  • The Brain Inflammation No One's Talking About with Dr. Eboni Cornish

    The Brain Inflammation No One's Talking About with Dr. Eboni Cornish
    Nov 20 2025
    Dr. Eboni Cornish, Associate Medical Director at Amen Clinics and President-Elect of ILADS, breaks down why Lyme disease is just the beginning of the story. As someone who specializes in neuroinflammation caused by chronic infections, she explains how tick-borne diseases, parasites, and mold toxicity don't work alone. They create an inflammatory cascade that crosses the blood-brain barrier, triggers autoimmune responses, and makes recovery from conditions like breast implant illness exponentially harder. From her work analyzing brain scans showing infection-driven inflammation to her clinical insights on why gut stability determines immune stability, Dr. Cornish provides a masterclass in understanding complex chronic illness. You'll learn why standard testing misses most infections, how genetics determine your susceptibility to toxin accumulation, and why the real question isn't IF you have parasites but how much they're contributing to your inflammatory burden. Dr. Eboni Cornish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.ebonicornish/ Amen Clinics: https://www.amenclinics.com/ Amen Clinics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amen_clinics/?hl=en ILADS: https://www.ilads.org/ IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Discover why Lyme disease is actually three infections (Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesiosis) that create different symptoms and require clinical diagnosis beyond lab testing. Uncover the connection between HLA genetics and your ability to clear mold toxins, tick-borne diseases, and why some family members get devastatingly sick while others stay healthy in the same environment. Break through the parasite denial that keeps you sick, including why testing is unreliable and how parasites create biofilms with other pathogens to overwhelm your immune system. Transform your understanding of the gut-brain axis and why stabilizing your microbiome isn't optional if you're dealing with neuropsychiatric symptoms, chronic inflammation, or breast implant illness. Learn practical nutrition strategies that meet patients where they are, from working with picky eaters to creating sustainable anti-inflammatory habits without the stress of restriction-based diets.

  • From Genetics to Daily Habits: Precision Healing with Dr. Sara Szal

    From Genetics to Daily Habits: Precision Healing with Dr. Sara Szal
    Nov 13 2025
    Dr. Sara Szal, a Harvard and MIT-trained physician, sits down to unpack why women bear the brunt of autoimmune conditions at rates that keep climbing. She introduces the three-legged stool concept that's required for autoimmune disease to take hold, then breaks down why 95% of her patients show cortisol dysregulation long before they're ever diagnosed with anything. What makes this conversation powerful is that Dr. Szal doesn't just study this academically, she's lived it, going through prophylactic mastectomies and converting her own positive anti-nuclear antibody back to normal through targeted interventions. This is a masterclass in understanding the drift from health to disease and exactly what you can do about it before the soldiers come for you.

  • The Radical Choice Most Surgeons Won't Offer You with Lacey Marie

    The Radical Choice Most Surgeons Won't Offer You with Lacey Marie
    Nov 6 2025
    Lacey Marie spent years fighting for her life against breast implant illness, bouncing between specialists who removed everything except the one thing she knew was making her sick, her implants. When genetic testing revealed she carried markers for breast cancer, an oncologist told her she was "lucky" because they could just remove her breast tissue and keep her implants. That's when she started pushing back. In this raw conversation, Lacey reveals why aesthetic flat closure remains a hidden option for most women, how geographic location dictates your surgical choices, and what happened when she finally got surgeons to listen. This isn't just about choosing not to reconstruct, it's about fighting for the right to make that choice in the first place. IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: * Discover why aesthetic flat closure is rarely presented as an option and what that reveals about medical bias in women's health * Understand how dense breast tissue, implants, and genetic markers create a perfect storm for surveillance challenges * Learn what "botched" flat closure really means and why surgeons leave excess tissue "just in case you change your mind" * Explore the mental health journey of reclaiming femininity and sexuality without breasts * Break through the access barriers that determine which reconstruction options you'll even hear about based on where you live CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: Dr. Pompa on Still Feeling Sick After Explant: Breast Implants & Detox Lies: https://youtu.be/UVm7NWvp88k Natalie Jill's Explant Story: Informed Midlife Choices: https://youtu.be/hjvZQ58ySK0 Links and Resources boobless.life website: https://boobless.life/ Lacey's TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_APuiU03k8 Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

