Toxins, plasma exchange, and the detox conversation nobody's having correctly — Dr. Paul Savage joins the show to break down what's actually driving chronic disease in America.

Paul went from 300-pound ER doctor to building 70 wellness centers, then walked away from all of it in 2022 when he realized toxin levels in his patients had outpaced everything traditional detox tools could handle. He moved his family to Brazil, co-authored Avoiding Toxins: Reducing Your Toxic Exposure, and built MD Lifespan around one core idea: you can't out-supplement a toxic load this heavy — you have to remove it directly.

In this conversation, Freddie and Paul get into:

• The "bathtub theory" — why turning off the spigot matters more than trying to drain faster
• How therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) actually works, step by step
• The four worst toxin categories: plastics, forever chemicals (PFAS), mold, and pesticides/herbicides
• Why symptoms — not toxin panels alone — are the real yardstick
• Neurocognitive and immune biomarkers as the clearest signal that TPE is working
• Peptides, nutrients, and immunoglobulins as part of MD Lifespan's broader protocol
• Why insurance doesn't cover this yet, and what would need to change

Long story long, if you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still can't shake fatigue, brain fog, or inflammation, this episode gives you a framework for asking a different question.

Big love, everybody.
