Short excerpt from a YouTube interview with Robert Whitfield MD about care for patients undergoing implant removal. Dr. Whitfield describes integrating functional medicine into his clinic: in-house testing, a dedicated team of functional practitioners, year-long detox plans, and personalized supplementation guided by patient genetics. He notes patients begin the clinic’s supplementation and pause their prior supplements when preparing for surgery.

Is there circumstances where sometimes you remove the implants and the symptoms still don't go away? Or for the most part, are people seeing their health just completely transform?
We started doing and developing our own systems and processes around functional medicine. And we have a whole team of functional practitioners in my clinic. And we do all of our tests and keep it in house now. And we do our detox plans, and those run for a year. So when someone comes to us and is going to engage with me for surgery, they start our supplementation and pause theirs because of how we mentioned it. I want to know they're getting the supplements that are needed based on genetics that we understand.