  • The Truth About Biofilms and Chronic Inflammation with Dr. Landon Pryor

    The Truth About Biofilms and Chronic Inflammation with Dr. Landon Pryor
    Oct 30 2025
    Dr. Landon Pryor shares his transformation from a traditional plastic surgeon who believed implants were safe to becoming a dedicated explant specialist who refuses to place devices anymore. After watching patient after patient experience "miraculous recoveries" following explant surgery in 2018, he realized he couldn't justify putting foreign objects into women's bodies, even with informed consent. Both surgeons dive deep into why standard culture testing misses biofilm infections, how textured devices create a "Rocky Mountains" effect of inflammation, and why every single implant they've removed shows chronic inflammatory response. This isn't just another medical discussion, it's two surgeons following the evidence wherever it leads, even when it means challenging everything the medical establishment still teaches today. IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: * Discover why standard infection testing from 1950 completely misses bacterial biofilms living on breast implants * Transform your understanding of why implants were moved behind the muscle (hint: it wasn't for your benefit) * Break through the myths about fat transfer and why it's been unfairly demonized in reconstruction * Learn why PCR testing reveals what traditional cultures hide about implant contamination CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: Episode 125: Dr. Daniel Pompa on Biotoxins, Detox Strategies, and Finding BII Relief: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-125-dr-daniel-pompa-on-biotoxins-detox-strategies/id1678143554?i=1000717790234 Episode 137: Environmental Toxins Are Messing With Your Body, Here's How to Fight Back with Dr. Aly Cohen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-137-environmental-toxins-are-messing-with-your/id1678143554?i=1000730936483 Links and Resources Dr. Pryor’s website: https://www.biicentersofexcellence.com/ Check out Dr. Whitfield's research on biofilms: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/12/9/1830 Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

    Episode 139: The Missing Link Between Oral Health and Total Body Healing with Dr. Dome Nischwitz
    Oct 23 2025
    Dr. Dome Nischwitz, a leader in biological dentistry and ceramic implantology, joins Dr. Whitfield to connect the dots between oral health and systemic inflammation. After placing over 5,000 ceramic implants and treating thousands of patients with chronic illness, Dr. Dome shares a truth most dentists won't tell you: the materials in your mouth might be keeping you sick. From mercury vapor exposure to hidden jaw infections called cavitations, he breaks down how conventional dental work creates a chronic inflammatory burden that affects everything from your sleep to your energy levels. Most surprising? The relief patients experience when they finally address the dead tissue, metals, and infections living silently in their mouths. This conversation will change how you think about that root canal, those metal fillings, and what optimal oral health actually looks like. IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Discover why losing just one millimeter of bite height cuts blood flow to your brain by 50%—and what this means for cognitive health and Alzheimer's risk Break through the confusion around root canals, cavitations, and why dentistry is the only medical field that leaves dead tissue in your body Transform your daily oral care routine with simple, toxin-free protocols using hydroxyapatite toothpaste, coconut oil pulling, and copper tongue scraping Identify the warning signs that previous dental work is contributing to your chronic inflammation, fatigue, or unexplained symptoms Understand why removing mercury fillings incorrectly can make you sicker—and what "safe removal" actually involves Dr. Dome's Website: http://drdomeofficial.com Dr. Dome's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdome1/?hl=en Dr. Dome's Book: It's All In Your Mouth: https://www.amazon.com/Its-All-Your-Mouth-Biological/dp/1603589546 Dr. Whitfield’s SHARP Method: https://www.amazon.com/Method-Strategic-Holistic-Accelerated-Recovery/dp/B0DGFHMC16 Try Flow Products: https://flowpressousa.com/flow-products/?afmc=DRROBVIP Try Joovv and use code DRROB for $50 off: https://joovv.com/ Check out these episodes: The Truth About MOLD and Breast Explant and Breast Implant Illness: DOCTOR EXPLAINS Dr. Pompa on Still Feeling Sick After Explant: Breast Implants & Detox Lies with Robert Whitfield MD Links and Resources Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

