TPE Blueprint Ep. 06: From Toxic Exposure to Vibrant Living – Dr. Gertrude Lyons’ TPE Story

Home / The TPE Blueprint Podcasts / TPE Blueprint Ep. 06: From Toxic Exposure to Vibrant Living – Dr. Gertrude Lyons’ TPE Story

Summary:

Dr. Gertrude Lyons sits down with host Joe Fier for a revealing conversation about her lifelong exposure to environmental toxins—growing up along Michigan’s industrial waterways—and how it shaped her path to health advocacy and holistic living. After years of progressive testing and “doing the work” to minimize toxins, Dr. Lyons discovered her toxic load was among the highest measured—even after decades of being health-conscious.

Her search for solutions led her to Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE). In this episode, Dr. Lyons explains the science behind TPE, what the procedure felt like, and the unexpected benefits she noticed: improved energy, sleep, digestion—and even “reverse aging” noticed by others! She also highlights why knowing your data is key, how TPE differs from other detox methods, and why she encourages everyone to get curious, get tested, and take action—especially as toxins accumulate with age.

Growing Up with Toxins – Before Anyone Really Knew

Raised along the St. Clair River in Michigan, Dr. Lyons’ childhood was surrounded by both natural beauty—and nearby coal plants and chemical factories. “We joked about Monsanto and Dow Chemical being right up the river,” she recalls. Years later, stories of cancer among local chefs and her own toxin tests brought home just how much those early exposures can linger and impact health decades later.

The Power of Data: “Seeing My Results Was a Wake-Up Call”

Dr. Lyons has long been proactive about avoiding toxins (EMFs, house water filters, non-toxic products). But it wasn’t until advanced toxin testing with Dr. Savage that she learned just how much her body still carried, from heavy metals to plastics and pesticides. “Mine was really bad,” she shares. “I was in the top five of all his patients tested.”

Why TPE? Taking the Leap from Awareness to Action

When Dr. Savage began offering TPE, Dr. Lyons watched the initial results with curiosity. What convinced her was seeing credible data, patient outcomes, and the empowering simplicity of the procedure: “There’s a machine that removes your plasma, washes it, and puts it back, like an oil change.”

After five TPE sessions, she was shocked by how she felt and looked:
Noticeable increase in “baseline” energy, better sleep, digestion, and resilience
Her physical trainer, friends, and even strangers commented she “looked like she was reverse aging” She avoided seasonal illnesses—even during high-stress periods.

What She Learned – And What She Recommends

Dr. Lyons’ advice to anyone curious about toxins or TPE:

  • Get Curious, Get Tested: Knowing your data helps you make informed, “discerned decisions.”
  • You Don’t Have to Wait for Symptoms: Prevention matters; toxins affect us all, often invisibly.
  • Use Data to Guide Your Next Steps: Whether it’s water filters or TPE, do what works for you.
  • Stay Empowered: “Now that I’ve done TPE, I want to treat my body even better…and live vibrantly for decades to come.”
