In this powerful episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with renowned functional medicine pioneer Dr. Allen Magaziner to explore his transformative journey into integrative care. From the early days of facing resistance in a conventional medical landscape to building a thriving holistic practice, Dr. Magaziner shares how personal experiences—particularly his mother's health struggles—led him to challenge the status quo.Together, we unpack the many flaws in our current medical system, including the dangers of overdiagnosis, the overreliance on prescription medications, and the urgent need to prioritize health over disease management. This conversation dives deep into the misunderstood world of cholesterol, inflammation, and the often-overlooked role of nutritional deficiencies—especially vitamin D—in both cancer prevention and treatment.Listeners will be inspired by Dr. Magaziner's passion for integrative oncology, his insights into lifestyle medicine, and his message of hope for anyone facing cancer. The episode also honors the legacy of Suzanne Somers, who bravely championed hormone replacement therapy and encouraged women to reclaim their health after cancer. In This Episode, You Will Learn:-Dr. Magaziner's path into functional medicine began with his mother's illness-The limitations of conventional medicine spurred his shift toward integrative care-Overdiagnosis and prescription drug overuse are harming more than helping-Cholesterol is essential to health—context and nuance matter-Vitamin D regulates over 2,000 genes, including many with anti-cancer properties-Maintaining optimal vitamin D levels (>90 ng/mL) is critical in cancer care-Integrative oncology can radically improve both outcomes and quality of life-Repurposed medications, such as metformin, show promise in cancer therapy-Fear inhibits healing—support, mindset, and curiosity are vital-Suzanne Somers' legacy continues to empower women's wellness journeys 

In this powerful episode of Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn, I'm joined by visionary functional medicine practitioner and thought leader, Teri Cochrane, for a deep and eye-opening conversation about bio-individuality—the truth that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to health.Teri shares her compelling personal journey that led her to create her unique approach to wellness, centered on genetics, pathogens, nutrition, and energy. Together, we explore the critical role of personalized medicine, especially in the wake of COVID-19 and the rising incidence of aggressive cancers in younger populations.We uncover the often-overlooked influence of pathogens, environmental shifts, and the evolving food supply on our biochemistry. Teri introduces us to the concept of epigenetic analysis and how understanding our individual genetic makeup can guide us in making precise, healing dietary and lifestyle choices.Whether you are navigating cancer, autoimmune illness, or simply trying to make sense of your body's signals, this conversation is filled with insight, validation, and empowerment.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Bio-individuality is the cornerstone of true health—what works for one may harm another.Conventional dietary guidelines often fail cancer patients.Pathogens, both viral and parasitic, play a significant role in chronic disease and cancer.COVID-19 has had a profound impact on our biochemical balance.Functional medicine and epigenetic testing provide a more complete picture of your health.Stress responses directly impact immune function and must be managed to heal.Understanding genetic variants can help tailor your nutrition for optimal wellness.Even foods labeled “healthy” may not be healthy for you.There is immense power in listening to your body's cues and honoring your unique needs.If you've ever felt like you're doing “all the right things” but still not feeling well, this episode may hold the answers you've been searching for. 

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Lynn Oberstein Feder, a passionate mother, baker, and wellness advocate whose lifelong health journey led her to profound transformation—both personally and professionally.Lynn shares her early struggles with chronic illness and the cascade of misdiagnoses and overuse of antibiotics that left her searching for answers. We talk about the toll of conventional medicine, the power of homeopathic remedies, and the critical importance of finding a provider who truly listens.Her journey to healing began with food—specifically, the gut-healing power of bone broth and a complete shift in her dietary habits. Through her experience, Lynn discovered not just better health, but a calling. Motivated by her daughter's dietary restrictions, she began developing nutrient-dense, gluten-free breads that eventually blossomed into her business, Lynn's Life Breads.We explore how food quality impacts the microbiome, why ingredient transparency matters, and how healing can happen when you return to your kitchen with purpose and intention. Lynn also opens up about the energetic component of food preparation, and how family-centered cooking can transform health outcomes—especially for children.This episode is about more than bread—it's about reclaiming your health, trusting your intuition, and turning adversity into empowerment.Key Takeaways:Chronic illness often begins with overlooked or misdiagnosed symptomsOveruse of antibiotics can have long-term health effectsHomeopathy and integrative medicine can offer powerful alternativesHealing often starts in the kitchenThe microbiome is foundational to overall wellnessUnderstanding food quality is essential for lasting healthFamily-friendly, accessible recipes can bring everyone to the tablePassion projects can become healing businessesListening to your body is the first step toward true healthBe sure to Rate and Subscribe so we can continue bring you these life-changing conversations!00:00 Introduction to Lifelong Health Struggles02:53 Lynn's Early Health Challenges06:10 The Role of Antibiotics in Health08:51 Homeopathic Remedies and Cultural Differences12:00 Sister's Battle with Breast Cancer15:06 A Lifetime of Misdiagnoses17:55 Finding the Right Healthcare Provider21:03 Turning Point: Dietary Changes23:59 The Impact of Bone Broth Diet28:10 The Journey to Healthier Bread Alternatives31:04 Creating Bread for Dietary Needs35:00 The Science Behind Bread and Health39:52 From Kitchen to Business: The Birth of Lynn's Life Breads45:57 Making Bread Accessible for EveryoneTo 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.realhealthmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

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.

