#241: An Integrative Approach to Breast Implant Illness with Dr. Robert Whitfield

Breast Implant Illness (BII) is not going away anytime soon! It's something more and more women are experiencing. In this replay episode, I'm joined by Dr. Robert Whitfield to talk more in depth about BII. Dr. Whitfield is a conventionally trained surgeon who has spent decades as a plastic surgeon working with patients with breast cancer, who has developed a unique approach to recovery and healing people with these conditions, as well as using alternative methods for breast reconstruction without implants.  

BII is a condition where people who have had breast implants go on to develop conditions, such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, hormone imbalance, and premature menopause, all driven by inflammation continuing to react to the implant that is in your body.

You will hear more about:

• The underlying genetic, dietary, and environmental factors contributing to BII
• How functional medicine addresses often-overlooked aspects of breast implant illness
• The rise in demand for explant surgeries and why women are increasingly seeking these procedures
• Using testosterone for wound healing and specific protocols for improving surgery recovery
• The comprehensive hormonal balance checks Dr. Whitfield employs to ensure successful outcomes
• Using different techniques like fat transfers if you still want implants
• And more!

If you suspect you might have breast implant illness or are considering an explant surgery, don’t hesitate to seek medical help. Trust your instincts and persist until you find the right doctor who will listen and provide the care you deserve. 

Keep on listening, and remember, your health is your most valuable asset!
