Chapter 1: Who is Andi Lew and what is her background?
All right, guys. Andy from Australia, down under. Let's go.
I know, I know. Look, I'm from Australia, but I've been living in Los Angeles for almost three years. I came on this extraordinary talent visa because of my work as a wellness expert and dating and lifestyle coach.
And I think, you know, being called extraordinarily talented is amazing because, I mean, if the government thinks that you need to be here above everyone else, then I guess it was a gift. So I packed up two suitcases, my son and a bag of Lego and just started a new life. Happy to be in Vegas finally to be on your show, Sean. Yeah.
Yeah. We've been trying to make this happen for a while.
Yeah. And here we are. So magic.

Chapter 2: What is Breast Implant Illness and how did Andi's experience shape her book Treasure Chest?
Yeah. We're going to dive into all your books. You got a lot. Four books. Just drop Treasure Chest, right?
Yeah. Actually, Treasure Chest is my 10th book. It's about exposing explants and empowering you. I couldn't bring all of them. I'd need a suitcase. And it's kind of like every time I birth another book, I'm like, why am I doing this again? But then I have an idea on how to help culture as a visionary, a researcher and an author. And then, you know, we write something else.
And so what's really present and important right now in terms of health and wellness is removing inflammatory drivers. That's what Treasured Chest is about. You know, it's about exposing the explant industry, which is removing breast implants. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was just, it was one of those things. I was almost dying. In fact, I was dying. My, you know, body was slowly shutting down.
The natural detoxification pathways weren't working anymore the way they should and the way our bodies designed. And so I had to address the trauma of the reason why I did this in the first place. And a lot of other people had came to me and said, you know what, I did this for trauma reasons too.
So it's interesting the movement that it's created in people reading the book and realising sort of their why. But, you know, things like hair loss was happening. So rapid hair loss is a symptom. Sudden food intolerances.
You have a laundry list of symptoms like anxiety, inflammation, depression, feelings of death even as the body can't, you know, expel this foreign body from the body, if you like. It creates what's called MCAS or mast cell activation syndrome. And that's basically the mast cells or the mast cells are the immune cells and they start attacking each other because they're
They want to expel that foreign body within the body. So, you know, I had all of these symptoms and more loss of libido, dry eyes, inability to sweat. And I started joining the dots. And eventually I realized I needed to explant. And it was, you know, that getting ready to shed moment where you have to do the deep work before you embrace your organic state again was wonderful. It was really hard.
I cried rivers. But then, like others, as soon as I woke up from that operating table, I was like, I'm free. I feel so much better. And so many symptoms go away. Now, six surgeons and an MRI said I was fine. But when I got woken up from that surgery table...
my professor, the surgeon, who I chose to fly all the way to Australia from America to do it with him because he explants, he does an implant, and he does the data to support that this is real. A lot of the surgeons are kind of saying, well, BII doesn't exist. Breast implant illness isn't an official diagnosis yet.

Chapter 3: How does the explant surgery work and why is it so important?
Are we not only doing this to ourselves, but hiding the information? And so, you know, the government and the Maha group, Make America Healthy Again, are really key in this time right now to understand what we need to do to help people who are silently suffering.
I love that. Yeah, there's so many women that feel the need to get cosmetic procedures, whether it's breasts or butt implants, right? It's concerning the health risks of all these surgeries.
And the BBL operation is actually, it's similar, but having BBL is even more dangerous. Not only have we got the inflammatory driver already there creating the cytokine storm, but now you've got extra pressure as you're sitting down on something that's not designed to have that sort of weight.
And then you've even got, you know, heat that's being produced by sitting down and the implant's not designed to withstand heat and certainly not even in a sauna where women are thinking, I can't sweat anymore. My natural detoxification pathways are shutting down. I need to sweat to detox whatever is in me.
But that's when a woman starts to get what's called contracture, where the implant starts to look deformed because it's desperately wanting to come out of its body. It's got nowhere to go. And I'm like smiling because I'm so relieved that I didn't die. you know, and that now I feel called on this mission, if you like, to help save others.
Wow. You've done a lot of research on bras too, right?
On which one?
On women's bras and how they're toxic.
You know, it's funny that you use the word toxic and, you know, we can label things as toxic and dangerous and all those sorts of things, but ultimately it's what we also make it mean. The only way that I would say that a bra would be, you know, dangerous would be when we're wearing underwire. Underwire is not healthy for you because it cuts off circulation.

