  • The Biology of Trauma and Explant Decisions with Dr. Aimie Apigian

    The Biology of Trauma and Explant Decisions with Dr. Aimie Apigian
    Mar 5 2026
    Device-related complications aren't just physical. They're wrapped up in every message you ever received about your body, your worth, and whether you're enough. Dr. Aimie Apigian reveals why the decision to extract devices from the body brings old trauma screaming to the surface and why patients find themselves at war with their own minds. From job pressure to childhood bullying to Baywatch reruns, the reasons folks get cosmetic devices run deeper than anyone wants to admit. And when it's time to remove them, that original wound reopens. This conversation explains why you change your mind every three days, why you can't think straight in consultations, and why your nervous system treats this decision like a life-or-death situation. Because to your body, it is.

  • The Trauma Trigger Nobody Talks About with Jessica Brassington

    The Trauma Trigger Nobody Talks About with Jessica Brassington
    Feb 26 2026
    Jessica Brassington's story challenges everything you think you know about device-related complications. At 48, going through the most traumatic season of her existence, she was told her symptoms were just perimenopause, just natural changes, just reality. But when she heard about how major stressors can exaggerate device-related symptoms, everything clicked. Six months post-extraction with Dr. Whitfield, Jessica opens up about why she's grateful she didn't wait for the "right time," how her faith guided her decision, and why she's passionate about sharing her story so other folks don't suffer in silence. Her symptoms weren't debilitating, which almost stopped her from seeking assistance. This conversation is for every person who's been told they're fine when they know they're not, and for anyone who needs permission to trust their body's wisdom over someone else's timeline. Jessica on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jess_brassington/ IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Discover why traumatic experiences can trigger or worsen device-related complications even years after the procedure Break through the myth that you need "severe enough" problems to take action on your wellbeing Transform your understanding of fat transfer as a natural alternative to prosthetics during extraction procedures Expose the dangerous dismissal of female medical concerns as "just endocrine changes" or "just perimenopause" Unlock the power of sharing your story to assist other folks find answers and reclaim their wellbeing CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: The Day I Couldn't Get Up Off the Floor | Breast Implant Illness Recovery with Erika Why She Couldn't Remember Her Own Life with Brooke Ochojski Why These Plastic Surgeons REFUSE to Place Breast Implants Anymore | Dr. Landon Pryor Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@robertwhitfieldmd/videos Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

  • When Emotional Trauma Triggers Physical Breakdown with Madison Miranda

    When Emotional Trauma Triggers Physical Breakdown with Madison Miranda
    Feb 19 2026
    Madison Miranda spent three years trying everything to fix her unexplained bloating, headaches, and food intolerances before she finally had her devices extracted. She tried naturopaths, functional medicine, every protocol imaginable. Nothing worked until she removed her prosthetic devices. Two years later, she's thriving and creating allergy-friendly recipes on Instagram, but her recovery wasn't the overnight transformation she hoped for. Some symptoms disappeared instantly while others took nearly two years to fully resolve. The trigger for her physical collapse? The emotional trauma of losing her mother, which pushed her already-compromised system over the edge. This is the conversation about post-extraction recovery that shows you what really happens when the Instagram stories stop. Madison Miranda on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madison.miranda/ IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Explore how fat transfer changed Madison's entire procedure experience and body confidence Uncover which symptoms cleared up overnight versus which took nearly two years to fully resolve Discover why emotional trauma can trigger device-related symptoms even when you felt fine for years Break through the myth that everyone feels better immediately after device extraction Transform your understanding of recovery timelines and what "normal" actually looks like post-extraction CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: Why She Couldn't Remember Her Own Life with Brooke Ochojski The Real Causes of Autoimmunity in Women with Dr. Sara Szal Dietitian's Explant Story: How Breast Implants Destroyed Her Hormones at 26 | Gina Worful Links and Resources Let’s Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@robertwhitfieldmd/videos Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield
