294. Dr. Deep Sea: Hyperbaric Chamber Benefits Nobody Explains Correctly

from The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka · host Gary Brecka

Dr. Joe Dituri, also known as Dr. Deep Sea, spent 100 straight days living underwater and walked away with lower cholesterol, longer telomeres, and twice the stem cells, so I had to get him on to break down what hyperbaric oxygen actually does. In this episode, we cover why a focused 20-day protocol might move your health-span more than any supplement stack, how his deep and REM sleep nearly doubled, and the safety rules almost no home-chamber owner knows. It genuinely shifted how I run my own chambers, and it'll shift how you think about oxygen, pressure, and aging, too.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY’S VIP!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Get Dr. Deep Sea’s book, “Secrets in Depth”: https://bit.ly/4q8tNat Connect with Dr. Deep Sea Website: https://bit.ly/45IaXxs   YouTube: https://bit.ly/45wPsjj   Instagram: https://bit.ly/4fKDnNk  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4q2E7AB   X: https://bit.ly/4wKQmEy   LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4bwsvQz   Thank you to our partners A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD AIRES: "ULTIMATE20 " FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/4a3Duze BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKpCYMBIOTIKA: "BRECKACYM30" FOR 30% OFF: https://bit.ly/4tjyluP GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC H2TAB: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn SNOOZE: LET’S GET TO SLEEP!: https://bit.ly/4pt1T6V WHOOP: JOIN & GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8foX: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps 00:00 - ​Intro of Show 01:52 - The 100-day underwater world record 02:13 - Cholesterol, stem cell, and telomere results 02:50 - From Navy diver to hyperbaric medicine 05:35 - The largest TBI study ever run 06:34 - The 13 mechanisms of action 08:58 - Why pressure and dose matter 11:03 - The $101 million X Prize 13:24 - The hyperoxic-hypoxic chamber 16:16 - Doubling stem cells in five days 24:06 - Why more is never better 26:18 - Deep and REM sleep underwater 32:18 - Intermittent hypoxia and mitochondria 42:54 - Altitude and legal blood doping 47:43 - A 100-year safety record 52:44 - His stroke and the road back 01:06:48 - Oxygen, sugar, and cancer research 01:14:10 - Stacking sauna, ice, and red light 01:16:57 - The sauna-before-bed sleep hack 01:20:30 - What it means to be an ultimate human Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.
