A short YouTube video by Robert Whitfield MD describing genetic and environmental factors that may predispose some people—particularly women—to breast implant illness (BII). Whitfield lists mutations in the vitamin D pathway (VDR, GPX), multiple methylation genes (including MTHFR), and antioxidant/glutathione-related genes (GSTT/GSST, GSTP1, SOD2) as risk factors, and notes interacting triggers such as estrogen intolerance/endometriosis, stress/trauma, mold, parasites, and Lyme.
