This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Dr. Jenn Simmons — former breast cancer surgeon, integrative oncologist, author of The Smart Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer, and founder of PerfeQtion Imaging — for a bold conversation about breast cancer screening, diagnosis, prevention, and the questions many women are afraid to ask.
Dr. Jenn explains why she believes women need to rethink what they have been told about mammograms, early detection, and routine screening. She shares how her own cancer diagnosis changed the course of her career, why fear can drive women into rushed medical decisions, and why she believes women need time, education, and support before choosing a treatment path. Kerstin and Dr. Jenn also discuss dense breasts, family history, MRIs, overdiagnosis, and the difference between finding disease and improving survival.
Then the conversation turns practical: self-breast exams, stress, inflammation, alcohol, toxins, sleep, movement, purpose, and the foundational health habits Dr. Jenn says matter most. They also discuss newer screening tools like the ARIA tear test and QT imaging, and where women can go to learn more, book time with Dr. Jenn’s team, and schedule a scan.
