    The Hidden Infections Making Chronic Illness Worse (And What Most Doctors Miss) with Dr. Mark Su
    Mar 26 2026
    Two root-cause physicians go deep on the chronic infections most conventional medicine refuses to take seriously, including why standard Lyme tests give false confidence, why mold can be even harder to treat than Lyme, and why parasites are so wildly underdiagnosed that even the CDC data supports what they are seeing in practice. If you have been dismissed, gaslit, or told your labs are fine while you still feel terrible, this conversation was made for you. Learn More About Dr. Mark Su RootSeekHealth.com (virtual practice) DrMarkSu.com IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Expose why standard Lyme antibody testing is far less reliable than most practitioners admit, and what better testing options actually exist Uncover why mold illness is arguably the most complex chronic condition to diagnose and treat, especially when the source is still inside your home Confront the parasite problem hiding in plain sight, including why veterinary labs can diagnose parasites on the spot while human labs consistently fail Explore how chronic infections layer on top of each other to create a systemic inflammatory burden that no single test will ever capture Discover the practical, actionable first steps both doctors use with their own patients to start reducing toxic load without overwhelming them CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: Madison Miranda’s Health Journey: Diving Into Chronic Symptoms & Recovery with Dr. Robert Whitfield The Hidden Trauma Behind Surgery with Dr. Aimie Apigian The Perfect Storm: When Implants Become a Band-Aid for Deeper Wounds with Kristi Sager

  • What a Mother's Loss Taught Her About Taking Her Health Back with Heather Buckley

    What a Mother's Loss Taught Her About Taking Her Health Back with Heather Buckley
    Mar 19 2026
    Heather Buckley never planned on implants. A former gymnast with a naturally lean frame, it was pregnancy and breastfeeding that changed her body and set her on a path she didn't see coming. Years later, a lymph node swelling to golf ball size every single month sent her looking for answers no doctor could give her. It wasn't until a deep personal loss, losing her 13-year-old daughter to cancer, that Heather dove headfirst into everything she could learn about the body, health, and what we actually have control over. Her recovery story is honest, grounded, and full of the kind of practical wisdom that only comes from someone who's lived it. IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Uncover why symptoms like recurring lymph node swelling and brain fog can go dismissed for years and what that tells us about conventional medicine's blind spots Explore how grief can become a powerful force for taking ownership of your own health Discuss what real post-surgical recovery looks like when you actually follow the protocol, including nerve blocks, protein intake, and knowing when NOT to squat Break down why fitness level going into surgery matters, and what patients with complex health histories need to prepare for differently Reveal how the SHARP Method has expanded beyond surgery into a remote wellness program available to anyone ready to do the work CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: How the SHARP Method Transforms Surgical Recovery with Doctor Whitfield Why She Couldn't Remember Her Own Life with Brooke Ochojski The Day I Collapsed | Erika’s Healing Journey from Implant-Related Symptoms 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

  • Why Your Body Keeps the Score (And How to Finally Listen) with Kristi Sager

    Why Your Body Keeps the Score (And How to Finally Listen) with Kristi Sager
    Mar 12 2026
    Kristi Sager thought she was getting her power back when she got breast implants in 2017. Pregnancy had changed her body. Divorce had shaken her identity. And when a breast lump needed removal, she saw the perfect opportunity to "fix" herself outwardly instead of doing the internal work she actually needed. Years later, chronic illness forced her to face a truth most women don't want to hear: your body keeps the score. The implants weren't just sitting there. They were contributing to systemic inflammation that affected everything from her energy to her nervous system. After explant surgery, Kristi developed the BREST method, a framework that goes beyond physical healing to address the conditioning, breathwork, embodiment, and self-sovereignty required for real transformation. This conversation gets into the perfect storm that leads women to implants, the justifications we use to avoid deeper work, and why healing your whole self matters more than any quick fix. If you've ever tried to solve an internal problem with an external solution, this episode will hit different. Connect with Kristi: The BREST Method Be Your BREST Self on Instagram Lifeforce Project IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL: Unpack the "perfect storm" conditions that push women toward breast implants when they're really seeking confidence and identity Explore how we justify cosmetic choices through medical necessity and why that pattern matters for healing Break down the BREST method framework for recovering from breast implant illness on every level Discover why breathwork and nervous system regulation are foundational to post-explant recovery Understand how sharing your story becomes part of the healing process and helps other women find their path CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: How Toxic Load Disrupted Her Hormones at 26 | Dietitian Gina Worful’s Wellness Journey The Day I Collapsed | Erika’s Healing Journey from Implant-Related Symptoms Dr. Meg Mill Reveals Hidden Triggers Behind Chronic Inflammation with Robert Whitfield, MD
