IN THEIR WORDS...
" There was no way I could have made it through an exercise class when I started. I slowly built up my endurance over 2 months using oxygen therapy & now I'm in regular group sessions!"

This simple 15 minutes of low impact cardio (i.e.walking on a treadmill) while breathing 8-10LPM of pure O2 can change your life!
The body’s ability to transfer oxygen (O2) from the blood to the cells is the most significant factor in staying well and not aging. As we get older, this process slows down and we are not getting all the oxygen to the cell that is necessary to sustain homeostasis and so the cells (mitochondria) die or decay and our energy wanes. Our therapeutic, cardio and breathing exercises in Anchorage are designed to limit this process.
Here are some of the things that Oxygen therapy can do:
Enhanced Physical Performance
-
Increased Endurance: Higher oxygen levels can improve endurance by supplying muscles with more oxygen, reducing fatigue, and enhancing stamina.
-
Improved Recovery: Oxygen aids in faster recovery post-exercise by reducing lactic acid buildup and muscle soreness.
-
Greater Strength: Enhanced oxygen delivery can support muscle function and strength.
Cardiovascular Health
-
Improved Circulation: Oxygen therapy can enhance blood flow and circulation, benefiting overall cardiovascular health.
-
Heart Health: By improving oxygenation, it can support heart function and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Respiratory Benefits
-
Enhanced Lung Function: Regular EWOT can improve lung capacity and efficiency, beneficial for those with respiratory conditions.
-
Increased Oxygen Uptake: It helps in maximizing the oxygen intake and utilization by the body.
Cognitive Benefits
-
Better Mental Clarity: Increased oxygen levels can enhance brain function, leading to improved focus, concentration, and mental clarity.
-
Reduced Brain Fog: Helps in reducing symptoms of brain fog and mental fatigue.
Cellular and Metabolic Benefits
-
Enhanced Detoxification: Oxygen therapy supports the detoxification process by aiding in the removal of toxins at the cellular level.
-
Improved Metabolism: Enhanced oxygen levels can boost metabolic processes, supporting weight loss and energy production.
Immune System Support
-
Stronger Immune Function: Oxygen therapy can enhance the immune system's ability to fight off infections and diseases.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: It can help reduce inflammation throughout the body, aiding in the management of chronic conditions.
Anti-Aging and Skin Health
-
Improved Skin Health: Better oxygenation can improve skin tone and texture, promoting a healthier and more youthful appearance.
-
Slowed Aging Process: Enhanced oxygen delivery to tissues can slow down the aging process by supporting cellular regeneration and repair.
Overall Well-Being
-
Increased Energy Levels: Regular use of EWOT can lead to sustained higher energy levels throughout the day.
-
Enhanced Mood: Oxygen therapy can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Rehabilitation and Chronic Disease Management
-
Support in Chronic Conditions: Beneficial for managing chronic diseases such as COPD, asthma, and cardiovascular diseases by improving oxygen availability.
-
Rehabilitation Aid: Supports rehabilitation from injuries and surgeries by enhancing tissue repair and recovery.
​
Incorporating exercise with oxygen into a regular fitness routine can offer these wide-ranging health benefits, supporting both physical and mental well-being. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new therapy, especially if you have underlying health conditions.​​

"My interest in various oxygen therapies began In 1986 when I travelled to Germany and Austria to visit medical clinics that were utilizing ozone to patients. I observed first hand the powerful effects of administering both oxygen (02) and ozone (03) to patients in providing miracle like results to those with end stage cancer, chronic arthritis, circulatory/heart problems, dementia, emphysema, antibiotic resistant infections and chronic fatigue. My road to certification in these therapies led me to many of the experts in this field: Dr William Campbell Douglas, Dr Robert Rowen (who enticed me to Alaska in 1989 because of his ozone expertise) and Dr Frank Shallenberger-all have written about the benefits of ozone and EWOT. They all emphasize the importance of not waiting until you get one or more of these conditions before doing something about it; but rather taking steps toward prevention before you acquire one of these labels. I believe EWOT is one of the most effective interventions one can do to restore the damage that comes with aging, poor lifestyle choices, the adverse effects of medications, surgeries, chemotherapy
or radiation. Getting more oxygen to the cells of your body and brain enhance athletic abilities, improve cognitive function, mood and sleep.
​
Over the years I’ve written prescriptions for patients to get an oxygen tank and nasal cannula to use while exercising for 10 minutes. The problem was the highest concentration that was available was 3L/min and some of that could be lost around the cannula. Then I learned that the company I got my ozone machine and supplies from offered a machine with a special mask that would allow 10 L of oxygen to be inhaled. Hooray! However, as important as I knew EWOT is to my patients, I had a dilemma. I had no extra room in my clinic! Since I’m a solution oriented rather than problem focused person I began looking for other avenues to bring this therapy to Alaskans and (my ulterior motive) me :). I decided to collaborate with Bonnie Murphy at Bfitandwell in Anchorage. Bonnie is the first certified functional aging specialist in Anchorage. By the way, her associate Marisa Van Dyke is an occupational therapist is also certified FAS). I felt EWOT was in alignment with both of our goals: helping folks get out of pain, reclaim their health and lead more active lives!So, who can benefit from EWOT? EVERYONE If you are still breathing and moving (even in a wheelchair) you can do EWOT.
