Advancing Cancer Prevention: Galleri® and PreNuvo® Whole-Body Screening
At Schoenwalder Health & Wellness, our goal is to detect and address health concerns as early as possible—long before they become chronic or life-threatening. Cancer is no exception. Early detection saves lives, and we’re proud to offer advanced pre-cancer screening options like the Galleri® multi-cancer early detection test and support for PreNuvo® full-body imaging as part of a comprehensive approach to prevention.
The Galleri® Test: A New Era in Cancer Screening
The Galleri® test is a groundbreaking, clinically validated blood test that can screen for a signal of more than 50 types of cancer—most of which are not typically screened for during routine exams. It works by detecting abnormal patterns in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) that may indicate the presence of cancer, even before symptoms appear.
We offer the Galleri® test in our office as a convenient, proactive way to give our patients insight into their overall cancer risk. It requires just one simple blood draw.
Benefits of Galleri®:
- Screens for cancers not typically detected through standard testing
- Can identify cancer signals before symptoms arise
- Indicates the likely location of cancer to guide follow-up
- Complements, not replaces, existing screenings like mammograms or colonoscopies
This tool is especially valuable for individuals with a family history of cancer or those interested in taking a more proactive approach to longevity and disease prevention.
PreNuvo® Whole-Body MRI: Imaging with Insight
While we don’t perform imaging in-house, we routinely refer patients for PreNuvo® whole-body MRI scans, which can detect early-stage cancers and other abnormalities without radiation or contrast dye. This non-invasive scan can uncover:
- Tumors
- Cysts
- Aneurysms
- Organ irregularities
- Neurodegenerative signs
Paired with Galleri® testing, PreNuvo® imaging can help us build a thorough picture of your internal health and uncover silent concerns that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Functional Medicine Meets Early Detection
Our approach at Schoenwalder Health & Wellness integrates early detection with personalized prevention. By combining Galleri® blood testing, targeted referrals like PreNuvo®, and functional evaluations, we can take meaningful steps toward reducing cancer risk and supporting cellular health.
These tools allow us to identify concerns long before symptoms develop—and that means more time to intervene, support healing, and promote optimal wellness.

Galleri is not a diagnostic test, and results may vary. A positive or negative result does not confirm or rule out the presence of cancer. This test is intended as part of a broader health assessment and should always be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider. This post is not intended to diagnose or treat any health conditions.
