Currently 10 weeks post op for explant surgery. BEST decision I ever made. So many doctors and specialists over 10 years of having implants saying I was fine and I wasn’t! I am finally feeling like myself again. If you are thinking of implants, please please please think again. They aren’t worth it. You are BEAUTIFUL without them. The Lord blessed you with your body without them!
@@ladiiyb I had my implants for over 10 years and they were rough after having kids. I had so many health problems I decided to just get them out and have a lift and just deal with whatever I had left. Well, I don't have much left but let me tell you, life with little boobs is fantastic! Lol. I seriously can't believe what I had carrying around on my neck and shoulders for so many years. I seriously had a weight lifted off my chest. If you do anything, just get a lift! Or just learn to love them the way they are because they did some pretty awesome stuff! It's like a road map or a suitcase with stickers from all the places we've been.
I removed my breast implants back in 2016. There was not much info out there about explanting like there is now. I went back to the same surgeon that put them in. He charged me $2,000 with local anesthesia. They were out in less than 20 mins. I felt the pressure off my chest immediately! Best decision of my life.
@@daisymendez2332 okay that’s good, eventually if your interested it is good to have the capsules removed as well since they do not deteriorate from our body’s and are known to cause us harm .
I removed my implants after being diagnosed with low thyroid. After I took them out, my thyroid went back to normal, and I lost 17 pounds. People told me it looks like I deflated after I removed my implants. Makes me think about all the illnesses that will be related to all these transgender surgeries.
It's already happening in the trans community. I'm early retired, but have friends still working in the medical field. They're seeing trans people coming in with health issues related to the implants.
I got breast implants when I was 26, they caused chronic hives all over and dark under eye circles that wouldn't go away, I also had air hunger. 5 years later I had them removed and all of those issues went away. They AREN'T worth it!
I will never understand why people do plastic surgery ever. People need to be content with themselves! You don’t have to look the best. You have a bra so your breasts should look just fine when wearing clothes. Plus no one should care about your naked body when you are married. A good loving man would never care about not looking perfect
@@apriledwards2905 you seriously think that’s what the majority of plastic surgery is about? Obviously that’s a whole different thing. Plastic surgery for severe deformation is a very different thing than perfectly healthy people choosing vanity
So good...#functionalmedicine This is why I value my Plexus MORE than standard physicians... this is why I also am open to learn more about food solutions! Because I have been freed from 4 specialists, 4 medications, and over 25 years of a slow, insidious death by the hands of psychiatrists and primary care physicians. 🙌 But for the grace of God😭🙌
Functional medicine is great! But, you do have to be careful who you see and their beliefs. I saw a functional medicine Dr. who utilized crystals in his practice to identify “unbalances” in the body, I quickly left his practice. Crystals are a new age practice. I however firmly believe in functional whole body health through a Biblical lense. Like he said herbs that God has already made. And using food as medicine.
I absolutely agree. Like within any field, there are excellent FM doctors and some bad ones. Ideally, look for someone who has a Biblical perspective and is an excellent practitioner.
I didn’t either but when year 16 came, I started falling apart. Stroke like symptoms all unexplained, joint pain started, dry eyes, migraines, fatigue and blood sugar issues. I eat extremely clean, exercise and am in my late 30’s.
@@leslychavez211 Just don't let your guard down. Maybe you're a rarity and there's no leakage, for now. The moment anything feels off, go get checked out. I've worked in the medical field and have seen my share of women irreparably damaged because of this. It's not worth it.
Shingles is highly contagious. He could have gotten them from anyone who had physical contact with him. A doctor I worked for years ago would warn his shingles patients to avoid contact with children, the elderly, and anyone with auto-immune issues, while the shingles was active.
"Don't worry about it and it'll happen" was my approach for the first year and a half.... 3 years in, have tried natural, IUIs and mini-IVF -- still no kids and no hope it'll ever happn. I'm not wrong to be a bit anxious about it. Good for you though and your perfect family 😔
This has been know for years Jenny Jones had a big program on them in the 80's and Dow Corning had a lawsuit against them for their breast implants at the same time. They lost a class action suit.
Unfortunately my daughter, who is a nurse, got implants because of her husband. She knew better but did it anyway. She has had to have one removed and a new one placed. My fears are She will beat the odds.
I am a naturopath doctor and I have been following the same philosophies and practices as Dr Axe. So great to know that he's a Christian and promotes supporting the body's, natural God given healing abilities! Great interview.
My husband is a type one diabetic for over 40 years and during the height of COVID we went to his doctor. They wanted him to get the Covid shot because of his high risk status. He declined and we were asked why? We responded with the reasoning that he is relatively healthy and we felt his body was equipped to handle the virus effectively God willing. We were immediately scolded and told they were the ones educated and naturally more able to make this decision for us. The doctor actually got offended and tried to make us feel stupid. Long story short, no shot got Covid at least once and praise God his immune system did its job.
