Episode Details

Could some of the changes we associate with aging actually involve declining oxygen utilization?

In Episode 147 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley speaks with Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, about Exercise With Oxygen Therapy—better known as EWOT.

Brad’s interest in EWOT began during his own struggle with cancer, autoimmune illness, chronic Lyme disease, Bartonella, chronic fatigue, severe foot pain, and declining mobility. After trying numerous approaches without meaningful improvement, he used his mechanical-engineering background to build an EWOT system of his own.

Brad explains what he experienced after using the system consistently, why he believes oxygen utilization deserves more attention, and how that personal journey led him to establish One Thousand Roads.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What EWOT is and how a typical session works

• Why concentrated oxygen is combined with exercise

• How oxygen utilization may change with age and inflammation

• The proposed relationship between circulation, capillaries, oxygen, and cellular energy

• How EWOT differs from ordinary supplemental oxygen

• EWOT compared with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBOT

• Whether the benefits come from oxygen, exercise, or both

• What an EWOT session may feel like

• Which forms of exercise can be used with EWOT

• Why sessions commonly last approximately 15 minutes

• How often Brad recommends using EWOT

• What to consider when comparing EWOT systems

• The difference between 5-liter and 10-liter oxygen concentrators

• Why reservoir capacity, mask quality, component safety, and customer support matter

• How EWOT may be combined with red light therapy

• Potential applications involving exercise performance, recovery, VO2 max, healthy aging, and chronic health challenges

• Why EWOT should not be presented as a cure for cancer or other diseases
