In this YouTube short, Dr. Robert Whitfield announces a live Q&A session scheduled for 11 AM Central at drrobcircle.com, where he will expand on how Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) drives chronic inflammation and specifically discuss its impact on surgery. He outlines three focal points: (1) how MCAS influences implant tolerance, (2) the effects of over‑active mast cells on post‑operative recovery, and (3) pre‑surgical testing strategies to identify MCAS before an operation. The video references a prior session with Dr. Tanya Dempsey, emphasizes that most surgeons overlook these issues, and invites viewers to join the upcoming discussion.

Chapters

Last night, Dr. Tanya Dempsey and I broke down exactly how mast cell activation syndrome drives chronic inflammation, and the room was full of people getting answers. Today at 11 AM Central, I'm gonna go deeper. We're covering the surgery connection. How does mast cell activation affect any problems or issues with implant tolerance? What happens during surgical recovery when mast cells are already overactivated? And why and how can we test for this before surgery to determine what is going on? So this is what most surgeons aren't looking for. Today at 11 AM Central, live Q&A with me. Join us at drrobcircle.com.
