One moment. That’s all it takes. And your life can be changed forever.
For Dr. Amelia Rodrock – there were several moments that changed her life and redirected her path, bringing her to where she is today; healthy, happy and on a mission to help as many women as she can.
A positive pregnancy test at 19 years of age. This moment changed her life. After struggling with addiction, this gave her purpose. She realized that there was more for her in life than drugs. She was born to be a mother. And when she had her second child a few years later, she wanted more. So took a dive into the Massage Therapy profession. Her passion for helping people helped her to excel in this career until the next life-changing moment.
“You should look into chiropractic school”, someone said. Although doubt was the first thing she felt, a seed had been planted. So Dr. Amelia started to research and look into this new profession, and then decided to take the steps to become a chiropractor. Once again, life took a new direction.
Like many women before her, Dr. Amelia made the decision to get breast implants. Cue the next life-changing moment. Although the change was not immediate, several years after the surgery she started to experience fatigue, weight gain, ringing in her ears, and many other symptoms. But did not attribute it to her implants, but “getting older”, which is what many of us do when changes like these start to happen.
It was not until a friend was going through the process of implant removal that Dr. Amelia decided to take a step back and really evaluate the changes and things that she was experiencing with her own body. It was through this evaluation that she learned the truth about what was happening to her – Breast Implant Illness.
And she knew that something needed to change. So she got them removed and started her journey to recovery. Through this process, she made the decision that she wanted to help others who have been through the same, are about to go through the same, and to help those that are considering breast implant surgery.
This moment, this decision, led her to where she is today.
She is now a passionate advocate for women who are recovering from breast implant illness, with programs in place to help them recover to their fullest potential. She also helps women who are considering implants, to learn to love themselves without potentially harmful surgery.
All it takes is a single moment to change your life. To change the path that you’re on. One moment. And your life can be changed forever.
