this is nightline. >> tonight, more than skin deep. >> it reveals so much.

>> those with access to cutting edge technology, like kris jenner paying thousands for full body medical scans. former bachelorette ali fedotowsky and husband kevin manno claim his scan may have saved his life. >> kevin has thyroid cancer and had zero symptoms before we found out. >> people everywhere shelling out big bucks to look within. >> this is where i want to spend my money. >> but are there risks in trying to find out what the future might hold? plus, blake versus justin. >> i want to see you again. >> now you see me. >> blake lively alleging other women on the. it ends with us. said also felt uncomfortable with justin baldoni and they're prepared to testify. >> reputation is fluid. it can change so quickly. >> baldoni denying all claims. his lawyer on the hot mic show slamming ryan reynolds snl joke. >> i'm unaware of anybody, frankly, whose wife has been sexually harassed and has made jokes about that type of situation.

>> and an instagram update on the young seal found wandering the streets of a new england city. how his rescuers say he might have ended up there and might have ended up there and where he's headed next. travelu smell kinda funky. but aluminum-free secret whole body deodorant gives me 72 hour whole body freshness. for long layovers. surprise gate changes. and heavy luggage. and it's totally middle-seat approved. secret. no sweat. a mystery! jessie loves playing detective. but the real mystery was her irritated skin. so we switched to tide free & gentle. it cleans better and doesn't leave behind irritating residues. and it's gentle on her skin. tide free & gentle liquid is epa safer choice certified. it's got to be tide.

for all of the lives that have been saved. >> thank you for joining us. i'm stephanie ramos. tonight in the never ending quest to hack our

health, comes technology, now available to anyone who can afford it, allowing doctors to see every millimeter of the human body. what's ailing us and what we're not even aware of yet. this imaging doesn't come cheap, but fans of the scans say knowing what's under their skin is worth the investment. here's abc's deborah roberts. >> this is such a big scan because it reveals so much. >> from the kardashians matriarch herself. >> i'm just excited to get my results. >> to goop wellness guru gwyneth paltrow posting on instagram. >> we need to nouveau for my full body scan. celebrities with access to the best health tech out there are paying thousands of dollars out of pocket for full body medical scans just for a peek at what's under their skin. former bachelorette ali fedotowsky and husband kevin manno sharing on instagram. >> kevin has thyroid cancer and had zero symptoms before we

found out. the biggest players in elective body scans per nouveau and ezra claiming to help detect disease before symptoms even arise. sharing compelling patient testimonials. >> the feedback from the medical team was, you've caught this so early that your chances of a cure are probably about 80%. >> so for. >> my 50th birthday, my husband was like, do you want to go to paris? and i was like, i want to go to nouveau. >> could they revolutionize the future of health care? >> we're comprehensively looking through every organ of the body to screen for cancer, aneurysms and 500 other conditions that we cover. >> but not everybody is buying into the hype. some of america's most prominent medical institutions are criticizing these popular scans, saying there's no documented evidence body scans are effective in prolonging life and that the risks include mental anguish and high rates of false positives. but with alarming headlines about rising cancer rates, some people are looking beyond the recommended screening tests for

answers. >> this is exactly what we need to be talking about, because the underlying motivation for this i completely understand. people are seeing things that we're not catching in other ways, and they're saying there's got to be a different or better way. but the problem is the science actually hasn't caught up yet with the worry. >> even shrewd entrepreneur damon jones, sharing his experience. >> i already got back all like all these images. health is wealth and i don't have any investment. i don't know anything about the company. >> he's the founder of iconic lifestyle brand bu bu. >> boo boo boo boo boo boo boo. yeah. >> tonight on shark tank. >> and one of the original judges of abc's shark tank. >> i am offering you 200,000 for 20%, and then we'll just get to work. >> eight years ago, this father of three beat thyroid cancer, and since then has become hyper health conscious. >> i started going on this journey for longevity and to

constantly stay on top of my health, the same way i stay on top of my businesses. i keep trying to monitor and do various things. i'm consciously trying to find better ways to biohack my life and my body. all right. >> here goes the machine. >> beyond cancer checkups every six months, the 55 year old now also includes full body magnetic resonance imaging, or mri scans to his annual routine. >> i don't know if cancers anywhere else in my body, this is a second level or a second layer of what i think is insurance. to me. >> that extra layer can be a double edged sword. boom. >> aneurysm. i see something that says here, you know, it may represent a small something. baker's cyst. all i saw in there was aneurysm in my leg. i started freaking. >> out two years ago. his scan came back with the finding of a possible aneurysm. >> i was very scared because i'm not a doctor. i don't know what that means, but it concerned me

enough to make sure i got a check. >> a follow up biopsy revealed it was actually benign, which by all measures is the best outcome. but it's the fear of the unknown that critics of elective scans point to as potentially stress inducing, costly and unnecessary. with follow up testing. >> was it worth getting? absolutely. 120%. i'm going to have a scan every year, because now i even have something to compare it against. >> until recently, mris were only available in medical settings, requiring a referral from a doctor, and were done for specific reasons. mris don't use radiation like ct scans. a serial tech entrepreneur, andrew lacey, is the founder of nuvo. >> we have a health care system that is reactive, that finds disease late. and because it finds it late, it causes a lot of cost to the health care system and worse outcomes to patients. we want to reinvent

