Healing the Invisible Wounds: How OPTIVets is Supporting Veterans and First Responders this Veterans Day

“This Veterans Day, Healing Beyond the Surface: How OPTIVets is Making a Difference”

As we honor the sacrifices of our Veterans and First Responders this Veterans Day, it’s essential to reflect on their service and the unique challenges they face when they return home. Among the invisible wounds many carry are the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), which can profoundly impact their mental and physical well-being. At OPTIVets, we are on a mission to change the narrative of healing by addressing the root causes of these conditions — not just the symptoms — and helping our brave heroes live fuller, healthier lives.

What Makes OPTIVets Different?

Unlike traditional approaches that often focus on symptom management, the OPTIprotocol takes a holistic, multi-modality approach that directly targets the physical and chemical changes caused by PTSD and TBI. By employing cutting-edge therapies like hyperbaric oxygen therapy, neurofeedback, NAD+ IV hydration therapy, and photobiomodulation (red light therapy), we work at the cellular level to heal the brain and improve overall quality of life.

The Veterans and First Responders we work with have already paid a significant price to protect us — and we believe they should not be forced to pay that price again in the form of mental health struggles. That’s why we’ve developed a protocol to provide fast, lasting results focusing on total body wellness.

Treating the Root Causes, Not Just the Symptoms

PTSD and TBI are complex conditions that create both physical and chemical changes in the brain. These injuries disrupt everything from brain function to emotional regulation, often leading to anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and cognitive impairments. For many veterans and first responders, traditional therapies simply don’t offer lasting relief. At OPTIVets, we are laser-focused on healing the brain by addressing these fundamental issues.

Here’s how our OPTIprotocol works:

  1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Improves oxygen delivery to the brain and accelerates healing at the cellular level, promoting recovery from traumatic brain injuries.
  2. Intermittent Hyperoxic/Hypoxic Training: A specialized approach that increases oxygen levels to stimulate brain recovery and energy production.
  3. Neurofeedback: A non-invasive way to train the brain to function better by helping it to self-regulate, reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
  4. NAD+ IV Hydration Therapy: Enhances mitochondrial function, boosting energy production in the brain and body and aiding in cellular repair and detoxification.
  5. Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation): Promotes healing by increasing blood flow and cellular energy, helping repair brain tissue and improve brain function.

Gut-Brain Axis Healing Supplements: These supplements support brain function by balancing the gut microbiome, which has a profound impact on mental health, reducing brain fog, improving mood, and alleviating anxiety.

The Results Speak for Themselves

The results we see from Veterans and First Responders completing the 12-week OPTIprotocol are nothing short of transformative. On average, participants report:

  • Significant Reduction in PTSD and Depression Scores: Our participants’ PTSD (PCL-5) and depression (PHQ-9) scores fall below the clinical threshold after just 12 weeks, reflecting real, measurable improvements.
  • Improved Sleep Quality: Sleep is foundational to mental and physical health, and veterans in our program have seen their average nightly sleep increase from just 4 hours to 7-8 hours with around 40% restorative sleep.
  • Reduced Brain Fog & Increased Energy: Our protocol reduces brain fog, enhances mental clarity, and increases energy levels by boosting cellular function and improving brain health.

A Cost-Effective, Holistic Solution

While the cost of traditional mental health treatments can add up, the average cost for a veteran or first responder to complete our 12-week (60-session) OPTIprotocol is $17,500 — or about $300/day. This comprehensive approach to healing, which targets the root causes of PTSD and TBI, is not only more effective but more cost-efficient than many conventional therapies.

Moreover, our clinic is committed to offering these life-changing treatments to as many Veterans and First Responders as possible. We aim to expand our reach and provide these services to even more needy heroes until we can open new clinics in other regions.