Chapter 4: What are the dangers of cosmetic surgeries like breast implants and BBL?
And then they'd have to go and sterilize it again. And when everybody would leave, she would turn to the mother and go, are you with me? We're going to do this now, you know, take control of that birth. Because as soon as the baby's out, it's everything on their terms, you know, vitamin K injections, You know, we have cutting the cord immediately.
And there's still rich nutrition in that cord and that pulse. As you know, the stem cells, we're supposed to have what's called a lotus birth. You're supposed to actually wrap up that
you know, womb, the uterus with the muslin, the cloth, something cotton and natural, organic, allow mum and bub to continue to be connected until those two humans decide it's time to cut the cord and eventually it falls away. And then most people just bury that into, you know, a tree and then it produces the most beautiful fruit. Really?
Yeah, you think about how we're supposed to live and that constant, you know, giving back to the earth and being connected to the earth.
Wow, I didn't know it could turn into a fruit.
Well, just the nutrition that comes from that part of our body helps the soil to be more fertile. Oh, got it. Yes. I should have explained myself a bit better.
No, that's cool though. I'm leaning towards a natural birth when I have kids.
Oh, I'm so glad you're even thinking about that.
Yeah. Well, hospitals just scare me. The number of C-sections going on right now.

Chapter 5: Why is natural birth important and what are common misconceptions?
So if anyone's about to have a baby or, you know, having breastfeeding issues or anything, like I got taught by the best and I've been doing this for actually 31 years professionally. I know I look really good for my age. I'm 72. No, you're not. And I'm all natural.
You're not 72. That'd be crazy.
No, I'm not 72. But you thought I was what? I thought you were 38. Yeah. I'm actually 52 in July.
No way.
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
Thank you for the compliment.
That's insane.
Even with this unflattering lighting. Yeah.

Chapter 6: What are key insights into online dating and how to navigate dating apps safely?
There is some truth in that, that a lot of them are really focused on their jobs or they are living in la-la land. But, you know, I think it's interesting to know, I mean, what's Vegas dating like?
I heard it's terrible. I feel like any major city will kind of have that kind of crowd.
What about people that come to the major city, but they're not from that city in itself? I think you've always found a gem when you found someone like that.
One in a needle in a haystack is what they call it. Yeah.
Oh yeah.
That's the type of person I would probably be attracted to.
Yeah. So you're looking to find someone unique because you are unique. And I think we usually get attracted to those who are similar to ourselves or opposite to ourselves. And it's important to be aware of that because when it's similar to yourself, it feels familiar and you're wanting to match with that person on that same vibrational frequency. so that you can grow together in a healthy state.
Or it could be something like trauma bonding. So it's very like familiar and it's all you know. So it's important to be aware of that. Sometimes when you're attracted to somebody who's completely opposite to you, it's also because that person perhaps is going to fill a void that you wished you had.
So, you know, you might be attracted to someone that are really, I guess, empowered in their finances and you aren't. And that's because you wished that you could be that.

Chapter 7: How does dating culture differ between LA and Australia?
Well, I'm glad to hear that you're not ageist because neither am I. I'm not. Ageism is a thing, right?
Yeah. I've dated older. I've dated younger. But yeah, it doesn't matter to me because I feel like I'm pretty mature for my age. So I've always naturally been attracted to older people.
Oh, really?
Yeah. All my friends are in their 30s, 40s.
Yeah. Interesting. I mean, it's been like this forever, but why are we highlighting it now? Because we can see it, you know, and if it triggers something in you, it's because it's something you haven't learned to love about yourself yet. Like maybe you wish you could find someone in that fashion. Like, I don't know, have a think about why it's so triggering for you.
Yeah.
But if you do slide into my DMs, I promise I won't ghost you.
You've been ghosted before?
You know, not so much me, but yes, there was one experience that I wrote about from experience and that was in one of my books called Where'd They Go? Where'd They Go? You know, literally that's what ghosting is about. Ghosting is about like disappearing off the face of the earth. The person never actually replies to your text messages, your phone calls, your emails. It can happen in business.

Chapter 8: What role does self-perception and self-judgment play in wellness and relationships?
And I guess that's what the crusade is of all of my work, you know, in writing, in coaching and in educating is that, you know, we find ways to be well and merge the modern world, whether it's a modern dating world, the modern parenting world, the modern Ways we choose to eat or, you know, be exposed or don't be exposed to environmental toxic stressors like EMFs and the water in which we drink.
And not everybody can afford to even have, you know, a complete home filtration service.
How much did you spend on yours?
Well, you know, I was hoping to work with an Australian company called Complete Home Filtration System, but you have to have a house. And they were going to start opening up ways to do that in America. And there are American companies do that, but I'm renting at the moment.
Okay. I'm looking into mine right now.
Yeah.
I just got a house.
Right.
So I'm looking into different home filtration systems.
