378: I Removed My Breast Implants After 10 Years—Here’s Why (And What Happened Next)

Hey loves, this one’s raw. It’s tender. And honestly, it’s been a long time coming. In this solo episode, I’m finally opening up about something I’ve been quietly navigating behind the scenes for years — my explant journey. Yep. Earlier this year, I made the incredibly personal (and powerful) decision to remove my breast implants after over a decade of living in a body that no longer felt like mine. What started as a few random symptoms — fatigue, eczema, rashes, brain fog — turned into a full-on quest to understand what was really going on in my body. From mold toxicity to thyroid issues and being dismissed by doctors over and over… it wasn’t until I started listening to my own body’s whispers that I realized — something deeper needed healing. If you’ve ever struggled with trusting your intuition, healing from something invisible, or feeling like your truth doesn’t fit into the medical mold — this is for you. What you'll get out of this episode… Why I got implants in the first place (and what they meant to me back then) The slow unraveling of my health, the gaslighting, and the “everything looks normal” results What years of research, expert interviews, and joining online BII communities with 190,000+ women taught me What finally gave me the courage to book the explant surgery — and what I wish I knew sooner The deep spiritual rebirth and reclaiming of my body that followed How to choose the right explant surgeon and what every woman should know before surgery Check out these Facebook Groups to learn more about Breast Implant Illness and join the community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Healingbreastimplantillness https://www.facebook.com/groups/biiresearchandrecovery This Episode Is Sponsored by Health Nag Feeling bloated, sluggish, or just off ?
