Chrishell Stausehas some choice words for critics of a full-body early detection scan she promoted on Instagram this week.
TheSelling Sunsetstar, 42, initially promoted an MRI screening fromPrenuvoon Thursday, when she posted a video of herself getting her own early detection scan on social media.
In the clip, Stause encouraged her fans to use a promotional code to book their own scan at a discounted rate, and also noted that she hoped for similar early detection methods to be more available to the general public.
“I hope this helps-I truly can’t wait for this to be more readily available because early detection could have given me more time with my family and that’s priceless and should be available to everyone,” she captioned the video.
“Without posts like this, it will not get the funding it needs and support that literally is saving lives,” she wrote of the MRI. “This could have given me more time with my parents if we detected their cancer sooner also another reason I need to be checking myself for early detection.”

Prenuvo’s website notes that the 60-minute whole body scan — which “assesses your head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and legs” — costs $2,499.
After receiving the criticism, Stause shared a strongly worded message on her Instagram Story,
She also clarified that her scan was comped as part of an arrangement with the company in exchange for her promoting their offering: “So I just want to say this because obviously I know I’m sensitive on this topic, but I don’t receive any money for this post. I did not pay for my scan, for full transparency.”
She also went into more detail about how she feels it could’ve helped her family.
“But don’t fight me on advocating for something that could’ve literally made me have my mom around longer,” she said.
