69. Optimizing Oxygenation (Important for Biotoxin Illness Recovery & Chronic Illness in General) - 13 Strategies + 1 Way to Track Levels

28 minutes

In today's episode, we are diving into all things oxygen. Low levels of cellular oxygen are much more common than they seem (especially with the increased prevalence of biotoxin illness ie. mold/lyme/etc... and other chronic inflammatory conditions). Oxygen truly keeps our bodies alive; this episode is a must-listen!

Topics:

Introduction to Oxygenation

Importance of Oxygenation in Health

Low Blood Oxygen Levels in Chronic Inflammatory Conditions (Mold, Lyme, Etc.)

Oxygen Uptake in the Lungs

Inhalation and Oxygen Entry

Alveoli and Oxygen Diffusion

Role of Hemoglobin in Oxygen Uptake

Formation of Oxyhemoglobin

Oxygen Transport and Release into Tissue

Reversible Bond of Oxygen to Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin's Role in Oxygen Release

The Bohr Effect

Oxygen's Role in Cellular Respiration

Cellular Respiration and ATP Production

Electron Transport Chain in Mitochondria

Electron and Proton Movement

Role of Oxygen in ATP Synthesis

Formation of Water as a Byproduct

Effects of Low Oxygen Availability

Decreased ATP Production

Impaired NADH to NAD+ Ratio

Shift to Anaerobic Metabolism (Lactic Acid)

Hypoxia in Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome

Cytokine Storm and VEGF

Symptoms of Hypoxia in Biotoxin Illness

Treatment of Underlying Biotoxin Illness

Strategies for Increasing Cellular Oxygenation

Basic Practices for Good Health:

Aerobic Exercise

Hydration

Iron-Rich Diet

Posture Correction

Mitochondrial Support:

Urolithin A

Methylene Blue

Red or Infrared Light Therapy

NAD+ Precursors

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Chlorophyll-Rich Foods

Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT)

Oxygen Concentrators

Breathwork Exercises

Monitoring Oxygen Levels with a Pulse Oximeter
