See everything. Miss nothing. No radiation.
A comprehensive full-body MRI scan that screens for over 500 conditions including early-stage cancers, aneurysms, organ abnormalities, and spinal issues — all without a single dose of radiation.
Unlike CT scans or X-rays, MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of every organ, tissue, and structure in your body. This is the gold standard for proactive, whole-body screening.
Companies like Prenuvo have pioneered the consumer full-body MRI movement, making what was once reserved for symptomatic patients available to anyone who wants to catch problems before they become emergencies.
Conventional medicine waits for symptoms. By the time you feel something, disease has often been progressing for years. A full-body MRI is the most comprehensive non-invasive screening available — catching things at Stage 1 instead of Stage 4. Gabriel interprets your MRI findings through a naturopathic lens, connecting structural findings to functional root causes that radiologists don't address.
The scan takes approximately 60 minutes. You'll lie in a modern, open MRI machine (much less claustrophobic than older models). No injections, no radiation, no fasting required. Wear comfortable clothing without metal. Results are typically reviewed by a radiologist within 5–7 business days, with a detailed report and images you can upload to Gabriel.
Conventional practitioners read these results through a disease-focused lens — looking for what's broken. Gabriel reads them through a holistic lens — looking for what's out of balance and how to restore it. We see optimal ranges, not just "normal" ranges. We connect findings across all your diagnostics to reveal patterns that siloed specialists miss.
That depends on your risk tolerance and health goals. Companies like Prenuvo report finding clinically significant findings in roughly 1 in 20 asymptomatic patients, including early-stage cancers and aneurysms. Critics note that incidental findings can lead to unnecessary follow-up. For proactive health optimizers, the peace of mind and early detection potential can be significant.
A full Prenuvo scan typically costs $2,499. Their Enhanced Screening package (which adds body composition analysis and 100+ blood biomarkers) costs more. Prices vary by location. No insurance coverage, though some HSA/FSA plans may reimburse.
Zero. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves, not X-rays. There's no ionizing radiation whatsoever, which is one of the key advantages over CT scans. You can get repeated scans without cumulative radiation risk.
A full Prenuvo scan takes about 60 minutes. You lie still in the MRI tube while it images your brain, spine, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. The machine is noisy (you'll get headphones), and some people find the enclosed space uncomfortable. Light sedation is available if needed.
MRI excels at soft tissue but has limitations. Very small cancers that resemble normal tissue can be missed. It's not great for lung nodules (CT is better), skin conditions, or very small blood vessel abnormalities. It doesn't replace targeted screenings like colonoscopy or mammography.
Most preventive MRI providers recommend a baseline scan followed by annual or biennial follow-ups. If your first scan is clean, every 2-3 years may be sufficient depending on your risk profile. Your radiologist's report will include specific follow-up recommendations.
