  • 138: Evidence-Based Hyperbaric Oxygen Protocol for Reversing Cellular Aging

    What if you could slow aging, repair cells, and boost your brain—all by breathing oxygen under pressure?


    Dr. Shai Efrati joins Longevity Junky to unpack the science and protocols behind hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This isn’t just oxygen—it’s precision medicine. We dive deep into how HBOT enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, triggers cellular repair, and may even lengthen telomeres.


    From cognitive enhancement to VO2 max gains in athletes, HBOT’s potential spans performance, recovery, and aging. Learn how the hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox works, why metabolic health matters, and how treatment protocols are fine-tuned through clinical evaluation. We also discuss real risks, side effects, cost, and the importance of doing HBOT in a medical-grade facility.
