I have had a lot of requests to talk about Breast Implant Illness (BII), so here we go! My guest today is Dr. Robert Whitfield, a conventionally trained surgeon who has spent decades as a plastic surgeon working with patients with breast cancer, who has developed a unique approach to recovery and healing people with these conditions, as well as using alternative methods for breast reconstruction without implants. BII is a condition where people who have had breast implants go on to develop conditions, such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, hormone imbalance, and premature menopause, all driven by inflammation continuing to react to the implant that is in your body.

A healthy GI tract has an epithelial mucosal barrier that prevents the passage of food proteins, toxins, and microorganisms from crossing into the bloodstream.
Stress, overconsumption of alcohol, food intolerance, microbial imbalance and poor nutrition can affect the integrity of the epithelial barrier.
The ingredients in Leaky GutLift help regenerate and maintain the intestinal mucosal barrier. It's unique formula includes nutrients that support the gut mucosal epithelium.