the way that we do healthcare. >> nouvel has quickly expanded to 17 clinics and is on track to open 14 more, starting at $999 for a torso scan, up to $4,500 for the whole body. the prices are steep, not covered by insurance, and yet there's an even pricier option at nearly $6,000. ezra, his main competitor, says they're struggling to meet the demand for their high scan. >> mri are wonderful because it allows you to diagnose things with great precision. >> in a collaboration with biohacker brian johnson, the tech millionaire who famously spends $2 million a year on his blueprint quest to extend his longevity. >> people who are like myself, who really enjoy the process of being proactive and measuring things, will find this scan to be very helpful. >> recently released ezra blueprint is an mri and ct scan combo. >> the most important thing for somebody to know is there a code

red happening right now inside their body that they don't know about? >> ezra claims that 6% of their patients have found potential cancer, stating that between two and a half to 5% of their patients have been alerted to a life threatening condition and 49% to something to monitor. >> the reality is, while we might feel comforted that we've had a whole body mri and it was clean or negative, it does not completely say that there's not a cancer in the body. because of the limitations of what it can see. >> there are no current guidelines for interpreting cancer risk for asymptomatic people who elect for the whole body. mri scans. experts acknowledge this is an area that needs future research. >> i used to be a professional dancer. >> i was a rockette for 13 years. that was me. and i now am a director of a small family

based construction company. >> 46 year old danielle patrick is a mom of three living in new jersey. >> i heard about this scan that i could do, and it just became a really important thing for me to get done. i have been a single mom who has been financially 100% responsible for three children. i don't buy myself new clothes and new handbags. but for me, this is where i want to spend my money. >> to go forward, not sideways. >> divorced for ten years and engaged to be married. her motivation is her family. >> so it is the most important thing in my life to be there for my children as long as possible. and in the best case scenario, be there for my kids. kids. >> hi danielle has annual checkups and normal routine mammograms. the gold standard for breast cancer screening. but

she says that's not enough for her own peace of mind. she's aware this type of test doesn't rule out breast cancer, but she wants to know even more about what else there could be lurking. she lost her mom, mary, to breast cancer at age 53. >> she was my best friend. she was my everything. she was amazing. i wish that she had gotten scanned and i do believe she would still be here if. >> she had. >> and i don't. >> want to ever put my children in that position to lose me. >> and she will forever be my driving force. and i know she'd be super proud of me. >> it's the day of her scan. danielle and her fiance, jeff make their way to new york city. >> this is it. thanks, babe. >> the moment she's been waiting

for. >> we are. hi. how are you? >> a quick change, and she's off to the scanner. >> we're going to come to this section over here. okay. before we begin, a couple of safety questions. >> okay. then a little distraction. >> what would you like to watch today or listen to? >> up to you. >> to help her get through the 45 minute head to torso scan. >> let's put on the new squid game. >> the mri taking images often called slices of her main organs, bones, tissues and blood vessels. >> you do a little cutting here. we just leave what's important. >> you did great. >> the test is now over. >> just glad to be out. it was just. yeah. tight in there. it's super loud. >> oh. it's over. >> yeah. >> now, the hardest part. waiting for her results. >> it's been just over a week since i had the scan. it felt like a very long week. everyone knows that i'm getting the results today, so they're also a

little bit nervous. >> hello. >> we're on a zoom with danielle and a member of nuovo's medical group, who explains the results provided by a board certified radiologist. >> i'm doctor vikash modi. i have the privilege of going over your recent mri scan results with you. i'm going to start is just by saying overall. overall, we assess every patient's scan for risk of malignancy for cancer. and your scan registered as low risk for any active malignancy doesn't mean that we're 0%. and it doesn't mean that something can't develop tomorrow. but as of that snapshot of the picture we took, we're in good shape. >> that's amazing. thank you. yeah. my heart rate just completely came down. >> good. >> most of danielle's findings are favorable. >> so your brain is a healthy size and shape. we see no signs of masses, tumors, malignancies of any sort. now, what we did spot was this little thing in the circle we call a nonspecific white matter hyperintensity. and the pattern sort of matches a sort of we don't know, pattern.

okay. which is a little scary for the patient. but for us we know it's low risk. >> doctor modi reminds danielle to follow up with her primary doctor and wraps up with this guidance. >> because this needs to be sort of a roadmap. now for what your next few steps are going to look like. >> it's exceeded all expectations to live in this day and age, and be able to do this for myself and my family. i just feel so, so grateful and so happy. so thank you. >> so thrilled to be a part of it for you. >> she says the results are life changing. >> getting the results of the scan is honestly one of the best moments of my entire life. i've spent the last decade worried that things were wrong, and it's a feeling of just complete and utter relief. better than i could have ever imagined. i feel like a huge weight has been lifted, and those questions that i have always had in my head

since my mom passed away, just completely. they're almost gone. now i just feel like i have control. >> our thanks to deborah. when we come back, a new development in the hollywood battle royale between justin baldoni and blake lively. her new allegations and lively. her new allegations and his my skin was no longer mine. my active psoriatic arthritis joint symptoms held me back. don't let symptoms define you... emerge as you, with clearer skin. with tremfya®, most people saw 100% clear skin... ...that stayed clear, even at 5 years. tremfya® is proven to significantly reduce joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. serious allergic reactions and increased risk of infections may occur. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms or if you need a vaccine. emerge as you with clear skin.
