Considering surgery? Here’s how to prepare for surgery and recover faster with less inflammation and better healing. In this video, Dr. Whitfield breaks down the SHARP Method — Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program — a 5-pillar approach to get your body ready before surgery and support healing after. Learn how genetics, environmental exposures, nutrition, gut health, and hormonal balance affect wound healing, swelling, sleep, and energy. You’ll learn:

- The 5 pillars of SHARP and why standard pre-op labs miss so much

- How toxins like PFAS, heavy metals, and mold impact inflammation and detox

- Protein targets for wound healing, including vegan-approved options

- Simple sleep upgrades to lower nighttime cortisol and speed recovery

- What to plan for bowel function, help at home, and supplements before and after surgery

- Advanced recovery tools we use: lymphatic therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and rest-and-digest support

This is for anyone planning cosmetic surgery, breast explant surgery, or any major procedure — and for anyone not healing well after surgery.
