#156 Can You Scan Yourself Into Better Health?

  This week, I'm diving into one of the biggest conversations happening in the wellness world after listening to Dr. Andrew Huberman's discussion on full-body MRIs and preventative imaging. But instead of asking whether you should get one, I want to ask a different question...

What does prevention really mean?

We're living in a time where we have access to more health information than ever before. From wearable technology and continuous glucose monitors to genetic testing and full-body MRI scans, data is everywhere. But does having more information automatically make us healthier?

In this episode, I explore both sides of the conversation—the incredible promise of early detection and the emotional weight that can come from knowing too much. We discuss how preventative imaging may benefit some people while also asking an important question:

Does the information change your health...or just your anxiety?

I also share my own Prevention Pyramid—the habits I believe give you the greatest return on your health investment before spending thousands of dollars on advanced testing.

We'll discuss:

✨ What a full-body MRI actually looks for

✨ The pros and cons of preventative imaging

✨ Incidental findings and why they matter

✨ Why habits still outperform health "hacks"

✨ Where I'd spend my health dollars first

✨ Why sleep, walking, strength training, and nutrition remain the foundation of long-term wellness

✨ How to avoid confusing prevention with control

If you've ever wondered whether the latest health trend is worth it, this episode is for you.

Today's Messy Moment:

"Am I investing more energy into searching for disease...or building health?"

Because those are not always the same thing.

As always...

Keep it messy. 💙
