In this episode of the Biohacker Babes, we sit down with Dr. Robert Whitfield, a renowned plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, to dive deep into the topic of Breast Implant Illness. Dr. Whitfield breaks down what Breast Implant Illness (BII) is, its symptoms, and who may be at risk. We explore the common myths surrounding the condition, how to recognize the signs & symptoms, and why many patients experience frustration when seeking answers. We also discuss explant surgery--the process of removing implants--and its potential health benefits. Additionally, we unpack the role of mold toxicity, biofilms, and heavy metals, lesser known issues that can affect those with breast implants. Tune in for an informative conversation that sheds light on an important but often misunderstood issue affecting women today.A plastic surgeon for over 25 years, Dr. Robert Whitfield previously specialized in working with cancer, burn, and critically ill patients, and reconstruction for breast, head, and neck. In 2016, one patient gave him a deeper purpose when she came into his clinic for a consultation regarding her existing breast implants and was battling a number of symptoms including headaches, chronic fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and much more. This led Dr. Whitfield on his path to helping women who suffer from Breast Implant Illness (BII) and to date, he has performed thousands of explant surgeries. Unique to his practice, Dr. Whitfield believes it is important to combine functional medicine as a core part of his work. He developed the SHARP method (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program), a series of protocols (testing, GI mapping, supplementation, nutritional counseling, etc.) to help reduce systemic inflammation and assist patients who are both preparing for or recovering from surgical procedures, cosmetic or otherwise.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the show!2:40 Dr Robert Whitfield’s bio3:24 Welcome him to the podcast!5:32 What is Breast Implant Illness?6:40 How the United States treats BII differently9:28 Reconstructing with your own abdominal tissue10:20 Does everyone with implants need to be concerned about Breast Implant Illness?14:21 Reducing swelling in tissue during surgery17:39 Who is the most susceptible to BII?19:42 Mold toxicity as an upstream stressor21:38 The biggest strains of bacteria found on implants24:25 Catching up on new breast implant research26:40 *CAROL BIKE*28:05 *MAGNESIUM BREAKTHROUGH*29:15 Biofilms & the immune system31:52 Detoxing before vs after38:02 Heavy metals & breast implants39:29 Should you use Saunas with implants?43:15 Timeline for surgery & healing46:54 MRIs & Ultrasounds for ruptures47:47 Fat transfers & weight loss drugs53:16 Dr. Whitfield’s Resources & Learning center57:12 His final piece of advice58:32 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: drrobertwhitfield.comMetaOxy TestCarol Bike - Discount code: biohackerbabes for $250 off BiOptimizer’s Magnesium Breakthrough - Discount code: biohackerbabes10Our Sponsors:* Check out Puori: https://Puori.com/BIOHACKERBABESSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
