In today's episode, we have a special guest, Bryony, who will be sharing her personal journey and experiences with breast implants. We'll also be joined by Helen, another incredible woman who has been through her own implant-related struggles. During our conversation, Bryony opens up about the various health issues she's faced, from chest pain and heart palpitations to IBS and anxiety. She candidly talks about her decision to get breast implants and the marketing promises of natural, long-lasting results with low-risk complications. However, she soon realized that these claims fell short. As we delve into her story, Bryony discusses the pain she endured after her surgery and her subsequent attempts to manage it without relying heavily on medication. She shares her experience of using CBD for pain relief and the improvement she felt in her breathing, although headaches persisted. Bryony's symptoms extend beyond her breasts, encompassing brain fog, joint pain, hair loss, and allergic reactions. She describes the frustration and feeling of slowly deteriorating, longing for answers and relief. Throughout this episode, we discover the complex and multi-faceted nature of breast implant-related issues. We also explore Bryony's gratitude for the courageous women who have shared their stories and the compassionate surgeons who have contributed their expertise. In addition, we'll be taking a break for the summer, but don't worry, we'll be back with more inspiring episodes soon. The Heal is Real is a Listening Dog Media production.
