Main Points From Today’s Episode About six months after getting breast implants, Diane started to experience a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. Despite seeing various healthcare providers and doing different types of testing, these debilitating symptoms went on for years until Diane discovered that they were triggered by her breast implants. Breast implants are filled with a host of chemicals, toxins, polymers, adhesives, and heavy metals. Many of these are xenoestrogens, which can contribute to estrogen dominance and the uncomfortable symptoms that go along with it. In Diane’s new book, Overcoming Breast Implant Illness, she explains what to do if you think you may have breast implant illness. She also shares safe options for rebuilding your breasts after having breast implants removed.
