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!
