A Doctor's Journey into Functional Medicine with Dr. Jenn Simmons

Wellness Sherpa

Traditional breast cancer treatments often concentrate on managing the symptoms and eliminating cancer cells rather than addressing the underlying causes. This approach can overlook important factors like nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental concerns. In contrast, Functional Medicine aims to enhance overall well-being and reduce the risk of recurrence by integrating these elements with the body’s natural healing process.

Dr. Jenn Simmons is a leading integrative oncologist, board-certified breast surgeon, distinguished speaker, best-selling author, and the founder of perfeQTion imaging. Following her own battle with breast cancer, Dr. Jenn discovered and embraced the concept of creating health rather than suppressing symptoms. In this episode, Dr. Jenn shares insights into her health journey and how it transformed her approach to breast cancer treatment and prevention.

I’m Jennifer Payeur, the host of The Wellness Sherpa as well as the CEO and Founder of Nature Provides. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 which brought me the gift of deeply reconnecting with myself and nature, re-discovering the healing power of plants. In 2017, I left my 29 year career in financial services to become a teacher and mentor, traveling around the world to educate others on the inherent healing properties found in nature.

Once 2019 came around, I started Nature Provides, whose mission is to transform health and well-being through organic plant-based herbs and essential oils. By collaborating with nature, we can create a healthy thriving world and a sustainable earth.

Welcome to the Wellness Sherpa podcast, where we engage with passionate leaders, holistic thinkers and disruptors who courageously share their personal journey, mission and wisdom with you. Together, we create a safe space to empower YOU to live your best, most vital life.
