Introduction to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
00:00:00
Speaker
Happy Monday, and I'm here at the Thirst Trap, Under Pressure Hyperbarics with Nicole Garrett, the founder and CEO.
00:00:09
Speaker
And today, today, you gotta listen.
00:00:11
Speaker
We're gonna be talking about the cheat codes to recovery.
00:00:15
Speaker
So Nicole, how you doing today?
00:00:16
Speaker
I'm doing well.
00:00:17
Speaker
How are you?
00:00:18
Speaker
I'm phenomenal.
00:00:18
Speaker
It's Monday.
00:00:19
Speaker
It's a new week.
00:00:21
Speaker
It's October.
00:00:23
Speaker
So tell us more about, you know, underpressures.
00:00:26
Speaker
Is it hyperbarics or hyperbarics?
00:00:28
Speaker
Hyperbarics.
00:00:28
Speaker
Hyperbarics.
00:00:29
Speaker
Hyperbarics.
00:00:30
Speaker
Hyper means increased.
00:00:31
Speaker
Okay.
00:00:32
Speaker
And then barrics is pressure.
00:00:34
Speaker
So we increase pressure.
00:00:35
Speaker
Increased pressure to?
00:00:37
Speaker
So if I, when you think about hyperbaric oxygen, if I were to just put you on oxygen right now, not going to do a whole lot for you.
00:00:44
Speaker
You're otherwise healthy.
00:00:45
Speaker
What we do with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, we put you inside a chamber, we pressurize the chamber, and we can manipulate how we get oxygen into your body.
00:00:54
Speaker
So we're dissolving oxygen into all your body fluids.
00:00:57
Speaker
You don't even need your red blood cells anymore.
00:00:59
Speaker
And that oxygen goes to all your tissues, all those injuries, that shoulder you just dislocated.
00:01:03
Speaker
It gets in there and pulls that inflammation down.
00:01:06
Speaker
We throw some stem cells at it and recover.
00:01:09
Speaker
Recover, yeah.
00:01:11
Speaker
Hey guys, that sounds like a lot, but I promise you it's good.
00:01:14
Speaker
But before we tap into that, who is Nicole and how did you get started into like, you know, the barriers?
00:01:21
Speaker
Like, where did it all start
Nicole Garrett's Background and Experience
00:01:22
Speaker
from?
00:01:22
Speaker
Yeah, so I was a commercial diver by train.
00:01:24
Speaker
So hard hat diver, kind of underwater welding.
00:01:27
Speaker
Diver like in the ocean?
00:01:28
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:01:29
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:29
Speaker
Yeah, like the big steel helmets, you know, that's why it's part of our logo.
00:01:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:01:35
Speaker
And a dive medic.
00:01:36
Speaker
And from there I went on to work at UCSD.
00:01:39
Speaker
We worked in trauma for a long time, so a lot of big crush injuries, massive blood loss, kind of big things.
00:01:45
Speaker
Went on to do traumatic brain injury research for the Department of Defense.
00:01:49
Speaker
And then from there I started opening hospital-based facilities all over the country.
00:01:53
Speaker
So most
Demographics of Hyperbaric Therapy Users
00:01:54
Speaker
hospitals don't own their chambers.
00:01:55
Speaker
It's kind of a lot that goes into
00:01:57
Speaker
Putting this together so they contract it out.
00:01:59
Speaker
So what people with the demographic of people use the chambers the most?
00:02:04
Speaker
Is it the elderly?
00:02:05
Speaker
Is it athletes?
00:02:06
Speaker
Is it you know people who construction workers like injuries like cool?
00:02:10
Speaker
Yeah, it's anyone who needs to recover so
00:02:13
Speaker
By default you do get a lot of elderly.
00:02:15
Speaker
Okay.
00:02:16
Speaker
Just because as we age things don't heal as well as they used to.
00:02:19
Speaker
There's a ton of research going into dementia and Alzheimer's and actually lengthening the telomeres on your DNA.
00:02:26
Speaker
So anti-aging on a DNA level from this.
00:02:30
Speaker
But outside kind of a hospital-based
00:02:32
Speaker
I mean we're in LA, we treat all your stunt people here because they come bouncing out of the chamber going, I feel amazing.
00:02:38
Speaker
And we're like, don't re-hurt yourself.
00:02:40
Speaker
But
Mechanism and Benefits of Oxygen Therapy
00:02:42
Speaker
yeah, it's just like I said, it's a cheat code for recovery.
00:02:44
Speaker
So if you can go in, get the therapy and then come out feeling amazing.
00:02:48
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I was here not too long ago.
00:02:50
Speaker
I'm thinking July, I came from my shoulder, I dislocated it.
00:02:55
Speaker
You put me in, I think I was in there for like an hour.
00:02:58
Speaker
Now,
00:02:59
Speaker
Me, because I've done it multiple times, like I understand the feeling it does for me, but what is the actual process that's happening while I'm in there to my muscles and my body when I'm under pressure?
00:03:09
Speaker
Yeah, so kind of like I said in the beginning, when we put you in the chamber, we're compressing your whole body.
00:03:15
Speaker
Now anything that you breathe,
00:03:18
Speaker
is concentrated and it's dissolved in all your fluids.
00:03:21
Speaker
So like, think of a soda that's carbonated with all those little bubbles inside there.
00:03:24
Speaker
Well, now that concentrated oxygen's in your joints, and it calms down the inflammation, it stimulates collagen synthesis, it stimulates stem cells to be released,
00:03:34
Speaker
And your body just goes, okay, where do I put this?
00:03:37
Speaker
And your whole body's in there, so it's going to start healing everything.
00:03:40
Speaker
Not just the shoulder.
00:03:41
Speaker
Not just the shoulder.
00:03:42
Speaker
And how often does someone with an injury or, say like people, I know people who have like lower back problems, right?
00:03:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:48
Speaker
How often should they come in?
00:03:49
Speaker
Once a week, once a month, several times a month, like,
00:03:52
Speaker
How consistent should they be to kind of get the full benefit?
00:03:55
Speaker
That depends on their specific injury.
00:03:57
Speaker
And when people come in, we do a full consult and kind of get their whole makeup and figure out what the best plan is for them.
00:04:03
Speaker
So if you
Comparing Hyperbaric Chambers and Athlete Usage
00:04:04
Speaker
have kind of a long-term nagging injury lower back, a lot of times you can find a good maintenance dose.
00:04:10
Speaker
A lot of our referring surgeons come in after a long day of surgery because they're hunched over the patient all day to get that same back pain.
00:04:16
Speaker
They come in once and they're great for another month or two.
