Overview
- Joe Rogan posted Saturday that he underwent plasmapheresis at Ways2Well and shared a photo holding three bags of yellow plasma he likened to an “oil change.”
- The procedure draws blood, separates the liquid plasma, filters out proteins and other substances, then returns the blood with cleaned or replacement fluid.
- Ways2Well’s Brigham Buhler says they replace plasma with albumin and may add biologic treatments, which are clinic claims rather than findings from independent trials.
- Coverage shows a viral, mixed response that includes ridicule, patient anecdotes about autoimmune benefits, and reports that typical sessions run near $10,000 with pricing varying by clinic.
- Rogan cited friends’ better sleep and recovery, and outlets note tech investor Bryan Johnson tried similar plasma removal last year, underscoring that celebrity interest is outpacing published evidence.
