Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show!
We're joined by Denny Lindemann from Craft Body Scan to talk about the power of preventive health screenings and how advanced CT scan technology is helping save lives. Denny explains how Craft Body Scan uses non-invasive, high-resolution imaging to detect early-stage cancers, heart disease, and other silent killers—often before any symptoms appear. Unlike traditional tests, these quick, five-minute scans require no needles, no special diets, and no claustrophobic machines. Denny emphasizes the importance of early detection, sharing real-life stories of patients who discovered life-threatening conditions just in time for life-saving intervention. He also highlights an incredible limited-time offer: two scans for just $149, making it an accessible option for couples or loved ones to prioritize their health. His message is clear—don’t wait until something feels wrong. Take control of your health now, not just for yourself, but for those who depend on you. Appointments can be easily scheduled by contacting Craft Body Scan.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
And it's really exciting for me to welcome this next
guest to the program, Denny Lindeman with the great folks
over at Craft body Scan. And I've been so excited
to get a chance to meet with you, to talk
with you, Denny, because I I went and had a
scan done and it was incredible, it was transformative, and
(00:33):
it's uh. It gave me a whole new look at
how you all are able to save lives.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
And I want to welcome you to WBT. It's good
to have you here. This is great to be down here.
I'm excited that this is my first time to be
down at the station personally, to be able to meet.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You and that is that is fantastic. So let's let's uh,
I have a couple of questions for you. Okay, we
get some stuff that we can take a look at,
and it's it's basically this. Uh, let's start with the basics.
What exactly is a body scan? For the uninitiated? What
does that body scan do? Is it scary? Give me
(01:07):
the give me the lowdown on it.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
This is actually a great question. A lot of people
ask us, like a body scan, is that ultrasound? Is
that X ray? What exactly is that? And so for us,
what a body scan is is using the latest technology.
These are CT machines. These are very expensive machines that
can very quickly without any needles, without the claustrophobic tube,
very open space, can take pictures of whatever it is
(01:29):
we're doing a study of to see if you have
a tumor, a lesion, a mess, something that you need
to know about.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Why should somebody go and get a scan like this,
especially if they're feeling fine, If they're feeling good, everything's okay,
give us, give us the thought on that.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, for most listeners, you know, the only time you
go to the doctor is if you're physical or if
you're feeling ill. But you know, when it comes to cancer,
cancer comes in stages one, two, three, four. We all
know that. And the challenge is is if some b
is unlucky and they have cancer, they really want to
find it at stage one. But there are usually no
symptoms at stage one. So most of the patients that
(02:08):
come and see us, what they're doing is getting that
preventive scan hoping everything is okay. But if they did
have a tumor somewhere in the lungs or the body,
that's growing. They want to know about that right away
so they can get that treated. So the outcome is
much better.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And in terms of the technology that's used, right, you're
obviously non invasive, you're not moving into somebody's body. How
much can you actually see inside somebody?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well, I've had a chance to look at so many
of these images. It is absolutely incredible the detail we
can see, soft tissues, bones, anything and everything inside the body.
And it's really a tool that should be used more.
But unfortunately insurance does not cover preventive scans, and so
it's just a choice that people make. Say, it only
takes about five minutes to hop on this machine and afterwards,
(02:57):
board certified radiologists is going to look at those in
and determine if there's a problem.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And that's one of the most important parts, right you
have an expert looking at this, somebody who's who's certified,
and then at that stage of the game, you could
you could obviously meet up with your doctor, get the
results and have that have that looked at.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, that's the that's the whole idea. You come down,
you get the scan, about a week later you're going
to get the report and then you take that report
to your doctor and they'll know what to do to
get you treated if you have a problem.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Is there any sort of a time period where you
should be getting scanned? Are different parts of the body
they need to be scanned more often or not? How
does that work?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, that's that's a great question to get down a lot.
As you get older. Obviously, the risk factors for disease
is like cancer and heart disease go up. But in reality,
what the only downside to doing a scan is usually
the cost. And so the whole idea of doing you
know this, this wonderful price for people to come and
get the scan, is to eliminate that. So now it
just becomes a choice. You know, do you want to
(03:58):
know if you have a problem.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
One of the things. Of course, absolutely, I want to
know what exactly is happening and how that is happening.
At that stage, people talk about the silent killers. What
are the silent killers? Sounds like a rock band from
someplace on the West coast, but what are the silent kills?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well, it's just like you said a few seconds ago,
why go to the doctor if you feel fine, you know,
you know, other than your physical But when you think
of heart disease. Heart disease kills one out of three Americans,
and it's largely because they didn't know they had a problem.
