Bioidentical Hormone Replacement & Navigating Menopause After Breast Cancer With Dr. Jenn Simmons
About this episode
Episode Highlights With Dr. Jenn Simmons
- Her very personal experience with hormone replacement and breast cancer
- How she was trained believing that hormones caused breast cancer
- What she learned instead and her massive paradigm shift
- How her mindset changed with her own symptoms and when she actually dove into the research
- The real data on hormones causing cancer and why we’ve been told the wrong thing
- Estrogen does not cause breast cancer — the truth is much more nuanced than this
- When you don’t have estrogen, your body starts to deteriorate significantly
- Women who are on hormone replacement and get breast cancer actually have better outcomes
- The same number of women die of a complication of a fracture as breast cancer each year, and hormones help protect the bones
- 2-3x more women die of heart disease than breast cancer and BHRT helps protect the heart
- We need to unlearn what we think we know about hormone replacement and learn the proper benefits
- The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer by Dr. Jenn Simmons
- Estrogen Matters: Why Taking Hormones in Menopause Can Improve Women's Well-Being and Lengthen Their Lives -- Without Raising the Risk of Breast Cancer by Avrum Bluming and Carol Tavris
