And the truth is that many people have autoimmune diseases or issues for many reasons.

And so, the way I think about toxins is it's sort of like a cup that overflows.

Your body can handle it to a certain extent.

moment, and then your toxic load gets so high that it tips over into a disease.

And so, you know, there may be other factors and other toxins that are affecting you.

There may be other things in your microbiome.

There may be dietary factors.

There may be late infections.

There's a lot of reasons for all those symptoms that relate to immune activation and inflammation and autoimmunity and microbiome issues.

Even there's heavy metals, right, in the silicone.

Yeah, it's small, but it's a cumulative effect of all this.

And so I think that, you know, we're now in an era where we're beginning to understand that, you know, toxins play a role in human health.

Doctors have been really notoriously bad at thinking about that or assessing it.

And unless you have an acute poisoning, they don't think toxins are a problem because your body can handle it.

You know, it just thinks you're fine.

Yeah.

and so what what's really unfortunate is that you know doctors because women wanted this you know developed a way to help women you know with their body image or get breast implants but the the dark side of it is it's it's problematic and it has created a whole string of of issues that um are concerning and that have you know a lot of metabolic effects and cellular effects and

cognitive effects.

I mean, it's not just autoimmunity.

You can get neuroinflammation and brain fog.