Yes they are the doctors, however not one of them could tell you any of the ingredients in these shots! We as medical professionals (I'm a nurse) are not trained in anything other than looking for signs and symptoms of immediate reaction with new medications or immunizations. Reaction to his childhood immunizations and we thought we were going to lose him as he was in the hospital for 5 days with 105 fever that they couldn't break and we were told he'd be possibly brain damaged. He has mild autism but is functional, and we were the lucky ones. I went with one of my friends who wanted to stop giving the jabs to their children Who had horrible reactions every time, and the pediatrician got very angry with me when I asked her what was in the shots, she handed me a pamphlet and I told her I know what's in them do you know, can you list even two ingredients, and she yelled at me and told me to get out of her office! When I was a kid I got eight immunizations, kids these days get 72 total many of which are combinations and extremely toxic. Big pharma is the only industry on the planet that has ZERO liability when it comes to vaccines. It's criminal!
it was crazy because i was pregnant with my first child right after the covid vaccine came out and i remember going to my first OB appointment during probably march of 21' (the vaccine came out december of 20') and my OB ridiculed me and was sooo rude to me because i said i hadn't taken it and i wasn't interested in getting it at that time. she said it was 100% safe and effective completely harmless and i didn't say anything to that but i was just thinking in my mind how could you possibly know that? do you actually know that or are my baby and i going to be your test subjects? are there going to be any repercussions if this vaccine causes me to miscarry my child?? she was sooo rude and hateful to me during all of my appointments and would always bring up the covid vaccine lol
I regret the one I got because I thought it was right, and the second I got after my own research and talking my doctor. Two people I know were fully (I think) vaccinated and died of 'rona Pneumonia. Yes, they both had serious underlying conditions. But still, I pray for those that truly believe it helps.
LOVE Dr. Axe. Was one of the first I started watching when I went all holistic when I had a miscarriage @ 40 and wanted more babies. I went on the have 2 more! 😍
That’s incredible! I’m so happy for you! I also had a miscarriage at 40 (would have been my 4th. Iost my first and then had two beautiful babies). I was thrown into such a hard recovery and hormones were all over. I didn’t want to try anymore.
Being small breasted my whole life, I have never thought about doing something so drastic just for to look more feminine or sexy. We need to be comfident and learn to love our body how it is! Brast feeding my babies until they were toddlers made me grateful that my breasts fullfilled their duty🤱
I got mine due to what the surgeon called Extreme asymmetry and shape. They were two different sizes and completely different shapes. And I had lost some weight so the larger one had completely deflated. I was 21 at the time. I was also single. I didn't just want to feel a little bit more confident. I just didn't want to look like a freak. Had I known then what I know now, I just would have had a lift and had them reshaped. But I was basically told the only option was a lift, which I did need, and implants. So I went with it. It was fine for a few years but after two pregnancies, my hormones were all over the place. They didn't give us the full warning before 2017, because they weren't legally required to, so most of us didn't even know the full warnings. I have a online copy of everything they went over with me and what I signed in my records and it's not even in there
Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but I’ve followed Dr axe for probably 10 years. So happy to see him on and for breast implants to be talked about! I suffered from breast implant illness for YEARS the last year I had them before I got them removed I felt like I was dying! I’m in my early 30s. I’ve had them out for 2 years now and as soon as I woke up after surgery I felt like I got my life back. Implants should be illegal and will never be worth it.
Ivermectin saved my life. I had to get it from Mexico ( through a friend who had a friend ) because my Tucson pharmacy refused to fill the prescription.
I really love these Wellness Wednesday podcasts lately!! Keep it up please! Bringing theology and wellness together into one podcast is just what us young women need to hear these days!
I have a friend right now having episodes like seizures but the doctor said they are not seizures and not connected to her implants, but she got them 8 months ago and then started these symptoms recently. They are telling her it is from past trama but I find the timing something that can't be ignored.
Maybe share this video with your friend. She needs to have them removed stat! I've worked in the medical field and have seen my share of women damaged by those implants. It's a matter of life and death.
I grew up on a farm and when I was probably around 5 or 6 I have a picture of me sitting in a water puddle covered in dirt duck poop and who knows what else, and I rarely get sick. I totally agree we need to get our kids outside and playing in the dirt.
Josh would be great for a regular guest on functional health 🎉 so many people in your target demographic have been following him for a long time. Thanks for this episode!
YES!!!! He’s been my favorite for YEARS! And after listening to others and coming back to more of his stuff, I am SO appreciative of his tendency to include spiritual (biblical) principles in his advice, because there can be a lot of health advice out there that’s devoid of connection to the biggest root causes there are - God’s will and design, and my relationship with Him!
Dr Axe & Jordan Reuben his friend and business partner were an answer to prayer when I had major health crisis & hitting a dead end with conventional medicine! So thankful to the Lord for the wisdom gleaned from Dr Axe and how the principles o using ancient & biblical nutrition practices can literallly have a miraculous effect on your health and overall well being! I love taking advice from other believers that view medicine & healing from a biblical perspective vs evolutionary or conventional big pharma ways! This was a double treat to have two of my fav podcasters on the same show! 💛💛🙏🏼
About half my friends with implants removed them when they started getting random rashes and constant colds. The others replace their implants every ten years. I’m just over here with post baby saggers. Lol!
There is a lot of whack ideas out there. Its good to see this lady has grasp on things. And with a big platform like this a good representative for Jesus.
Honestly as a physician, the barrage of negative comments and poor understanding of physician education and role during this interview is so sad. The same thing that Dr. Axe referenced about the christian hit piece that wrote about him being unscientific is the same thing that is being done about all physicians here. Yes the prominent voices during COVID did not represent the thoughts of all physicians. Why can't you promote natural medicine without such a large barrage of negative comments about physicians? I do this everyday in my own practice and for myself. I have never taken birth control, I don't endorse taking medications for "any reason," and I encourage my patients to engage in shared decision making. You should be able to discuss tradeoffs with your physician because yes there are tradeoffs to every choice that is made in life. There are tradeoffs to even ingesting natural foods, like lead in certain ground cinnamon. I'm not saying cinnamon is not good but you also need to be informed on what you are ingesting and understanding the source. Sorry but if your doctor is prescribing blood pressure and cholesterol medicine without a conversation about lifestyle and what you're putting in your body - then get a new doctor. It is hard because patients have to more informed than one might anticipate but this seems to be true in all aspects of life - parenting, politics, faith, etc. There needs to be a more transparent bidirectional conversation. I do strongly believe that diet, environmental exposures and so many things in the world today contribute to disease.
