Episode 103: Exploring MCAS and Breast Implant Illness with Dr. Kelly McCann
In this podcast episode, Dr. Kelly McCann, who's both an internist and a pediatrician with a focus on mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), chats with host Dr. Whitfield about how MCAS is linked to breast implant illness. Dr. McCann breaks down how these overactive mast cells can lead to a wide range of symptoms and shares some exciting new research showing that many patients feel a lot better after having their breast implants removed. They dive into how environmental toxins, genetic factors, and biofilms can make MCAS worse. The episode really highlights the need for advanced diagnostic tools and taking a holistic approach to tackle these complex health issues.
