How to Combine Supplements with Hyperbaric Therapy Safely | ft. Dr. Paul Anderson

In this episode of the How to Hyperbaric Podcast, Dr. Masha Makeeva speaks with integrative medicine expert Dr. Paul Anderson about one of the most common questions patients ask when using hyperbaric oxygen therapy: Can supplements be combined with HBOT without reducing its benefits?You’ll discover:• Whether supplements or antioxidants can interfere with hyperbaric oxygen therapy• The key difference between oral supplements and IV nutrients when used with HBOT• The foundational supplements Dr. Anderson most often recommends for patients • How molecular hydrogen may support recovery and chronic illness• Why combining too many therapies at once can sometimes overwhelm the body instead of helping it healThis conversation also challenges a common belief in modern wellness culture: that the more therapies you stack, the better the results. But what if the opposite is sometimes true? Dr. Anderson explains why combining too many treatments can quietly overwhelm the body and how to choose therapies you actually need. 📌 Learn more from Dr. Paul Anderson on his website: https://dranow.com/ 👩🏻‍⚕️ Book your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy consultation with Dr. Masha: https://drmasha.com/consult-with-me/📚 Join the HBOT Certification Waitlist here 👉 http://eepurl.com/jlTZG-/ Get early access + special free bonuses insideTimestamps:00:00 INTRO00:53 Can Supplements Be Combined with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?05:05 Timing Principles for Combining Oral Supplements with HBOT06:28 Timing Principles for Combining IV Nutrients with HBOT11:21 "What If I Take Antioxidants Before Going into a Hyperbaric Chamber?

In this episode of the How to Hyperbaric Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Joe Watso, assistant professor at Florida State University and director of the Cardiovascular and Applied Physiology Laboratory.We break down the science of VO2 max, one of the strongest predictors of longevity and overall health. Dr. Watso explains what VO2 max actually measures, why it reflects far more than just fitness, and how it connects to cardiovascular function, lung capacity, mitochondrial health, and long-term independence.We discuss how VO2 max is properly measured in a laboratory setting, how to get an estimate at home, how accurate wearable estimates really are, and how often it makes sense to test it. We also explore how VO2 max compares to heart rate variability (HRV), what lactate threshold and exercise economy reveal about performance, and what markers matter most for longevity and wellness.📌 Find Dr. Joe Watso here: https://joewatso.com/📚Get Certified and Learn how to use HBOT safely and effectively in our certification course: https://drmasha.com/hbot-certification-course/ 👩🏻‍⚕️ Book your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy consultation with Dr. Masha: https://drmasha.com/consult-with-me/ Timestamps:00:00 INTRO01:48 What Is VO2 Max?02:08 How to Measure VO2 Max03:22 What VO2 Max Can Tell Us About Our Body04:31 How VO2 Max Relates to Longevity06:24 Can We Use VO2 Max as a Marker to Measure Therapy Progress?07:52 Heart Rate Variability (HRV) vs. VO2 Max12:56 What to Do to Increase Your VO2 Max14:37 Do You Need to Be Fit Before Training VO2 Max?18:10 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and VO2 Max19:24 Mitochondria and VO2 Max — What’s the Link?21:59 Combining Hyperbaric Therapy With Interval Training23:56 How Often Should You Test VO2 Max?25:26 Are VO2 Max Devices Accurate?27:25 Lactate Threshold Explained31:01 Running Economy vs. Cycling Economy32:56 Best Markers for Longevity and Wellness36:45 Are Wearables Accurate for VO2 Max?41:46 Where to Find Dr. Joseph WatsoThanks for watching!
