  • What would you give to add 10, 20, maybe even 30 healthy years to your lifespan? Who wouldn’t want that? The latest scientific research from labs at places like Harvard and Stanford shows we can slow our aging process and even reverse our biological ages. In doing that, we slow the onset of age-related conditions that we’ve seen in our parents and our grandparents like Alzheimer’s, heart issues, and cancer.

    Transcript with time code: https://cuttingedgehealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dr.-Paul-Savage-Unveils-Pioneering-Plasma-Exchange-Protocol_-Reverses-Toxins-Inflammation.pdf

    In this insightful discussion, uncover the impact of rising toxin levels over the past 40-50 years with Paul Savage, MD. He believes most heavy metals and pesticides we encounter today didn’t even exist a few decades ago. Shockingly, 75% of them may be lurking in your own home.

    As a renowned expert in functional medicine, Dr. Savage delves into the challenges our bodies face in eliminating them and the role of therapeutic plasma exchange in supporting detoxification. He is offering a free guide book (https://info.mdlifespan.com/cuttingedgehealth) filled with details on toxins, potential health conditions related to them and available methods for their removal.

    At 37 years old, Dr. Paul Savage was a successful ER/trauma physician. But he was unhealthy, weighed 270 pounds, smoked cigarettes, was tired, anxious, and unwell, and had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, and stress.

    Rejecting the conventional approach of more medications, his curiosity and determination led him to explore various treatments and lifestyle changes, transforming his life and career through precision medicine.

    Twenty-five years later, he’s an advocate for combining traditional and integrative medicine, focusing on an evidence-based approach that treats patients as partners. Dr. Savage embraces a continuous pursuit of knowledge and integration of the latest medical advancements into his practice, with several board certifications, including certifications from the Stem Cell Fellowship, Integrative Metabolic Medicine, and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Not to mention, he built over 50 clinics across the United States and literally wrote the code for the industry standard software that has helped millions of patients.

    Dr. Savage is the founder and current CEO of MDLifespan in Chicago. His latest endeavor of the patented PlasmaXchangeTM protocol is the culmination of years of expertise — it's poised to be the defining moment of his career, a transformative movement that will reshape the future of medicine as we know it.

  • Dr. Jeffery Galvin - Muscle Loss and Cognitive Decline: Why Weight Loss Drugs Could Be Riskier Than You Think
    Sep 11 2024

    Transcript with time code: https://cuttingedgehealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Transcript-41-Dr.-Jeffrey-Galvin.pdf

    Over the past few years, we've gotten several effective and massively popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wagovi and Mounjaro. Such drugs cause loss of both fat and muscle. The first is good. The second is not. In this episode of the Cutting Edge Health podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Galvin returns to explain the critical connection between muscle mass and cognitive health, emphasizing that reduced muscle mass increases the risk of cognitive decline, falls, and overall mortality, particularly in older adults.

    He shares insights from his practice, where patients often struggle to regain muscle, especially women over 50. The episode delves into the importance of strength training, adequate protein intake, and personalized health monitoring to combat muscle loss and maintain long-term health and cognitive function. Dr. Galvin also touches on emerging therapies that could address these issues in the future including a number of clinical trials that are underway to test pharmaceuticals to preserve muscle mass that follows obesity treatments.

    Previously, muscle loss was thought to be an issue that doesn't respond to drugs. And yet we now have several promising phase-1 and phase-2 studies for drugs that not only preserve muscle but also improve fat loss — since more muscle makes it easier to lose fat.

He is an expert biohacker experienced in nootropic use, peptide therapies, heart rate variability training, and sleep hacking. His goal is maximizing human performance, reversing chronic disease and optimizing overall health.

    Dr. Galvin founded Vitality Medical Wellness Institute in 2010. It was born out of frustration with modern medicine’s focus on treating symptoms of illness, not the underlying causes. The Institute seeks to change the paradigm by which the medical establishment trains doctors to treat chronic medical problems with medication while ignoring the root origins of disease. Dr. Galvin believes that by focusing on nutrition, fitness, hormonal optimization, and permanent lifestyle changes, health can be optimized. By utilizing this approach his patients are able to reverse chronic medical conditions, lose weight and maximize performance. At the same time risk of future disease is minimized.
