Episode notes
How Hyperbaric Therapy Works
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases oxygen circulation and creates oxidative stress that benefits gene expression and stem cell activation.
- Pressure itself improves blood and lymph flow, aiding detoxification and healing at the cellular level.
Prepare for Hyperbaric Therapy
- Optimize antioxidant capacity and metabolic function before starting hyperbaric therapy to avoid feeling worse.
- Wait 3-6 months to improve foundational health if you have chronic illness before using the chamber.
What to Expect in a Chamber
- Expect ear pressure changes similar to airplane flights during hyperbaric sessions.
- Use air breaks to reduce oxygen toxicity risk, especially at higher pressures.