00:04:19
Speaker
If you're really trying to heal an injury, like our athletes or fellow athletes that come in, you want to come in every day.
00:04:25
Speaker
It's like your antibiotics.
00:04:26
Speaker
You don't skip a dose.
00:04:27
Speaker
Really?
00:04:27
Speaker
Every day?
00:04:28
Speaker
Every day.
00:04:30
Speaker
And get that compounded.
00:04:31
Speaker
So do you like the professional athletes that play big time?
00:04:34
Speaker
Suppose I say someone like LeBron James.
00:04:36
Speaker
Does he use this equipment or technology every day?
00:04:39
Speaker
He tries to.
00:04:40
Speaker
He has what's called a mild hyperbaric chamber.
00:04:42
Speaker
So this is a can of worms where people are going to start getting really upset on the line.
00:04:48
Speaker
Mild hyperbarics was developed and approved for treating altitude sickness only.
00:04:55
Speaker
So for our wildland firefighters that go up in the mountains and fight fires, they get altitude sickness.
00:05:01
Speaker
They're working hard, they're breathing heavy, there's not as much oxygen in the mountains.
00:05:06
Speaker
They can put them in those soft-sided mild chambers to bring them back to sea level or so and treat it on the mountains so they can go back out and fight.
00:05:13
Speaker
To do that
Additional Health Services Offered
00:05:14
Speaker
here, it's not enough oxygen
00:05:17
Speaker
to be dissolved in your tissues to drive it into those injuries.
00:05:21
Speaker
So you really need kind of these more powerful chambers.
00:05:25
Speaker
So that's what he was using, that's part of the reason his injury took so long to heal.
00:05:29
Speaker
You take someone like Mo Bamba who had the same injury,
00:05:32
Speaker
He came in.
00:05:32
Speaker
And Obama is an NBA player, right?
00:05:34
Speaker
NBA player on the Lakers.
00:05:35
Speaker
He came in here every day and had some of the same co-therapies with the Hyperbarics and was cleared by the playoffs to go back in.
00:05:46
Speaker
So that's just much more powerful.
00:05:49
Speaker
So, you know, I know not only you got the hyperbaric, but you have a lot of other, you know, services here.
00:05:54
Speaker
You know, for me, I went to France this past summer.
00:05:57
Speaker
You guys had a jet lag trip.
00:06:00
Speaker
You know, I felt incredible with my time on the plane when I got off, when I came back.
00:06:04
Speaker
So along with the hyperbaric, what else services do you guys provide that benefits the whole ecosystem of the body?
00:06:11
Speaker
Yeah, so
Impact of Gut Health on Recovery
00:06:12
Speaker
we do do the IV therapy.
00:06:14
Speaker
Different just
00:06:15
Speaker
high nutrient IVs, the advantage of doing an IV versus just taking your multivitamins, depending upon your gut health and your ability to absorb those vitamins, doing an IV, we bypass that.
00:06:27
Speaker
It's in your system.
00:06:29
Speaker
It's quicker, but you also are guaranteeing absorption.
00:06:32
Speaker
Okay, work that down.
00:06:33
Speaker
You're not going to take absorption when I'm not taking my vitamins?
00:06:35
Speaker
When you eat your vitamins, it's got to go to your stomach, it's got to be broken down, your small intestine, your large intestine, they all start absorbing things.
00:06:43
Speaker
But if that's not optimized for whatever reason, then you can't absorb everything.
00:06:49
Speaker
So is liquid vitamins better than like capsules?
00:06:54
Speaker
It's still largely dependent on your own gut health.
00:07:00
Speaker
And so, you know, everyone's got inflammation right now.
00:07:04
Speaker
Our diet's a huge component of that.
00:07:07
Speaker
If your gut's inflamed, you're not absorbing everything.
00:07:09
Speaker
So then you're just going to pee it out.
00:07:10
Speaker
And what keeps a person gut inflamed?
00:07:13
Speaker
Is it like just hereditary, DNA?
00:07:15
Speaker
Is it lack of rest?
00:07:16
Speaker
Is it stress?
00:07:17
Speaker
Well, stress is probably the biggest trigger of inflammation in the body.
00:07:20
Speaker
Got it.
00:07:21
Speaker
Over everything else.
00:07:23
Speaker
But then you've got to look at what you're putting in.
00:07:26
Speaker
You can't put in 85 octane, 87 octane into a high-performing body and expect to win the next F1 race.
00:07:33
Speaker
It's just not going to happen.
00:07:35
Speaker
So you can't stop the packaged foods, stop the processed foods, just get real food.
00:07:40
Speaker
So
Exploring EBOO and Its Benefits
00:07:41
Speaker
for someone who travels a lot like myself, like I'm going to Cancun in a month, what type of drip should I come in and get?
00:07:47
Speaker
I would do the jet lag IV preemptively or the immune IV, just because you're on a plane, touching a lot of communal things.
00:07:55
Speaker
You just want your immune system to optimize so you don't get there and then get sick.
00:08:00
Speaker
And part of the benefit of IV too is just hydration.
00:08:03
Speaker
Got it.
00:08:04
Speaker
And what's the ingredients in those IVs?
00:08:06
Speaker
Are you aware of?
00:08:07
Speaker
It depends on which one.
00:08:09
Speaker
A lot of it's heavy on B vitamins.
00:08:11
Speaker
That's great for your immune system.
00:08:12
Speaker
We do B12 pushes.
00:08:13
Speaker
We'll do glutathione.
00:08:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:17
Speaker
We do that as a push too through the IV.
00:08:19
Speaker
Really good for liver cleansing and growth.
00:08:21
Speaker
Okay.
00:08:22
Speaker
Do you get IV drips?
00:08:24
Speaker
I do.
00:08:24
Speaker
You do?
00:08:24
Speaker
How many times?
00:08:25
Speaker
A week or a month?
00:08:27
Speaker
Well, anytime someone calls out and we already mix their bag, it's kind of a race to see who gets it.
00:08:32
Speaker
But sometimes about once a week just to get that high dose.
00:08:37
Speaker
And I do take daily multis.
00:08:38
Speaker
Got it.
00:08:40
Speaker
And so you got that.
00:08:41
Speaker
You just tell me about this machine here, people.
00:08:44
Speaker
Is the oxygen therapy a Hebrew?
00:08:46
Speaker
What you say?
00:08:47
Speaker
Hebrew.
00:08:48
Speaker
So this is our newest oxygen under pressure delivery system.
00:08:52
Speaker
It's extracorpioal blood oxygenation and ozonation.
00:08:56
Speaker
So... What's that?
00:08:57
Speaker
Can we break down the terminology?
00:09:02
Speaker
We take out your blood.
