294. Dr. Deep Sea: Hyperbaric Chamber Benefits Nobody Explains Correctly

“Joe Rogan was talking about you on a podcast. He's like, you ever see this guy? This dude like lived under the ocean for like 100 days in a hyperbaric chamber. He pulls up your story. And I've gotten to be good friends with Joe.”

“and I'm invested a lot in hyperbarics. Personally, I'd rather have a hyperbaric chamber than a Ferrari because I don't have a car problem or a watch problem. I have a biohacking problem. That's why I keep telling my wife, I have a little biohacking addiction.”

“hypoxic chamber. And that means that you take a hyperbaric chamber and you provide the subject with oxygen deprivation and then oxygen excess.”

“And then, you know, a lot of these chambers, 1.5, two atmospheres. So as you increase the pressure in a hyperbaric chamber, what's happening physiologically to the body aside from the gas getting smaller? So look, you cannot, you cannot squish the human body, right?”

“You know, we were talking about hydrogen gases. Everybody's like, oh, let's stack modalities. I'm like, please don't do it inside a hyperbaric chamber. Yeah, not in a chamber. No. Let's put hydrogen and red light in a hyperbaric chamber. I'm like, no, no, don't do that. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I do them separately or in sequence.”

“You got to do it safely. In a sealed. Rebreather. Yeah, some sort of a rebreather, recirculator. We call it a BIBS mask in a hyperbaric chamber, built-in breathing system. You got to have that kind of a thing. Yeah. For 90 minutes, I'm like, get this thing off my face. You know, I don't know.”

“And then where does all that exhaled oxygen go? Right into the hyperbaric chamber, which is only designed for air, not oxygen. So just, you know. Ah, yeah. So you don't want your exhaled oxygen-filled gas touching any of the stuff in the chamber.”

“We don't work out inside a hyperbaric chamber because bad things can happen with heat and movement and bearings and stuff like that and batteries and blah, blah, blah, blah, right? So everything's got to be right in the hyperbaric chamber. In the hypobaric chamber, all bets are off, right? Because there's no risk of fire because there's less oxygen.”

“know in the hyperbaric chamber, bad, bad juju, right? Take a class, learn, get your learn on and understand it, which, like I said, you should be lauded because you're doing that.”

“like nobody can have it in their garage like you and I do. But, you know, it's two hours out of your day. Who's got two hours in their day to go to a hyperbaric chamber for 40 times? Yeah. That's two months of your life. You're never getting back. Right. So not a lot of people have it. So patient compliance winds up being a real problem.”

“And in the unlikely event, it has a problem on an airplane. The problem with that is you're sealed inside a hyperbaric chamber. So if you have a device in there and something goes wrong with it, you can't get out. And people like, well, when you were underwater, Joe, you had a computer.”

“Well, like, how much do you take a break? So you take a break from your phone, I hope, right? In the hyperbaric chamber, right? You take a break from your phone. Guys, you need a break from your damn phone. Your phone is causing most of these problems. This electromagnetic interference. I mean, there's a whole conspiracy theory behind all that, right?”

“But when can I do it? I can only do it in the morning. That's the time that I have the person watching me because somebody always watches me in the hyperbaric chamber. I'm not a, you know, not do as I say, not as I do. No, that's not me. Right. So somebody's watching me and the only time they can watch me is in the morning.”

“You say more is better. And it's just a funny, funny joke because I treat a bunch of military guys, right? And these guys come in and they're like, I can do five minutes. I can do seven minutes. I can do 12 minutes. I can do these kids were up to 18 minutes in the ice bath. And I'm like, and we do 32 degrees, right?”

“This is. I am. And then we did ice bath and red light therapy and you know, beam that. So we did a whole novel combination where we have the key. We have literally the click, right? Here it is. It's right here.”

“But all these hormetic stressors put together, all that stress that you want to put on your body when you go to the gym, when you go to the ice bath, when you go to the red light, all the, all those stressors, man, all that stuff is actually good for you. So when you do that, you can make the mitochondria more efficient.”