Because many of us have been totally screwed over by medical doctors. I have one good doctor after looking for years. In my experience, well-informed doctors are less common.
Dr. Axe is wrong about infertility. Stress does not explain everything. Not every egg is genetically compatible with life, and for Dr. Axe to dismiss this fact is plain cruel.
I love, love, LOVE this episode! I have a friend who had breast implants and got extremely ill only to finally find out, after her own research, that that was the cause. She is extremely crunchy now (way to go!)and so much more healthy! Thanks so much for sharing holistic health views from so many people!
It is misleading and overgeneralizing to say that conventional medical doctors are not trained in nutrition or lifestyle. I grew up surrounded by people in the medical industry including many conventional medical doctors, including my father, and they all discussed nutrition and lifestyle changes before getting to any chemical medication. And more often than not, in the cases where nutrition and lifestyle changes would be the best option, it is not the doctors pushing drugs but the patient refusing to make the lifestyle changes. I do know that there are many doctors who push drugs for their own profit but I think in this general conversation about doctors and drug companies we need to not be so quick to vilify doctors when in a lot of cases they are trying to help people only to be met with an unwillingness to make hard lifestyle changes and that mentality is a large part of the problem. Also, continuing to vilify doctors and create fear and distrust of them can be dangerous. I know hearing all these things for the past few years has really played some mental games in my own head to the point where I refused to go to any doctor because the narrative is doctors are bad, greedy, and only trained in a way that benefits drug companies, etc. And then I was trying to reconcile that narrative with having a dad who is a doctor. We can’t make these blanket statements. Yes, ask questions and do research and make sure your doctor is one who will work with you and not just push meds. Because there are good conventional medical doctors out there.
generalizations are not absolutes. your father might be the minority of dr's that are ethical in that sense. but most of them (we seen in the last 3-4 years) are pushing drugs they have no idea what they do to people... the jab being one of them... and telling them if they don't get it they are putting everyone at risk of death or severe hospitalization; firing many nurses and doctors that refused to take the experiement... this happened and exposed most (not all) of them to not be real doctors but drug pushers.
How old are you? Because that was then and this is now. Doctors now just want you on pharmaceuticals. I've had so much trouble finding a doctor to help me with my hormones after having kids. If your not having infertility problems then no one cares about you. I've had to work on my health my myself.
@@AmberHoyle I’m 35. I have had my fair share of doctors that just want to slap a prescription on my symptoms but I’ve had more doctors that are wanting to understand what’s going on with whatever issues I might be having at the time and looking at what non-medical interventions we can try before medications. From all my experience both with my own health and the health of family members and even jobs I’ve worked in the health field, I’ve seen more doctors that care and are informed about the whole body than doctors that just want to hand you a script so it’s always shocking to hear health and wellness experts tear down doctors because that is not he experience I have had most of my life and it’s not been the experience for most people i know.
Thank you for this reply. My husband and I are both medical providers and I can assure you that we do not prescribe medications for financial incentives. Primary care docs are overworked and the burnout factor is real. I agree that many times it is the patients who do not want to make lifestyle changes and just want a quick fix. So the narrative that doctors are in it for the money only is misguided and frankly insulting. If we want to pin the problems we have in our healthcare system in this country on a group it should be the insurance industry. If we didn’t have to go around tending to the “quality metrics” they require we would have a lot more time to focus on patients. Not to mention the fact that every single insurance provider continues to decrease their reimbursement but we have to do more work for them. Meanwhile their executives are bringing in HUGE mind boggling amounts of money. As a private clinic with around 20 employees we sometimes barely break even. So no we are not financially incentivized by anyone, least of all the pharmaceutical industry!
@@dixieshrum5115 my dad was in a similar situation - small practice in a small, poor town in PA, paying for malpractice insurance (one of the highest at the time) and dealing with insurance companies and hospital administration, he was barely making it. That’s why he retired. He was so discouraged with the direction things were headed in, far from what it had been when he became passionate about being in the medical field. It’s sad.
I've been following Dr. Axe for years. I've noticed a new boldness in his videos and I appreciate it so much! Please don't forget Dr. Axe, who you will answer to one day. Not to any of us but to God alone. Stand strong in the face of persecution and keep speaking the truth. Know that you have brothers and sisters in Christ who are praying for you and your family as well. Matthew 5:10 Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us for free for so many years.
Allie Beth, you asked every question that I was wanting an answer to! Such a great interview- thank you so much for having Dr. Axe on - Looking forward to hearing more of these 'wellness' episodes!
That's what I'm wondering. Thirty years ago when I was working in the medical field we started seeing a lot of women getting those implants removed, because they were destroying their health. There was talk about switching from the silcone to saline, but it doesn't seem like anything has changed. I'm actually shocked to hear that this is still an issue.
This isn't anything new. Thirty years ago when I worked in the medical field, it was already happening. I met my share of women with leaking implants. I'm just surprised it's still going on. I was under the impression even back then that they were talking about switching the implants from silicone, to saline. Doesn't sound like anything changed.
