| 0:00.0 | Women are being gaslighted by the medical profession about breast implants. The gaslighting is essentially saying to women, these symptoms are all in your head or take some Prozac, you'll be fine. I have seen many cases of women with severe illness correlated with their implants. What's even more impressive is when they take them out, they get better. |
| 0:19.0 | Silicon comes from petroleum. So this is a petrochemical industrial product. We have not changed the fundamental laws of biology, which is you put in a foreign object, it is going to have a reaction. Until I could predict who's going to have an adverse reaction to breast implants, it seemed completely unethical to be putting implants in for an elective procedure. The old paradigm of surgeons just cutting and leaving, I think it's done. You call it surgery a ceremony. I'd love you to unpack that. There is an altered state of consciousness, which is the medication that's using surgery. You know, body keeps a score. It's trying to make sense of what's going on. For example, one patient, her mantra was like, I want to come home to my body. I work with a great team of lymphatic therapist that will help you land back in your body as you're integrating everything. Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Jonathan Kenevsky. He is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles and a data scientist who advises Google and neurology. He is a leading voice in the treatment of breast implant illness, pioneering a transformative framework he calls surgery a ceremony. |
| 1:12.6 | So the big vision is that nobody puts an implant in ever again. |
| 1:16.2 | This is the only place an implant should be, which is outside the body. |
| 1:24.3 | More and more research is coming out on the importance of maintaining muscle as we age. |
| 1:28.0 | And muscle is essential for longevity, metabolism, and healthy aging. |
| 1:31.5 | In fact, in my January conversation with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, we took a deep dive into this topic, |
| 1:36.1 | highlighting the importance of prioritizing high-quality bioavailable protein. |
| 1:39.6 | But not all protein is created equal. |
| 1:41.5 | And one of the most nutrient-dense sources I've found is wild venison. |
| 1:45.0 | These wild access deer roam and grays freely in Hawaii on nearly 200 different plants growing |
| 1:49.8 | in volcanic soil, which produces meat that's incredibly rich in nutrients, truly embodying food |
| 1:54.5 | as medicine in its purest form. And what matters isn't just about the grams of protein. It's what |
| 1:59.1 | your body can actually absorb and use. |
| 2:01.4 | Venison is naturally high in bioavailable heme iron, B12 zinc, and complete amino acids, including |
| 2:06.7 | lucine, which helps trigger muscle protein synthesis. It's also naturally lean and incredibly pure. |
| 2:11.7 | And if you're like me, you want to avoid a lot of the things that show up in typical snack foods |
| 2:15.4 | like seed oils, soy protein isolates, added sugars, |
| 2:18.3 | and artificial ingredients. This is why I've been incorporating Maui Nuys wild venison jerky sticks |
| 2:23.3 | into my routine, whether it's after a workout on a busy day of travel or even on weekends when I want |
| 2:28.2 | something quick but nutrient dense on the go. They are made with just three simple ingredients, |
| 2:32.9 | wild venison, water, and spices. And it's not just great for me. Active kids, athletes, and parents all benefit from real nutrient-dense protein like this. Right now, Maui Nui is offering my listeners a free six-pack of their venison jerky sticks with your first order. Just go to Maui-N-U-Venisin-com slash hymen to claim your free starter pack. That's |
