The Dr. Robert Whitfield Show

Behind the fascination with augmented breasts is a complex truth that involves a number of experiences, such as trauma and the necessity for explants or breast implant removal. While breast implants have provided benefits for many women, they have also been connected with major complications and traumatic experiences.

In today’s episode, we are joined by Candice Barley, a breast implant illness patient advocate, and by Dr. Amanda Savage Brown, the author of Busting Free: How to Liberate Yourself from the Quest for Better Breasts Before, During, and Long After Explant.

Not every breast explant journey looks the same, but when you hear these stories over and over again, the similarities are remarkable. Today, Candice Barley shares her breast implant illness journey with Dr. Rob. Candice's story is one of hope and ultimately a return to health. If you are struggling with Breast Implant Illness, there is hope for you as well.

In our previous episodes, we’ve talked about how inflammation worsens the illness. That’s why we have to figure out whether or not there’s inflammation in the breast implants. So what we do is we work up all the factors that contribute to inflammation by testing through our Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program (HARP) to really prepare the patients and optimize them for surgery.

Today, Dr. Robert Whitfield speaks with Dr. Inna Lozinskaya, who’s a specialist in integrative and functional medicine. They dive into the ways our hormones, chronic inflammation, and sleep are all connected. Dr. Lozinskaya explains how things like stress, gut health issues, and daily habits can throw our hormones and sleep out of balance, which is especially common for women and people with breast implants.

Dr. Lozinskaya emphasizes the importance of obtaining the right tests, focusing on nutrition, and making lifestyle adjustments, rather than seeking a quick fix. She also shares some straightforward, practical advice for getting better sleep and feeling your best overall. The big takeaway? There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Taking a holistic, personalized approach is key when it comes to health and optimizing your hormones.

Dr. Lozinskaya is a physician, international speaker, and wellness expert who helps patients identify and address the root causes of their symptoms to naturally restore energy, balance hormones, and slow the aging process.
