Most people hear “hyperbaric oxygen therapy” and think scuba accidents or a Hail Mary for wounds. That’s exactly why we wanted Dr. Tyler Sexton on the show, because he lives at the intersection of hard medical outcomes and real human hope and he’s not shy about calling out what’s unsafe, what’s overpromised, and what actually works.

We talk through how HBOT supports healing in chronic wounds, radiation injury, surgical complications, and infections, then zoom out to the growing demand for wellness, recovery, and performance. Dr. Sexton explains the basics of dosing and protocols, why angiogenesis and inflammation control matter, and what people mean when they bring up anti-aging, telomeres, cognition, and “feeling better” after a series of dives. We also get practical about what a typical treatment plan looks like, how long sessions run, and why consistency is non-negotiable if you want results.

Safety and consumer awareness are front and center. We cover contraindications like untreated pneumothorax and severe lung disease, the most common side effect (ear pressure and barotrauma), and why “home hyperbaric chambers” raise red flags. Dr. Sexton shares what to look for in a legitimate hyperbaric facility, including medical oversight, staff training, and chamber standards like FDA clearance and PVHO. He also shares the fascinating aerospace side of the work, including FAA-approved high-altitude hypoxia training that helps pilots recognize symptoms fast and protect their crew.

If you’ve ever wondered whether hyperbaric medicine is only for “non-healing wounds” or if it can support brain recovery, sleep, inflammation, and overall function, you’ll leave with a clearer framework and better questions to ask. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find safe, evidence-based HBOT.
