LeAnn Rimes is continuing to be candid about her health and healing journey, this time sharing details about a costly wellness treatment she says was part of listening to her body after an especially intense year. The country singer took to Instagram earlier this month to document undergoing a therapeutic plasma exchange in Nashville, a procedure that costs around $10,000 and is designed to remove toxins and inflammatory substances from the blood.
In the video, Rimes explained that the treatment came after a stretch of nonstop filming and touring, noting that she asks a lot of her body and wanted to support a season of recovery. She described the procedure as her second round of plasma exchange therapy and said she also added stem cells this time to encourage overall repair. Rimes compared the experience to an “oil change for your body,” offering followers a behind-the-scenes look at the process as she sat hooked up to two IVs at a Next Health facility and later held up a bag of yellow fluid removed during the exchange.
According to Rimes, the goal of the treatment is to help clear micro-toxins such as mold and microplastics, while replacing the plasma with albumin to replenish the body. While the price tag quickly caught attention, the singer made a point to address that head-on in her caption, acknowledging that access to treatments like this is not universal. She emphasized that she was not offering medical advice or prescriptions, but simply sharing what has personally worked for her as part of an ongoing conversation around healing, per her Instagram post.
Why Rimes Chose to Share the Experience
Rimes explained that she has long been passionate about health and transparency, and that sharing moments like this often sparks thoughtful questions and discussion. Her intention, she said, was to inform and continue an open dialogue about what healing can look like, especially for someone balancing a demanding career. She added that she approached the post with humility and sensitivity, aware that not everyone has the same options when it comes to wellness care.
The singer also expressed gratitude to the medical team who guided her through the process, writing that healing feels safer when supported by trusted professionals. The tone of the post struck a balance between curiosity and caution, making it clear that she views the treatment as one piece of her personal wellness puzzle rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, according to her Instagram caption.
Following a Viral Onstage Health Scare
The update arrives months after Rimes went viral for an entirely different health-related moment. In June, she revealed that her dental bridge fell out mid-performance while she was singing “One Way Ticket” during a concert at The Skagit Casino Resort in Washington. Rather than stopping the show, Rimes briefly ran offstage to fix the issue and returned to finish the set, later joking about the incident and calling it an unforgettable first.
At the time, Rimes used humor and honesty to address the mishap, reminding fans that sometimes the only option is to keep going. That same mindset appears to carry through in her latest wellness update, as she continues to prioritize caring for her body while remaining open about the realities of life on and off the stage.
As Rimes put it in her post, she is focused on choosing what feels supportive right now and taking the best care of herself she possibly can.