He and Dr. Jenn unpack the deeper truths about cancer: its roots in immune dysfunction, the influence of lifestyle and environment, and the transformative power of epigenetics.This episode doesn't shy away from controversy—from the politicization of medicine to the potential of off-label and repurposed drugs like ivermectin and metformin. It's a bold, necessary conversation about empowering patients, reimagining cancer care, and building a future where treatment is rooted in innovation, integrity, and true healing.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Dr. Goodyear's personal health crisis inspired a complete shift in his approach to cancer care.The “fight” against cancer often becomes a fight against the body—integrative medicine aims to heal, not battle.Cancer is part of the immune system—understanding that changes everything.Cryoablation offers a powerful, less invasive alternative to surgery with promising outcomes.Lifestyle, stress, diet, and toxins play a critical role in cancer development and recurrence.Epigenetic changes can pass through generations, altering cancer risk.Mammograms may not be as protective as once believed—and may lead to overtreatment.The healthcare system often incentivizes drugs over real healing.Repurposed medications like metformin and ivermectin show powerful anti-cancer potential.The term “quack” is weaponized to discredit innovative doctors who challenge the norm.

Today, I am honored to connect with my friend and colleague, Dr. Jenn Simmons. Dr. Simmons is an integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, author, podcast host, and the founder of Perfect Cutie Imaging.  In our discussion today, we dive into breast cancer statistics and the fact that most cases of breast cancer are preventable. We tackle the confusion caused by overdiagnosis, explain why mammograms can be problematic, and outline which breast cancer diagnoses are true emergencies. We provide clarity on the differences between various breast cancer types, the state of normal breast health, and how we have both estrogen and progesterone receptors. Dr. Simmons sheds light on DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) and explains why treatments like radiation may not always impact survival. We also examine the roles of trauma and alcohol in breast cancer risk, and we begin answering questions from listeners.  Don't miss this engaging, helpful, and proactive discussion with Dr. Jenn Simmons. We were wonderfully overwhelmed with all the questions we received, and with so much still to cover, I want to reassure everyone that we are already planning a follow-up AMA episode with Dr. Jenn. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The shift from reactive to proactive health and the need to build health rather than just treating diseases The role of lifestyle choices in reducing the risk of breast cancer Why mammograms are problematic, and how the incidence of breast cancer has increased in screened populations The carcinogenic effects of radiation The harmful effects of unnecessary breast cancer treatments The long-term effects of chemotherapy and radiation The different types of breast cancer The limitations of traditional cancer treatments and the importance of addressing the root causes of the disease How chronic stress and trauma can increase the risk of breast cancer.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Dr. Sharon Stills to uncover the hidden factors that impact healing—from oral health and scars to the lymphatic system and emotional well-being.

In this episode, I'm looking forward to introducing you to Dr. Jenn Simmons. She is a breast surgeon who turned into an integrative oncologist, now specializing in helping women identify breast cancer early and prevent breast cancer from happening in the first place. She has opened two QT breast imaging centers and is preparing to open more of them to help women in this effort to reduce breast cancer nationwide and even worldwide. Dr. Simmons is also author of "The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer." The book, as Dr. Simmons explains, is not just for women with breast cancer - it's necessary reading for every woman. In fact, she's considering publishing the same book without the pathology report explanations, perhaps titled "The Breast Owner's Guide," because the information is so vital for all women. She's already started working on her second book, showing her commitment to spreading this essential knowledge to as many women as possible. Dr. Simmons' approach represents a paradigm shift in how we think about breast health and cancer prevention. Her work combines the precision of conventional medicine with the holistic understanding of integrative healthcare, creating a comprehensive approach that addresses both the immediate concerns of breast cancer and the underlying factors that contribute to its development. The work she's doing is revolutionary in many ways, especially in terms of how we approach breast cancer screening and prevention. By opening QT breast imaging centers and writing educational materials, she's creating accessibility to better healthcare options that weren't previously available to most women. Her centers provide a more comfortable, less invasive, and potentially more effective way to screen for breast cancer, while her educational materials help women understand how to take control of their breast health proactively. I'm so proud to be sharing her work here on How Humans Heal.