I know two women who had their breast implants removed because they were always sick and doctors couldn’t figure out why. They had gained weight throughout the years and had severe joint pain to the point of not being able to function in life. I saw pictures of one when she had her implants and her face looked unhealthy. Immediately after they had them removed, they felt better and the next day looked healthier. My sister-in-law passed from breast cancer. A year after she had gotten implants her immune system shut down and the doctor couldn’t tell her why. Next year she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She refused to remove them and did holistic treatment and eventually chemo. She passed eight years after.
The more I’m learning about functional medicine, the more I’m wondering why TF western medical doctors spend so much time in medical school only to learn how to put bandaids on problems instead of finding root causes.
Me and my husband were on statins and just stopped. I couldn’t figure out why my blood sugar was so high and the one month I was forgetting to take them my blood sugar went down. They gave my hisbamd ED and then he started forgetting things like the date of my birthday and my kids birthdays. I’m so thankful God showed me what was happening. Going natural now
I have 9 kids and I have never “tried” to get pregnant. 😂 My husband and I live our lives and the Lord continues to bless us with children. All that to say, great fertility advice!!😊🙏🏻
I just saw you’re doing this and maybe you’ve answered it but what about it the Essure implants? I am going to have mine removed in a few weeks after finally realizing that ASIA syndrome is real and likely the last ten years of undiagnosable illness for me is being caused by my body’s inflammatory response to a foreign material in it. I’d love to hear what yall know about Essure. Listening now!
Took birth control for 7 years and it has ruined my health. Candida overgrowth , depletion of major vitamins… etc. it’s a crazy storm that I am still paying for 8 years later. Absolutely regret taking birth control I had no idea the side effects . Praying for healing for my gut.
This was me!!! I was on it for 11 years and had awful awful chronic candida issues. If you have the money and can find a practitioner who can put you on Cell Core, it was the only thing that helped me. I had done endless things conventionally and naturally. Cell Core was the silver bullet for me.
I agree with him! I’m 45 and 29+4 with my baby boy. I went off sugar, caffeine, and lowered my carbs and first time trying when my husband got home after 4 months worked! I also used supplements like Q10 and Inositol. I DID use progesterone because of my age but the other stuff I did improved my egg quality and made me a healthier mommy!
I think it depends on how it’s said, sometimes stress and a demanding job could be factors contributing and sometimes when women take a break they can conceive but by no means should someone say it absolutely happened when you stop thinking about it. There are so many factors to consider.
I would ask your friends who have seen an FM doc and seen good results. Or do an online search for "functional medicine doctor _________ (your city). And look at the online reviews. In addition, there are many great FM doctors who see patients virtually so ask someone you know who has seen good results or who is tapped into this field who may know a quality practitioner. Overall, word of mouth is typically the best so ask around.
I breast fed two kids after implants with no issues. But, I have had mine for twelve years and am interested in explanting. I’m no longer comfortable with the idea of having foreign objects in my body.
I had a horrible allergic reaction to ginseng. My fingers and face were so swollen. It took months for the swelling in my hands to go away enough to be able to make a fist.
You are correct and I wasn't able to fully elaborate on that thought. My point was that two sides that make something whole is discussed in TCM such as working and resting, eating meat and vegetables, and masculinity and feminity. The early parts of Genesis point to the same way God created the heavens and earth, night and day, and man and woman. TCM took patterns in the world and the human body and created a health system based on those principles which is very effective in many instances. So thank you for calling this out as this was the one part of the interview I would have elaborated on more to clearly define my point. So to confirm, Taoism isn't in Genesis, and I don't subscribe to Taoism, I am a Christian. But I believe there are patterns of this world that we can learn from and utilize to bring health to the body.
This is such a good episode, Allie! I loved your questions and really love Dr. Axe--I hope you can bring him on more often (I'd love to hear more about his journey with his new book)!! I'm a post-menopausal woman with daughters that are young adult women/wives/moms, so all these health topics are soo on-point for me. Thank-you so much, Allie, I love all your shows but this one on women's health was interesting, fun & helpful.
It’s crazy to me how It’s not the norm for a doctor to treat a patient as a whole, they should all be like this, but oh yeah pharma wouldn’t make any money 🤣
I'm so glad Dr. Axe explained the essence of Chinese Medicine to this audience. It's been very frustrating as a new Christian to have to defend my work to people who think it's demonic. Healing is a gift from God. With Chinese Medicine there are no negative side effects - only benefits! And the healing is felt on all levels.💖

How do you find a doctor who understands the dangers of implants and is supportive in removing them?
Dr. Linda Huang in Denver colorado is amazing and has written papers on breast implant illness and does expert removal of implants
My son had shingles when he was in elementary and he wasn’t on birth control.
Shingles is highly contagious. He could have gotten them from anyone who had physical contact with him. A doctor I worked for years ago would warn his shingles patients to avoid contact with children, the elderly, and anyone with auto-immune issues, while the shingles was active.
My friend’s son got shingles following his MMR-Varicella. There are reports of this happening although it’s very rare.
I have cervical dystonia in my neck. I wish implants could be a possible cause but in 20 years I’ve never read anything about a correlation.
Nobody said it’s only from birth control 😅
More episodes with Dr. Axe!💯
I’m loving Wellness Wednesdays!
As far as healthcare, medical treatments, and medications go - it is all a risk vs. benefit analysis.
Natural is better... I have always believed this.
Wonderful episode!!
I’m 100% on board! But a bit of grandma wisdom scrub those root veggies good, huge source of pinworms! 😅
Thank you ! ❤
I love Dr Axe!!
