Breast Implant Illness with Dr. Robert Whitfield and the Thyroid Expert

What do I think breast implant illness is? Right. And there is no medical diagnostic code for breast implant illness. So both you and I deal a lot with inflammation. You know, we experience and deal with inflammation individually in our lives and personally with our patients. And really, breast implant illness, to me, is just inflammation. The medical device, the breast implant itself, is only one potential driver of inflammation. So you as well as I know that your immune system and how it functions dictates much of how we manage, deal with, and get rid of inflammation. And if your gut health sucks, if you didn't pick your parents, right, if you don't take care of yourself, if you got exposed to mold, heavy metals, phthalates, glyphosates, all this stuff, then, yeah, you're going to have breast implant illness.
