Episode 101: Dr. Rob Whitfield Explains Breast Implant Illness and the SHARP Program
We have a fantastic solo episode today with Dr. Rob Whitfield, a board-certified plastic surgeon who's here to shed some light on breast implant illness, or BII, and how it's managed.
Dr. Whitfield kicks things off by introducing us to the SHARP program. This isn't just any program; it's all about tackling chronic inflammation. How, you ask? Through some pretty cool methods like genetic testing, checking out environmental toxins, and making sure your gut health is in tip-top shape.
We dive into the nitty-gritty of BII symptoms and why it's crucial to remove the entire implant capsule during explant surgery. Dr. Whitfield also shares some eye-opening research on how bacterial contamination might be linked to BII.
But it's not just about the ****science. Dr. Whitfield is all about empowering women with the knowledge and resources they need. Whether you're thinking about explant surgery or are on the road to recovery, he's got your back with support and encouragement for proactive health management.
So, grab your headphones and get comfy—this is an episode you won't want to miss!
