The treatment is popular with celebs like Orlando Bloom
A mum splashes out £2k per session to filter her blood in a bid to maintain her youthful looks, as part of a new wellness trend. Tracy Kiss, 38, undergoes EBOO blood filtration – a process that involves withdrawing blood from the body and passing it through a filtration device to remove toxins.
She describes the procedure as “life-changing” and says it makes her feel “amazing”. Blood treatments like this – and apheresis – which claim to remove heavy metals, harmful chemicals and microplastics from your blood, are becoming trendy among wellness influencers and celebrities like Orlando Bloom.
The online content creator from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, said: “I started EBOO in 2025 and loved how amazing it made me feel. With age, the benefits become greater to tackle lifestyle ailments such as heavy metals, microplastics and inflammation. It has cost £2,000 so far and it’s worth every penny.”
She added: “Biohacking is like being reborn. I renew my cells so I look naturally young. To be honest self love was the key. I don’t want to brag, I just want to be the change I’d like to see.”
Tracey continued: “A lot of beauty is about airbrushing, but I’ve fixed my ageing from the roots, so I just glow naturally. And I’m really strong. I can hike mountains, lift weights, climb trees, and do pullups and flip overs on the side of my house. A lot of my friends my age get told they look about 43, but I get ID’d. It’s very funny.”
Tracy swapped lip fillers and Botox for oxygen chambers and light therapy after “feeling like an 80-year-old” at 25. The single mum-of-two suffers from a condition known as Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which makes her intolerant to several foods and causes severe inflammation. However, since adopting biohacking techniques, she’s often mistaken for her 18-year-old daughter’s sister and is asked for ID when purchasing alcohol.
Her latest anti-ageing strategy involves EBOO – a form of ozone therapy that involves withdrawing blood from the body and passing it through a filtration device to remove toxins. While several UK clinics offer this treatment, critics argue there is limited evidence of its benefits and warn it could risk illness through “oxidative stress”.
Tracy explained: “I live with a genetic condition called hEDS (Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), which causes chronic inflammation, with inflammation leading to cancer. Despite being a vegan bodybuilder, eating clean and healthy and leading an active lifestyle, I recognise that heavy metals and microplastics will have entered my body through food containers, clothing and drinking water and wanted to reset the accumulation to restore my natural immune system to its strongest state.”
Last month, Tracy had her first session at Harley Street Medics in London and has booked two more over the next two months. After the initial three treatments – costing a total of £6,000 – she plans to continue with sessions twice or three times a year.
She added: “It’s very similar to having a vitamin drip, an IV is fitted to each arm allowing the blood to be removed, filtered and returned in a circuit. It’s a simple scratch of the needle to fit the IV, and the treatment itself is pain free. You can listen to relaxing music, take a nap or catch up on your favourite TV series to pass the time.”
She says she recovered smoothly from the first treatment and ignores naysayers of the alternative therapy. She said: “Improving any condition of your health is a bonus. How anybody could criticise that is beyond me. It’s not about being perfect but improving your quality of life, maximising your lifespan and investing in longevity. If it works for others, as well it works for me, then it’s utterly life-changing which no amount of money can equate to the impact made.”
