Dr. Jenn Simmons spent nearly two decades as a board-certified breast surgeon working inside conventional oncology. Then her own health crisis forced her to question the system she had been trained to defend and ultimately walk away from it.

Dr. Kevin White sits down with Dr. Simmons to unpack how that turning point reshaped her understanding of breast cancer, prevention, and what real health protection looks like for women. She shares why focusing solely on tumors misses the bigger picture, how inflammation and environment quietly shape risk long before diagnosis, and why many standard screening practices deserve closer scrutiny.

In this episode, you’ll hear why “We’re very good at reacting to disease. We’re much worse at asking what created it,” how medical dogma can persist even when data says otherwise, and what safer, more respectful approaches to screening and prevention can look like when women are treated as individuals rather than protocols.

If you’ve ever felt confused, pressured, or dismissed when making decisions about breast health, this conversation offers a calmer starting point: one rooted in information, agency, and long-term wellbeing.
