MEND Thermography

MEND Thermography is a service provided by Mend Integrative Wellness. MEND Thermography is located in the Des Moines, IA metro area. What is thermography?

Our mission is to empower you to get answers and get on the mend. We provide a range of services to help you better understand what’s going on within your body, including: thermography scans, individualized education regarding your scan, disease-prevention education and techniques, natural health consultations, and more. Let us help you explore and restore your health! Thermography is a radiation-

free, easy, safe, and non-invasive way to detect, evaluate, and monitor a large number of injuries and conditions. Thermography is said to “fill the gap in clinical diagnosis” by allowing us to look at the body’s physiology and metabolic processes. This is unlike traditional medical tests (such as X-rays, CTs, Ultrasounds, and MRIs) that look at the body’s structure. Thermography’s unique capabilities can offer significant financial savings by avoiding the need for more expensive investigations. Thermography is also used as a tool for disease prevention. Many times, thermography can reveal problems before symptoms begin to arise. This allows for the earliest possible treatment, overall improving patient outcomes.

While it simply isn't possible to be 100% certain even the healthiest person won't develop breast cancer, studies have shown that only 15% of breast cancer is hereditary. This means that up to 85% of breast cancers are environmental--related to the chemicals, foods, and toxins we are exposed to daily!

Take prevention seriously! Your future health, time, and money depends on it! Did you know that women age 30 or over should be getting thermograms every year?! Get in, get checked, and PREVENT!

🌀 Feeling sluggish or puffy? Your lymphatic system might need a little love! Unlike your heart, your lymph system doesn’t have a pump—it relies on YOU to get things flowing. Here are some simple, natural ways to boost lymphatic drainage and feel more energized:

💃 Move Your Body – Walking, weightlifting, dancing, or rebounding (mini trampoline!) all help pump lymph fluid through your body.

🧖‍♀️ Dry Brushing – Gently brush your skin in upward strokes toward your heart before showering to stimulate lymph flow.

🚿 Contrast Showers – Alternate hot and cold water to wake up your circulation and lymphatic system.

💆‍♂️ Lymphatic Massage – Light, rhythmic massage can help move stagnant lymph and reduce swelling.

💧 Hydrate Like a Boss – Your lymph is mostly water. Drink plenty to keep it flowing smoothly.

🌿 Deep Breathing – Slow, diaphragmatic breathing acts like a pump for your lymphatic system. Inhale calm, exhale stagnation.

✨ Your lymph system is your body’s natural detox squad—keep it moving and it’ll return the favor!

🌡️✨ See what your body’s saying—before symptoms even start.

Thermography is a powerful, non-invasive tool that uses infrared imaging to detect subtle changes in heat and blood flow. That means it can help spot inflammation, vascular issues, and early signs of imbalance—before they become bigger problems. 🔍🔥

Why wait for a diagnosis when you can take charge now? ✅ Radiation-free ✅ Pain-free ✅ Insightful for breast health, thyroid, dental, and more

Be proactive. Be informed. Be empowered. 💫

SCIENCE LESSON!
There are TWO things that make up our physical bodies: anatomy and physiology. While these two work together, they are very different from each other! If you aren't getting answers from traditional medical testing, definitely read this!

Anatomy is the study of the body's structure. Anatomical medical tests look for structural issues, for example: broken bones, tumors, kidney stones, torn ligaments, abscesses, and more.

If you've had anatomical tests and still don't have any answers, you NEED to look at the other half of the story: physiology!

Physiology is the study of the body's function. In other words, how is your anatomy functioning? There are only two medical imaging tests that evaluate physiology: thermography and PET scans. In a PET scan, a radioactive tracer is injected into your body to view how your body is functioning.

"Wearing a bra does more harm than good – it does nothing to reduce back pain and weakens the muscles that hold up the breasts, resulting in greater breast sagging, Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sports science expert from the University of Besançon, France, reported after a 15-year study.

Rouillon says that the main conclusion from the preliminary results of his “marathon experiment” is that the bra is a false necessity."
