504: Hyperbaric Medicine with Dr. Scott Sherr

Hyperbaric chambers use pressure, and in some cases concentrated oxygen, to treat a wide variety of injuries and ailments. You've no doubt heard of high-level athletes using these treatments to speed up recovery, but you might not realize hyperbaric therapy is approved for 14+ medical conditions.

On this week's podcast, we'll explore the safe and simple use of pressurized therapy for reduced inflammation, oxygenation of plasma, fighting off infections, and more.

Listen and learn:

• How pressure increases oxygen-rich plasma for health and healing
• How pressure vasoconstricts and reduce inflammation
• Angiogenesis effects (new blood vessel formation)
• Appropriate use and pressure levels based on treatments
• Risks, rewards, and unknowns in regards to long-term use