I love Dr axe. Ty
Wow, this was a great one! loved his advice at the end about starting your day with God ❤
"Don't worry about it and it'll happen" was my approach for the first year and a half.... 3 years in, have tried natural, IUIs and mini-IVF -- still no kids and no hope it'll ever happn. I'm not wrong to be a bit anxious about it. Good for you though and your perfect family 😔
No one said that sentence you quoted.
Great interview! Allie Beth, you asked such a wonderful variety of questions! I sure wish Dr. Aex was my doctor!
This has been know for years Jenny Jones had a big program on them in the 80's and Dow Corning had a lawsuit against them for their breast implants at the same time. They lost a class action suit.
Unfortunately my daughter, who is a nurse, got implants because of her husband. She knew better but did it anyway. She has had to have one removed and a new one placed. My fears are She will beat the odds.
Look into Dr. Josh Redd.
One pharma drug leads to 10 more. And side effects.
Awesome!
20:48 nite to self
Like dr. Axe
I hate it when women try to alter their bodies. Its inauthentic. But i dont even like tattoos, keep it natural.
That's so odd to me that there are Christians who link herbs to spiritualism, they're plants, highly nutritious plants.
Is he a believer?
Yes!
YES
I am a naturopath doctor and I have been following the same philosophies and practices as Dr Axe. So great to know that he's a Christian and promotes supporting the body's, natural God given healing abilities!
Great interview.
My husband is a type one diabetic for over 40 years and during the height of COVID we went to his doctor. They wanted him to get the Covid shot because of his high risk status. He declined and we were asked why? We responded with the reasoning that he is relatively healthy and we felt his body was equipped to handle the virus effectively God willing. We were immediately scolded and told they were the ones educated and naturally more able to make this decision for us. The doctor actually got offended and tried to make us feel stupid.
Long story short, no shot got Covid at least once and praise God his immune system did its job.
Great cause those shots are poison
Yep! Good choice. “Experts” can’t always be trusted these days.
Yes they are the doctors, however not one of them could tell you any of the ingredients in these shots! We as medical professionals (I'm a nurse) are not trained in anything other than looking for signs and symptoms of immediate reaction with new medications or immunizations. Reaction to his childhood immunizations and we thought we were going to lose him as he was in the hospital for 5 days with 105 fever that they couldn't break and we were told he'd be possibly brain damaged. He has mild autism but is functional, and we were the lucky ones. I went with one of my friends who wanted to stop giving the jabs to their children Who had horrible reactions every time, and the pediatrician got very angry with me when I asked her what was in the shots, she handed me a pamphlet and I told her I know what's in them do you know, can you list even two ingredients, and she yelled at me and told me to get out of her office! When I was a kid I got eight immunizations, kids these days get 72 total many of which are combinations and extremely toxic. Big pharma is the only industry on the planet that has ZERO liability when it comes to vaccines. It's criminal!
it was crazy because i was pregnant with my first child right after the covid vaccine came out and i remember going to my first OB appointment during probably march of 21' (the vaccine came out december of 20') and my OB ridiculed me and was sooo rude to me because i said i hadn't taken it and i wasn't interested in getting it at that time. she said it was 100% safe and effective completely harmless and i didn't say anything to that but i was just thinking in my mind how could you possibly know that? do you actually know that or are my baby and i going to be your test subjects? are there going to be any repercussions if this vaccine causes me to miscarry my child?? she was sooo rude and hateful to me during all of my appointments and would always bring up the covid vaccine lol
I regret the one I got because I thought it was right, and the second I got after my own research and talking my doctor. Two people I know were fully (I think) vaccinated and died of 'rona Pneumonia. Yes, they both had serious underlying conditions. But still, I pray for those that truly believe it helps.
LOVE Dr. Axe. Was one of the first I started watching when I went all holistic when I had a miscarriage @ 40 and wanted more babies. I went on the have 2 more! 😍
Congratulations on your babies!!!
That's incredible!
Suffering recurring miscarriages. Your testimony gives me hope
Love this! Praise God!
That’s incredible! I’m so happy for you! I also had a miscarriage at 40 (would have been my 4th. Iost my first and then had two beautiful babies). I was thrown into such a hard recovery and hormones were all over. I didn’t want to try anymore.
Being small breasted my whole life, I have never thought about doing something so drastic just for to look more feminine or sexy. We need to be comfident and learn to love our body how it is!
Brast feeding my babies until they were toddlers made me grateful that my breasts fullfilled their duty🤱
And there's NOTHING unfeminine or not-sexy about women with small breasts.
I prefer natural I look more at other women features directly to the throat use
@@skaterjamiefromredfern7475so ure a pervert? congratulations yawn
Im small breasted as well, but I couldn’t be more proud of my body when I breastfed my two girls ❤
I got mine due to what the surgeon called Extreme asymmetry and shape. They were two different sizes and completely different shapes. And I had lost some weight so the larger one had completely deflated. I was 21 at the time. I was also single. I didn't just want to feel a little bit more confident. I just didn't want to look like a freak. Had I known then what I know now, I just would have had a lift and had them reshaped. But I was basically told the only option was a lift, which I did need, and implants. So I went with it. It was fine for a few years but after two pregnancies, my hormones were all over the place. They didn't give us the full warning before 2017, because they weren't legally required to, so most of us didn't even know the full warnings. I have a online copy of everything they went over with me and what I signed in my records and it's not even in there
Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but I’ve followed Dr axe for probably 10 years. So happy to see him on and for breast implants to be talked about! I suffered from breast implant illness for YEARS the last year I had them before I got them removed I felt like I was dying! I’m in my early 30s. I’ve had them out for 2 years now and as soon as I woke up after surgery I felt like I got my life back. Implants should be illegal and will never be worth it.
