In this critical episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with breast health expert and ultrasound sonographer Jasmine Khorsandi to explore the alarming rise in breast cancer among younger women and why many cases are being missed by traditional mammograms.

Is AI the future of medicine, or just another distraction from what truly heals us?
In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD pulls back the curtain on the healthcare system and why it's still failing so many people. With over two decades observing and practicing integrative and functional medicine, Dr. Taz shares her unfiltered take on the future of health and healing: what’s working, what’s broken, and what has to change if we want real wellness, not just symptom management.
From her own story of burnout as a physician to helping thousands of patients who’ve “tried everything,” Dr. Taz reveals why AI, lab tests, and protocols alone can’t fix the chronic illness crisis and why holistic medicine is the only path forward.
You’ll learn why we must rethink everything from how we train doctors to how we define evidence-based care. If you're overwhelmed by mixed messages in the wellness space, tired of being reduced to lab numbers, or just want clarity on what really works to heal the body, this episode will challenge, inspire, and reawaken your understanding of what medicine can and should be.
Dr. Taz unpacks:
• Why AI may be efficient, but not human and what that means for patient care
• The chronic illness statistics that should scare us (and what’s missing from the solution)
• What “holistic medicine” actually means and why it’s not just woo
• The real reason so many patients still feel lost, even in functional medicine
• Her vision for healing centers of the future and why your story matters just as much as your labs
• How to start rethinking your own wellness path today
If you’ve ever felt unseen in the healthcare system or sensed there must be more to healing than prescriptions and protocols, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.
Topics Covered:
• Functional vs. Integrative vs. Holistic Medicine
• Why AI can’t replace real human care
• Chronic disease, burnout, and the cost of a broken system
• What evidence-based medicine really means
• The multi-dimensional nature of healing
• How to move from symptom-chasing to whole-person care
• Building a new model of medicine, together

Breast cancer screening, prevention, and treatment are evolving, and in this episode, integrative oncologist and former breast surgeon Dr. Jenn Simmons reveals why it's time to rethink the mammogram. With breast cancer rates rising globally, many women are undergoing aggressive treatments for conditions that may never become life-threatening. Dr. Simmons breaks down the truth about mammography risks, the limitations of early detection, and introduces safer, more effective screening methods grounded in functional medicine and metabolic health.
This powerful conversation covers the real root causes of breast cancer, including chronic inflammation, environmental toxins, and metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Simmons shares her deeply personal story, from leading a top surgical practice to becoming a patient herself — and how that experience transformed her approach to care. She also explains why prevention must go beyond imaging.
You will learn how nutrition, lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, and advanced lab testing can play a transformative role in both preventing breast cancer and improving outcomes after diagnosis. This is a must-watch episode for anyone ready to move from fear to empowerment in their breast health journey.

About Jenn Simmons:
Dr. Jenn Simmons is an Integrative Oncologist, Breast Surgeon, Author, Podcast Host, and the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging. Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention.
Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. However, her perspective changed significantly when she became a patient herself. Through this personal experience, Dr. Jenn saw how broken the conventional medical system can be. This led her to discover and embrace functional medicine, a revelation that sparked her journey towards a more holistic approach to breast cancer care.
This personal journey led her to create Real Health MD in 2019, a practice dedicated to holistic healing for breast cancer. It integrates conventional wisdom with root cause medicine and the drivers of health: nutrition, lifestyle changes, detoxification, and stress management. Dr. Jenn's innovative approach doesn't stop there. As the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, she is establishing safe imaging centers across the nation, armed with revolutionary technology that promises to redefine breast cancer screening. This technology is not only fast and safe but also comfortable, affordable, radiation-free, and boasts 40 times the resolution of MRI. It has received FDA clearance, signaling a new era in breast health and breast cancer screening.
In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Jenn hosts the "Keeping Abreast" podcast, where she shares her expertise and encourages women to take control of their breast health. Her book, "The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer," challenges conventional wisdom and promotes a holistic approach. It emphasizes the importance of nutrition, lifestyle choices, and addressing environmental toxins, providing practical steps for women seeking to navigate breast cancer treatment and regain control of their health.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Dr. Jenn is a devoted wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, and athlete. Her life's mission is deeply personal, rooted in her cousin's memory, and driven by a desire to make a lasting impact on all those who desire breast health. As she famously says, "Breast Health is Health!"

Dr. Taz and Ryland dive deep into the microbiome-soil connection, the role of animals in regenerative ecosystems, and how returning to nature’s rhythms could be the missing piece in our chronic disease crisis.

She opens up about dealing with brain fog, anxiety, and sleepless nights, and why she left a successful 30-year career in journalism to change the conversation around menopause and midlife.

Tamsen Fadal’s Bio:
Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, documentary filmmaker, and social media’s “midlife mentor.” After more than three decades as a news anchor, Tamsen made the bold decision to pivot her career toward women’s advocacy. From the bedroom to the boardroom, she serves as a best friend and guide, a one-stop resource for everything women need to thrive during midlife and beyond. With a passionate and loyal social media audience of 4 million with 50 million monthly views, Tamsen leverages her decades of journalism experience to provide actionable tools from dozens of world-renowned experts on topics that women like herself have been curious about, afraid to talk about, or ashamed to ask.
Tamsen is the creator and producer of the groundbreaking PBS documentary, “The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause”, which has galvanized a global movement. It has been viewed by over 1 million women, led to thousands of screenings around the world, and is the first documentary on menopause accredited to provide Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits for doctors.
Her latest book, How To Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before (Balance Publishing), will be available in March of 2025.
Tamsen’s candor and relatability have taken her from the boardroom to the stage at SXSW to Capitol Hill, where she advocates for policies that eliminate the stigma of menopause and foster an environment where women feel empowered to embrace their midlife transition, finding joy,
confidence, and fulfillment through every life stage. In November 2024, she joined fellow
documentary producer Denise Pines and Senator Patty Murray, D-Wash., to highlight a bill at a panel on Capitol Hill — the first time, according to Murray, that such a discussion about menopause took place in the U.S. Capitol.
Fadal regularly appears in the media, including Oprah Daily, The Today Show, The New York Times, and The Harvard Business Review.
Tamsen holds a certificate in holistic health coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, serves on the national board of Let’s Talk Menopause, and is a strong voice in the fight against breast cancer, having lost her mother to the disease in 1990.
Tamsen currently lives in New York City and Santa Monica with her husband Ira Bernstein.
