Dr. Brandy CummingsDr. Brandy Cummings, DCN, is not your typical nutritionist—she’s a former blackjack dealer who routinely chooses steak over quinoa, roasted veggies over kale chips, and, most importantly, she understands. Her passion for root cause-focused nutrition stems from her own struggles with illness, infertility, and feeling forgotten by conventional medicine. After overcoming severe mold exposure that triggered the loss of her first pregnancy as well as countless other debilitating symptoms, Dr. B explored every corner of improving cellular health; she researched overlooked causes of chronic illness, such as mold, parasites, reactivated viral infections, and a dysregulated nervous system and was alarmed at the lack of continuous care offered by the conventional model. Dr. Cummings holds an impressive list of qualifications, with her Doctorate of Clinical Nutrition from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. She lives in Idaho with her husband and two young daughters and is a proud homeschooler, foodie, and Lego enthusiast. You can find her at www.resilientmotherhood.health.

  • Women who believe their implants are making them sick report a wide range of symptoms including extreme fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headache, brain fog, hair loss, rashes, dry mouth and eyes, depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
    These conditions appear within a few months to several years following surgery and seem to follow a secondary surgery like revision or exchange. However, the exact cause is difficult to pin down because other conditions, like Lyme disease and toxic mold exposure, can cause similar symptoms.
    Using PCR testing (instead of traditional CLIA-based lab testing), Dr. Rob discovered that over 60% of the breast implants he removed all had one thing in common.
    Dr. Robert Whitfield describes his methodology for identifying this complicated, misunderstood condition and shares his treatment strategies utilizing nutrition and genetic testing to put his patients on the path to healing.