They went and did their physical and everything is still fine,
but they didn't know that they had a blockage in
their heart that was slowly closing up. And so the
whole idea of getting that preventive scan is, you know,
(04:40):
especially the heart portion of the scan is if there
was a blockage, they may have passed their stress test,
they may feel fine, they may even have low cholesterol.
But if they have a blockage, the CT machine's going
to take a picture of that and there's either a
blockage that there isn't and if there is, they can
go get intervention before the heart attack. Because once somebody
has a heart attack, there's damage done. But if you
can go seek intervention and before that happens, you're gonna
(05:02):
be good.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So a lot of people are nervous about coming and
seeing the results all that sort of stuff, right, But
the reality is you are non invasive. I cannot you know.
I think people think about colonoscophies. They feel about this
that the other thing. They don't want to get probed.
They don't want to have to have a special diet.
This is none of that at all.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
This is the easiest doctor's appointment you've ever done in
your whole life. There are no needles. I think a
lot of times people remember if they had to get
an MRI for like a shoulder or a knee or
a hip or something like that. They remember being in
that tube. It was kind of claustrophobic and loud sounds.
This is not that. This is a CT machine. It's
a great big donut. Your feet go in first and
(05:44):
you're literally in there for less than five minutes, so
it's very very quick, and it effectively takes pictures of
your insights.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
One of the things being somebody in radio and knowing
a whole lot of entertainers and radio people, they may
not take very good care of their you know, bodies.
Maybe they've had a rough time back in the back
in the old days, smoking, drinking, party and all that.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Sort of those things.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I understand that, like you can actually see the results
of damage that's been done and damage it maybe has
not been done. To give somebody a good idea.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Well, I mean those are for people out there. If
you drink, you smoke, you don't eat well, you have
a bad diet. I mean, obviously in the back of
your mind you have a little anxiety, you know, have
these things cause damage to my body. But it's not
just people like that. I've had very healthy people, you know.
I had a gentleman come in who is like, well,
I'm just doing this for my wife because she has
heart disease in her family. And he talked about how
(06:40):
he bikes, you know, fifty miles a month and competitive biking.
He ended up having a very high CALSM score, and
two weeks after his exam with US, he ended up
having two stints put in. He had a ninety nine
percent blockage in the window maker.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Wow, that's that's incredible. It's absolutely amazing. One things, back
to Jim Fix, way back in the old days, guy
was running marathons constantly and then suddenly he was dead.
I mean, we don't want to see that happen anybody,
any of our listeners.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
We've all heard those stories. But the whole idea is
it only takes a couple of minutes, and I can't
tell you how good it feels for the people that
get that result. And there's nothing there you know, when
they get those results and they're cousrom score slow, there's
no tumors. Really, they really feel good about their health.
And for those people that do have a finding that
they need to do something, there's a little anxiety there,
(07:28):
But imagine how good they feel knowing that this is
something that they found out. They go to their doctor
and the doctor says something like, hey, good job getting
that scan. We're going to get that fixed. You're gonna
be fine.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Now in terms of the bottom line, because obviously people
are wondering how much does this cost? What is it
relative to another sort of test with a doctor. Can
you break that down a little bit?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Sure? I mean our normal price to get a scans
over one thousand dollars. But you know, our Charlotte Clinic's
been open for a little over a year and we're
still trying to get the word out. You know, who
is body scan? What can we do? And so for
a limited time we've decided to lower the cost to
one hundred and forty nine dollars for two people. Because
the idea behind that is somebody coming in and learning
what we can do and how it works. They're going
(08:13):
to give a testimonial to their friends and family and
really tell people, Hey, you need to get down to
craft and get your scan. So that's the reason why
we're doing this.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I mean that, Look, you can't go out to dinner
for that in Charlotte, not not anymore, not any place great. Right,
So you're saying one hundred and forty nine dollars and
it's a couple's body scan is correct.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So it's like a date. You know, you bring your husband,
bring your wife down, you come and get your scans.
You're going to go in the machine five minutes apart,
and then about five to ten days later you're gonna
get that report and then you can sit down the
couch and look at each other and see who's got
the cleanest heart.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh that's great, you know what. We had our scans,
and I'm telling you that was one of the things
where were like, okay, well we're both pretty good. Those
are great, kind of happy about it. What's the number
one thing that you tell listeners who might still be
on the fence about this.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Don't wait. You know, I hear this all the time.
I don't want to know. Your family wants you to know.
You know, if you're listening to this and you're like,
I'm healthy, I don't want to know. Keep in mind,
you got kids, you got parents, you got family. Those
people want you to know. And so it's not always
about just you. It's the people that need you and
need you in their lives. And so if you've been
listening to this and haven't done it, don't wait. Just
(09:21):
come down, get your skin and just make sure you're okay.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's great, it's wonderful. Finally, how can our listeners schedule
an appointment with you?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (09:30):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
