Send us a text

This week on The Less Stressed Life, we’re diving into the world of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and its incredible ability to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and support recovery from chronic conditions. Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine physician and HBOT specialist, explains how increasing oxygen under pressure stimulates stem cell growth, enhances mitochondrial function, and even aids in neurological recovery.

We break down the medical and emerging applications of HBOT, including its role in cancer care, traumatic brain injury, long COVID, autoimmune diseases, and even performance optimization. Dr. Sherr also shares insights on who should (and shouldn’t) use HBOT, how to get the most out of your sessions, and what to look for when considering at-home chambers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • How HBOT works to increase oxygenation, boost healing, and reduce inflammation
  • The 14 FDA-approved uses of HBOT (and why it’s still underutilized in conventional medicine)
  • How HBOT can enhance chemotherapy & radiation outcomes in cancer patients
  • The connection between oxygen therapy and brain health—including stroke, dementia & neuroplasticity
  • What to expect from HBOT sessions (including time commitment & cost)
