Doctor’s Take: Should You Get a Full Body MRI?

Kim Kardashian did it, but should you? Let’s talk about full-body MRIs. It's the health trend that everyone's talking about - and celebrities are posting about. So, is a full-body MRI the ultimate health check, or is it just another overhyped medical hack? In today’s video, we break down the pros and cons of full-body MRIs and explain why they might not be the lifesavers you think they are. In fact, we’ll explain why they’re downright dangerous. So…let’s get into it! Thank you to Choosing Wisely Canada (https://choosingwiselycanada.org/) for supporting this video!

And science is the key to understanding and maximizing our health and wellness. Yet new studies are reported in the news every day, and it seems impossible to keep up and figure out what’s important. At the same time, science is too often presented in a traditional style that’s unnecessarily complex and hard to understand. As both a doctor and a scientist, my mission is to find fresh approaches to make science clear, transparent, and easy to understand (=obvious!) – for everyone. In our digital world, The Feed is built to keep people engaged and informed about the latest topics and newest science in health and medicine and to empower them to separate fact from fiction.
