mammograms and catching cancer early.

Quotes: "When we hear the word cancer, we only think of the end result—dire, you know, the most bad result that we can think of." – Dr. Berry Pierre "Shout out to medical technology—saves another life. We get a shout out to medical technology. I think a lot of times, especially with this day and age, where we got handheld devices that can send faxes and edit pictures and videos... A lot of times people don't think about the medical technological advances that are in medicine." – Dr. Berry Pierre "The second your doctor says the C word—cancer—everything else after that don't really mean a hill of beans." – Dr. Berry Pierre Please SUBSCRIBE for new videos every Monday afternoon and Thursday Evening https://www.drberrypierre.com/YTsubscription​ Let's Connect: Instagram TikTok Lunch and Learn Patreon Family

Today, I want to have a heart-to-heart conversation about something that weighs heavily on many of our minds: the challenge of deciding whether or not to undergo diagnostic tests for breast cancer. These decisions are never easy, and I understand the fear and anxiety that come with them. In this episode, we dive deep into the dilemma of balancing the potential benefits and harmful side effects of diagnostic tests. It's a tough spot to be in—on one hand, we want to stay vigilant and catch any issues early, but on the other, we're wary of the possible harm these tests can bring. It's a dance between being proactive and protecting ourselves from unnecessary risks. We also talk about a common and often overlooked emotional response: blaming our bodies when test results don't meet our expectations. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking our bodies are failing us when we receive less-than-ideal news. But remember, our bodies are incredible, resilient, and always doing their best to heal and protect us. I'll share some practical tips on how to approach these decisions with a calm and clear mind, including seeking second opinions, weighing the risks and benefits, and most importantly, listening to your intuition. Your journey is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Referred to in this episode: Work with Laura Switched on Follow me on Social Media:  Facebook Instagram Pinterest YouTube

A diagnosis requires change! Treatment gets rid of the cancer, but it doesn't change the terrain the cancer was thriving in.  The factors that make up our environment like hormones, nutrition, stress, inflammation are all asking to be addressed.  Changes I made: 1. I started looking are what I was putting IN my body - What I was consuming. 2. Minimizing stress in my life as much as possible (meditation & breathwork helps so much with this!) 3. Changed my drinking water & stopped drinking from plastic water bottles. I first purchased a Berkey water filter, buut now I have reverse osmosis with the minerals put back in. 4. Started looking at what I was putting ON and AROUND my body - Started swapping out everyday products I was using at home.  Skin care and home care. Also purchased a ton of plants and an air purifier. It's also recommended to just open your windows for about 20 mins a day Here's the company where I get my skin care, home products and hydrate & detox. 5. Became more spiritual - This was hugely powerful having a true understanding, eliminates fear! 6. I changed the way I worked out! Instead of killing myself with my workouts and having my body in a constant state of fight or flight…I started being kinder. Walking daily! More restorative workouts. And of course lifting 3 to 4 days a week (our bodies need muscle. 7. I started drinking green tea like it was my job. Studies suggest that polyphenol in green tea inhibit growth of breast cancer cells.

Marama Davidson will soon take leave while undergoing treatment - but plans to return to Parliament and her leadership role in about 4 months later this year, Craig McCulloch reports.

Michelle shares her story of being diagnosed with stage two non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 32. Michelle emphasizes the importance of listening to your body and paying attention to warning signs, as well as the need for support and resources after treatment. She also highlights the role of stress management, gut health, and balancing blood sugar in the recovery process. Balancing blood sugar is important for controlling cravings and reducing chronic inflammation. Personalized nutrition is key as everyone's body reacts differently to different foods.  In response to the absence of programs that were available to help her detox and rebuild her health and immunity, she founded Revival Health & Wellness. As a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Michelle specializes in working with cancer survivors to detox and restore their bodies, as well as with those who have a genetic link or pre-exposure to cancer and want to live a healthy, preventive lifestyle.

