ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if more oxygen isn't always better?
In this episode of Root Causes, Vibrant Health, Elizabeth Tringali, PA-C, sits down with Dr. Jason Sonners, a leading researcher and educator in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), to explore how oxygen under pressure affects inflammation, cognitive function, cellular repair, and biological aging.
Drawing on his PhD research at the University of Miami and nearly two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Sonners challenges one of the biggest assumptions about hyperbaric therapy: that higher pressure always produces better results. His research reveals that different pressures can produce distinctly different biological responses, raising important questions about how HBOT protocols should be personalized.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why higher hyperbaric pressure isn't necessarily better
- What research reveals about HBOT, memory, cognitive function, and biological aging
- How hyperbaric oxygen may influence inflammation and mitochondrial function
- Why oxygen cycling and air breaks may support cellular repair
- What patients typically notice after 5, 10, 20, or more sessions
- How HBOT can be incorporated into personalized longevity protocols
- The science behind combining hyperbaric oxygen with IV therapy, red light therapy, and other regenerative treatments
- Common hyperbaric myths and what to consider before choosing a clinic
From brain health and neuroplasticity to the emerging science of epigenetics, this conversation explores the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy while emphasizing the importance of individualized protocols, appropriate dosing, and continued research.
