Surviving Our Toxic Planet: Expert Tips from Dr. Paul Savage on Resiliency Radio

In the latest episode of Resiliency Radio, host Dr. Jill Carnahan welcomes Dr. Paul Savage to discuss one of today’s biggest health challenges: environmental toxins and their impact on our well-being. As toxins saturate our environment, Dr. Jill and Dr. Savage dive deep into how we can identify and manage exposure to these harmful substances while building resiliency and improving overall health.

The Growing Toxic Burden: Understanding the Threat

Dr. Jill and Dr. Savage address the staggering rise in environmental toxins since the 1960s, with over 144,000 unique chemicals now polluting our surroundings. From microplastics to widespread herbicides like glyphosate, these substances oxidize our cells and are linked to chronic health conditions. The doctors emphasize the urgent need for greater awareness, particularly in heavily affected countries like the U.S.

Plasma Exchange: A New Frontier in Toxin Removal

One of the most exciting parts of the episode is Dr. Savage’s pioneering work in plasma exchange, a therapy designed to rejuvenate aging biomarkers and remove excessive metabolic waste. Research from Stanford PhDs and Dr. Dobrik Kiprov underscores its potential for boosting immune function and eliminating toxic burdens. Dr. Savage recounts a case where a patient, after eight plasma exchange sessions, experienced a dramatic 50% increase in awake time, improved energy, and a significant reduction in depression—showcasing the transformative power of this treatment.

The Hidden Dangers: Glyphosate, Heavy Metals, and More

Dr. Jill and Dr. Savage also discuss several toxins with devastating effects on health:

• Glyphosate (Roundup): An oxidizing agent connected to numerous health problems.
• Heavy Metals (Mercury, Lead, Aluminum): Neurotoxins that contribute to neurodegenerative diseases.
• Phthalates (OHP): Chemicals that disrupt DNA, leading to cancer, heart disease, and neurological issues.
• Atrazine: A pesticide linked to endocrine disruption and cancer. Dr. Jill shares a personal story about her breast cancer diagnosis at age 25, attributing it to atrazine exposure on her family’s farm.

Practical Steps to Reduce Toxic Load

Dr. Savage suggests several simple strategies to reduce toxic exposure in daily life, including using triple-filtered reverse osmosis systems for clean drinking water, investing in air filtration systems to minimize airborne toxins, choosing clothing and household materials made from natural fibers like cotton, and focusing on fresh, non-processed foods while cleaning fruits and vegetables with a salt and vinegar solution.

Beyond Toxins: Addressing Heart Disease and Cognitive Decline

Dr. Savage and Dr. Jill move beyond toxin removal, exploring advanced ways to tackle heart disease and cognitive decline without relying on traditional medications. Dr. Savage partners with the company Clearly to use AI and advanced imaging techniques to analyze heart health, focusing on reducing inflammation rather than cholesterol. Early results are promising, showing substantial reductions in environmental toxins and improvements in overall health markers.

The Power of Resiliency in Healthcare

At the core of this episode is the belief in the power of resiliency. Dr. Savage and Dr. Jill advocate for a compassionate, patient-centered approach, where doctors and patients work together as partners. Dr. Savage’s ultimate goal isn’t just about curing patients today but about creating a healthier future for the next generation.

He closes the conversation with a poignant reflection: his mission is about more than just making money—it’s about leaving a lasting impact and creating a healthier world for the future, including his own family. His commitment to holistic well-being and innovative medicine defines his work, and this episode of Resiliency Radio sheds light on how we can all take action to live healthier lives in a toxic world.
