Dr. Christine Kelley has practiced in the Indianapolis area since 1999, currently as an associate with Meridian Plastic Surgeons. She specializes in reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries for the full body, with a particular interest in breast and torso surgery. She draws upon her extensive experience in clinical wound healing and reconstructive surgery to also address the cosmetic surgery needs of many of her patients. As technologies and patient preferences have changed over the years, she has developed an interest in minimally invasive and non-invasive treatments to improve aging concerns on the face and body with less downtime and recovery. When surgery is required, she has made an effort to learn about new techniques to reduce bruising, swelling, pain and scarring. In December of 2015, she treated her first patient for complaints of breast implant illness (BII). Hundreds of others followed, and explant surgery has become a significant and fulfilling part of her practice. In September of 2019, she was privileged to begin collaboration with Dr. Mithun Sinha and others at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Together, they are trying to better understand the mechanisms responsible for a pathologic host immune response related to breast implants.

We’re welcoming Dr. Kelley today to share her groundbreaking work on BII. We examine the frustrating absence of a specific ICD-10 code for BII and the ramifications it holds for those seeking explant surgery. Dr. Kelley explains the intersection of functional medicine and aesthetics, discussing the cautiousness needed when considering implants for patients with autoimmune conditions. We’ll also hear about the potential of advanced implant engineering and integrated functional medicine approaches that may offer new treatment regimens, allowing patients to maintain their implants without compromising their health.

After a 20-year career in the United States Navy, Dr. Jones pursued a career in aerospace engineering before discovering his true passion lied in Naturopathic Medicine.

When Dr. Jones retired from the military and began his corporate life, he noticed he felt tired, anxious, stressed, and depressed. He suffered from constant pain due to worsening injuries to his low back and knees. His primary care doctors presented pharmaceutical and surgical options to address his concerns, but Dr. Jones knew there had to be better options that were not being offered.

The determination and motivation instilled in him by his family and Naval service led Dr. Jones to research and investigate every method that had potential for improving his health. This included diet, hormone replacement, stress management, regenerative injections, IV therapy and much more. This journey eventually led him to Naturopathic Medicine – the evidence-based approach to medicine that embraces finding the root cause of illness, treating the whole person.

Fast forward to today and Dr. Jones practices functional medicine with an emphasis on pain relief and regenerative therapy, peptide therapy, IV therapy, and hormone replacement. Dr. Jones has received extensive training in regenerative injection therapy, IV nutritional therapy, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, and peptide therapy. Dr. Jones’s goal for every patient is optimal health, energy, and happiness.

Today’s episode focuses of cardiometabolic health, blending the worlds of functional and anti-aging medicine with practical, everyday strategies. Dr. Jones presents his expertise on foundational health, the surprising efficacy of peptides, and a deep dive into the roles hormones play in maintaining our cardiovascular system.
