Your Genetic Roadmap to Healing from Breast Implant Illness, with Kashif Khan
The answers you're looking for could be a DNA test away! I’m talking genetics with Kashif Khan, the founder of The DNA company, who knows a ton about breast implant illness and shares with us:
How your DNA can tell you if you are at higher risk of your body reacting negatively to breast implants.
How genetics can help in managing the symptoms of BII.
How this information help improve or speed up surgery recovery and detoxification.
Other ways genetics can support hormones, skin health, stress and emotional health.
Empowered Explant has partnered with The DNA Company and there are 2 ways you can order tests:
Directly through me at a discounted price, and then work with me through your own healing protocol. There’s the option to add the DNA test when you join my coaching program, which I recommend because it gives you a personalized roadmap.
For details, email me at darnah@empoweredexplant.com
Through the DNA Company website using promo code EMPOWERED for 10% off your test. Links and resources:

The Most Powerful Goodbye Letter You Can Write!
Explanting is kinda like a break up, saying goodbye to a toxic relationship. And with any big hard goodbye, closure is necessary.
It’s my 35th birthday week (woohoo!) and as I spent time reflecting on my journey, it was clear that breaking up with my breast implants was exactly what I needed to become the healthiest I’ve ever been.
In this episode I share with you some birthday girl thoughts, and read to you my goodbye letter to my breast implants, which I wrote the night before my surgery.
This is a practice I totally recommend all breasties do before surgery, or after if you’re already on the lighter side and still have emotional attachments to release.
When you write your letter, drop me an email or DM to let me know how it felt for you! Email directly at darnah@empoweredexplant.com or DM on Instagram @darnahmercieca.
Cheers to healing together, breastie!

Activate Your Body’s Self-Healing Powers - with Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling
This entire episode will blow your mind and you need to listen to it because it’s really difficult for me to distill the details here! But, basically, you are made of quantum energy, we all are – everything is! I interview Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling, the founder of Leela Quantum Tech, who explains how their technology can upgrade and enhance energy and frequency, to improve the body’s ability to heal, detox, reduce inflammation, reduce anxiety, and feel better overall.
Although it looks and sounds like magic, it has been scientifically studied with some remarkable results.
Leela’s quantum energy healing technology can be an incredible aid to your health and well-being both before and after explant surgery!
