Feeling strong, energized, and disciplined about your health doesn’t always mean you’re in the clear. In this episode, I share a personal wake-up call after reviewing my own total toxic burden lab results—numbers that were far more concerning than I expected despite doing “all the right things.”
It’s a reminder that how you feel on the outside doesn’t always reflect what’s happening internally. You will enjoy this great conversation with Dr Paul Savage from MDLifespan.com and learn about the Total Toxin Test along with the Therapeutic Plasma Exchange protocol.
Why Modern Toxins Fly Under the Radar
From mold and pesticides to plastics and forever chemicals, today’s toxic exposures are everywhere—and many accumulate quietly over time.
This conversation breaks down why even health-conscious people can carry a significant toxic load, how these substances impact inflammation and long-term health, and why standard detox strategies may not always be enough.
A New Way to Think About Detox and Longevity
The episode also explores therapeutic plasma exchange, a science-backed therapy designed to remove toxins directly from the bloodstream.
Rather than quick fixes or surface-level cleanses, this discussion challenges common detox assumptions and opens the door to a deeper understanding of what it really takes to lower toxic burden and protect long-term health.
