Got Implants? What a Plastic Surgeon Wants You to Know Before Menopause - Dr. Shaher Khan
09/10/2026 | 56 mins.Have you heard of breast implant illness? Do you think that maybe that feeling like you're exhausted no matter how much you sleep, weight gain and achy joints may not be menopause, but the implants you just got or got even 30 years ago?
We cover:
Why breast implant illness and menopause can look almost identical, and the clues that point one way or the other
What the FDA warning actually says, and why most women never heard it before surgery
The one timeline almost nobody is told about when they get implants
What "silent rupture" means and how you'd actually find out
The questions to ask before choosing an explant surgeon, so you only have to do it once
Dr. Shaher W. Khan, MD, is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon known for his patient-centered approach and his commitment to education. After his General Surgery residency, he completed three more years of fellowship training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Detroit Medical Center. In 2014 he founded his private practice, which now includes Landmark Surgery Center, a QUAD A-accredited surgical facility with locations in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and Northridge, California. Today his work focuses on explant surgery and breast implant illness, and he runs one of the largest online support communities for women going through it.

05/10/2026 | 1h 6 mins.Do you feel like after you exercise or get sick, you just don't bounce back the way you used to? Or maybe you've been told to "boost" your immune system, but no one's ever really explained what that actually means or whether it's even the right goal.
We cover:
Why "boosting" your immune system is the wrong goal, and what we want instead
What happens to the immune system as estrogen drops, and why autoimmunity hits women so much harder in midlife
The surprising link between the gut, bones, and immune system that most people completely miss
What "cellular capacity" really means, and simple at-home ways to check if yours is slipping, no fancy clinic required
Why your relationships might matter more for your health at 80 than anything on your dinner plate

Why you're suddenly reacting to "healthy" foods you've eaten forever, and why it's usually not a new allergy
The hormone that acts like your body's natural antihistamine
The "histamine bucket" idea that explains why the same food triggers you one day and not the next
The real difference between histamine intolerance and MCAS
The root cause approach that calms the whole system down instead of just chasing one symptom at a time
