Breast implant illness is a silent epidemic affecting millions of women. Dr. Rob Whitfield, a holistic plastic surgeon, shares what’s really happening inside the body when implants are placed. They fail, they rupture, they leak, and for nearly a third of his patients, bacterial contamination is found.
We talk about what chronic inflammation does to the body, why detox genetics matter, and how environmental toxins, poor detox capacity, and implants combine to overwhelm the immune system. Dr. Whitfield explains how real informed consent should sound and why no one should ever be told implants are lifetime devices.
We walk through what healing looks like after explant. From gut health to detox support and sleep, every piece of recovery helps restore balance. This is about helping women understand what’s really happening in their bodies and giving them hope for healing. Your body knows what doesn’t belong, and it remembers how to heal when you listen.
