I don't start with removing your breast implants.
But I'm like, listen, if everything else works that we do in functional medicine and we can't get you better,
then we've got to assume there's something that's toxic that's affecting you.
And we know that the silicone in breast implants is definitely linked to adverse health outcomes.
So you've spent your life training as a plastic surgeon.
You went to McGill.
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.