00:09:03
Speaker
It goes through actually a pretty powerful filter first.
00:09:06
Speaker
So they already use it to take cholesterol out of your blood and help lower cholesterol.
00:09:10
Speaker
After it goes through the filter, we oxygenate it.
00:09:12
Speaker
And you will actually see your dark deoxygenated blood coming out on one side and healthy bright red blood coming back in.
00:09:18
Speaker
And then we can also dose ozone.
00:09:20
Speaker
So you clean the blood.
00:09:21
Speaker
We're cleaning the blood.
00:09:23
Speaker
And ozone is O3.
00:09:26
Speaker
So everyone knows like O2, it's written everywhere, every logo you see.
00:09:30
Speaker
Oxygen's a really stable molecule in pairs.
00:09:33
Speaker
add a third oxygen molecule on there, it's not stable, we put it in your body and it throws off that extra oxygen and
00:09:42
Speaker
helps to grab free radicals, grab toxins, pull it out.
00:09:46
Speaker
And specifically biofilms, so bacteria, viruses, part of the reason our immune system struggles to get to those is it can't get through the biofilm, they're little protective shields.
00:09:56
Speaker
So the ozone, and same with the hyperbaric oxygen, that extra oxygen takes away their shields.
00:10:04
Speaker
Now your immune system
Recovery as a Health Priority
00:10:05
Speaker
has a better chance of penetrating.
00:10:06
Speaker
And would people, so all people come use this?
00:10:10
Speaker
Yes.
00:10:16
Speaker
Speak up!
00:10:16
Speaker
A little bit louder.
00:10:20
Speaker
Yeah, so for the, what's it again?
00:10:24
Speaker
Eboo.
00:10:24
Speaker
The Eboo.
00:10:25
Speaker
Much easier just to call it Eboo.
00:10:27
Speaker
Eboo.
00:10:27
Speaker
And it benefits, you know, cleaning out your blood, your blood cells, right?
00:10:31
Speaker
Clean your blood cells, cleaning the toxins out of your, you know, it's not just red blood cells in your blood.
00:10:35
Speaker
Yeah, right.
00:10:36
Speaker
It's all the nutrients we just threw in that IV.
00:10:39
Speaker
It's all the toxins.
00:10:40
Speaker
There's bacteria in there.
00:10:42
Speaker
So it just cleans all that out.
00:10:43
Speaker
Got it.
00:10:44
Speaker
And how often should someone come and clean their blood once a month?
00:10:47
Speaker
Usually, if you're a pretty healthy person, you do it on like a quarterly basis.
00:10:51
Speaker
Oh, wow.
00:10:51
Speaker
Or even twice a year.
00:10:52
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:52
Speaker
If you're overcoming being sick, having COVID especially, you know, everyone's got long COVID right now, those long-term symptoms, then you can kind of do it every week for a month.
00:11:04
Speaker
and then go back to something like fingers.
00:11:06
Speaker
So this is like helps if you have COVID you're saying?
00:11:10
Speaker
Oh yeah, huge.
00:11:11
Speaker
Cause COVID weakens your immune system because your body's trying so hard to take care of the COVID that your underlying sicknesses come out.
00:11:18
Speaker
One of the big ones we see is everyone at mono or Epstein-Barr as a kid, we're seeing a huge resurgence of that.
00:11:23
Speaker
That's because the COVID took down your immune system.
00:11:27
Speaker
So now that it's been hiding in there is coming out.
00:11:31
Speaker
And the thing is, you know, I think the biggest thing about what you guys do is beneficial not only for the body, but for the mind, but for the entire, like, body.
00:11:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:39
Speaker
But what I've noticed and what I understand from the world at large and people out there is that the lack of information, the lack of education, you know, we had a lot of terms in here in this discussion thus far.
00:11:51
Speaker
I want to kind of take it back and kind of like break it down to make it make sense in a way where people feel comfortable and confident in coming and getting an hyperbaric chamber, getting an IV drip, you know, cleaning out their blood.
00:12:05
Speaker
What can you say from your perspective,
00:12:08
Speaker
to make people feel safe that they're coming to a place that's going to benefit them and not hurt them.
00:12:12
Speaker
Because I think when people think of the things we've talked about, spoke on, they're like, oh, that's what you do.
00:12:17
Speaker
You work out and you're a recovery guy.
00:12:19
Speaker
And it's like, no, this is for everybody.
00:12:21
Speaker
This is open to everyone.
00:12:23
Speaker
So what is it that you can say or give people so they can understand why it's so important to recover your body and put your well-being first?
00:12:33
Speaker
Yeah, well, I think we're seeing this everywhere right now, is people are great at finally getting in the gym or starting to change, but they don't give themselves the proper recovery.
00:12:41
Speaker
Yes.
00:12:42
Speaker
They don't have the rest.
00:12:43
Speaker
They're not getting the nutrients back in to rebuild what you just stripped down.
00:12:48
Speaker
And then again, our favorite, most recent disease process everywhere, COVID, it just strips a lot out of you.
00:12:54
Speaker
And so coming in here or somewhere like here, as long as you have the right training and right equipment or right staff, I mean, it's very safe.
00:13:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:03
Speaker
All we're doing with the hyperbaric
Conditions Treated by Hyperbarics
00:13:04
Speaker
oxygen is pressure and it's oxygen and we're letting your body do the rest.
00:13:08
Speaker
We're just using that pressure to kind of manipulate how we get it done.
00:13:12
Speaker
Yeah, I think on this worksheet that we're providing here, we're talking about people like post-surgery, people who have cerebral palsy, a lot of these things.
00:13:25
Speaker
Oh, here it is right here.
00:13:27
Speaker
So diabetes, cancer, autism, Lyme disease, recovery from plastic surgery, sports injury, stroke,
00:13:33
Speaker
traumatic brain injuries usually helps when they come through the chamber, right?
00:13:37
Speaker
Yeah, I mean on a fundamental level, all of those things are being treated the same way.
00:13:43
Speaker
So we're getting oxygen to areas that it was deprived.
00:13:47
Speaker
If you had surgery, we literally cut the oxygen supply off because we cut those blood vessels.
00:13:51
Speaker
When we put you in the chamber, we're re-oxygenating that area.
00:13:54
Speaker
And with hyperbaric oxygen, it's the only thing we have in medicine that will regrow new blood vessels.
00:14:00
Speaker
So if you have a damage from surgery, if you have damage from a traumatic brain injury because your brain hit the inside of your skull and you'll have a giant bruise on your brain where all those little tiny blood vessels have been ruptured, now we put you in the chamber and we just get oxygen in there.
00:14:15
Speaker
You had a stroke, it's a little blockage of the blood flow in your brain and it cannot get past there.
