Elevating Performance with Oxygen Therapy

This chapter explores the innovative use of a specialized oxygen system tailored to enhance mitochondrial function during exercise. It discusses a 15-minute high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocol utilizing 93% oxygen to maximize physiological benefits. The chapter also highlights the significant improvements in endurance, recovery, and overall cognitive function experienced by individuals, particularly those with chronic health issues.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads and creator of the LEO System, an affordable and science-backed way to do Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) at home. After nearly dying from autoimmune illness and failed functional medicine treatments, Brad used this oxygen-based biohacking tool to fully reboot his health. His story and system offer breakthrough potential for anyone facing fatigue, inflammation, or looking to upgrade energy, resilience, and longevity.

You’ll learn:

• How EWOT works differently from hyperbaric oxygen and why it’s faster

• Why brain fog, poor sleep, and chronic inflammation all trace back to oxygen supply

• How oxygen hacking activates neuroplasticity, detox pathways, and energy production

• When to stack with ketosis, red light, nootropics, and mitochondrial supplements

• How elite athletes and chronically ill patients both use this protocol

• Why “Smarter Not Harder” starts with oxygen-fueled mitochondrial upgrades

This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, functional medicine, brain optimization, metabolism, fasting, supplements, and longevity.
