#23 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Benefits, Safety & Who Should Avoid It - Dr. Scott Sherr, MD

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Scott Sherr, MD, about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and its applications for health conditions, recovery, and athletic performance. We explore the physiological mechanisms and science behind hyperbaric therapy, discuss which patients may benefit most, and cover important contraindications. Dr. Sherr explains the value of an integrative approach to health, including optimizing nutrition and metabolomics before beginning treatment. We also examine how hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be combined with other interventions such as ketogenic diets, cold therapy, and stress management strategies targeting the GABA system.
