Breast Implant Illness: Metabolic Tips

Breast Implant Illness: Summary

In Breast Implant Illness, Michele Scarlet, a board-certified functional medicine practitioner and personal trainer, shares her story about helping women lose stubborn fat through her signature program, Core Fit. She discusses optimizing metabolism through functional lab testing, exercise, nutrition, and self-care practices. Scarlet narrates her personal health struggles, starting from her teenage years, dealing with symptoms including constipation, bloating, hair thinning, leading up to serious conditions like hypothyroidism and SIBO in her thirties.

Her journey also involves advocating for breast implant illness awareness, as she experienced significant health improvements after explanting her implants, which were contributing to her health issues. Scarlet emphasizes the importance of looking beyond conventional health advice and exploring functional medicine when traditional methods fail. She attributes much of her recovery to the support and insights obtained through working with an FDN practitioner.

Throughout the podcast, she stresses the need to consider multiple potential root causes of health issues rather than focusing solely on one factor. Finally, she calls for awareness on various health factors that women often overlook, such as oxidative stress, proper nutrition, and overall stress management, and wraps up with her advice on the importance of maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm for overall wellness.
