0:00 so there's this thing called hyperbaric oxygen therapy and it's been touted as a miracle treatment for many challenging conditions including cushioned wound healing and even depression and anxiety have you done any hyperbaric chambers now no you should do that Protocols are intense and they're long and they're expensive and recently a new study came out suggesting that a 60 session protocol could lengthen your telomeres which basically means it can reverse the aging process so I wanted to put it to the test I got all my blood work done before and I'm going to do all my blood work at the end and measure the length of my telomeres to see if this protocol actually works this will actually be the first time in history that someone has documented this anti-aging protocol as
0:46 it happens outside of clinical trials so what exactly is Hyperbaric and how does it work simplest explanation is you're getting into this chamber kind of like a submarine where it's pressurized and in that pressurized environment you're also breathing almost pure oxygen through a cannul that's strapped around your face so you sit in the chamber and you breathe this oxygen for anywhere from one hour to two hours with an absolute pressure ranging of anywhere from 1.5 to 3 atmospheres you know it's a very simple science Henry's law the physics gas Under Pressure enters a solution so you put the body under pressure and you breathe in extra oxygen through a mask that puts the oxygen into the plasma of the blood not just the red blood cells and that plasma perfuses five times deeper into tissues and oxygen is a
1:32 powerful anti-inflammatory and so now you're reducing systemic inflammation but you're also putting extra oxygen into the mitochondria of the cell and the mitochondria is known as the PowerHouse of the cell and it creates ATP and ATP is like the fuel of life it's the currency of your body it's every single cellular process relies on ATP all right I think I'm ready to go so I just finished my first mask break it's kind of cozy actually you just sit here and you breathe and I'm just getting some work done I'm just kind of just like a 90 minute deep work block I could see myself getting really addicted to this I'm back here at ATX hyperbarics and it's my second day I didn't really feel anything the first time but they say that it stacks on top of each other
2:18 right and like 20 sessions or so that's where you really start to see things change I'm just gonna use this time to kind of meditate rest think relax a little bit at the end of the day so we're getting to this chamber right here all right sounds good but why would I spend all this time going through the effort of making this video well I was very motivated in 2020 I got sick from this thing that shut down the world and at first it seemed fine it was just like a mild cold and then quickly things began to escalate 30 days later I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's and my body started to shut down I lost 10 pounds I started having panic attacks I was forgetting where I was and I was
3:04 starting to lose the vision in my right eye over the course of the next two years I spent over a hundred thousand dollars on different doctors treatments protocols therapies coaches anything and everything I could get my hands on to get my life back and slowly but surely it did start to come back I'm in pretty good shape now but I was still having some nagging symptoms and if I'm being honest I never truly returned to how I felt before I had heard that hyperbaric oxygen therapy could be a very beneficial treatment for these types of ailments the only problem was it was a serious commitment and in order to actually get the results I would have to do 60 90 minute sessions in a row but I've done crazier things before so I decided why not might as well try I just
3:49 got out nothing crazy but I feel lighter yeah like I'm able to actually do some stuff today so good so far so I'm in the middle of the air break right now I came in feeling pretty not great three quarters of the way through the session right now I'm happy to report that I'm feeling happy more motivated to uh to work on some things as I started to speak with everyone involved at ATX hyperbarics this name kept coming up Elijah Elijah have you talked to Elijah yet Elijah is a baby whose heart stopped for 43 minutes because he went without oxygen for so long he accrued a massive amount of brain damage and as a result was basically pronounced brain dead the doctors told sayum and Alicia that they had two options either one they could leave them on life support almost indefinitely Or number two they could
4:34 just unplug him and basically let him go somehow Through the Grapevine Sam had heard about this family and what was going on he flew the family out on his own dime put them up and put the baby in the chamber and started to do sessions every day with him kept doing sessions day after day after day and little by little he started to get better and better and better so if you feel inspired to contribute then Elijah does have a GoFundMe page where you can donate to help support the family day 20. I'm gonna jump in the chamber and get to it all set all set all right we'll see you soon thank you I've got my 21st session and as weird as it is to say I feel significantly better when you start researching hyperbarics on Google you're going to see all different types of stuff some miraculous healings but
