The OPTIprotocol

Our 6 or 12-week program follows a structured regimen to ensure optimal results:

Initial Assessments:

Our team conducts comprehensive assessments to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This phase includes consultations, evaluations, and an introduction to your prescribed program.

Protocol Activities:

Engage in carefully curated activities throughout the program. Our team monitors your progress throughout this phase and makes any necessary adjustments to maximize your outcomes. These components are designed to enhance each other in improving overall health and recovery.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT):

Involves breathing high concentrations of oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which increases oxygen delivery to tissues, enhances cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall healing.

Intermittent Hypoxia/Hyperoxia Training (IHHT) aka Exercise with Oxygen (EWOT)

Involves exercise while breathing alternating high and low levels of oxygen, increasing circulation, boosting energy, and improving endurance. This therapy supports faster recovery, enhanced cardiovascular health, and improved physical performance.

Photobiomodulation

Red light therapy that promotes cellular repair, increases blood flow, and works in concert with oxygen to enhance cellular energy production.

Neurofeedback

Brainwave dysregulation is common in PTSD and TBIs. This therapy focuses on normalizing thought patterns and helps retrain the brain to function more efficiently.

Health Coaching

Small lifestyle changes regarding diet, stress, and sleep can create enormous health benefits! We teach you how to make incremental lasting changes.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)

A vital coenzyme that supports cellular health and energy production. Given through an IV, this coenzyme works in concert with oxygen modalities and red light.

Amare Supplementation

A proven pre and probiotic, along with nootropics are started day one of the OPTIprotocol to enhance the gut microbiome promoting mood, well-being and gut-brain axis communication.

Concluding Steps:

We conduct a thorough battery of final assessments to evaluate your progress and provide you with strategies to maintain the benefits of your treatment and continue your journey to wellness.

Program Benefits for Veterans and First Responders

The combo HBOT/IHHT program helps increase stamina, strength, and overall physical endurance by enhancing oxygen delivery to muscles.
