Stitch with Gina Maccarone I do lots of education on this page about how to check credentials, but I have never encountered someone calling themselves a specialty they did not train in or take boards for.

Because it would leach microplastics out of the water bottle, into your system when you drank the fluids. Similarly, when you’ve been in a sauna—ones that really go high in temperature up to like 200, 220, they will leach chemicals out of the shell into your system. I’ve seen this in my patients, so I want you to be careful.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD (@breastimplantillnessexpert)
