Breast Implant Illness with Robyn Towt and Amanda Porta

Episode Summary

The truth about breast plants has been hidden from patients and women for decades. Robyn Towt and Amanda Porta both breast implant illness survivors are on a mission to build awareness and protect patients from disinformation and predatory doctors. They share in this episode their stories, struggles, and illnesses provoked by their breast implants. Their stories are horrifying yet beautiful, as they are now leading the way to bring awareness and truth to women so that they can make informed and more educated decisions regarding breast implants. They also share that the FDA just recently issued the 'strongest" black box warning due to studies showing that implants are associated with cancer of the immune system, anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). I hope that any woman with breast implants that are struggling with an illness and/or symptoms that cannot be explained will have another avenue to explore and research in their own journey toward healing. Let's dive in!