Wow, that is remarkable, thank you for sharing your story!
Ivermectin saved my life. I had to get it from Mexico ( through a friend who had a friend ) because my Tucson pharmacy refused to fill the prescription.
I used ivermectin to when I had covid a few months ago, just the horse paste I ordered on line.
That should be illegal. They’ll fill doses of fentanyl, Xanax, adderall, OxyContin etcetera, but not ivermectin. Clown world 🤡
I really love these Wellness Wednesday podcasts lately!! Keep it up please! Bringing theology and wellness together into one podcast is just what us young women need to hear these days!
I have a friend right now having episodes like seizures but the doctor said they are not seizures and not connected to her implants, but she got them 8 months ago and then started these symptoms recently. They are telling her it is from past trama but I find the timing something that can't be ignored.
Maybe share this video with your friend. She needs to have them removed stat! I've worked in the medical field and have seen my share of women damaged by those implants. It's a matter of life and death.
Regardless if it’s due to the implants the implants are HORRIBLE for your health, I hope she sees the light and gets them removed 😣
Tell her to listen to Episode 237 of the Alisa Childers podcast
I grew up on a farm and when I was probably around 5 or 6 I have a picture of me sitting in a water puddle covered in dirt duck poop and who knows what else, and I rarely get sick. I totally agree we need to get our kids outside and playing in the dirt.
LOVE Dr. Axe, so glad to see him on Relatable!
Love the functional medicine doctors you're having on, so interesting!
Josh would be great for a regular guest on functional health 🎉 so many people in your target demographic have been following him for a long time. Thanks for this episode!
Shelf life from patriots are processed food. Buy dr a he's powders. They are better by far
You should try 😊😊
YES!!!! He’s been my favorite for YEARS! And after listening to others and coming back to more of his stuff, I am SO appreciative of his tendency to include spiritual (biblical) principles in his advice, because there can be a lot of health advice out there that’s devoid of connection to the biggest root causes there are - God’s will and design, and my relationship with Him!
This has been such a wonderful episode. Just the science and facts. I learned so much! Bring Josh back again.
I never got implants and have no plans for them. People have to accept me the way God made me.
Dr Axe & Jordan Reuben his friend and business partner were an answer to prayer when I had major health crisis & hitting a dead end with conventional medicine! So thankful to the Lord for the wisdom gleaned from Dr Axe and how the principles o using ancient & biblical nutrition practices can literallly have a miraculous effect on your health and overall well being! I love taking advice from other believers that view medicine & healing from a biblical perspective vs evolutionary or conventional big pharma ways! This was a double treat to have two of my fav podcasters on the same show! 💛💛🙏🏼
Just came here to say that conversations JUST LIKE THIS are what I LOVE to listen to! Please have more guests on like this!🙌🏼
More Dr. Axe!!
I would be more concerned about the people who have taken the COVID shot that not good either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About half my friends with implants removed them when they started getting random rashes and constant colds. The others replace their implants every ten years. I’m just over here with post baby saggers. Lol!
Lol one of my favorite office quotes from Creed is when he's talking about all natural baby: "Swing low sweet chariots" 😂😂😂
Normalize saggy breasts!! Haha
There is a lot of whack ideas out there. Its good to see this lady has grasp on things. And with a big platform like this a good representative for Jesus.
Thank you so much for bringing in Dr. Axe!
I respect, appreciate, and love this fellow brother in Christ!✨🤍
Honestly as a physician, the barrage of negative comments and poor understanding of physician education and role during this interview is so sad. The same thing that Dr. Axe referenced about the christian hit piece that wrote about him being unscientific is the same thing that is being done about all physicians here. Yes the prominent voices during COVID did not represent the thoughts of all physicians.
Why can't you promote natural medicine without such a large barrage of negative comments about physicians? I do this everyday in my own practice and for myself. I have never taken birth control, I don't endorse taking medications for "any reason," and I encourage my patients to engage in shared decision making. You should be able to discuss tradeoffs with your physician because yes there are tradeoffs to every choice that is made in life. There are tradeoffs to even ingesting natural foods, like lead in certain ground cinnamon. I'm not saying cinnamon is not good but you also need to be informed on what you are ingesting and understanding the source. Sorry but if your doctor is prescribing blood pressure and cholesterol medicine without a conversation about lifestyle and what you're putting in your body - then get a new doctor. It is hard because patients have to more informed than one might anticipate but this seems to be true in all aspects of life - parenting, politics, faith, etc.
There needs to be a more transparent bidirectional conversation. I do strongly believe that diet, environmental exposures and so many things in the world today contribute to disease.
Because many of us have been totally screwed over by medical doctors. I have one good doctor after looking for years. In my experience, well-informed doctors are less common.
I had mine removed 1 year ago. Best decision ever. All of my issues disappeared.
Dr. Axe is wrong about infertility. Stress does not explain everything. Not every egg is genetically compatible with life, and for Dr. Axe to dismiss this fact is plain cruel.
Dr.Axe is my fave!! This was such a good episode!
I worked at a natural health facility run by Christians. We worked hard to take back medicine from the New Age!
I love, love, LOVE this episode! I have a friend who had breast implants and got extremely ill only to finally find out, after her own research, that that was the cause. She is extremely crunchy now (way to go!)and so much more healthy! Thanks so much for sharing holistic health views from so many people!
My breast implants nearly killed me.
