Your cells are starving. Not for food—but for oxygen.
In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Jason Sonners, leading expert in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and regenerative medicine, to explore how this cutting-edge tool is reshaping the future of molecular biology, epigenetics, and cellular optimization.
You’ll discover how pressurized oxygen therapy activates stem cell regeneration, reduces inflammation, and supports mitochondrial health, with major implications for cognitive function, recovery, and performance. Backed by new HBOT research (2025), Dr. Sonners breaks down how hyperbaric chamber science affects your longevity genes, and why both mild and high-pressure chambers matter more than you think.
This is biohacking hyperbaric therapy at its most advanced—stackable, trackable, and personalized. Whether you’re focused on oxygen therapy for longevity, reversing aging, or optimizing brain and body, this episode gives you the practical tools to upgrade your biology now.
You’ll Learn:
• How HBOT triggers stem cell regeneration and cellular repair
• Why mild-pressure chambers may be more effective than expected
• What hyperbaric oxygen therapy does to inflammation, brain fog, and biological aging
• How to stack HBOT with fasting, red light, and methylene blue
• What Dr. Sonners’ HBOT research (2025) reveals about oxygen pressure and genetic expression
• The truth about oxygen toxicity—and how to avoid common mistakes
• How elite performers use oxygen therapy for resilience, cognitive upgrades, and cellular health
