Background and History

MDLifespan was founded by Dr. Paul Savage, who launched the company in 2022. After selling his prior age-management practice and briefly retiring to Brazil, Dr. Savage returned to medicine after a double-blind, placebo-controlled study on therapeutic plasma exchange’s potential to slow aging processes renewed his interest in the field. He built MDLifespan around the idea that health optimization depends less on what is added to the body than on what is removed from it.

The clinic developed the PlasmaXchange protocol — described by the founder as an “oil change for humans” — by reimagining therapeutic plasma exchange, a procedure used in clinical medicine for roughly 50 years, for modern detoxification and wellness use cases. Across 2023 and 2024, MDLifespan reported performing more than 300 TPE procedures combined with proprietary IV nutrient therapy, daily supplement powders, and regenerative therapies. The company is now expanding nationwide through a select network of provider locations, with the Chicago headquarters as its flagship.
