One of the toughest things I’ve ever had to do: We’re kicking off this BII show with a deeply personal journey together, exploring my very own experience with implant illness. In this episode I’m walking you start to finish through the societal standards that influenced me to get implants, to the onset of my symptoms, the rollercoaster of discovering my implants were the culprit, explant surgery, detoxing, and ultimately recovering to finally become myself again.

Back From the Brink: How Battling BII Led Me to My Purpose

A truly chilling BII story that you can’t afford to miss: after suffering from breast cancer, Dawn (like so many women) underwent reconstructive surgery that involved implants. But things took a turn for the worse when those implants made her even sicker than her cancer did. And the scariest part? She’s not the only one.

Sicker Than Cancer: How Dawn’s Reconstructive Implants Poisoned Her More Than Before

Within days of getting her implants in, Judith because seriously ill. So sick, in fact, that she was bed-bound for over 6 months and even wrote her final will, thinking there was no way her body could pull through. 

Judith finally discovered that her severe BII was the result of recalled implants, which she was never contacted or notified about. Unfortunately this story is not uncommon, and the two of us discuss how women are treated in the plastic surgery world, body image, symptoms, and how to protect yourself.

It's the most common form of plastic surgery: tens of millions of women get implants to look and feel better about their bodies. But what if this popular 'augmentation' procedure is actually making us sicker than ever?

Breast Implant Illness is the 'invisible' disease that's been hiding in the shadows for far too long. Now it's time to speak up and help heal the women who suffer physically & emotionally - and prevent others from experiencing the same trauma.
