    Are Colonoscopies Helping Us? How to Make Colon Cancer a Problem You Don’t Have to Have


    www.healthcouragecollective.com

    Are colonoscopies actually helping (women and society)? Colorectal cancer (the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.) is one of the most preventable because it usually develops predictably over about 10 years and colonoscopy can both find and remove polyps in the same visit. She contrasts this with mammograms (episode 258) and explains why colonoscopy payoff is high but not perfect: prep quality and provider skill strongly affect what gets missed, with an adenoma miss rate around 24%. She reviews updated screening guidance to start at 45 (earlier with risk factors), discusses alternative tests like Cologuard and SHIELD, and weighs real risks—prep complications, perforation, bleeding, and sedation—against the dramatic survival difference between localized and metastatic disease.

    What if your body were doing something automatically without any conscious control from you that contributed to fatigue, weight gain, sleeping problems, respiratory problems, mental health struggles, heart disease and poor athletic endurance? Tons of people’s bodies are doing this and they have no idea. They also have no idea that they can change it. For free. And if they do, they’ll age at a more elite level with fewer health conditions.

    Since our body breathes without us having to think about it, it seems like it would do this automatic job correctly and optimally. Unfortunately, since the industrial revolution, we have drifted away from our proper way of eating, moving, sleeping, AND breathing. What? There are simple, easy, and free things we can be doing to improve our body’s ability to more fully oxygenate all of our cells for better longevity, mental health and athletic performance, and it’s not breathing more. It’s breathing less.
