ABOUT SYED ASAD, M.D.

In a world where microplastics, PFAS, heavy metals, and other environmental toxins infiltrate our bodies daily, the human brain faces a silent but escalating crisis. Mounting evidence links these toxic exposures to chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and the decline of cognitive function over time. For neurologist Dr. Syed Asad, the fight against this hidden epidemic isn’t theoretical—it’s personal, clinical, and urgent.

Board-certified in Neurology, Brain Injury Medicine, and Nuclear Medicine, Dr. Asad has spent over 25 years at the forefront of neurological care. His career spans elite sports medicine—serving as a neurological consultant to the Jacksonville Jaguars and part of the NFL’s unaffiliated neuro-trauma consultant team—to leading complex brain injury rehabilitation at the Eisenhower Center for veterans and retired athletes. His training at Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Emory University Hospital shaped his precision-driven approach to brain health.

Dr. Asad sees therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE)—MDLifespan’s physician-led PlasmaXchange Protocol—as a pivotal tool in reducing neurological toxin burden. By removing inflammatory proteins, microplastics, and heavy metals from circulation, TPE may help restore the body’s ability to protect and repair the brain. “As a leading neurologist, this MDL Brain Protocol has the potential to be a game changer for patients with cognitive decline,” he says.

MDLifespan’s clinical data is compelling: over 300 successful TPE procedures performed in the past year, with results showing up to 100% decrease in heavy metals, 90% decrease in microplastics, and 80% reduction in chronic inflammation. These measurable improvements align with Dr. Asad’s mission to protect cognitive resilience and slow the impact of the toxin crisis on neurological health.
