Summary
I've been through a lot of weird health complications the last couple of years and tried a lot of different therapies. If you had told me a year ago that it was my breast implants that were causing the problem, I'd have thought you were crazy. My health continued to decline, and then I came to realize that my implants could very well be at the root of why. Today, I talk about:
-Some of the symptoms I had
-What I tried to fix them/heal
-What made me believe my health problems were related to my implants and not some other disease
-My explant journey, finding a surgeon, why I chose the surgeon I chose, etc
-Why you NEED an en bloc total capsulectomy if you choose to explant
-How I'm feeling now/improvements I've already seen since surgery 2 weeks ago
-Lots more!

Today's episode of EMBody Radio is brought to you by Four Sigmatic. Four Sigmatic provides the best in adaptogenic/therapeutic mushroom products. You've seen me post about this stuff on Instagram and IG stories all the time, and I wanted to take a sec to tell you a little more about them today. I started using them because I love adaptogens, and many of their mushroom products are just that – adaptogens. Adaptogens basically help you respond better to physical and emotional stress. I run a business, run multiple social media platforms that tie into my business, I'm a student, and I have a life outside of all that that I'm trying to live, so stress management is key. Mushrooms can also be used to help everything from your gut health to your skin.
My favorites are the Lion's Mane Mushroom Elixir and the Mushroom Hot Cacao with Reishi... Be sure to listen to the whole episode to learn why ;). If you want to try Four Sigmatic products, use the code "EMDUNC" to get 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/emdunc.
