Summary

Imagine having a window into your own body — before you’re sick or symptomatic enough to warrant an MRI from your doctor.

Andrew Lacy is the founder and CEO of Prenuvo, a health tech company specializing in proactive whole-body diagnostic imaging. He chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about patient-driven early detection of cancer and other major health issues.

Despite following the best wellness routine, most of us don’t have a black-and-white picture of how our lifestyle will affect our health trajectory over the next 10 or even 20 years.

Uncovering this data could be our catalyst for change.

It may empower us to make more informed decisions to advocate for our long-term wellness. It may change our “I feel good today, so why worry” mindset. And it may even help us catch early signs of cancer at stage 1 instead of suffering the devastating shock at stage 4.

Dr. Gustin and his wife recently went for Prenuvo scans, which you’ll hear about during the episode. He and Andrew also discuss:

The perfect candidates for proactive screens.
The general flow of how the screening process works.
The importance of early detection for everything from cancer and aneurysms to back problems and issues caused by chronic metabolic disorders.
The pros and cons of different imaging processes (CT vs. MRI vs. X-ray).
What can/cannot be detected, and the most commonly detected conditions.
The advantages and challenges of using AI in imaging analysis.
Where insurance companies stand on preventative scans now and in the future.
Using your scan data as a catalyst for taking better care of your health.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Natural State podcast. I'm your host Dr. Anthony Guston. It is my
0:10.4	belief that the natural state of penny living organisms' health and that our artificial
0:14.4	habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to
0:18.7	dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help
0:23.8	you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive
0:27.7	in an environment that's stacked against you. If you enjoyed today's show, you can find
0:31.3	out more details and information at Dr. Anthony Guston.com. Today I welcome Andrew Lacey to
0:37.9	the podcast, who is CEO from NUVO, a company that uses MRI and software to enable early detection
0:46.1	of things that you otherwise would not be able to look for in diagnostics, including small
0:50.4	cancers, vascular issues, as well as neurodegenerative problems. And some of the work that they've
0:56.3	been doing, they got in my radar year or two ago with some of the testimonials that I've seen of
1:01.7	people who are otherwise normally healthy in their 30s, 40s who are just going to get a preventative
1:06.4	scan, try to stay in top of their health for their families and found early cancers that otherwise,
1:12.4	if they would have luck go, they would have not had symptoms until it was too late and operable,
1:18.3	untreatable. And so this is really the magic of NUVO. They can test for hundreds and hundreds of
1:24.6	different conditions, but what I'm most personally curious about is early detection of cancer.
1:30.1	This is one of those big scary things that everybody kind of worries in the back of their mind.
1:34.1	Can I get cancer someday? I mean, everybody knows somebody or knows somebody who has a loved one
1:40.0	who has gone through this and this has been a horrific issue of our modern world and how people
1:44.9	get chronic illness now. So I actually went in, got a scan, and had the the Prenuvo experience. And
1:53.3	so many reasons why I love this. I mean, anything that allows people to get access to their own
1:57.9	health information, I'm a huge fan of. They are beyond professional organization. You go through,
	...
