In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down the science behind hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and why it’s becoming one of the most talked-about tools in healing, recovery, brain health, and longevity.

He explains how hyperbaric oxygen therapy works, the difference between mild and higher-pressure chambers, and how oxygen and pressure impact mitochondria, stem cells, inflammation, circulation, and tissue repair.

Dr. Hines also discusses the growing research around HBOT for brain health, recovery, chronic inflammation, and healthy aging while clearing up common misconceptions around dosing, pressure, and treatment protocols.
