What You'll Discover: • The shocking truth about how breast implants were created in 1962 and their disturbing origins • Why the FDA's black box warning on implants is being treated as "optional" information by surgeons • How the medical industry profits from keeping women uninformed and compliant • The difference between being a passive patient versus an active participant in your health • Practical steps to develop daily body wisdom practices and trust your inner knowing Key Topics Covered:

• The billion-dollar implant industry and medical paternalism
• Michelle Visage's brave journey and the power of sharing our stories
• How women's health concerns are consistently dismissed and minimized
• The pattern of profit over patient wellbeing in healthcare systems
• Why trusting your body's wisdom is a radical act of self-love and resistance

Episode Highlights:

• Nyomi's personal experience with severe migraines during pre-surgery detox
• The disturbing history of implant testing (spoiler: it involved dogs, not proper human trials)
• How the documentary triggered both inspiration and horror about women's healthcare
• The importance of becoming your own health advocate and researcher
• Why your body doesn't lie - it has no profit motive, only your wellbeing

Powerful Quotes:

• "Your body doesn't lie. It doesn't have a profit motive. It doesn't have an agenda except for your well-being."
