Kim Kardashian’s spruiked it, Rita Ora got slammed for it and now Roxy Jacenko has scrapped LA plans to Toorak for the latest celebrity biotech craze.
But just like Tim Gurner’s nearby Saint Haven health spa, it just comes with an eye-watering cost.
What better place to set up the first Australian Prenuvo Scan – a full body MRI cancer and disease screening with an initial cost of $2500 – than in Toorak, with its residents always on search for the eternal elixir of life.
The new luxury status symbol opened its doors on Toorak Rd this month.
Its website spruiks “in just under an hour, this radiation-free scan captures detailed images of up to 33 vital organs, from head to ankle” and is said to check for 500+ conditions such as auto-immune disorders and early stage cancers.
But the jury is still out on the full body MRI scans – that cost in the thousands of dollars – with some medical practitioners dubious about its health warnings about its benefits, at best.
But in Toorak it is no surprise demand is high.
Jacenko, who is currently based in Singapore, is soon to fly to Melbourne to try the new health craze out.
First she is readying herself to send her young entrepreneur daughter Pixie to prestigious international boarding school Aiglon College in Switzerland.
If you thought Melbourne’s private schools came at a cost, tuition and fees at the 75-year-old Swiss secondary school located in the alpine village of Chesieres, costs up $282,000 per year.
Jacenko is never one to hold back, holding a live chat from her Singapore-base – her many Birkin bags on display – well the ones from her collection that aren’t held in a “temperature controlled safe house” to keep them protected from mould.
Not since cooked former cooker Pete Evans “activated almonds” day-on-a-plate confession have people been so gobsmacked. Jacenko revealed she only drinks two piccolo coffees in the morning, than has half a grapefruit for lunch followed by a Greek salad for dinner – every day!
It puts Posh Spice’s grilled fish and steam veggies to shame!
Jacenko revealed she has lost 18 kilos and even her mum says she looks like a “chopstick” and her youngest, son Hunter says she has a bum half the size of his. But Roxy isn’t complaining, the PR dynamo says she is living her best life since “putting down the fork” and getting her new boobs that make her “look like Dolly Parton.”