“And that is the impetus of every single thing that I've done since then, right? The hyperbaric oxygen, the ice baths, the saunas, the neurofeedback therapy, the cognitive behavioral therapy, structural energetic therapy, all that stuff came from my traumatic brain injury because I needed to fix myself.”

“Do you recall the nanometer wavelengths you're using? No, okay, so using the red light therapy, uh, sauna, yep, uh, ice bath. Are you um going uh sauna, hype uh, sauna to ice bath? Sona, no, not doing the back and forth, but we just did the one, right?”

“Then drink water, then do your red light, then do ice bath, then do yeah, it's it's hard because I don't like to do the ice bath and the sauna before and after one another. I like to give that space, that's my personal opinion. I do the ice bath in the morning, I do sauna night before bed.”

“dry off, I allow myself to cool off in a shower. I don't do the ice bath, or maybe I'll do one 15 to 30 seconds to bring my temperature down a little bit. I sleep so much better. It's like a secret sleep hack.”

“Repeating as necessary. And I take those deep because look, everybody, when they do ice bath, they do the whole, ha, ha, ha, ha. But what's this? This is sympathetic nervous system. This is parasympathetic nervous system. So I want to relax.”

“So hypoxia, hyperoxia, you know, red light therapy is a hormetic stress. You know, we have cold plunge. We have the saunas, right? We have several of these things. The hormetic stress from eating the right kind of food that is stressed, right? Like, what's the best tasting strawberry?”

“This far, right? This far. Yeah. It's not good to bake it. It's not good to fry it. Not good to bake it. Why do you think they wear hats inside the sauna for crying out loud? Come on. I do the same thing. So again, the more is not... Not better. So soft chamber is great. Yeah. Hard chambers. It works.”

“And that is the impetus of every single thing that I've done since then, right? The hyperbaric oxygen, the ice baths, the saunas, the neurofeedback therapy, the cognitive behavioral therapy, structural energetic therapy, all that stuff came from my traumatic brain injury because I needed to fix myself.”

“other therapies, yeah. So, red light, red light, sauna, um, and and red light. Do you recall the nanometer wavelengths you're using? No, okay, so using the red light therapy, uh, sauna, yep, uh, ice bath.”

“Like, let's let's not overkill it, right? So, sauna, 20 minutes, you know, something how are you stacking these modalities? Are they on alternate days? So, hyperbaric is consistent five days on, right? No, yeah, hyperbarics is five days on, hypobarics is five days on.”

“Then drink water, then do your red light, then do ice bath, then do yeah, it's it's hard because I don't like to do the ice bath and the sauna before and after one another. I like to give that space, that's my personal opinion. I do the ice bath in the morning, I do sauna night before bed.”

“But I got back and I did red light. I did about 25 minutes in the sauna. Yeah. Took a cool shower. Didn't want to cool myself off too much. Took a cool shower, went to bed and pegged a 97% sleep score and 97% recovery.”

“Felt amazing the next day. Holy girl. And I noticed that when I do sauna close to bedtime, dry off, I allow myself to cool off in a shower.”

“So hypoxia, hyperoxia, you know, red light therapy is a hormetic stress. You know, we have cold plunge. We have the saunas, right? We have several of these things. The hormetic stress from eating the right kind of food that is stressed, right? Like, what's the best tasting strawberry?”

“And I mean, that's the objective, right? It's the same with like red light therapy, with cold plunging, with all of these things. More is not better. No. Colder and longer is not better. Longer in a red light bed, higher milliwatts of irradiance.”

“hormetic stresses, which are free, um, when you expose yourself to cold water. I talk about it all the time. I'm like, you don't even need to spend whatever seven to 10 grand on a cold plunge. You can cold shower, three to five minutes, you're done, right? Like, let's let's not overkill it, right? So, sauna, 20 minutes, you know, something how are you stacking these modalities?”

“Is there an ideal pressure? Is there an ideal oxygen saturation? Because, you know, like I have a soft chamber in my bedroom. It goes to about 1.3-ish. I've got hard shell in the gym that'll go to two atmospheres. I think it'll go higher. I think it's governed to two atmospheres.”

