Have you ever considered getting a total body scan? Find out why you may want to think twice!
A full body MRI seems like such a good idea. If you can afford it, why wouldn't you want to know if you have cancer? Maybe you can catch it early and save your life? If knowledge is power, why shouldn't you do everything you can to gain as much knowledge about your body as possible?
Well, I wish it were this straight forward and simple, but in the case of total body MRIs, they often cause more harm than good.
Total body screenings have actually been around for a while, but they aren’t evidence backed and I’m not a fan. In fact, I have some pretty strong feelings about them. In this talk, I cover possible benefits and risks. And I share personal stories of people I know who have been harmed by this practice.
