  • Episode 125: Dr. Daniel Pompa on Biotoxins, Detox Strategies, and Finding BII Relief with Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD
    Jul 17 2025
    Many people struggling with chronic illness, fatigue, brain fog, or unexplained symptoms never find real answers because they’re not addressing the root cause: cellular toxicity. In this episode, Dr. Robert Whitfield sits down with Dr. Daniel Pompa, a leading voice in cellular detox and functional medicine, to explore why so many people stay sick despite trying countless protocols. They break down how inflammation, toxic overload, and chemical exposure disrupt your body at the cellular level and what it actually takes to start healing. Whether you’re dealing with hormonal imbalances, autoimmune symptoms, or post-explant recovery, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in root-cause healing and natural detox strategies that work. 👉 Learn more about Dr. Pompa’s protocols and philosophy at: https://drpompa.com (https://drpompa.com) Show Highlights: Rising Awareness and FDA Testimony (00:06:10) Dr. Robert discusses testifying before the FDA and the industry's lack of transparency about how many implants are sold and who is qualified to place them. Symptoms, Autoimmunity & The Hidden Impact (00:8:00) Many women present with chronic fatigue, brain fog, and autoimmune symptoms—often misdiagnosed—when bacterial contamination from implants is the real issue. The Problem with Traditional Lab Testing (00:10:22) Dr. Robert explains how traditional swab cultures miss low-level infections and why PCR testing is crucial for accurate diagnoses during explant surgery. Biofilm and Immune Dysregulation (00:18:00) The doctors break down how biofilms from staph and cutibacterium trigger macrophage changes and long-term immune system dysregulation. Detoxing After Explant (00:25:20) Dr. Pompa explains that true recovery after explant requires deep detox at the cellular level, especially for those with toxin overload or genetic detox challenges. Hormone Resistance and Neurological Symptoms (00:33:00) Heavy metals and biotoxins disrupt hormone signaling, thyroid function, and the brain’s control center, contributing to long-term dysfunction. The Problem with Food and Seed Oils (00:45:10) The doctors discuss how processed foods, seed oils, and glyphosate exposure create widespread cellular inflammation and contribute to chronic illness. The Truth About Detox: It Takes Time (01:00:30) The doctors wrap by emphasizing that detox is not a 10-day cleanse—true healing can take years, and begins by fixing the cell to get well.

  • Episode 123: A Breast Explant Journey: From Sickness to Restored Health with Candice Barley
    Jul 3 2025
    Not every breast explant journey looks the same, but when you hear these stories over and over again, the similarities are remarkable. Today, Candice Barley shares her breast implant illness journey with Dr. Rob. Candice's story is one of hope and ultimately a return to health. If you are struggling with Breast Implant Illness, there is hope for you as well. In our previous episodes, we’ve talked about how inflammation worsens the illness. That’s why we have to figure out whether or not there’s inflammation in the breast implants. So what we do is we work up all the factors that contribute to inflammation by testing through our Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program (HARP) to really prepare the patients and optimize them for surgery.