00:14:20
Speaker
So we flood the area of oxygen and then when you come out, we take it out every day.
00:14:25
Speaker
That's what stimulates your body to go, wait a minute, I had something there a minute ago.
00:14:29
Speaker
and I don't have it, I'm gonna create it.
00:14:31
Speaker
And how long does it take for someone to notice recovery when they do the chamber?
00:14:35
Speaker
For our athletes who are in tune with their bodies, they come out literally after one treatment.
00:14:39
Speaker
Jumping around, bouncing around.
00:14:41
Speaker
For us more regular people that aren't like on your level, you don't always notice it right away, but surgeons will tell you they can see it in the OR after one treatment.
00:14:52
Speaker
And it's happening.
00:14:53
Speaker
Yeah, I wanted to say, you know, it was two years ago,
00:14:57
Speaker
I was done hyperbaric at a different place.
00:14:59
Speaker
And I was just like, let me try.
00:15:01
Speaker
Let me see.
00:15:01
Speaker
I didn't feel anything.
00:15:03
Speaker
But there was a moment where maybe I thought I got COVID.
00:15:05
Speaker
I was like freaking out.
00:15:06
Speaker
My lower back was hurt.
00:15:07
Speaker
My upper back was hurt.
00:15:08
Speaker
And I was just like, my immune system is breaking down.
00:15:11
Speaker
I'm weak.
00:15:12
Speaker
And I got in the chamber and I felt totally different.
00:15:15
Speaker
And I was just like, what happened?
00:15:19
Speaker
Like, I knew my body changed and I felt better.
00:15:21
Speaker
I'm like, oh, it really works.
00:15:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:24
Speaker
You know, sometimes people think this thing can be a placebo effect, right?
00:15:28
Speaker
It's gonna tell you, you believe it, it works.
00:15:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:31
Speaker
No, I mean, we can see it on a cellular level.
00:15:33
Speaker
We have data to show we go this deep for this tissue and we go deeper for muscle and even deeper for bone based on time to get the oxygen in there.
00:15:41
Speaker
We can see it, but to feel it.
00:15:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:44
Speaker
Sometimes it feels slow.
00:15:45
Speaker
We're a, I want my magic pill society.
00:15:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:48
Speaker
Cause I want it.
00:15:48
Speaker
I want it to heal like right down, right away.
00:15:50
Speaker
Uh, now,
00:15:53
Speaker
I got a few people that I know, and I don't know if hyperbaric will change or help this, where they're having a lot of tension in their face, like in their jars.
00:16:04
Speaker
Does oxygen help with that or loosen that up?
00:16:06
Speaker
Well, that's good.
00:16:07
Speaker
I mean, on some level, yes, because you're going to get the inflammation down.
00:16:12
Speaker
But if they have a lot of tension in their jaw, they probably are grinding their teeth at night or sleeping tense.
00:16:18
Speaker
And so sometimes a night guard can help.
00:16:21
Speaker
Botox and your insurance will usually even approve that will help you do Botox around the crown the jaw down here helps migraines I would look into that as well.
00:16:30
Speaker
It'll make them feel better getting treatment But then if they stop doing treatments it would come back.
00:16:35
Speaker
That would be something I'd say look into the cause.
00:16:38
Speaker
And so they probably would have to kind of be consistent.
00:16:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:40
Speaker
Coming back.
00:16:41
Speaker
Coming back to that.
00:16:42
Speaker
What about like knee injuries, like right underneath the kneecap?
00:16:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:45
Speaker
Like tendonitis or like elbows.
00:16:48
Speaker
You know, I have clients that are older and they're always having tendonitis issues.
00:16:51
Speaker
So anytime you have itis, itis means inflammation.
00:16:55
Speaker
Okay, so yes, this means inflammation very anti-inflammatory And so that and that stuff will subtly go away when you're coming in and then you'll stop treatment and we've actually had a lot of patients get off their arthritis medications because they get the inflammation down but again if you're not stopping the trigger the inflammatory foods or the
00:17:18
Speaker
poor habits, sometimes it's posture related, then it will come back.
00:17:23
Speaker
So yes, we can get it to go away, but it's a band-aid for some of that.
00:17:26
Speaker
Now if it's an injury and you have a lack of oxygen and we get that blood supply fixed, you're great.
00:17:32
Speaker
And what is like the most common issue that you or challenge you guys see here on a day-to-day basis or weekly basis?
00:17:38
Speaker
As far as what people coming in, like coming in for, is it like migraines?
00:17:42
Speaker
Is it shoulders?
00:17:42
Speaker
Is it back?
00:17:43
Speaker
Is it knees?
00:17:44
Speaker
Like,
00:17:45
Speaker
Or just overall just immune system weak?
00:17:47
Speaker
Like what is it?
00:17:48
Speaker
We're seeing, well, we're seeing a lot of, you know, I don't know if it's necessarily long COVID or just post viral in general after the flu.
00:17:56
Speaker
We do see a ton of post-surgery, and we are in Beverly Hills.
00:17:59
Speaker
So that's a huge area of specialty here.
00:18:05
Speaker
But I would say surgery and traumatic brain injuries are probably the two most prevalent for us right now.
00:18:11
Speaker
Surgery?
00:18:12
Speaker
Surgery.
00:18:12
Speaker
Is it because the surgery just put too much inflammation on their body once they made the transition?
00:18:18
Speaker
No, so you can have complications after healing.
00:18:20
Speaker
Usually it's where they bring the tissue back together and those edges don't heal all the way.
00:18:25
Speaker
But also you can prevent scarring and treat scarring with the chamber because you get that inflammation down and you get the oxygen in there right away.
00:18:34
Speaker
So are you saying people should come before they get their center?
00:18:36
Speaker
You should do one to three treatments before.
00:18:38
Speaker
Oh.
00:18:40
Speaker
And then do seven to ten after if everything's going perfect.
00:18:43
Speaker
If there's complications, sometimes you need more.
00:18:46
Speaker
If you had a lot of surgery in that area before, I would actually do 10 to 20 before your treatment.
00:18:51
Speaker
Get all the blood supply fixed before they go in and cut it apart again.
00:18:57
Speaker
Do doctors that do this type of surgery, do they prefer patients to do that?
00:19:02
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:02
Speaker
Or do they prep them before coming in?
00:19:04
Speaker
Most of our surgeons in the area now tell them,
00:19:08
Speaker
If they're not smokers come in for a couple treatments before, if you have a smoking history, again, you've got blood vessel damage.
00:19:14
Speaker
So that's due 10 to 20 before to make sure the surgery will be successful.
