A short excerpt from a February 18, 2025 YouTube interview with Robert Whitfield MD titled "Transforming Health: When Implant Removal Isn’t Enough." The clip discusses that implant removal doesn't always resolve symptoms and describes Whitfield's clinic approach: an in-house functional medicine team, internal testing, year-long detox plans, and controlled supplementation begun before surgery (pausing patients' prior supplements) tailored to patient genetics.

Chapters

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.
