I first heard about Prenuvo with the rest of the world, during the rounds of celebrity instagram posts promoting it. Celebrity after celebrity started posting their experience with Prenuvo, this new, $2500 comprehensive MRI scan that can tell you in-depth ailments throughout your entire body. It covers multiple organs and promises to detect early signs of serious conditions. The hypochondriac in me was thrilled! Specifically, I remember seeing an instagram post by Prenuvo stating the MRI scan can uncover symptoms of endometriosis in the body. Typically you’d have to have a laparoscopic procedure to diagnose endometriosis. So any procedure that could spot these signs in a non-invasive way was very intriguing to me.
However, the price always felt too large considering my expenses. Though, I always believed the price compared to hospital bills was actually pretty reasonable. After all, you get a head-to-toe detailed analysis and a call from the medical professional to go over findings. Even though I couldn’t justify spending that type of money on myself (just yet), I instantly realized how beneficial it would be for my 69 year old dad who had on and off pain to his calves. I believe this treatment would relieve a little bit of stress I have about my dad’s health. In this blog, I’ll walk you through why I chose this gift, the experience of the treatment, and if it was ultimately worth it.
Why I Chose the Prenuvo Treatment?
As a self-proclaimed hypochondriac, I went through waves of anxiety going through nursing school. I was convinced I had cancer, experienced a heart attack, a deep vein thrombosis, a stroke, etc. But anytime I went to my check ups for my fainting spells or overall weakness, my lab values never reflected anything “abnormal”. However, as we now know, the body is incredibly interconnected so it must be analyzed as such. For example, an infection in the heart may have started in the gums so it’s important to have a whole body assessment for every disease. For these reasons, Prenuvo stands out as an innovative change in the future of western medicine and preventative care. It offers peace of mind, knowing that the recipient’s health is being monitored in a detailed and reliable way. It’s also a non-invasive and radiation-free process accomplished in under an hour!
The Prenuvo Treatment
The preparation for a Prenuvo scan is straightforward.
- I booked the appointment for my dad online (the site times out pretty quickly so make sure to be swift).
- You cannot eat for 4 hours prior to the MRI but black coffee and water are fine.
- Let the company know if you have any metal in your body. My dad had dentures which was fine.
- My dad attempted to fill out the paperwork at home but it was so much we were almost late to our appointment so we finished the rest there. Altogether it took him 45 mins to one hour to complete his medical history so please do so beforehand!
- After completing paperwork they brought us back into a small room where he changed into his scrubs and prepared for his treatment
- They did a scan for metal on him and brought him back to the MRI room.
- During the MRI they offer a Netflix show or music, any source of entertainment as you must be still for 45 mins while in the Prenuvo machine. My dad opted for Nigerian music to play during his procedure!
After The Treatment
After the procedure, my dad changed back into his regular clothes and was ushered to the snacks station! The front desk also explained their referral program: $300 off for anyone who he refers to the treatment and he also gets $200 off his next treatment (not likely to do this again due to his age). We were told it would take about 5-10 days for results to come in so we will wait til then to break down the results about how thorough it is. The detailed report should include images and analyses across different bodily systems, offering insights that can lead to proactive health strategies. That type of clarity is invaluable, especially when considering long-term health planning.
Prenuvo MRI vs Regular MRI
During the scan, the MRI machine captures thousands of images of the body using magnetic resonance imaging, allowing doctors to analyze them for any abnormalities. The technology used in Prenuvo scans is state-of-the-art, providing an unmatched level of detail and precision. By avoiding radiation present in Xrays and CT scan, Prenuvo maintains a high safety profile, which is essential for regular health monitoring.
Compared to regular MRIs, Prenuvo tends to be quicker for the areas being covered. Prenuvo emphasizes high quality imaging and it focuses on preventative detection vs diagnosis of specific conditions.
The procedure’s comprehensive nature means that doctors can identify potential health threats early, which can be crucial in preventing serious diseases. The ability to deliver such insights sets Prenuvo apart from other health monitoring methods.
Final Thoughts on a Unique Treatment
In conclusion, my dad doing a Prenuvo treatment has pushed me to think about the procedure for myself more seriously. It’s marketed for people who want preventative care and people who experience certain symptoms yet they aren’t getting answers. Prenuvo can provide many with peace of mind, knowing that their health is being monitored with a detailed and reliable method. For anyone considering a meaningful and health-conscious gift, a Prenuvo MRI scan could be worth exploring.
