Life Line Screening could save your life

My guest this week is Alicia Botyrius from Lifeline Screening.

This short episode was sparked after a few conversations with people close to me who had relatives who suffered strokes or heart attacks from unidentified vascular anomalies. With companies like Life Line affordable testing is in our hands regardless of what a doctor might think is necessary.

Peace of mind is priceless and the information one gets from these tests can give you that and or, save a life if there is a problem.

Here's what we covered:

1. Understanding Lifeline Screening

• Established in 1993, a leading provider of preventive health screenings in the U.S.
• Importance and legitimacy due to longevity in the industry.

1. Preventive Health Screenings Explained

• Focus on vascular system screening not typically covered by insurance unless symptomatic.
• Early detection for asymptomatic conditions like plaque buildup that can lead to strokes.

1. Importance for All Ages

• Emphasis on why screenings are relevant even if you feel healthy or are younger.

1. Personal Stories & Testimonials

• Real-life examples where screenings detected critical issues leading to timely medical interventions.

1. Available Tests at Lifeline Screening Events:

• Carotid Artery Screening
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Check
• Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Test 
• Six-lead EKG for AFib Detection

1. Convenience and Accessibility:

• Over 15,000 locations across the U.S., making it easy for anyone to access these services.

1. Membership Program – One Life

• Offers additional screenings at discounted rates with automatic annual renewal options.

1. Professional Medical Reports:

• Easy-to-understand reports available online within seven days post-screening.

Once again I encourage listeners to consider proactive measures especially if there are family history related concerns or if parents are aging and you want to have the best tests that their docs might not order.

Look, women are at greater risk of stroke than men and is the third leading cause of death for women. And for many women, stroke is the first sign anything is wrong. With all of the push for unnecessary tests and procedures in western medicine it seems they are missing some vital testing for women. And, arterial health is a way more important marker than cholesterol.
