Knowledge is Power

I don't know about you, but I believe knowledge is power. So, as I came up on my 50th birthday, I had a big question in my mind: just how healthy am I? Taking on this new chapter in my life, “mid-life” it might sound odd, but I want to know what I'm up for? I wanted to know if I had any cancer in my body. I wanted to know if my hormones, and brain, and blood, and bones - is everything ok?

I decided to go to Turkey, honestly the idea came to me after I saw some 20-something Tik-Tok-er go for a full medical evaluation and selfy all about it. I thought yes, why not?! Knowledge is power! I have a close friend who lived and worked in Istanbul for over a decade, maybe he could help me out? So, the journey was started.

Head’s up - this is a journey. It’s not cheap (nor expensive, relatively). And, they WILL find something wrong - that’s the point, right? So, these trips are built with knowledge and forethought. I spent over a month in Turkey on my own journey, and now I know how you can get the most out of yours, and with the best results.

Not only was this a medical journey, but truly a journey of the spirit too. Istanbul is an incredible city, of over 25 million people, and is a true test for any traveler. You will know what you are made of by the time you return.