It is misleading and overgeneralizing to say that conventional medical doctors are not trained in nutrition or lifestyle. I grew up surrounded by people in the medical industry including many conventional medical doctors, including my father, and they all discussed nutrition and lifestyle changes before getting to any chemical medication. And more often than not, in the cases where nutrition and lifestyle changes would be the best option, it is not the doctors pushing drugs but the patient refusing to make the lifestyle changes. I do know that there are many doctors who push drugs for their own profit but I think in this general conversation about doctors and drug companies we need to not be so quick to vilify doctors when in a lot of cases they are trying to help people only to be met with an unwillingness to make hard lifestyle changes and that mentality is a large part of the problem. Also, continuing to vilify doctors and create fear and distrust of them can be dangerous. I know hearing all these things for the past few years has really played some mental games in my own head to the point where I refused to go to any doctor because the narrative is doctors are bad, greedy, and only trained in a way that benefits drug companies, etc. And then I was trying to reconcile that narrative with having a dad who is a doctor. We can’t make these blanket statements. Yes, ask questions and do research and make sure your doctor is one who will work with you and not just push meds. Because there are good conventional medical doctors out there.
generalizations are not absolutes. your father might be the minority of dr's that are ethical in that sense. but most of them (we seen in the last 3-4 years) are pushing drugs they have no idea what they do to people... the jab being one of them... and telling them if they don't get it they are putting everyone at risk of death or severe hospitalization; firing many nurses and doctors that refused to take the experiement... this happened and exposed most (not all) of them to not be real doctors but drug pushers.
How old are you? Because that was then and this is now. Doctors now just want you on pharmaceuticals. I've had so much trouble finding a doctor to help me with my hormones after having kids. If your not having infertility problems then no one cares about you. I've had to work on my health my myself.
@@AmberHoyle I’m 35. I have had my fair share of doctors that just want to slap a prescription on my symptoms but I’ve had more doctors that are wanting to understand what’s going on with whatever issues I might be having at the time and looking at what non-medical interventions we can try before medications. From all my experience both with my own health and the health of family members and even jobs I’ve worked in the health field, I’ve seen more doctors that care and are informed about the whole body than doctors that just want to hand you a script so it’s always shocking to hear health and wellness experts tear down doctors because that is not he experience I have had most of my life and it’s not been the experience for most people i know.
Thank you for this reply. My husband and I are both medical providers and I can assure you that we do not prescribe medications for financial incentives. Primary care docs are overworked and the burnout factor is real. I agree that many times it is the patients who do not want to make lifestyle changes and just want a quick fix. So the narrative that doctors are in it for the money only is misguided and frankly insulting. If we want to pin the problems we have in our healthcare system in this country on a group it should be the insurance industry. If we didn’t have to go around tending to the “quality metrics” they require we would have a lot more time to focus on patients. Not to mention the fact that every single insurance provider continues to decrease their reimbursement but we have to do more work for them. Meanwhile their executives are bringing in HUGE mind boggling amounts of money. As a private clinic with around 20 employees we sometimes barely break even. So no we are not financially incentivized by anyone, least of all the pharmaceutical industry!
@@dixieshrum5115 my dad was in a similar situation - small practice in a small, poor town in PA, paying for malpractice insurance (one of the highest at the time) and dealing with insurance companies and hospital administration, he was barely making it. That’s why he retired. He was so discouraged with the direction things were headed in, far from what it had been when he became passionate about being in the medical field. It’s sad.
I've been following Dr. Axe for years. I've noticed a new boldness in his videos and I appreciate it so much! Please don't forget Dr. Axe, who you will answer to one day. Not to any of us but to God alone. Stand strong in the face of persecution and keep speaking the truth. Know that you have brothers and sisters in Christ who are praying for you and your family as well. Matthew 5:10
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us for free for so many years.
We need more Dr. Axe's in this world. He is so knowledgeable and shares so much information in a way that is easy to understand.
Oh yes, breast implant illness is a real thing
Allie Beth, you asked every question that I was wanting an answer to! Such a great interview- thank you so much for having Dr. Axe on - Looking forward to hearing more of these 'wellness' episodes!
My functional medicine doctor saved my life!!! Love that you are having these conversations 🩷
Wow! I remember back in the ‘90’s when there was a whole class action lawsuit about this very thing! This is happening again?
That's what I'm wondering. Thirty years ago when I was working in the medical field we started seeing a lot of women getting those implants removed, because they were destroying their health. There was talk about switching from the silcone to saline, but it doesn't seem like anything has changed. I'm actually shocked to hear that this is still an issue.
Unfortunately the dr that was involved in exposing breast implants in the 90s was threatened and stopped
This isn't anything new. Thirty years ago when I worked in the medical field, it was already happening. I met my share of women with leaking implants. I'm just surprised it's still going on. I was under the impression even back then that they were talking about switching the implants from silicone, to saline. Doesn't sound like anything changed.
Because the drs and surgeons gaslight women 🫠
@@ashinthewildd It comes straight from Big Pharma.
I’m explaining next week! So hopeful to have my health and life back!
He states that a statin increases your risk for a heart attack. Could he please list the study/studies that show that? Thank you so much.
He has a 4 yr old and a 4 month old and he’s still functioning…. Must be his functional medicine practices😂 God bless him!
I’ve always liked Dr. Axe
I know two women who had their breast implants removed because they were always sick and doctors couldn’t figure out why. They had gained weight throughout the years and had severe joint pain to the point of not being able to function in life. I saw pictures of one when she had her implants and her face looked unhealthy. Immediately after they had them removed, they felt better and the next day looked healthier. My sister-in-law passed from breast cancer. A year after she had gotten implants her immune system shut down and the doctor couldn’t tell her why. Next year she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She refused to remove them and did holistic treatment and eventually chemo. She passed eight years after.
