The Wellness Tool Nobody is Talking About (but Should be)

A deep dive into hyperbaric oxygen, performance stacking, and my full home recovery setup.

Today, I want to walk you into a chamber. Not a courtroom. Not a sauna. A chamber that has quietly become one of the most powerful wellness tools I’ve added to my daily routine—my hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

Now before you picture some futuristic medical pod from a sci-fi movie, let me break it down for you. This isn’t just for pro athletes or hospitals anymore. This is for people like us—parents, business owners, gym rats, health explorers, and anyone trying to live sharper, longer, and more energized lives.

I’ve been using my chamber most days, and it’s become a game-changer in how I recover, how I sleep, and how I perform mentally. So in today’s edition of The Good Stuff, I’m giving you the ultimate guide to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)—what it is, how it works, why I chose the Vitaeris 320, and how you can stack it with your other wellness tools to get real, lasting results.

What Is HBOT (and Why Should You Care)?

Your body runs on oxygen. Every cell—from your muscles to your brain—needs it to survive and thrive. Most of the time, your red blood cells act like delivery trucks, picking up oxygen in your lungs and dropping it off all over your body.

But those trucks have limits. Especially when you're stressed, inflamed, injured, or just pushing your body hard in the gym or in life.

Enter: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).

In a hyperbaric chamber, the air pressure is increased (think of being underwater 10–15 feet deep), and you breathe in concentrated oxygen (or free floating). That combination forces more oxygen into your plasma—the liquid part of your blood. So instead of only relying on those delivery trucks, now the entire river is filled with oxygen. It gets deeper, goes farther, and fuels every part of your system.

You’re not just recharging. You’re super-recharging!

The Real Benefits of HBOT

When your plasma is saturated with oxygen, your body starts doing what it was always designed to do—but faster and better:

  • More cellular energy (ATP) so you feel clear, sharp, and focused

  • Faster recovery from workouts, injuries, or illness

  • Less inflammation, which helps almost every system in your body

  • Better circulation, with new blood vessels growing where needed (angiogenesis)

  • Stronger immune function and detox support

  • Brain boost, including support for mental clarity and memory

  • More stem cells—your body’s “builders” for healing and regeneration

Think of HBOT like turning on floodlights in a dark, burned-out part of the city. It doesn’t just make things brighter—it powers up the whole grid again.

Free-Floating Oxygen vs. Oxygen Mask: What’s the Difference?

This is a common question, and a really important one.

Option 1: Wearing an Oxygen Mask

This is more of a clinical setup. You wear a mask or nasal cannula, and 100% pure oxygen is pumped directly into your lungs. These setups often operate at higher pressures and are ideal for treating wounds, infections, radiation damage, or post-surgical healing.

Best for: acute or medical needs.

Option 2: Free-Floating Oxygen (No Mask)

This is what I use. The whole chamber is filled with free floating, or high-concentration oxygen (usually 40–90%), and you just breathe normally. No tubes. No mask. Just relaxed, natural breathing in a pressurized, oxygen-rich environment.

Best for: daily wellness, recovery, brain health, longevity, and performance.

Why I prefer free-floating:

  • It’s more relaxing and sustainable

  • Easier to stack with reading, napping, breath-work, or quiet time

  • Still drives oxygen into plasma effectively

You don’t need to crank it to 11 to get the benefits. Just consistent, calm sessions that build over time.

Why I Chose the Vitaeris 320

There are a ton of chambers out there, and I researched several before choosing the one that fit my goals and lifestyle. For my home wellness setup, I went with the Vitaeris 320, and I haven’t looked back.

Here’s why:

  • Spacious and comfortable—I can actually relax, stretch, or even bring a book or red light panel inside. Me and my wife have done a bunch of tandem sessions and its been a great date spot too!

  • No mask needed—perfect for free-floating oxygen sessions.

  • Great pressure level for wellness (1.3 ATA)—safe, effective, and doesn’t require medical supervision.

  • Quiet and easy to use—it’s not loud or complicated. I use it almost every evening. The kids use it too!

I chose this because I wanted something that fits real life. Something my wife or kids could use too. And something that’s built with quality. The Vitaeris checked every box.

How I Stack HBOT With Other Tools

Now let’s talk integration—because using HBOT on its own is amazing, but combining it with other recovery and optimization tools? That’s where the real magic happens.

My Daily Flow:

Morning: Red Light Therapy on a Vibe Plate (10–15 min)

  • Wakes up my cells and sets my circadian rhythm

  • Boosts mitochondrial function and testosterone

  • Easy to stack with prayer, journaling, or breath-work

Midday: Sauna (20–30 min at 170–220°F)

  • Triggers heat shock proteins and detoxes through sweat

  • Feels like a mental reset halfway through the day

  • Sometimes paired with contrast therapy (most of the time actually)

Evening: HBOT (60–90 min at 1.3 ATA)

  • Deep oxygenation and recovery

  • Great for inflammation, brain clarity, and sleep quality

  • Feels like pressing the reset button on the day

Bonus: Peptides and Supplements

I also stack HBOT with targeted peptides and supplements to maximize cellular repair and regeneration.

Peptides I would use pre-HBOT: (not advice, but looks promising)

  • BPC-157 – great for gut, joint, and tissue healing

  • TB-500 – helps with systemic inflammation and recovery

  • GHK-Cu – amazing for skin, tissue, and overall cellular repair

  • CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin – stimulates growth hormone, ideal for evening HBOT

  • Semax or Selank – nootropic sprays that pair beautifully with oxygen for focus and mood

Supplements I would stack:

  • NAC or glutathione precursors for oxidative stress

  • Vitamin C to support immune function and antioxidants

  • Magnesium + omega-3s for recovery and inflammation

  • Beetroot or nitric oxide boosters to enhance oxygen flow pre-session

HBOT is like the amplifier—whatever good you put in, it helps push deeper into your tissues and systems. If you take TRT, its also a good idea to take before HBOT. We use Blokes and Joi for these services, if you are lost, try them out HERE.

Who Should Consider HBOT?

  • You’re training hard and want faster recovery

  • You’re a parent or entrepreneur who needs more energy and focus

  • You deal with chronic inflammation or fatigue

  • You want to slow aging, improve sleep, or boost longevity

  • You’re building a wellness room or home gym setup

  • If you just want to flex that you have the same HBOT as Lebron James

It’s a safe, powerful way to oxygenate your life—literally.

Final Thoughts

Your body is already designed to heal, repair, and optimize itself. You just have to give it the right environment. HBOT creates that environment.

When you stack it with light, heat, movement, breath, clean food, and good sleep—you create a daily rhythm that builds resilience, sharpens your edge, and helps you feel fully alive.

The best part? You don’t have to be a doctor, celebrity, or pro athlete to access this anymore. It’s here. It’s real. And it’s ready for anyone willing to invest in themselves.

Breathe deep, friends. Your cells are listening.

Thanks for reading! Have a great day, and God Bless!
