I am dedicating today's entire episode to colonoscopies.
When I had my fifth colonoscopy yesterday, I shared the before-and-after experience online and received a flood of responses. Healthcare professionals thanked me for the transparency, while many followers admitted they were anxious, postponing their own procedures, or worried about the small likelihood of complications.
With my own strong family history of precancerous polyps and years of firsthand experience, I wanted to dive deeper so I can speak from both knowledge and empowerment.
Join me as I unpack the facts to dispel your fears and bring a sense of calm confidence to this potentially life-saving procedure.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
How the rising incidence of colorectal cancer in younger women has led to a need for earlier detection
How colorectal cancer symptoms often get misattributed to stress, perimenopause, hemorrhoids, or other hormonal changes
The risk factors of colonoscopies
Various types of colonoscopy prep
How colonoscopy prep impacts the gut microbiome
How probiotics can help reduce post-colonoscopy GI symptoms
What women need to know about sessile serrated polyps
How perimenopause and menopause alter colorectal cancer risk in women
What major clinical trials reveal about prevention and long-term protection
Some alternatives to traditional colonoscopy
“Screening is preventative, diagnostic, and incredibly powerful.”
