Jennifer’s Journey: How Early Screening Saved Her Life
In this powerful Your Health University episode, host Jamie talks with breast cancer survivor Jennifer Kistler to talk about her journey — from the moment she received her diagnosis to the lessons she’s learned about strength, support, and the importance of early detection. Jennifer opens up about her emotional experience, how her “core” of support carried her through, and why she believes every woman should make annual mammograms a non-negotiable. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we hope Jennifer’s story encourages women everywhere to take that next step — schedule the screening, have the conversation, and never underestimate the power of catching it early.
