Jessica Baladad FREAKING KNEW she had breast cancer and was being medically gaslit!

An unexpected breast cancer diagnosis at 33 years old empowered Jessica Baladad to channel her experience into a mission that’s changing the way women advocate for their medical care.

The five-year survivor created Feel For Your Life, a free mobile app that shows women how to perform self exams, track their progress and set monthly reminders. It’s the first of its kind created by a breast cancer patient and has
been downloaded tens of thousands of times all over the world. In 2024, Jessica implemented an AI feature into the app to help patients interpret and better understand pathology reports from their breast cancer screenings.

Since launching the app, Jessica has expanded her advocacy into healthcare reform. She’s helped write legislation in the State of Tennessee to promote risk reducing measures against cancer and disease. Billed as the Feel For Your
Life Act, it requires high school students to learn about self breast exams, testicular exams and skin exams.
Additionally, Jessica has spoken out against insurance companies before members of Congress. She is working to eliminate quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) scores, Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs) and co-pay accumulators.
Jessica plans to grow her efforts by further by working with medical providers, patients and vendors to bridge the gaps that keep individuals from getting access to the care they deserve.
