In today's episode of Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn, I interviewed Megan Smith, a documentary filmmaker, and investigative journalist, whose work has sparked vital conversations about breast cancer screening and alternative cancer treatments. She is the director of bOObs: The War on Women’s Breasts, a documentary which investigates the controversy around mammography.
Together, we unpack the issues surrounding the medical industry's adherence to traditional mammograms despite the danger of them. She encourages patients to trust their intuition and take charge of their health, and to be wary of the one-size-fits-all approach often found in conventional cancer care. Her eye-opening documentaries provide a platform for questioning the status quo and pushing for advancements in how we approach, categorize, and treat cancer. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone touched by cancer.
In this episode you'll:
- Understand the concerns associated with the use of mammograms.
- Hear firsthand experiences that underline the importance of informed consent in cancer screening and treatment decisions.
- Learn about the incline toward natural treatments and lifestyle changes to manage or reverse cancer healthfully.

- Highlight the significance of addressing metabolic health, psychological trauma, and spirituality in cancer recovery and treatment.