A diagnosis of breast cancer, whether it's the first one or a recurrence is mind-numbingly frightening. If it's the first time you've heard the words, “You have cancer.” It's not only frightening but it sends you into a world of language, treatments, and experiences that you have no idea how to understand or manage. In this episode, I'll clear up some of the fear and confusion around how to handle a new diagnosis. This isn't about treatments, drugs, or supplements, but the mindset shifts that are so important to care for yourself when faced with a life-threatening illness and difficult treatment decisions. This is the advice I wish someone had given me when I had my first breast cancer diagnosis.   Referred to in this episode: Work with Laura Download – 7-Steps to take after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Dr. Robyn Roth (AKA @theboobiedocs on Instagram) debunks myths about mammograms and emphasizes the importance of early detection. The discussion covers the impact of breast density on imaging and the need for additional tests. This conversation covers various topics related to breast cancer, including risk factors, genetic testing, high-risk clinics, family planning, lifestyle modifications, overdiagnosis, caregiving, finding purpose, the biopsy experience, researching doctors, and self-advocacy during exams.   The breast cancer risk calculator: https://ibis-risk-calculator.magview.com Verify information on social media, especially when it comes to health-related topics. Mammograms play a crucial role in early breast cancer detection and can save lives. Breast density can affect the accuracy of mammograms, and additional imaging may be necessary. Mammograms involve a low dose of radiation that is comparable to other everyday exposures. Knowing your breast cancer risk is important for determining appropriate screening and prevention strategies. Family planning decisions may be influenced by genetic testing results and breast cancer risk. Lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, and minimizing stress, can help reduce breast cancer risk. Overdiagnosis and over treatment are important considerations in breast cancer management.

Introducing my dear friend and TNBC sister, Lorelei Colbert. We met through our advocacy work with the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation and her beautiful glow and energy are absolutely infectious!   At the young age of 28, Lorelei was diagnosed with TNBC, a direct result of going for a very routine doctor visit for a physical so she and her husband could move abroad on military orders. Her inquiry about birth control led to a breast exam that would change her entire life.   Join us as we explore Lorelei's narrative, a powerful testament to self-advocacy, overcoming a TNBC diagnosis, confronting fertility obstacles, and ultimately embracing motherhood!

In this interactive bonus episode, host Lisa Keefauver invites listeners to reflect on the importance of honoring or creating ritual for the anniversaries of the day their lives changed - even when they're “not all better yet.” This episode emerged after the overwhelming feedback she received from an essay she recently shared called “Honoring the ‘Not All Better Yet' Anniversaries” about the one-year anniversary of her Breast Cancer Diagnosis. In this episode, listeners are:Guided through a compassion meditation,Invited to hold space for Lisa's story of honoring the anniversary of her Breast Cancer diagnosis,Given a series of questions that will help them create their own ritual for honoring their "not all better yet" anniversaries,Read a short excerpt on the topic of starting close in from her forthcoming book, Grief is a Sneaky Bitch: An Uncensored Guide to Navigating Loss. “But what struck me last month is the lack of acknowledgment or ritual for those before/after days where we're not in the “after” yet. How do we honor the time that's passed since our lives shifted when we're still in the middle of that change? When there is still a force in motion, and we haven't arrived at the other side. For me, that day was last month on the one-year anniversary of the day I got my Breast Cancer diagnosis. One year later and I'm not all better yet, I'm not on the other side.” - Lisa Keefauver Resources: You can find all the books featured on the show by visiting the Grief is a Sneaky Bitch Wishlist on Bookshop.org Host Lisa Keefauver's forthcoming book Grief is a Sneaky Bitch: An Uncensored Guide to Navigating Loss IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble or Bookshop.org.

This October, TBG is celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month by sharing resources and celebrating the experiences of survivors.

Marissa was diagnosed in 2015 with stage II breast cancer and is now the co-founder and CEO of For The Breast of Us, an inclusive online community for Women of Color impacted by breast cancer.