    Episode 138: The Muscle Loss Crisis No One's Talking About with JJ Virgin
    Oct 16 2025
    JJ Virgin has watched women torture themselves for decades chasing a number on the scale, only to become weaker and more fragile in the process. In this conversation, she breaks down why body composition—not body weight—determines whether you age with strength or struggle with frailty. We get into the hidden dangers of GLP-1 medications when used without resistance training, why marathon runners have the same muscle mass as couch potatoes, and the three shifts that actually work: adequate protein, lifting heavy things, and walking daily. Whether you're recovering from explant surgery, navigating perimenopause, or just tired of feeling weak, this episode gives you the roadmap to rebuild resilience that lasts. IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Discover why your scale weight means nothing if you don't know what that weight is made of Break through the "skinny fat" trap that leaves women metabolically unhealthy despite normal BMI Transform your understanding of GLP-1 medications and why they're destroying muscle mass when used incorrectly Uncover the real reason a 90-year-old woman fell outside my office (and how you can prevent the same fate) Learn the three non-negotiable lifestyle shifts that protect strength, bone density, and metabolic health as you age Check out these episodes: Bioenergetic Strategies in Practice with Harry Massey: https://youtu.be/nir8JIHmUC8 Simple & Powerful Nutrition Strategies for Recovery: https://youtu.be/8mOjxL1ZQDw JJ Virgin's Podcast: Well Beyond 40: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/well-beyond-40/id911502027 JJ Virgin's Longevity Podcast: http://jjvirgin.com/after60 DEXA scans for body composition assessment: https://www.dexafit.com/services/dexa-scan JJ Virgin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jj.virgin/?hl=en JJ Virgin on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jpWhLL36llg1gvesoNlMw Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

    Episode 137: Environmental Toxins Are Messing With Your Body—Here's How to Fight Back with Dr. Aly Cohen
    Oct 9 2025
    Rheumatologist and environmental health expert Dr. Aly Cohen reveals a shocking truth: we're all toxic until proven otherwise. From the outdated 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act to the 10,000+ untested chemicals in our food supply, she explains why our bodies are fighting an uphill battle against chronic inflammation. But here's the reality—you don't need to wait for government regulation to start making changes that matter. Dr. Cohen walks through high-yield, actionable changes anyone can make: reverse osmosis water filtration that's cheaper than you think, frozen USDA organic foods that democratize nutrition, and simple swaps that cut chemical exposure without breaking the bank. You'll walk away understanding that your immune system isn't broken—it's just overwhelmed—and you have way more control than you realize. IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Discover when to test and when to act—Dr. Cohen explains why everyone's toxic until proven otherwise, and which changes matter most right now Learn the one federal regulation that actually protects your food and how frozen USDA organics give you pesticide-free nutrition at a fraction of the cost Break down why your tap water is likely contaminated regardless of where you live, and how a $400 reverse osmosis system can save you money compared to carbon filters Expose how dust in your home concentrates chemicals from flame retardants, fragrances, and everyday products—plus the simple cleaning methods that actually work Transform your approach to inflammation by understanding how everyday chemical exposures mimic hormones, disrupt immune signaling, and drive everything from breast implant illness to autoimmune disease Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

    Episode 136: Walking, Longevity, and Why Foot Health Is the Missing Link to Aging Well, with Mark Sisson
    Oct 2 2025
    Here's the reality—most people over 60 are walking around in shoes that are slowly destroying their feet, and they don't even know it. Mark Sisson joins me to explain how thick, cushioned, elevated shoes cut off the critical feedback loop between your feet and your brain, leading to weakened arches, lost balance, and eventually those devastating falls that change everything. We dive deep into why foot health is the lowest hanging fruit in longevity right now, how your big toe literally connects to your glute activation, and why the walking you do after surgery (or any day) matters more than you think. Mark shares insights from taking 35 first-time PELUVA wearers on a five-mile hike—nobody got blisters, and everyone felt the difference. If you're serious about staying strong, mobile, and independent as you age, this conversation will change how you think about every step you take. IN THIS EPISODE WE'LL: Discover why conventional cushioned shoes are weakening your feet and compromising your entire kinetic chain—from your arches to your hips to your lower back Break through the myth that more cushioning equals more comfort, and learn how ground feel and toe splay are actually the keys to pain-free movement and injury prevention Transform your understanding of the big toe as the anchor of your entire lower body, directly wired to your glutes and essential for strength, balance, and preventing falls Explore why walking in community isn't just nice to have—it's a longevity strategy that combines movement, mental health, and meaningful connection in one simple practice Reclaim foot strength and resilience through barefoot training and minimalist footwear, protecting yourself from the frailty, osteoporosis, and devastating falls that derail so many people as they age Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield
