Many times, colorectal cancer risk and gut health issues aren't obvious and require a closer look at what's happening inside the body.

On today's episode, I break down colonoscopies, one of the most effective preventive tools for detecting and removing polyps before they can turn cancerous.

While many assume screenings are only necessary later in life, colon issues can start much earlier, and early detection can prevent serious complications.

We also compare colonoscopy to full-body MRI, review the prep, sedation, and potential side effects, and discuss how screening frequency should be tailored based on age, family history, and personal risk.

Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3695 as I explain how a colonoscopy works, what it can detect, and how to make an informed decision about whether it's right for you this year.
