Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Healthy Aging/Wellness
The aging process involves an ongoing decline in functions and increased risk for diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. The aging process can be measured at the cellular level by the gradual shortening of telomeres, which are responsible for maintaining stability and the cell’s activity. Telomeres get shorter each time a cell copies itself. Eventually, they become too short to do their job and stop working, become inactive, or die. A short telomere length can be a result of genetics but can also be caused by stress, decreased physical endurance, excessive BMI, smoking, chronic inflammation, vitamin deficiency and oxidative stress. Once a cell stops dividing, it is considered a senescent cell. A buildup of inactive or senescent cells can cause disease. By delaying the telomeres from shortening, you can delay the aging process.

Our Approach to Healthy Aging/Wellness
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy decreases inflammation, oxygenates the entire body, stimulates the growth of new healthy blood vessels, stimulates collagen growth, increases antioxidant defense and releases stem cells, up to 800% more after twenty sessions. Research has shown that HBOT significantly increases the length of telomeres by over 20% and decreases the senescent cells by 10-37%. Research has also shown that a decline in cognition can begin as early as the 30th decade of life and that the brain uses 20% of the body’s oxygen. HBOT increases cerebral blood flow which can improve cognition, including attention, information processing speed and executive functioning. HBOT can also help with physical signs of aging by protecting against musculoskeletal degeneration by inhibiting bone and muscle loss, improving insulin sensitivity, and has a beneficial impact on the heart as aging progresses.
