Healing with Oxygen: Dr. Eleanor Womack on Hyperbaric Medicine & Restoring Health

Truth & Justice League Podcast host, Mark Mueller, sits down with Dr. Eleanor Womack, a physician specializing in hyperbaric oxygen therapy and functional medicine.

Dr. Womack shares how she discovered hyperbaric oxygen therapy after years in clinical practice and why she believes oxygen is one of the most underutilized tools in modern medicine. She explains how hyperbaric treatment works at a cellular level, how increased oxygen availability supports healing, and why many chronic conditions struggle to improve without addressing foundational health.

The conversation explores:

• How hyperbaric oxygen therapy works in the body
• Why oxygen acts like a “healing budget” for cells
• FDA-approved vs. overlooked uses of hyperbaric treatment
• Chronic illness, inflammation, and prevention
• Chemical exposures and neurological conditions
• Why modern medicine often treats symptoms instead of systems
• The cultural shift needed to restore real health

This episode is a wide-ranging discussion about prevention, education, and reclaiming agency over our health. It offers discussion on why healing often starts long before disease is diagnosed.
