Optimizing Mitochondrial Health and Oxygen Therapies

This chapter explores the role of mitochondrial support compounds and oxygen therapies in improving energy production and addressing chronic health issues. The discussion includes personal experiences with EWOT therapy and biohacking techniques that enhance mitochondrial function, as well as the challenges of portable oxygen delivery systems. The chapter also emphasizes the potential benefits of integrating therapies like ozone and hyperbaric oxygen in personal health protocols, particularly for complex diseases.

Episode notes

Supercharge your mitochondria, slash inflammation, and boost energy with one of the most overlooked hacks in human performance. This episode reveals how just 15 minutes of oxygen-based exercise can radically improve metabolism, brain optimization, and even reverse chronic conditions, without expensive gear or endless protocols.

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.
