We're back with a brand new episode of This Is Happening!  Join Eric and Doug as we sit down with social impact entertainment entrepreneur Kristin Nobles and filmmaker Christine Torres to talk about breast implant illness (BII), a condition comprising an array of symptoms which can result in autoimmune and connective tissue disorders and cancer, among other serious illnesses.

For years, women with breast implants have suffered from many different painful and debilitating conditions, seeking treatment, but not knowing the cause of their sickness.  Only in the last year have the FDA and the medical community begun to acknowledge BII.

Kristin shares her story of the series of numerous illnesses she's battled since first getting breast implants 18 years ago and how her health got significantly worse since having her implants replaced with a purportedly safer product which has since been recalled.  

After bravely fighting for her life, enduring multiple surgeries and frequent hospitalization, Kristin has dedicated herself to help other women similarly struggling.  As part of this effort, Kristin, Christine Torres, co-host Eric Morris, and others are making a documentary to raise awareness about BII and build a community offering guidance and support.

To find out more about BII, check out www.healingbreastimplantillness.com.  You can also ask to join the Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/Healingbreastimplantillness/

Kristin is happy to communicate directly with people seeking help and information about BII.

We're back with a new episode!  Join Eric and Doug and superstar guest co-hosts Georgie Leahy and Brandon Rogers for a sendoff to our ace producer Ryan Leslie Fisher.  Ryan is leaving us for an indefinite period for career opportunities in Vancouver, Canada.  Yes, friends, it's come to that.  Ryan has been an invaluable, often behind-the-scenes component of This Is Happening! and we will miss him tremendously.  But Ryan is multi-talented and his diverse skills were bound to pull him away from our little operation eventually.  We wish Ryan every success while eagerly awaiting his return.

The gang also commiserates about COVID and looks forward to the end of 2020.

You can follow Ryan's continuing adventures on Instagram: @ryanlesliefisher, @enemiesofdorothy, and @singingdandy, on Twitter @rylesfish, and on his sketch comedy YouTube channel Enemies of Dorothy.
