Early Cancer Detection and Life-Saving Results Through Advanced Longevity Screening

David Potenza (00:00) At the end of the day, I attribute them to literally saving my life. I mean, how can you have any more accolades for a company that literally impacted your life and your future with my wife and my kids? So... Again, they were so thorough on how they read my results and got back to me. They helped me navigate trying to find a cancer specialist. I can't say enough nice My name is David Potenza. I live in South Lake, Texas, which is a suburb of Dallas. I am a health care consultant and a health coach. knew about Advanced Body Scan for probably about a year and a half or 2 years and, quite frankly, just kept putting off going because I was in good shape, I exercise all the time, eat well and thought I was perfectly fine. Finally, one day I took the owner up, Steve Marler, who started Advanced Longevity, took him up on an offer. And sure enough, I got scanned and they found cancer in a lymph node. doctors told me that particularly because it was in a lymph node its ability to metastasize can happen almost every 30 days. Thankfully they caught had to go through treatment but that was 10 years ago and I'm alive today because of it. After that scare, I realized that getting routinely checked for things like cancer and heart disease were critical, especially as I got older. But it also made me very aware of other health threats that I have. So I engaged them in their business called Advanced Longevity, which takes a much deeper dive into not just your physical health for heart disease and cancer, does all sorts of diagnostic testing on your metabolic health, and also on your genetic health. The thing that I found is obviously going through a scary time is the compassion of their They have doctors on staff and nurses, and how you're with compassion. You're scared, you know, that they find something. You really want someone that cares about you. And I just love their staff and their approach to it. But everyone all the way down from the radiology tech to they were just absolutely great and gave me a lot of comfort that I was in good hands. Well, the biggest thing I came to realize is the fact that you don't catch a chronic disease, it catches you. And so... At certain age, this is something that really needs to be part of a routine annual checkup, just like you go to your dentist or you're going to go to your eye doctor or if you're a woman, you're going to have a mammogram. It's part of a regular and routine screening that you have to do. Over the last couple of years, we've seen other similar types of companies emerge, but they're really like franchises. Advanced Longevity is privately held. It's a different clinic because not in a waiting room with a bunch of sick people. Most everyone walks in there thinking they're pretty fine. But it's how they handle you afterwards. If they do find something, it's a shock. And just their compassion and how they handle you as a patient is just, I can't say enough nice things. You know, looking back, if I had stayed on the trajectory I was on of believing that I was perfectly healthy and perfectly fine, unfortunately, you know, cancers, for example, they don't really show up until they start later stage and end up impacting, like, an organ or something like that. And then you're trying to chase it and your survival rates go way down. So you just don't know. I mean, even though you feel fine, you really just have to motivate yourself to find out for sure.
