MDLifespan Plasma Exchange in Sarasota
PlasmaXchange is a next-generation, physician-led detoxification and wellness optimization program based on therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). Unlike standard TPE, which has been used since the 1980s to treat autoimmune disorders, PlasmaXchange is designed specifically to remove the toxins driving chronic disease while also supporting your body’s ability to heal and thrive.
People who undergo PlasmaXchange report improvements such as:
- Reduced brain fog and sharper cognition
- Stronger immune resilience
- Decreased inflammation and joint pain
- Better cardiovascular health
- Improved energy and vitality
- Slowed markers of biological aging
At its core, PlasmaXchange is about giving your body the clean slate it needs to heal, perform, and thrive—now and for years to come.
Why We Need PlasmaXchange Now More Than Ever
We live in a toxic world. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are over 84,000 chemicals approved for use in the U.S., many of which persist in the environment and our bodies. These include:
- Heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium) — linked to cognitive decline, cardiovascular disease, and immune dysfunction.
- PFAS (“forever chemicals”) — associated with hormone disruption, cancer, and thyroid disorders.
- Microplastics — found in human blood and brain tissue, disrupting gut health and fueling systemic inflammation.
- Mycotoxins — toxins from mold that damage the liver, brain, and immune system.
Your body does have natural detox pathways—the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system—but these systems are easily overwhelmed by the sheer volume of modern exposures. PlasmaXchange helps lighten the load by safely and effectively removing toxins that your body struggles to eliminate on its own.
What Our Clients Are Saying
“Dr. Davis is great!
He is interested in solving the root cause of my issues, not just prescribing drugs and sending me on my way.
He always spends over an hour with me going over every aspect of my health.
Such a contrast to my last cardiologist that never spent more than 15 minutes with me, prescribing drugs that negatively affected me, never looking for the cause of my problems, and only doing what the insurance company would pay for.”

“Dr Jordan was amazing, I had a detailed conversation about a variety of issues I have been experiencing. It was so refreshing to have someone want to find the cause vs writing a RX to just mask the symptoms. I am diabetic so I have no unreasonable expectations about being cured. I also was so pleased that after my first visit that I was given alternative options and testing that was never even mentioned in the past. ( some are covered by insurance but not all)
That was also a discussion and no surprises.
If you want a concierge service at an affordable price Dr Jordan is a must.“
Michele Ensminger
“Dr. Cris Davis was previously a top rated cardiovascular surgeon. He now brings that skill base into his current wellness practice which is especially important to me as a patient of his with cardiac disease. His practice is phenomenal and my health has improved significantly! I’ve experienced a tremendous decrease in my weight as well. He’s a genius at this and all I can say is please don’t hesitate to make an investment in yourself towards longevity!”
Frank Griffith Jr.
“I’m an ex pharmacist based in Australia and came across Dr Chris Davis in a magazine publication.I was looking for a cardiologist who could help my dad in London with a more holistic approach to minimise the number of medications but maximise his health through exercise, healthy lifestyle and any preventive actions he could take. My dad also had a lot heavy legs and hip pain. He had been to multiple different hospital appointments in London with no real positive outcomes. He was low on energy and at 77 starting to think he is getting old! Dr Chris made recommendations to my dads general practitioner and offered specific healthcare advice. 3 months later my dad has lots of energy, is walking 10 times the
distance he could walk before and is virtually pain free. Seeing my dad happy and like a little kid again is priceless. Thank you so much.”
Hament Chavda
“In February I decided to seek out a functional doctor for numerous issues I have had, from thyroid issues, to sleep issues, anxiety, HRT, to just name a few. From day one the office staff was super helpful in gathering all of my medical records. My first visit with Dr. Davis lasted close to two hours. He listened, discussed, reviewed and ordered labs to gather details that my previous doctors had not looked at. Upon completion of my labs, we had another two hour visit to complete an action plan/next steps. The changes he made and the supplements he prescribed have already started working and I am feeling so much better. Dr. Davis is caring, thorough, and attentive to my health care needs. The office staff is also outstanding.”
Kelly Dancer
“I believe it’s essential for every patient to have a doctor like Dr. Davis when it comes to their wellness journey- whichever path that may be! He truly is a whole different breed in the best way possible. What he has created and is continuing to expand in his clinic is the future of medicine. His knowledge is unmatchable. He’s driven and motivated to find the root cause, not just suppress your symptoms which is key! I cannot say enough good things about him and his staff! They are always personable and very on top of things. If you’re looking for the gold standard of a doctor, staff, testing, diagnosing, an individualized treatment plan, etc. Look no further, you just found it! I feel blessed to have found a doctor that I truly trust and will continue to be a loyal client of his for many years to come!”

Plasma Exchange FAQs
What Is PlasmaXchange?
PlasmaXchange is a next-generation, physician-led detoxification and wellness optimization program based on therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). Unlike standard TPE, which has been used since the 1980s to treat autoimmune disorders, PlasmaXchange is designed specifically to remove the toxins driving chronic disease while also supporting your body’s ability to heal and thrive.
Think of it like an “oil change” for your body—removing the toxic, inflammatory plasma and replacing it with clean, albumin-rich fluid to give your cells and organs a fresh start.
But PlasmaXchange goes even further than standard TPE. It combines three key elements:
- Removing Toxins: Clearing out harmful chemicals and inflammatory proteins from your bloodstream.
- Regenerating Wellness: Supporting recovery and resilience with regenerative therapies, nutrient IVs, and targeted supplementation.
- Sustaining Health: Providing ongoing maintenance and lifestyle guidance to prevent toxins from building back up.
This comprehensive approach means you don’t just feel better temporarily—you lay the foundation for long-term vitality.
How Does PlasmaXchange Work?
PlasmaXchange starts with advanced diagnostics to assess your toxin burden and track progress. During the protocol:
- Blood is drawn through an IV and passed through a machine that separates plasma from blood cells.
- The toxin-laden plasma is discarded and replaced with a sterile albumin solution.
- The cleansed blood is returned to your body.
The procedure is minimally invasive, lasts about 2–3 hours, and is performed under medical supervision. Patients are continuously monitored for safety and comfort.
What sets PlasmaXchange apart is its integration of:
- Regenerative therapies (like low-dose naltrexone, peptides, and exosomes)
- Immune support (such as immunoglobulins)
- Personalized nutrient protocols
This holistic, personalized care ensures that you not only detox but also restore and sustain your health.
Is PlasmaXchange Safe?
Yes. TPE is a well-established medical procedure with a long track record of safety. At MDLifespan, it is performed by highly trained clinicians using state-of-the-art equipment and closely monitored protocols. Most patients experience little to no downtime.
Some mild side effects—such as temporary low blood pressure or electrolyte shifts—may occur but are rare and manageable.
Who Can Benefit from PlasmaXchange?
This program is ideal for individuals who:
- Struggle with chronic fatigue, brain fog, or inflammation
- Have autoimmune, cardiovascular, or toxin-related illnesses
- Want to be proactive in their longevity and disease prevention
- Are preparing for pregnancy or concerned about long-term exposure
What Makes PlasmaXchange Different?
Unlike generic detox kits or cleanses, this program is:
- Backed by published clinical research
- Physician-developed and physician-led
- Supported by the Morsani College of Medicine at USF
- Performed by highly trained RNs and clinicians
- Personalized to your toxin profile and wellness goals
It’s not a supplement—it’s a comprehensive medical detox protocol for total-body restoration.