“Getting in a hyperbaric chamber, soft chamber, let's say that goes to 1.3 atmospheres. What are some of the benefits of that? I mean, more and more people are putting these in their house. They're getting these certified chambers, doing an hour and 90 minutes a day.”

“So again, the more is not better. So soft chambers, great. Hard chambers. It works. I mean, is it great? Is it going to cure your, you know, your aseptic bone necrosis? Nope. Soft chamber will not do that. But can it help you double your stem cells? Yes, we have the science behind that. Can it help you fix, heal better? Yeah, it can, you know, but we don't have a lot of detail in there.”

“and taking beta-hydroxybutyrate to induce ketosis and remain in a ketotic state and then do hyperbaric oxygen on top of that without chemotherapy to shrink tumors.”

“And it looks good, especially with the beta-hydroxybutyrate in combination. Look, ketone body. Yeah, ketone bodies, right? So oxygen is not helpful to cancer, right?”

“This isn't rocket science, we just know the mechanism of action and we try and apply it, right? So, you know, when you're looking in the hypoxic state, oxygen deprivation, what we're doing is an altitude chamber. So, you made the comment earlier about people in the long-living zones being in the higher altitudes.”

“Yeah, I love that. I love that too. And it's hard to describe. I get the same thing when I talk about this a lot too, just putting on a rucksack, putting this little Aion. I'm wearing one now, this weighted vest. I have one that I use for working out. And I have this little three and a half mile loop through the woods, 10,500 feet.”

“It's one of the, you know, it's one of the mechanisms of action. So, okay, if you're feeding that and you're doing chemo, you probably don't want to do drugs like cisplatinum or disulfrum because those are too absolutely known that they are made much worse in hyperbaric oxygen.”

“I'd be drinking gel and I don't even drink. So it wasn't like that. We were really doing science. I mean, literally, while I was underwater, I'd wake up every morning at five o'clock and I used to drink coffee. Like I told you, I don't drink coffee anymore, but two or three cups of coffee would be my staple.”

“Underwater, 60 to 66% in deep and REM. Wow. Every single person that came down with an Apple Watch or an Oura ring or a Fitbit or whatever the heck they had, they all correlated almost exactly, 50 to 60%. So people would come stay with you.”

“So again, the more is not better. So soft chambers, great. Hard chambers. It works. I mean, is it great? Is it going to cure your, you know, your aseptic bone necrosis? Nope. Soft chamber will not do that. But can it help you double your stem cells?”

“I'm putting these in all my ultimate longevity centers. I think they're a fantastic manufacturer. You created and designed a one of a kind, at least today, it's one of a kind, hyperoxic, hypoxic chamber. And that means that you take a hyperbaric chamber and you provide the subject with oxygen deprivation and then oxygen excess.”

“More is not better. No. Colder and longer is not better. Longer in a red light bed, higher milliwatts of irradiance. There's therapeutic ranges that the body responds to. And just get that dose and move on. Get your benefit and move on.”

“Hey, listen, I want to learn a little bit on this. Yeah. Please. I really do. I mean, I want to do it right. I mean, you know, obviously I'd love to be in there with my red light masks and my hydrogen running an NADIV, you know, on my PEMF mats.”

“Right. Everybody's looking for the quick fix pill. Yeah. It's not going to be a resveratrol or an NED or you got to work. The ultimate human works, right? Like I see what you do here. You walk around this place. You live it. Oh, yeah.”

“That's way lower than aspirin. That's way lower than Tylenol. That's way lower than any of these other drugs, right? So it is not dangerous if done correctly, right? Like when you start to combine hydrogen and putting your red light therapy in and doing all the stupid things that you know in the hyperbaric chamber, bad, bad juju, right?”

“I'm wearing one now, this weighted vest. I have one that I use for working out. And I have this little three and a half mile loop through the woods, 10,500 feet. Come back. I drop that thing on the deck and I'm like, I feel like I found the messiah.”
