ANECDOTE

Baseline Scan

  • Dave Asprey's first Prenuvo scan revealed surprising insights about his spine.
  • Having a baseline MRI is crucial for comparison if future health issues arise.
INSIGHT

MRI and EMF

  • MRI uses low-energy radio waves similar to AM radio, not high-frequency waves like cell phones.
  • The specific absorption rate (SAR) of an MRI is less than talking on a cell phone for a couple of hours.
