Episode 71: The Hidden Risks of Breast Implants

In this episode, certified physician assistant Danielle Valoras shares her expertise cultivated from over two decades in medicine—and a decade devoted to functional medicine—by diving into an issue affecting millions: breast implants and their true impact on women’s health. Drawing from both scientific research and her firsthand clinical experience working with the breast implant population for the past eight years, Danielle Valoras unpacks the complex history, construction, and ongoing health controversies surrounding these devices. From the origins of breast implants in the late 19th century to modern-day procedures and the growing global health crisis affecting up to 10 million women, Danielle Valoras guides listeners through discoveries about complications, systemic symptoms, and regulatory oversights. She highlights the urgent need for clinicians to recognize and support patients facing breast implant-related illnesses—a topic that’s often misunderstood or overlooked in mainstream medicine. Join us on February 21, 2026, as we explore the structural and immunological mechanisms driving breast implant illness, providing practitioners with evidence-based insights to support the millions of women affected worldwide.