00:19:19
Speaker
Otherwise we know when we cut, it's going to fail.
00:19:22
Speaker
And so
Cultural Perspectives on Health Investment
00:19:23
Speaker
would you say hyperbaric is more like a deep meditation for the body?
00:19:27
Speaker
Because I feel like when you're in there, your body automatically resets or regulates to its normal self.
00:19:34
Speaker
You're more like, not depleted, but...
00:19:36
Speaker
You're not tense, you're not thinking, you're more like, I always fall asleep.
00:19:40
Speaker
Yeah, well most people are very relaxed in there, you can remove your cell phones and any stimuli, so in that sense it's very forced.
00:19:47
Speaker
A lot of our patients like to listen to frequency music and meditations while they're in there and get the dual benefit.
00:19:53
Speaker
But there is some benefit to just that much pressure being on your body.
00:19:56
Speaker
It's kind of, you know, you get some lymphatic drainage, you get like a big hug.
00:20:01
Speaker
You know, for the world we're living in today, my intention for the world is to be healthier, to heal, to be better, to be stronger, wiser, you know, to help the equal sets of themselves.
00:20:12
Speaker
What is your intentions for under pressure, hyperbarics, and how do you see things moving forward for humanity from your lens?
00:20:19
Speaker
What do you want to see?
00:20:20
Speaker
Well, more prevention.
00:20:22
Speaker
We're still a very reactionary society when it comes to health care, personal health.
00:20:28
Speaker
We wait until something's wrong.
00:20:29
Speaker
I need to get it better.
00:20:31
Speaker
How do we do that?
00:20:32
Speaker
Well, some of that's culture.
00:20:34
Speaker
Okay.
00:20:34
Speaker
You know, that's all, that's just how it's been forever.
00:20:36
Speaker
We're not a society of prevention.
00:20:38
Speaker
Our insurance companies don't support a lot of prevention.
00:20:42
Speaker
If you're going to do a lot of that preventative stuff, it's out of your own pocket.
00:20:45
Speaker
So they wait until it gets so bad they have to go in and then, you know, outs of prevention is a pound of cure.
00:20:50
Speaker
If you can come in, if you can keep the inflammation down on your body, keep yourself hydrated,
00:20:56
Speaker
get adequate rest, you probably never progressed to that, oh no, I have this very big thing wrong with me.
00:21:02
Speaker
Or if it happens, you're going to recover so much faster.
00:21:06
Speaker
And what is, there's a frequency, there's a paradigm around holistic well-being and preventive care.
00:21:16
Speaker
Why is that?
00:21:16
Speaker
Like I said earlier, like people are afraid, unconsciously.
00:21:21
Speaker
Even like if my parents came to town, my mom was here like last summer.
00:21:24
Speaker
And I wanted to take her to cryo.
00:21:26
Speaker
She didn't want to get in the chamber.
00:21:27
Speaker
And then it's like she just was so resistant, which I get because she's not comfortable.
00:21:31
Speaker
It's not common.
00:21:33
Speaker
But it's a stereotype.
00:21:34
Speaker
It's a paradigm that why is it like that?
00:21:37
Speaker
Is it because it's too attached to like being in a hospital or being less or sick?
00:21:43
Speaker
I think even with cryo and some of those, I think there's just largely a fear of the unknown.
00:21:48
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:21:49
Speaker
With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, there's often a fear of claustrophobia.
00:21:52
Speaker
Yes!
00:21:53
Speaker
You know, that's part of the reason we have those clear acrylic chambers.
00:21:57
Speaker
I wish we had one of here right now.
00:21:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:58
Speaker
It's a little loud.
00:21:59
Speaker
Go to the page right now.
00:22:01
Speaker
Under pressure.
00:22:02
Speaker
Hyperbaric.
00:22:02
Speaker
The clear chambers, you can see out.
00:22:04
Speaker
We can communicate the whole time.
00:22:06
Speaker
And sometimes it's just education.
00:22:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:08
Speaker
Being comfortable with the unknown and diving in.
00:22:12
Speaker
It's not something, I mean, a lot of people look at this and go, you're going to take my blood?
00:22:15
Speaker
Wow.
00:22:17
Speaker
Or even getting a drip and you got to get some blood out of it or stimulate it there.
00:22:22
Speaker
Another thing that I realized is that investment, I always say the greatest investment we're making in life is in ourselves.
00:22:28
Speaker
So people might not want to pay for training.
00:22:31
Speaker
They might not want to pay for a vitamin drip or a hyperbaric.
00:22:34
Speaker
but it's better in you, the vibration of you.
00:22:38
Speaker
I guess this goes back to what you said before because we're programmed not to invest in our health and well-being.
00:22:44
Speaker
Why is that?
00:22:45
Speaker
Who is driving
Integrating Recovery in Fitness Regimes
00:22:46
Speaker
that intention for us to be that way?
00:22:49
Speaker
You know, it's like we're going to eat unhealthy food, we're not going to work out, we're going to drink, we're going to party, but we're not going to invest in the health of our body.
00:22:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:58
Speaker
I don't have the answer for that.
00:23:01
Speaker
But we, I mean,
00:23:03
Speaker
Just look at most of the US compared to Europe where you just came from.
00:23:06
Speaker
We work, like live to work.
00:23:10
Speaker
Where they work to live.
00:23:12
Speaker
There's a huge balance where they take time off midday and do your siesta.
00:23:16
Speaker
That's their self-care.
00:23:17
Speaker
It's also putting the big meal in the middle of the day and some right before you go to bed.
00:23:21
Speaker
Their programming is different.
00:23:23
Speaker
Their culture is different.
00:23:24
Speaker
Our culture is work.
00:23:27
Speaker
And that means
00:23:28
Speaker
Work, grab some food as you're running down.
00:23:30
Speaker
I'm a victim of this.
00:23:32
Speaker
I mean, I eat at my desk while I'm working.
00:23:33
Speaker
The last time I took an actual lunch, I couldn't help.
00:23:37
Speaker
Yeah, we got to stop that.
00:23:38
Speaker
I just want more people to be healed and have the information about Hyperbaric.
00:23:42
Speaker
So what part of LA are we in right now?
00:23:45
Speaker
We're in Beverly Hills or West Hollywood?
00:23:47
Speaker
We are right on the edge.
00:23:49
Speaker
Technically, Beverly Hills, a couple blocks from Cedars.
00:23:52
Speaker
We're right on the edge.
00:23:54
Speaker
So you got the IV, you got hyperbaric.
00:23:58
Speaker
What else do you guys have here?
00:23:59
Speaker
We do peptide therapy.
00:24:01
Speaker
What's that?
