Summary

This week on Leveling Up, we discuss a different type of topic. Today, we sit down with Christina Dennis who is the founder of size-happy, who helps with a positive body image. She's also a big advocate for B.I.I Education (Breast Implant Illness Education)

Now, before you jump off of this episode, I urge you to listen in because of how important this topic is. There is so much more education happening about it, and it's important to know the truth.

A little disclaimer: I've had breast implants since I was 19 years old, and I've had six surgeries for them..SIX! I don't believe I have B.I.I, but I certainly have had complications.

So, dive in and learn from Christina on why this has become so important.

In this episode, you will learn:

What is B.I.I.
What are some of the risks of breast implants
Why your outer appearance has nothing to do with your inner acceptance
How you can get a positive body image

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Natalie Jill, fat loss expert turned high performance coach.
0:07.1	When odds are stacked against us, how do we shift and create everything from nothing?
0:11.0	How do we level up when we aren't feeling it yet or we've had a big setback?
0:15.2	On this podcast, I'll be talking to some of the most inspiring and courageous men and women on this planet who, at their
0:20.9	worst, learned how to achieve success greater than they ever dreamed possible, leveling up
0:26.6	and creating everything from nothing.
0:32.4	Today on leveling up, I am excited for a different type of topic today. I've got Christina Dennis here, who is founder
0:39.9	of Size Happy, where she helps with a healthy body image. But she's also a big advocate for
0:46.0	BII education, which is breast implant illness education. Now, before you jump off this,
0:52.1	because you're like, well, I have them and I'm not, I don't want to hear it, or you're somebody that, you know, this is not a topic that you feel like you're interested in. I am going to urge you to listen in because this is something that is getting more and more important. There's a lot of awareness growing around it. And I wanted to dive in and talk with her because I love Christina's approach. She doesn't
1:13.2	come at people. She doesn't create controversy around it. She really comes in with some education
1:18.9	and support to all women. A little bit of a disclaimer before we start, I have implants. I got them
1:24.1	when I was 19 years old. I wish I had not, but I did get them when I was
1:27.9	19. I've had six surgeries. I'm 48 now, six surgeries dealing with implant problems. I still have
1:35.2	them now. I do not believe currently that I have BII, but I do believe that I've had problems
1:40.5	with implants. That's where I am. And I have myself decided that at one point,
1:45.3	I will get them removed. I don't know when. I'm not in an urgent situation to get them removed,
1:49.4	but I will at one point get them removed before I would ever do another surgery on them personally.
1:54.1	But I wanted to dive into this conversation. I have so many questions for Christina,
1:57.7	and I really want to make this an education for you, for your
2:01.2	children, for friends that you've got so we can really, really dive in and talk about it.
2:05.7	So Christina, thank you so much for being here today.
