WHAT IS THERAPEUTIC PLASMA EXCHANGE?

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange, or TPE, is a medical treatment that cleans your blood from the inside (think of it like an oil change for your blood). During a session, a medical-grade machine draws your blood, removes the liquid part, called plasma, and replaces it with clean albumin and fresh fluid. This clears out built-up toxins, inflammatory proteins, and other harmful waste that can slow your body down. Your blood cells are returned to you throughout, and the whole session takes about two to three hours. TPE has been used in medical settings for decades and is now a key tool in longevity and regenerative medicine.

Who is TPE for?

TPE is a great fit if you take your health seriously and want to go beyond the basics. It may be right for you if you:

Want to support healthy aging and a longer, better quality of life
Have high inflammation, elevated lipoprotein(a), or high oxidative stress markers
Are managing an autoimmune or chronic inflammatory condition
Deal with brain fog, memory issues, or trouble focusing
Are recovering from Long COVID, a chronic infection, or a prolonged illness
Have a high toxic or environmental burden
Want to be proactive about your heart and brain health

A consultation with one of our Naturopathic Doctors is required before your first session. This lets us make sure TPE is the right fit and build a plan around your specific needs.

What are the benefits of TPE?

Many patients notice a real shift in how they feel after their first session. TPE is associated with:

Less inflammation throughout the body
Clearer thinking and better focus
Stronger immune function
Healthier cholesterol and cardiovascular markers
Removal of toxins and metabolic waste
Support for cell repair and healthy aging

How many treatments will I need?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The right number of sessions depends on your health goals, where you are starting from, and how your body responds.

Some patients start with a single session to see how they feel. Others begin with a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart as part of a bigger health plan.

Your Naturopathic Doctor will give you a clear recommendation during your consultation and adjust your plan as you go. TPE pairs well with other therapies we offer, like IV therapy, ozone, EBOO, peptide therapy, and BHRT, to build a full protocol designed around you.

Getting started with TPE

Step 1: Schedule a Discovery Call

You will meet with one of our Naturopathic Doctors to go over your health history and goals. We may recommend some baseline lab work to help us build the right plan for you.

Step 2: Your First Treatment

You will relax while the apheresis machine gently removes and replaces your plasma and returns your blood cells to your body. Sessions last about two to three hours.

Step 3: Feel the Difference

Most patients feel great within 24 to 48 hours. Your doctor will go over personalized aftercare with you before you leave.
