NFX #20: The Unknown Ozone w/ Dr. Frank Shallenberger

Dr. Frank Shallenberger is a anti-aging physician who's an expert on mitochondrial function (the power plants of our cells). In fact, Dr. Shallenberger holds the only patent on a respiratory gas analysis he uses to measure the health of mitochondria in his patients. Dr. Shallenberger founded the American Academy of Ozone Therapy, after discovering its ability to rev up mitochondrial function and aid numerous bodily systems.

In episode 20 of the Roscoe's Wetsuit Podcast, Dr. Shallenberger and I discuss how mitochondrial function testing is a great tool to test whether diet and lifestyle choices are working for people on an individual basis, accounting for differences in our genetics. We discussed the usage of Ozone therapy, simply adding an extra oxygen atom to O2 and then delivering the unstable molecule back into the body, resulting in enhanced immune regulation, better blood flow, and pain relief. In addition, we discussed the promise of newer regenerative therapies and their current legality, including stem cells, platelet rich plasma, and exosomes.
