Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Science-Backed Cellular Healing
For Chronic Conditions
At Olos, HBOT is used not as a standalone fix, but as a powerful tool to complement functional medicine—restoring oxygen to tissues, accelerating recovery, and helping your body remember how to heal.
What is HBOT?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive therapy that delivers 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing your lungs to absorb more oxygen than possible under normal conditions. This oxygen is then carried by your blood to reach damaged tissues, inflamed areas, and underperforming systems, where it supports healing at the cellular level.
It’s like giving your cells a deep breath of life.
How HBOT works in the body
HBOT has been used in hospitals for years to treat wounds, burns, and infections—at Olos, we use it as a tool for complex, chronic healing.
Increases oxygen delivery to areas with poor circulation or inflammation
Reduces inflammation and supports immune system regulation
Stimulates stem cell activity and tissue regeneration
Improves mitochondrial function (your body’s energy production centers)
Accelerates detoxification processes
Supports brain healing and neuroplasticity

A Natural Partner to Functional Medicine
Functional medicine lays the groundwork—addressing nutrition, detox, hormones, and gut health. But some bodies need an extra push to shift out of chronic stress and into repair.
That’s where HBOT comes in.
It helps create the physiological conditions needed for healing to occur—especially when inflammation is high or recovery is slow. When paired with personalized root-cause care, HBOT becomes a powerful catalyst for deeper, faster results.
HBOT May Support People Experiencing:
Long COVID and post-viral syndromes
Mold illness
Chronic fatigue and mitochondrial dysfunction
Autoimmune flares and systemic inflammation
Brain fog and cognitive issues
Hormonal imbalance and perimenopause transitions
Mood shifts and nervous system dysregulation
Slow post-infection or post-antibiotic recovery
Tissue healing after injury or surgery
Gut repair and microbiome support
Chronic lyme
What You Might Feel During and After HBOT
During your session, you’ll lie comfortably in a pressurized chamber and breathe normally. Many patients feel relaxed, even sleepy. You may experience mild ear pressure like on an airplane.
After a session, patients often report:
Mental clarity
Decreased pain or inflammation
Improved energy
A sense of calm and reset
Results compound over time, and each session builds on the last.
How HBOT Fits into Your Healing Plan
HBOT is not a standalone service at Olos—it’s a supportive therapy integrated into your personalized treatment plan.
It is often introduced after foundational functional medicine work (gut healing, detox, hormone support)
It may be recommended for specific conditions like Long COVID, chronic fatigue, or autoimmune dysregulation
You’ll be guided by Dr. Kat or a member of the Olos Team to determine the right timing and frequency