00:24:02
Speaker
Peptides are kind of hard to explain, but peptides are something, not like stem cells.
00:24:08
Speaker
Peptides are something, though, that's inside your body that you have, but you can supplement with.
00:24:14
Speaker
The most famous peptide right now is cypaglutide.
00:24:16
Speaker
That's what's in those endics.
00:24:17
Speaker
That's the big one that's helping all the diabetics lose weight, get their sugars under control.
00:24:23
Speaker
But it's not a drug per se.
00:24:25
Speaker
It's something your body makes and we're just supplementing more of it.
00:24:28
Speaker
Those are all mostly injections every day though.
00:24:32
Speaker
And why are people using it?
00:24:33
Speaker
I see a lot of people losing weight here in LA, Hollywood.
00:24:37
Speaker
Is there a side effect to that?
00:24:40
Speaker
The second gluten does have some side effects.
00:24:44
Speaker
And again, just like anything, you can have too much of something.
00:24:46
Speaker
So you have to be careful.
00:24:48
Speaker
If someone has any history of thyroid issues, they can't do that.
00:24:51
Speaker
It can cause thyroid issues.
00:24:53
Speaker
And you have to watch your pancreas a little bit.
00:24:55
Speaker
So it's working with our insulin system that's driven by our pancreas.
00:24:58
Speaker
So it can cause some inflammation in the pancreas.
00:25:01
Speaker
So it's not one you just want to, like, jump into.
00:25:03
Speaker
You want a doctor to be monitoring your labs and making sure we're not stimulating inflammation during that process.
00:25:09
Speaker
Yeah, well, people, be aware.
00:25:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:11
Speaker
For the peptides, those types.
00:25:13
Speaker
But anyway, what is your ideal client as far as like health and well-being, like what they should eat, what you recommend they do once a week, a few times a week to be, you know, fully healthy?
00:25:24
Speaker
Well, I think our ideal client is just someone who is an active participant.
00:25:28
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:29
Speaker
And that's true of anything in health.
00:25:31
Speaker
You have to actively be doing all the things you need to do outside of here to maximize the effort, the money, and the time that you're putting for being here.
00:25:39
Speaker
This is a great anti-inflammatory.
00:25:40
Speaker
It's going to stimulate stem cell release.
00:25:42
Speaker
It's going to get you where you want to be.
00:25:44
Speaker
But if you walk out the door and go eat a cheeseburger and french fries and a soda full of sugar and carbs and fats and salts, then you're undoing the benefits.
00:25:55
Speaker
So you want to put everything in place and you'll have amazing results.
00:26:00
Speaker
Yeah, and I, you know, like you said, we're so programmed to do the opposite.
00:26:05
Speaker
Yes.
00:26:05
Speaker
Because I think social media, the media has pushed out all the unhealthy things that we think we need or want.
00:26:13
Speaker
And sometimes it's not food.
Promoting Holistic Health Practices
00:26:14
Speaker
You know, sometimes people get married or
00:26:16
Speaker
get a college degree or buy that home and it's not sustainable for everybody.
00:26:22
Speaker
I want to say that I think it's important if you can three times or four times a week move your body for 30 minutes.
00:26:28
Speaker
Yes.
00:26:28
Speaker
Right?
00:26:29
Speaker
Even if you just power walk in, you go on a hike, you're spending time in nature, right?
00:26:34
Speaker
Try your best to eat as clean as you can, right?
00:26:38
Speaker
And understand what is your blueprint and your program when it comes to health and well-being.
00:26:41
Speaker
And more importantly, what is health to you?
00:26:43
Speaker
Because everybody's concept around health and well-being is totally different.
00:26:47
Speaker
I know people say, I can eat what I want because I work out five times a week.
00:26:50
Speaker
Okay, but that's that concept.
00:26:52
Speaker
It doesn't mean it's going to work long-term.
00:26:56
Speaker
But I just think recovery, even when I just got a certification of my NASM cert,
00:27:01
Speaker
was nothing in the certification that talked about recovery at all yeah it's something about overtraining yeah but they didn't talk anything about recovery why is recovery such a hidden factor when it comes to the physical training for the health of your body like how do you don't how's it not out in the front like you know i have a client she says she's all about longevity over vanity right because fitness look at me yeah but no one talks about
00:27:28
Speaker
healed or i'm recovered why is it not why is it not pushed out enough is it is it becoming a new thing now it's the society is changing as a whole people are kind of waking up to this people are starting to look at prevention anti-aging um but that's actually a good concept for her because you can do the fitness and look good now but as you age if you're not doing the right things to recover and replenish it's gonna show
00:27:54
Speaker
It's gonna show in your tissues, your collagen's not gonna last, it's gonna sag.
00:27:58
Speaker
And you're gonna be forced to do something to compensate versus again, just preventing it, doing it right the first time.
00:28:03
Speaker
And I think these things should be in school.
00:28:05
Speaker
They should build them in curriculums.
00:28:07
Speaker
They should be, you know, I said before that she should come up with a book, you know, cheat codes.
00:28:13
Speaker
What is it?
00:28:13
Speaker
Cheat codes for, what do we say?
00:28:15
Speaker
Healing, right?
00:28:16
Speaker
Or recovery.
00:28:17
Speaker
Because if you know how to recover your body, then
00:28:21
Speaker
I always say, you know, in nutrition they teach you how to add and not take away because when you start adding the right things, the wrong things will start falling off.
00:28:30
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:31
Speaker
So I feel like if people knew the benefits of recovering their body, they'll understand, you know, the benefits of moving their body.
00:28:39
Speaker
But if you don't know me, there's like, why would you do it?
00:28:42
Speaker
So I just think, you know, we need hyperbaric chambers in every university, every school.
00:28:47
Speaker
I'm not sure if they have any.
00:28:48
Speaker
Maybe they do in the major D1s, but I know when I was in college, I don't remember having this type of equipment or ozone therapy or vitamin drips.
00:28:57
Speaker
You don't need a vitamin drips, you just hungover.
00:28:59
Speaker
It's like, why is that?
00:29:00
Speaker
Like, why not just weekly or monthly or quarterly that we should get these drips?
00:29:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:05
Speaker
I think it's something that we should definitely be moving towards.
00:29:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:08
Speaker
But there has to be an acceptance for it.
00:29:10
Speaker
How do we accept it?
00:29:13
Speaker
I feel like you have the answer to that.
00:29:14
Speaker
Well, I think allopathic medicine has to accept it more.
00:29:18
Speaker
Allopathic,
Hyperbaric Therapy for Athletic Enhancement
00:29:19
Speaker
what is that?
00:29:19
Speaker
Allopathic is your traditional medicine, which is what we primarily use in the U.S. Yes.
