🎙️ Colon Cancer Screenings: What You Need to Know with Dr. Shah
Colon cancer screenings can be life-saving, but there’s often confusion about which test to choose and when to get screened. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shah, a board-certified gastroenterologist in New Jersey, to break down everything you need to know about screening options, risk factors, and what to expect from a colonoscopy.
🩺 What We Cover:
✅ The pros and cons of Cologuard vs. a traditional colonoscopy✅ What to expect before, during, and after a colonoscopy✅ Who is most at risk for colon cancer and when to start screening✅ The role of GI conditions (like IBD, polyps, and family history) in cancer risk✅ How genetics factor into colon health
Whether you’re approaching the *updated* recommended screening age of 45 or just want to be proactive about your health, this episode is packed with expert insights to help you make informed decisions.
