Dr. Mark Hyman

You trained in California for your fellowship.

You really are an expert in this field.

And you're kind of a heretic because you're going against the orthodoxy of plastic and aesthetic surgery.

We'll talk about the difference there.

But you're basically saying that

And women are being gaslit by the medical profession about breast implants.

Can you kind of unpack that for us?

My pleasure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So there's more to talk about and unpack about this, but the gaslighting is essentially saying to women, don't worry about it, or these symptoms are all in your head, or take some Prozac, you'll be fine.

And, and, and, and it's beyond just, you know, I, I kind of looked it up and I was preparing for the podcast, but up to 10 to 25% of women have some type of complication.

That's one in 10 to one in four women have a complication and it's everything from caps or contracture.

Right.

And so.

And you can talk about that to autoimmune and inflammatory issues you mentioned, to the ASIA that you talked about, this autoimmune inflammatory thing, the breast implant illness, and the cancer risk you mentioned, this lymphoma.

Even just local, you know, sort of endocrine effects as the silicone migrates and neurologic effects, cognitive effects, psychological effects.

So,

Can you kind of unpack a lot of that and just kind of talk us through each one of those?

Because it's a lot of stuff, and it's not just one thing that it causes.