5:20 also some very potential and real concerns key thing to remember is there really are a couple of different ways of doing hyperbaric oxygen therapy so for a very long time the idea was that you had to be in a pure oxygen environment so they would bring you up to you know to atmospheres of pressure by only pumping pure 100 oxygen into a chamber wearing jewelry or perfume all those things can contribute to the danger of potentially having a catastrophic explosion and that has happened in the United States but one thing they all have in common is operator error the way that we run and operate our Chambers here at ATX is we actually use the new style of chambers that a lot of even the hospitals are retrofitting their Chambers to work this way is that we've learned that gas exchange only occurs in the lungs we use
6:06 a non-rebreather oxygen mask so that's about 99 efficient at delivering 100 auction on breath if it's fitted properly today is day 22 session 22 my eye is definitely starting to heal my vision is getting better something I've been noticing is more mental Clarity and just like space in my head which is one of the main symptoms I've been experiencing in the brain fog so that's that's a good sign so basically right now there's rampant fraud happening in hyperbarics companies and Clinics are selling these soft shell Chambers as getting the same benefit that you can get from a hard shell which is just not the case the issue is there is a significant difference going at 1.3 atmospheres of pressure is not going to
6:51 get you the same result as 2.0 inflatable Chambers are only approved for one condition and that is altitude sickness my biggest resistance to committing to the 60 session protocol was time it is a lot of time but I started to realize as I did more and more chamber sessions that it was the perfect opportunity to do completely undisturbed deep work I couldn't do any meetings or talk on the phone so I ended up most of the time just working for the two hours that was inside the chamber and I also produced great work during that time because my mind was clearer than it's ever been when I was breathing in that pure oxygen so it wrapped up a training session at the gym and finished putting in all my sets and Reps and weight and something that I noticed is that I pr'd five times this workout I think that has a lot to
7:38 do with it I did a hyperbaric session this morning if I do a session in the morning and then I train later in the day my lifts seemingly go a lot higher it is day 39 I'm feeling really good definitely Energy's up mood is up mental Clarity is getting better vision is getting better everything's gotten better I feel definitely more like myself I feel more capable I feel like I can better and overall I can see that with another 20 sessions I'm going to feel amazing after I got my blood and telomere results back I schedule an appointment with Dr Womack who is a Harvard MD and an anti-aging expert the good news is over the course of the last couple years I've become extremely health conscious and I've started to slow down my speed of Aging quite a bit
8:23 the science of predicting the rate at which your aging is a developing science it is not established it is in its most accelerated growth phase and probably within five to seven years we're going to have a very good test but right now you actually were tested on a whole bunch of different markers the major one that's probably going to be it is pretty fantastic you're done didn't pay for aging is actually at less than one or 0.86 so you are aging for every year you're only aging 0.86 years at a time the bad news is I've accumulated a lot of damage over the years and my biological age is a lot older than I'd like it to be your hypergark was prompted by a crisis yes yes so during that crisis we're looking at your telomeres and your telomere age at that
9:10 time during this crisis was you're 29 years old but your age of your telomeres which are the little things at the end of your DNA that hold you together and keep you from accelerated aging we're at 46 years old so you had the shortening of your telomeres and we're hypothesizing that the time you spent in Hyperbaric is going to lengthen your tone and that's been scientifically showed in a population of 400 people second to last day of hyperbarics and I'm feeling kind of bittersweet it's been really really powerful sessions are continuing to get better and I feel a lot better when I get my blood work done in two weeks so excited to see how that looks too but um yeah it's coming to an end here definitely want to say on the record that between 50 and 60 sessions big difference game changers so if you're
9:57 considering it and thinking that this might be something good for you then I would sign up for 60 sessions as opposed to 40. the benefit has been way better for me in the late 50s as I was nearing the end of my 60 session protocol I was feeling significantly better but that could all be in my head and I was yet to see what the blood and telomere results actually were after speaking with Dr Womack again she explained to me that what we were seeing was nothing short of extraordinary the protocol did in fact lengthen my telomeres from 7.1 KBS to 7.2 KBS now this isn't that significant of a difference but she assured me that because I was young there's just not that much to lengthen the more significant anti-aging marker was the Dundon pace which slowed down from 0.86 to 0.8 meaning for every year that's
10:43 passing I'm only aging 0.8 years and it reduced my extrinsic and intrinsic age by two years meaning it literally turned back the Santa it also reduced my thyroid antibodies by 125 points which is the main marker for autoimmunity and on top of that it improved every other thyroid marker which is the thing that was most affected by the long vid I think Hyperbaric can be a powerful therapy if combined with the right diet lifestyle and medical intervention I think it can save a lot of lives but at the very least and a lot of suffering you know there really is no magic bullet to health but with the right experts the right technology and commitment I believe Miracles truly can happen take
11:30 care be well and I'll see you in the next one [Music]
