Episode 153: Why Functional Medicine Kept Failing To Treat Breast Implant Illness with Brooke Ochojski and Dr. Robert Whitfield

Brooke Ochojski woke up every morning already counting down to bedtime. As a successful med spa owner and mother living what looked like a healthy lifestyle, nothing made sense about her SIBO diagnosis, her perioral dermatitis, or the fact that being sick had become her entire identity. After exploring every avenue from acupuncture to functional protocols, she finally listened to the intuition telling her something else was wrong. What she discovered goes far beyond the implants themselves. This conversation reveals the heavy metals nobody talks about, the bacterial contamination found in nearly a third of capsules, and why gut healing requires more patience than any other part of recovery. Most importantly, Brooke shares what happened when she stopped trying to bounce back and started building something better than she had before.
