While it may seem like you have only just heard about Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT), many prominent athletes and high-profile stars across the globe have been using and promoting mHBOT for years.
Once only available in a medical setting as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or ‘HBOT’ (note the missing ‘m’ for mild), this game-changing therapy has been approved for use in health and wellness centres, spas and clinics globally, where it is used by professional athletes, celebrities and biohackers alike to improve their state of wellbeing and high performance.
From Justin Bieber, who uses mHBOT for his mental health, to golfing star Tiger Woods who uses it to improve his wellbeing and injury recovery, what is it these high performers are getting out of upping the ante on their oxygen? The answer involves all 11 of the body’s organ systems, and getting them functioning at an optimum level thanks to improved oxygen intake.
All systems go — the many benefits of oxygen therapy
While it’s not hard to imagine that oxygen therapy benefits bodily systems like your respiratory system (lungs, trachea or ‘windpipe’, bronchi etc.) and circulatory system (blood, heart, blood vessels), the benefits can be felt across all of the body’s other systems too, such as the nervous system, digestive system and immune system.
From bathing cells and tissues in oxygen-rich blood to re-energising areas recovering from trauma or injury, mHBOT results in extra oxygen entering every tissue of the body and brain.
Over time, this can mean a reduction in wrinkles, age spots, damaged skin cells, and sagging skin, along with shorter recovery times between sports injuries. And because oxygen is pushed deep into the tissues during hyperbaric treatment, mHBOT can alleviate migraines, fatigue, and nausea, which many people across the population suffer from (whether self-induced or not).
‘All I want is mHBOT’
Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber is not alone using mHBOT to benefit his mental health. This modality is well-recognised for supporting overall wellbeing, but can be particularly effective in treating some forms of depression and anxiety by flooding the body with additional oxygen, which supports the healing of damaged brain tissues, reduces inflammation, improves blood flow, and can in turn, reduce symptoms of anxiety.
While the early adopters of mHBOT technology were met largely with scepticism and disbelief, it is starting to gain the traction it deserves in wellness and high-performance circles. Biohackers like author of The 4 Hour Workweek, Tim Ferris, as well as so-called ‘Father of Biohacking’, Dave Asprey, have featured mHBOT on their popular podcasts, beamed into the lives of millions of listeners.
Increasingly, there are also many innovative and state-of-the-art clinics, spas and wellness centres around the world who are now offering mHBOT technology, in the form of luxury AirPods, as meeting places for biohackers, everyday wellness experts and high performers alike.
Celebrating the extraordinary, every day
Whilst it’s exciting to hear of world-famous athletes, celebrities and pioneering biohackers enjoying the incredible benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it’s equally as exciting to hear stories of everyday people using AirPods to support their wellness and healing journeys.
Over the coming months, we look forward to sharing more of these wellness stories and introducing you to some seriously inspiring people who are taking their wellness into their own hands.
