ABOUT JOEL KAHN, M.D.

In a world where chronic inflammation and environmental toxins silently erode cardiovascular and immune health, prevention is no longer optional—it’s essential. Microplastics, heavy metals, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals are now documented in human blood, fueling oxidative stress and immune dysregulation. Dr. Joel Kahn has built his career on confronting these modern threats head-on, blending evidence-based cardiology with lifestyle medicine to protect the body’s most vital systems.

Often called “America’s Healthy Heart Doc,” Dr. Kahn is a triple board-certified cardiologist and founder of the Kahn Center for Cardiac Longevity. He has treated thousands of patients for acute heart conditions but is most passionate about preventing the next heart attack before it happens. His advocacy for plant-based nutrition, toxin avoidance, and anti-inflammatory living has made him a sought-after speaker, media contributor, and educator.

Dr. Kahn is also the creator and host of the Heart Doc VIP podcast—recognized among the Best 50 American College of Cardiology Podcasts—where he explores the intersection of cutting-edge cardiac science and holistic wellness. Through his own show and guest appearances on other leading health podcasts, he shares practical, evidence-based strategies for protecting heart and immune health.

Dr. Kahn supports MDLifespan’s Heart and Immunity PlasmaXchange Protocols as proactive, physician-led solutions for removing toxins that threaten both cardiovascular and immune resilience. By filtering microplastics, PFAS, heavy metals, and inflammatory proteins from the bloodstream, therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) may help lower systemic inflammation, enhance immune stability, and improve vascular health. “Maintaining and improving your immune system is one of the best ways to promote your health and your longevity,” he notes.

The MDLifespan difference is measurable: protocols have shown up to 100% decrease in heavy metals, 90% decrease in microplastics, 80% strengthening of the immune system, and 80% reduction in chronic inflammation. For Dr. Kahn, these results align perfectly with his lifelong mission to treat the root causes of disease rather than just manage its symptoms.
