In this conversation, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Paul Savage to explore the hidden roots of chronic inflammation. You’ll hear how toxins are the driving force behind today’s rise in disease and how plasma exchange therapy is offering people a way to lower their toxic load, calm inflammation, and regain vitality.
You’ll find out why the usual detox methods like sauna, fasting, and binders don’t always cut it anymore. Dr. Savage explains how toxins disrupt nutrient absorption, shut down key pathways, and even damage your body’s natural detox systems, making advanced approaches like plasma exchange more necessary than ever.
You’ll also discover how plasma exchange works, why it’s safer and more effective than many other methods, and the kind of real results patients are seeing. From stronger immune systems to clearer thinking and more energy, this episode shows how reducing toxins at the source can change everything.
