Did you know stress can directly affect your digestive system?
It’s true — the gut-brain connection means that anxiety, tension, and emotional stress can trigger or worsen symptoms like:

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable — yet still one of the most commonly diagnosed — cancers in the U.S.

If you’re 45 or older, getting a colonoscopy is one of the best steps you can take for your health. Screening helps find and remove precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer.
At Granite Peaks Gastroenterology, our team focuses on making colon cancer screening safe, comfortable, and effective— because prevention is always better than treatment.
