Get yours here: https://linktr.ee/over50flourishing In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with Dr. Jenn Simmons for a conversation about breast health, medical autonomy, and why she believes women deserve more options and better information when it comes to breast cancer screening and care. Dr. Jenn Simmons is a former breast cancer surgeon turned outspoken advocate for a more holistic and patient-centered approach to women’s health. She is the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging and jennsimmonsmd.com, the author of The Smart Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer, and host of the Keeping Abreast podcast. Through her work, she’s challenging conventional thinking around breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment. We talk about why she stepped away from traditional surgery, her concerns with current screening practices, the role metabolic health and inflammation may play in disease, and why she encourages women to ask more questions and become their own best advocates.

Vaginal health is an important part of women’s health at every age, but it’s something we still don’t talk about nearly enough. In this episode, I’m joined by Wendy Strgar, founder of Good Clean Love and Vaginal Biome Science, to talk about what happens to vaginal health during perimenopause and menopause, the role of estrogen and the vaginal microbiome, and how women can feel more comfortable and informed in their bodies. We also dive into vaginal care, intimacy, arousal, and why our sex lives don’t have to change just because we’re getting older. Wendy Strgar is an award-winning entrepreneur and women’s health innovator who pioneered BioMatched® technology and has led groundbreaking research on the vaginal microbiome.
