Episode Notes

What happens when the pursuit of beauty quietly turns into a long and confusing health battle?

In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, host Keni Silva sits down with Dr. Kayte Susse to explore the complex and often overlooked realities of women’s health.

After undergoing cosmetic breast implant surgery in her twenties, Dr. Kayte began experiencing a cascade of unexplained symptoms that left her searching for answers. What followed was a years-long journey through chronic illness that ultimately led her to explore integrative medicine, functional health, toxicology, regenerative therapies, and longevity science.

Instead of allowing her experience to define her limitations, Dr. Kayte transformed her struggle into purpose — dedicating her work to helping women understand the deeper connections between toxins, hormones, immune health, and overall well-being.

Together, Keni and Dr. Kayte discuss breast implant illness, silicone exposure, and why women’s health concerns are often dismissed or misunderstood within traditional medical systems. Dr. Kayte also shares the inspiration behind her Silicone Support Formula, developed to support detoxification and recovery for women navigating implant-related health challenges.

The conversation also introduces Biohack Your Beauty, a philosophy that reframes beauty as a reflection of internal health — from cellular function and hormone balance to nervous system regulation and longevity.

This episode is not only about illness — it’s about empowerment, listening to your body, and redefining what it truly means to feel healthy, strong, and whole.