00:29:25
Speaker
It's not more the holistic, where we look at your whole thing.
00:29:27
Speaker
We go, you have a knee injury, I'm going to send you to an ortho, he's going to look at your knee.
00:29:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:31
Speaker
Whereas you go to someone who's like a chiropractor, they're gonna say, yes, you have a knee injury, but did you know your foot was partially dislocated?
00:29:37
Speaker
So every step you take, you're putting undue stress on your knee.
00:29:41
Speaker
Or like half the pro athletes I've seen in here for knee and ankle injuries come in, not for the first injury, but because the other side is now starting to do the same thing because they've been overcompensating.
00:29:51
Speaker
They didn't treat the source.
00:29:53
Speaker
So getting that recovery in the first time would have prevented the secondary injury for them.
00:29:58
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, recovery people, recovery of your body.
00:30:02
Speaker
By the way, follow Under Pressure Hypo Barracks on Instagram.
00:30:06
Speaker
Do you guys got anything going on for like, you know, this fourth quarter?
00:30:10
Speaker
Any programs or discounts or anything in particular that people should look forward to?
00:30:15
Speaker
Yeah, this month we're really... By the way, are you doing anything virtually?
00:30:17
Speaker
Because, you know, we are in L.A.
00:30:19
Speaker
Yeah, we do virtual consults.
00:30:21
Speaker
Obviously, our facility's here.
00:30:22
Speaker
But if you're looking for a good program and then, you know, you live in Atlanta or you live in New York or whatever...
00:30:28
Speaker
We do do telemed consults to at least help you build a plan.
00:30:31
Speaker
We can do some of your initial nutrition and hormone testing, mail that out.
00:30:35
Speaker
and then set you up with a good clinic.
00:30:37
Speaker
Our goal is to open more under pressures.
00:30:39
Speaker
We have a couple in the works.
00:30:42
Speaker
And how important is hormones for a person's individual body?
00:30:46
Speaker
Because you've got people who go to the gym and they work out, but then they can't drop the weight or they bloated all the time.
00:30:52
Speaker
And it could be something in their hormones or in their blood that they don't know about.
00:30:56
Speaker
Blood work helps tremendously with figuring that out.
00:31:00
Speaker
Because a lot of that prevents recovery.
00:31:02
Speaker
Right, right.
00:31:02
Speaker
Do you have to?
00:31:05
Speaker
take blood here?
00:31:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:31:06
Speaker
We do.
00:31:08
Speaker
And then we also take it here, but we can mail the kits to your office or set you up with LabCorp or wherever you're at and then interpret the results and give you a plan.
00:31:19
Speaker
Got it.
00:31:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:20
Speaker
But your hormones are important.
00:31:22
Speaker
They're like on and off switches for everything in your body.
00:31:24
Speaker
And so if those are off, they're going to be a huge factor on why you can't lose weight or why you feel you can't recover.
00:31:30
Speaker
All of that.
00:31:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:32
Speaker
I mean, I just think in general, I've been
00:31:34
Speaker
Recovering and working out for years, but what I do know, I always say is the most undervalued thing in the world is rest.
00:31:41
Speaker
Yes.
00:31:42
Speaker
We don't get out rest.
00:31:42
Speaker
We do not.
00:31:44
Speaker
Rest, sleep.
00:31:45
Speaker
Yes.
00:31:46
Speaker
Like we have to rest.
00:31:47
Speaker
And I think recovery is the cousin or the form of rest, right?
00:31:53
Speaker
Because you're allowing yourself to let go and receive.
00:31:55
Speaker
It's like when we're resting, we're receiving.
00:31:57
Speaker
When we're working out, we're going, we're giving.
00:32:00
Speaker
Well, when you sleep is when your body does all its repair work.
00:32:03
Speaker
So if you're not getting adequate sleep and adequate rest, then all that work you put in, you can't recover from it.
00:32:09
Speaker
There was a pretty famous study for athletes done.
00:32:13
Speaker
Nike sponsored it, the Nike Project.
00:32:15
Speaker
But they took a bunch of athletes.
00:32:17
Speaker
They had them train at sea level, but sleep in a hypobaric environment.
00:32:23
Speaker
So it's like sleeping in altitude.
00:32:24
Speaker
It's kind of like all of our fighters we know go train a big bear.
00:32:27
Speaker
And they all improved their times.
00:32:30
Speaker
And it's kind of like a legal way of blood doping.
00:32:32
Speaker
By depriving your body of oxygen at night, your body's forced to make more red blood cells to carry.
00:32:38
Speaker
The problem with the study they also found was everyone had more injuries and most of them couldn't fully finish because at the most important time of repair, their sleep, they didn't get enough oxygen.
00:32:50
Speaker
Wow.
00:32:50
Speaker
So like if you lived in like Denver or in Colorado, would that be the case?
00:32:54
Speaker
It would be.
00:32:54
Speaker
If you're born there, your body naturally adapts.
00:32:56
Speaker
You guys have the cheat code embedded in you.
00:32:59
Speaker
But if you or I went there, because we're not used to living there,
00:33:03
Speaker
yeah it's a factor and why is that i remember when i was in mexico city i think the altitude was maybe like four or five thousand and i was working out like wow i must be tired yeah yeah what is that is because the air is like thicker there or no it's thinner it's thinner so there's less atmospheric pressure on top of you so right now we're basically at sea level in los angeles 21 percent oxygen we're breathing here when you go up to altitude say 4 000 feet you have less atmospheric pressure we're only getting 19 percent oxygen
00:33:30
Speaker
Every breath you take, every move you make, your body still wants to use the same amount of oxygen, but it's not there.
00:33:36
Speaker
So that's kind of what the hyperbarics does.
00:33:38
Speaker
We just bypass all that and dissolve in your fluids.
00:33:41
Speaker
But you go up to altitude.
00:33:43
Speaker
A lot of those athletes end up sleeping in an altitude tent or going to train there and then getting a hyperbaric treatment during the day to compensate for the loss.
00:33:51
Speaker
I think Canelo was training in a Colorado place.
00:33:54
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:33:55
Speaker
And so that benefits.
00:33:56
Speaker
But does they stay there the whole time?
00:33:58
Speaker
You live there the whole time.
00:33:59
Speaker
Got it.
00:34:00
Speaker
You have to be in that environment at least 10 hours a day to kind of get that benefit.
00:34:05
Speaker
So usually it's just a little, if I'm going to be stuck inside this environmental sleep, but again, that's your most important recovery time.
00:34:11
Speaker
That's when your body starts head to toe.
00:34:14
Speaker
That's when you clean out all the debris and chemicals in your brain.
