Episode Synopsis

Dr. James Lewerenz welcomes Bionicc Body Screening’s Ryan Ringold to share the personal story behind their full-body MRI screening mission, inspired by his father’s late-stage cancer diagnosis. They explore how early detection through imaging can uncover life-threatening conditions like cancer, aneurysms, and liver disease before symptoms ever appear.
You’ll learn what full-body MRI can and cannot detect, how it differs from diagnostic scans, and why even healthy, asymptomatic people should consider it. Dr. Lewerenz highlights real patient cases, connects the insights to his structural health pillar, and explains how a screening like this can not only save your life but also protect your lifestyle.
You’ll leave with a sharper lens on your health and a strong case for choosing proactive screening over reactive care.
