Using Technology to Detect Disease Early and Help You Live a Longer, Healthier Life

Bellaire – One of the best things you can do for yourself and your loved ones is take a proactive stance with your health.

Even if you feel okay, it is worth taking a closer look at what is going on inside your body and while this may sound very ‘future science,’ there is actually technology that can help you do this and it is completely pain free.

Houston Life’s Melanie Camp went to Advanced Body Scan in Bellaire to chat with company founder, Steve Marler, to find out more. Marler started Advanced Body Scan over 12 years ago now, and it never ceases to amaze him what people find when they get their body scanned.

“You know, I’m amazed every day frankly, the findings we see in what are seemingly perfectly healthy people. And one thing I’ve learned about these deadly diseases is they don’t care what level your socioeconomic position is, from the poorest to the richest, we have findings that most people have no idea they had, and they are deadly diseases inside their body.”

Many deadly diseases start doing harm before you even begin to feel the symptoms.

“You know, the body is an amazing machine,” said Marler explaining that as your body fights disease, at the early stages, “it compensates, trying to, with your immune system to beat these diseases. But sometimes they’re in our body for months, and maybe even years before, the body can’t compensate any longer and starts showing us symptoms. And even then we don’t always equate that symptom with a deadly disease. That’s why it’s important to get this physical scan because we can see disease in early stages...it’s a fact early detection, better outcomes.”

This was Rick who came to Advanced Body Scan, he ate healthy, didn’t smoke, and generally lived a healthy life.

“My blood work was great. So I didn’t think I needed it,” he said of the body scan. “But I figured, hey, I’m in my 50s. And it might be a good idea,” A couple of weeks later, the radiologist looking at the scan saw a problem and gave Rick a call and said according to Rick, “...you got two issues you need to get checked out. One is you got a nodule in your thyroid, and you have a nodule on your lung.” The nodule on Rick’s thyroid was cancer and the nodule in the lung was suspicious but because the scan detected both issues early enough, Rick had time to do something about it, “I would encourage everybody to consider a body scan because again, it saved my life,” he said.

It’s amazing to hear Rick’s story and to know that, you know, he was a very healthy

In addition to the body scans, you can now also get blood testing to help you understand your health at a metabolic level. Executive Blood Panel is something Advanced Body Scan is beginning to offer.

“There’s been amazing advancements in blood testing technology, especially in the cancer world. And these tests have been, they’ve been working on these for a decade. When they first come out, they were 10s of 1000s of dollars for one test. Now they’ve come to market, the price has come way down. They’re still about $1,000. But they can show these cancers at a metabolic level. So you can see them at the earliest stage,” explained Marler.

The blood panel and body scan offer the latest in medical technology and deliver a great one-two punch when it comes to taking charge of your health.