00:34:16
Speaker
That's why you don't sleep well for a while and you feel brain fog.
00:34:19
Speaker
You're just, you're literally not able to clean it out.
00:34:22
Speaker
Well, this was a beautiful discussion.
00:34:25
Speaker
Do we have any
Conclusion and Future Directions
00:34:26
Speaker
questions?
00:34:27
Speaker
What you got there, Sheila?
00:34:28
Speaker
Anything?
00:34:29
Speaker
They're discussing me.
00:34:30
Speaker
Eboo?
00:34:31
Speaker
Eboo.
00:34:32
Speaker
So, Eboo, if you guys want to know a little bit more about it, and I am not the absolute specialist on it, we have someone that comes in every week to do it for us, but there's different forms of ozone that you can get.
00:34:44
Speaker
So, some people will just get ozone injections in joints.
00:34:48
Speaker
Oh, you can do that.
00:34:48
Speaker
You just put it right in the joint, your body takes that oxygen, and again, it's kind of like working a little bit like stem cells, but it's also got a powerful cleating factor.
00:34:57
Speaker
The next is just to take out a pint of blood.
00:35:00
Speaker
inject the ozone in it and then re-infuse it.
00:35:03
Speaker
And they have some of those called the 10 pass, where they'll do that 10 times.
00:35:06
Speaker
Most people don't make it a full 10 times, your blood's gonna clot off.
00:35:10
Speaker
With this, because it's a closed system, we can do half of your blood all at once.
00:35:15
Speaker
And the reason we like this system over the others is one, the manufacturer of this was very good about
00:35:22
Speaker
researching the products they used, the tubing, because oxygen is corrosive.
00:35:27
Speaker
So if you're not using the right components in the machine, you're going to oxidize it and you're going to overdose someone with ozone.
00:35:33
Speaker
So they eliminate all of that.
00:35:35
Speaker
But also you have the filter on here and that filter is about half the powerhouse of the EU.
00:35:40
Speaker
We're pulling blood clots out of people that just had COVID and you can see it in the lines.
00:35:45
Speaker
When we run the full system, you'll see we can pull extracellular waste off of your cells.
00:35:50
Speaker
So everyone that does eBoo is like, I feel amazing.
00:35:53
Speaker
I slept for the first time.
00:35:54
Speaker
They're starting to lower some of their medications.
00:35:57
Speaker
Again, it's powerful just lowering your cholesterol, too.
00:36:00
Speaker
What is the average cost for something like this for someone who come in who get this?
00:36:04
Speaker
Yeah, I think they're about $1,800.
00:36:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:36:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:07
Speaker
And what about hyperbaric if you want to come in?
00:36:09
Speaker
Hyperbaric, if you can't use insurance, we start around $350 an hour.
00:36:16
Speaker
And if someone has asthma, is hyperbaric recommended for them because they have trouble breathing?
00:36:21
Speaker
It's not going to affect your asthma negatively at all.
00:36:25
Speaker
If patients really want to take their inhaler and we can do that.
00:36:28
Speaker
But your inhaler works like a vasoconstrictor to kind of reduce the inflammation in there.
00:36:34
Speaker
That's what this naturally does.
00:36:37
Speaker
With oxygen therapy, other than recovery, what's some other fun facts that you can get from HBO?
00:36:44
Speaker
Fun facts from HBO.
00:36:46
Speaker
I mean other than recovery, it stimulates collagen synthesis.
00:36:49
Speaker
So anyone who's been working a career in hyperbarics, everyone's always like, you guys look so young.
00:36:53
Speaker
The coolest research I've seen in oxygen therapy or hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the last couple years came out of Israel and they took 40, I believe it was 40 people with a median age of 65 years old.
00:37:09
Speaker
took out their DNA, mapped out their telomeres.
00:37:12
Speaker
Their goal was to kind of prevent the degradation of every year your telomeres get shorter.
00:37:16
Speaker
That's your tails of your DNA.
00:37:17
Speaker
That's what we have to replicate to make new skin cells, new pancreas cells, new brain, whatever.
00:37:22
Speaker
And they gave them 60 hyperbaric treatments for two hours, remapped it out, and not only did they
00:37:29
Speaker
halted regression, but they actually re-grew the length of their telomeres.
00:37:33
Speaker
So on a DNA level, they were 40 years old.
00:37:36
Speaker
So they took them from 65 to 40 years old on a DNA level, which is groundbreaking.
00:37:42
Speaker
We always knew it made you look younger and you feel better.
00:37:45
Speaker
Yeah, I've never heard that.
00:37:46
Speaker
But to have your DNA show the benefit was pretty groundbreaking.
00:37:51
Speaker
So we got to get people to come in.
00:37:52
Speaker
You want to look younger, feel younger, be younger.
00:37:55
Speaker
We're all younger.
00:37:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:56
Speaker
Young forever.
00:37:57
Speaker
And Eric, who's on your shirt?
00:37:59
Speaker
Oh, MJ Fadeaway, the greatest ever door, the GOAT.
00:38:02
Speaker
You know, I got that energy on today.
00:38:05
Speaker
But yeah, Nicole, this was amazing.
00:38:07
Speaker
I'll definitely be here to get a vitamin drip.
00:38:09
Speaker
And also to try, I got to do another hyperbaric chamber.
00:38:13
Speaker
Only thing is my ears pop.
00:38:17
Speaker
Yes.
00:38:18
Speaker
You pop.
00:38:18
Speaker
So you got to, it's just for those of you that haven't done it, going on a hyperbaric chamber, it's, we call them dives because you're just like a scuba diver, you're diving.
00:38:27
Speaker
But it's the exact opposite of flying.
00:38:29
Speaker
So it's like landing in the airplane first.
00:38:31
Speaker
You're going to feel that pressure on your ears.
00:38:33
Speaker
You got to clear them.
00:38:34
Speaker
How do you clear them?
00:38:36
Speaker
I can't do that for you.
00:38:38
Speaker
Now, unlike a plane, because we use single-person chambers, we can stop.
00:38:41
Speaker
We can wait for you to catch up.
00:38:42
Speaker
We can even go backwards.
00:38:45
Speaker
Most people just kind of wiggle their jaw, yawn.
00:38:46
Speaker
You can vallisalvo where you pinch your nose, puff out your cheeks.
00:38:51
Speaker
Well, swallowing helps.
00:38:53
Speaker
Got it.
00:38:54
Speaker
Gum.
00:38:55
Speaker
Well, this was amazing.
00:38:56
Speaker
Thank you, Nicole.
00:38:57
Speaker
Thank you.
00:38:58
Speaker
I appreciate you coming out.
