TPE Blueprint Podcast Ep.18: Can We Reverse Cognitive Decline? Dr. Edwin Lee’s Groundbreaking TPE Brain Health Case Studies

Home / The TPE Blueprint Podcasts / TPE Blueprint Podcast Ep.18: Can We Reverse Cognitive Decline? Dr. Edwin Lee’s Groundbreaking TPE Brain Health Case Studies

Is reversing dementia fantasy… or the future? Dr. Edwin Lee, endocrinologist, functional medicine pioneer, and MD Lifespan co-founder, sits down with host Joe Fier to deliver mind-blowing hope for patients struggling with cognitive decline. In this episode, Dr. Lee reveals real patient transformations—including a dramatic reversal of memory loss in a 79-year-old and other remarkable stories.
You’ll discover the cutting-edge science behind Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE), why detoxifying the brain is the overlooked key to cognitive recovery, and innovative regenerative tools (like peptides and exosomes) that supercharge results. Ed Lee shares practical action steps anyone can take right now to tackle environmental toxins, protect their brain, and maintain sharpness for years to come—even if TPE isn’t accessible yet.

If you want to take charge of your cognitive future, this is required listening.

Key Takeaways and Highlights

TPE as a Cognitive Game-Changer
Dr. Lee’s real-life dementia reversal case studies (including his own mother) show TPE can effectively clear toxic buildup, often turning the tide on severe memory loss—even in advanced age.

How Toxins Threaten Brain Health
Microplastics, fat-soluble toxins, and “forever chemicals” accumulate in the brain, accelerating decline. TPE’s unique ability to filter these out is central to patient improvements.

Beyond TPE: Combining Regeneration Tools
Dr. Lee uses a “stack” of therapies—including exosomes, stem cells, and peptides—for patients. Key insight: the right environment (nutrition, sleep, exercise) amplifies all interventions.

Remarkable Patient Outcomes

  • Memory “flicks on” mid-treatment in advanced dementia cases
  • Young patients with brain fog regain sharpness; families notice immediate changes
  • Even one session can lead to lasting cognitive clarity

Practical Toxin Reduction Starts at Home

Tips for anyone:

  • Stop using bottled water (BPA),
  • Avoid Teflon cookware (PFAS),
  • Use air and water filters,
  • Prioritize clean nutrition.

Testing and Tracking Progress
Patient brain function is measured (“CNS Vitals” testing). Objective gains are not just possible—they’re being documented and improved over time!

Realistic Expectations for TPE Access
TPE is currently costly, but Dr. Lee and MD Lifespan’s mission is to make it affordable and available to all as awareness and technology scale up.

The Future: Hope and Proactivity
You don’t have to wait. Improve habits now and stay educated. When TPE is more widely accessible, you’ll be primed for even bigger results.

Bonus: Save Peptides for the Future!
Dr. Lee’s foundation is fighting to keep regenerative peptides available. Join the cause at savepeptides.org
