425. All About Breast Cancer and Hormones: Do Hormones Cause Breast Cancer?

We're diving deep into an incredibly pressing and often misunderstood topic: the relationship between breast cancer and hormones. I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Jenn Simmons, a powerhouse in women's health, to really get to the bottom of whether hormones cause cancer. Spoiler alert: it's not as black and white as we've been led to believe. We explore the often-misunderstood realm of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and dismantle the myth that estrogen is the big bad wolf in breast cancer development. Instead, we shine a light on the roles of environmental factors and metabolic dysfunction and how they impact breast cancer incidence and recurrence. Dr. Jenn and I also touched on the controversial Women's Health Initiative study, the confusion around mammograms, and the game-changing potential of new screening tools like PERFEQTION IMAGING. This episode is jam-packed with insights on how lifestyle changes, adequate hormone levels, and continuing education in the field can be monumental in both the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this – it's an eye-opener on so many levels. Tune in, get informed, and let's rewrite the narrative around breast cancer and hormones together.
