Jessica Brassington spent fifteen years with prosthetic devices, convincing herself the symptoms weren't severe enough to warrant extraction. Exhaustion, mental cloudiness, and physical swelling became her baseline. Then multiple traumatic events hit, and everything escalated.
In this conversation, Jessica shares how she finally stopped waiting for permission to feel better. Six months after device extraction with Dr. Whitfield, she's not just physically better. She's launched a consulting firm, expanded her child advocacy work, and stepped into the version of herself she couldn't access while her body was fighting constant systemic stress.
If you've ever been told "it's just your endocrine system," or felt like you need to be sicker to deserve medical attention, this episode is for you.
