A MUST LISTEN episode for each and every one of us!!! Dr. Jenn Simmons is a functional medicine physician who lives in Gladwyne, PA with her husband, Albert, and two boys, Andrew and Will. Dr. Simmons attended Jefferson Medical College, completed a general surgery residency at Albany Medical Center, and was the inaugural fellow in breast disease in Philadelphia in 2003. Just three years into her career, she was named TOP DOC by Philadelphia Magazine and maintained that title every year since. Dr. Simmons was one of the leaders in breast surgery and cancer care in Philadelphia for 16 years. She performed innovative, cutting-edge surgery and successfully treated thousands of women for breast cancer. She was frequently called on for interviews by both local and national news outlets, as a breast cancer authority. She speaks both locally and regionally on the topic of breast health, disease prevention, and the treatment of breast cancer.
In 2017, Dr. Simmons was diagnosed with her first auto-immune disease. It was then that she learned the importance of diet in promoting health. Being a traditionally trained physician, she had limited training in the area of nutrition. She learned of functional medicine during this time and began doing some training in that field. So intoxicated by the concept of pursuing health rather than treating illness, she immersed herself in the study of functional medicine. In late 2018, following her second auto-immune diagnosis, she knew that she needed to leave surgery, both to heal herself but to help others to truly heal as well!
In October 2019, she founded Real Health MD, a comprehensive wellness center that offers functional medicine and access to a host of other interventions that provide a roadmap to those who want to stop treating symptoms and instead know real health. After only a few months of practice, she was put on the cover of Main Line Today as their TOP DOC in integrative medicine!
Dr. Simmons frequently speaks on her health journey, and on what she has learned in the course of healing herself. She continues to serve her breast cancer population by helping them and others to achieve hormonal health.
When Dr. Simmons is not working, you can find her spending time with her family, at the dog park with her three dogs, perusing her local farmers market, on the tennis court, or in the kitchen with friends cooking up a storm.
