On today’s episode, I am speaking with Dr. Jennifer Caudle. Dr. Caudle is a board-certified family medicine physician, Associate Professor at Rowan University School of Medicine. She regularly appears as an on-air health expert for local and national news networks, including the TODAY Show, CNN, PBS and many others. She is regularly quoted and published in magazines and media outlets such as Shape, CNN Opinion, Prevention, Cosmopolitan and others. In the past year, Dr. Caudle’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and has recently completed active treatment. We talk about what it was like being a doctor and a daughter and caregiver during this time. Being a caregiver can be challenging and stressful and Dr. Caudle shares her experiences. We also speak about what family medicine is, Dr. Caudle’s background and journey, breast cancer screening, and a few tips about what we should be doing now in terms of the upcoming flu season.
