Could your breast implants be contributing to your health? To explore this topic I’m joined by Emma Morris whom recently went through explant surgery (implant removal) herself to share on her journey both pre and post surgery as well as the experiences that lead to her making the final decision to have her implants explanted.

Get connected, listen to your body and remember; body confidence all begins with living in tune with your menstrual cycle.
I have had implants now for 8 years and have had Health Issues and ALOT of them for almost 3 years now! I went to a surgeon last year to chat about Explanting and I’ve been researching things for a long time – this may have just convinced me to go ahead! I also had NOTHING after breastfeeding 4 kids so the fear of going back to this is VERY real… but like you said – it doesnt define you!
Thanks so much for sharing Clare!!! Trust yourself and listen to your body. So thrilled you enjoyed this episode. Jem