The more I’m learning about functional medicine, the more I’m wondering why TF western medical doctors spend so much time in medical school only to learn how to put bandaids on problems instead of finding root causes.
Me and my husband were on statins and just stopped. I couldn’t figure out why my blood sugar was so high and the one month I was forgetting to take them my blood sugar went down. They gave my hisbamd ED and then he started forgetting things like the date of my birthday and my kids birthdays. I’m so thankful God showed me what was happening. Going natural now
Statins bring on early onset dementia! Glad you got off. If you can red light plus use methylene blue it can help your brain!
I have 9 kids and I have never “tried” to get pregnant. 😂 My husband and I live our lives and the Lord continues to bless us with children. All that to say, great fertility advice!!😊🙏🏻
I just saw you’re doing this and maybe you’ve answered it but what about it the Essure implants? I am going to have mine removed in a few weeks after finally realizing that ASIA syndrome is real and likely the last ten years of undiagnosable illness for me is being caused by my body’s inflammatory response to a foreign material in it.
I’d love to hear what yall know about Essure. Listening now!
Took birth control for 7 years and it has ruined my health. Candida overgrowth , depletion of major vitamins… etc. it’s a crazy storm that I am still paying for 8 years later. Absolutely regret taking birth control I had no idea the side effects . Praying for healing for my gut.
This was me!!! I was on it for 11 years and had awful awful chronic candida issues. If you have the money and can find a practitioner who can put you on Cell Core, it was the only thing that helped me. I had done endless things conventionally and naturally. Cell Core was the silver bullet for me.
I agree with him!
I’m 45 and 29+4 with my baby boy.
I went off sugar, caffeine, and lowered my carbs and first time trying when my husband got home after 4 months worked! I also used supplements like Q10 and Inositol.
I DID use progesterone because of my age but the other stuff I did improved my egg quality and made me a healthier mommy!
Such a great podcast Allie! Thanks for being open about your own experiences. This guest was phenomenal!
@andrear.... Oh, wow! Thanks for sharing.
I've always been terrified of any form of surgery I could never ever consider any cosmetic surgeries😅
as someone who has been struggling with infertility for almost 3 years, I hate nothing more than "it hapens when you stop trying
Yeah it’s a bit insensitive for them to say. Sorry you are struggling!
Likewise! I quit e to think about it and still didn’t get pregnant. Ended up doing IVF for my 3rd child. All three were hard to conceive.
I think it depends on how it’s said, sometimes stress and a demanding job could be factors contributing and sometimes when women take a break they can conceive but by no means should someone say it absolutely happened when you stop thinking about it. There are so many factors to consider.
How do you find a functional medicine doctor?
I would ask your friends who have seen an FM doc and seen good results. Or do an online search for "functional medicine doctor _________ (your city). And look at the online reviews. In addition, there are many great FM doctors who see patients virtually so ask someone you know who has seen good results or who is tapped into this field who may know a quality practitioner. Overall, word of mouth is typically the best so ask around.
I always wondered if implants would somehow impact a woman's ability to breast feed if she got them before having kids.
I breast fed two kids after implants with no issues. But, I have had mine for twelve years and am interested in explanting. I’m no longer comfortable with the idea of having foreign objects in my body.
I had a horrible allergic reaction to ginseng. My fingers and face were so swollen. It took months for the swelling in my hands to go away enough to be able to make a fist.
Instead try Ashwagandha and Astragalus.
Been following Dr. Axe for years!!! Yay!
He's the best
🙏🏼
Taoism is not in Genesis
You are correct and I wasn't able to fully elaborate on that thought. My point was that two sides that make something whole is discussed in TCM such as working and resting, eating meat and vegetables, and masculinity and feminity. The early parts of Genesis point to the same way God created the heavens and earth, night and day, and man and woman. TCM took patterns in the world and the human body and created a health system based on those principles which is very effective in many instances. So thank you for calling this out as this was the one part of the interview I would have elaborated on more to clearly define my point. So to confirm, Taoism isn't in Genesis, and I don't subscribe to Taoism, I am a Christian. But I believe there are patterns of this world that we can learn from and utilize to bring health to the body.
17:10 LORD GOD please send us more doctors out there JUST like this one! 🙏🏼
Sounds like he’s explaining the Weston A. Price diet! 🙌 If I could add more, let’s not forget the fermented foods and healthy fats.
Yay for Wise Traditions!!!
What should someone eat who has hypothyroidism, but also gallbladder issues and can't eat fats like avacado, coconut oil, etc?
This is such a good episode, Allie! I loved your questions and really love Dr. Axe--I hope you can bring him on more often (I'd love to hear more about his journey with his new book)!! I'm a post-menopausal woman with daughters that are young adult women/wives/moms, so all these health topics are soo on-point for me. Thank-you so much, Allie, I love all your shows but this one on women's health was interesting, fun & helpful.
It’s crazy to me how It’s not the norm for a doctor to treat a patient as a whole, they should all be like this, but oh yeah pharma wouldn’t make any money 🤣
Fantastic episode!!!!
I'm so glad Dr. Axe explained the essence of Chinese Medicine to this audience. It's been very frustrating as a new Christian to have to defend my work to people who think it's demonic. Healing is a gift from God. With Chinese Medicine there are no negative side effects - only benefits! And the healing is felt on all levels.💖
That was the best episode yet!
