It's April 30th, so you know what that means... 🎤IT'S GONNA BE...🎶

If you started singing a boy band song from the 90's, then it might be time to schedule your colonoscopy. Too many people think "I'm not old enough," "I'm too busy," and "It won't get me, nobody in my family had it."

The reality is that people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are being diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer at alarming rates. If you are 45, then, you should have had at least 1 colonoscopy to check for and remove polyps. If you have risk factors such as a family history, a poor diet, or alarming symptoms, you should be seen sooner.

Text us at (517) 742-2831 or call us at (517) 332-1200 and make your appointment.

Dr. DiMagno recently wrote an article for McLaren Greater Lansing on the role fiber plays in your digestive health. We would love to answer your questions on gut health.

“Multiple studies demonstrate the benefits of fiber for your gut health because it promotes healthy bacteria and directly affects intestinal function. These combined effects improve metabolic health and the immune system, and reduce the risk of GI disorders,” said Dr. DiMagno.

Your digestive system does more than just break down your lunch. It’s an essential part of your body that affects your immune system, your energy, and overall, how you feel. When your digestive health is sluggish or imbalanced, it not only can cause physical discomfort – such as bloating, consti...

🎭 April Fools? Not This Time. 🎭
We love a good laugh, but when it comes to colorectal cancer, there’s nothing funny about it. Early detection saves lives, and a colonoscopy is one of the best tools we have to catch it early.

Sure, the prep isn’t glamorous, but neither is ignoring your health. Let’s break the stigma—getting screened is a power move, not a punchline.

This April Fools, let’s turn the joke on cancer. Schedule your colonoscopy today. Because colorectal cancer is no joke.
