S2E6 - The Powerful Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen

Show Summary: "With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it's not just about healing wounds. It gives you cellular energy to have more physical energy." Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment for several severe conditions that make you breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The pressure helps the body absorb oxygen and hyperoxygenates blood plasma, which then helps fight bacteria and promotes healing. It is a powerful yet underutilized therapy that is unknown to many. That's why we are lucky to have with us in this episode a powerful woman with whom I share a love for HBOT. A sponsored triathlete and an ambulance EMT, she was bound for a career in law enforcement. A torn shoulder from a wrestling match paved the way for her to discover the power of HBOT by how it had helped her heal faster.  So today, Alex Williams of The Holistic Hyperbarics Wellness Clinic will discuss her advocacy for HBOT and her mission of making this therapy more accessible and affordable for those who need it, even fighting her way for funding and accreditation. Her passion for helping others through this therapy and helping them live better lives through healing is genuinely remarkable. Tune in to our episode and find out if you may also need this kind of therapy in your healing journey. Or you can also help spread the word about it. PROVO HEALTH PROMO FROM FEBRUARY TO MARCH- 70 USD ONLY PER TREATMENTFLOWPRESSO AT 70 USD HOCATT AT 70 USD GO TO PROVOHEALTH.COM/PAGES/SERVICES AND USE THE CODE GUTSY20Exceptional Highlights:The one-size-fits-all Western way of thinking is no longer adequate for health care.With HBOT, you can sleep better, make better nutritional choices, do more exercises, and have a positive cycle in life.​​Your only limitation in life and healing is how much energy you have to do it. Show Highlights:What's the difference between hard-shell and softshell chambers?Alex Williams 8:11Hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers come in two distinct categories, a hard-shell chamber, and a soft-shell chamber. Soft-shell chambers allow you to go to 1.3 atmospheres, which is around 10 ½ to 11 feet of diving, and you can dive from 10 ½ feet to 66 feet with a hard-shell chamber. So it gives you a lot more variability depending on the patient's presentation and what they need.What does it do to our body for those who have just heard about HBOT?Alex Williams 11:48You probably all have already been in a hyperbaric chamber for your listeners who are all new. It's called an airplane. We put you in a controlled space. And we increase the amount of pressure in that control space. And what that does is it takes oxygen molecules and compacts them into a more controlled space.Tell us more about your holistic hyperbaric's expansion plans. How are you getting this to more and more people?Alex Williams 23:48We are manufacturing our own chambers. They'll be available next year. And we have patented technology to work inside the chamber. And so we're excited about that. Sponsor linkhttps://provohealth.com/pages/servicesUse the code "GUTSY20" to get the discount for FlowPresso and HOCATT - 70 USD only per treatmentHolistic Hyperbarics IG accountHSend us Fan Mail
