Adaptive Contrast Oxygen Training
We are excited to announce the latest addition to our wellness center! The Live O2 adaptive contrast training system combines oxygenation, exercise, hypoxic events, and high intensity intervals to optimally train and energize the body. The sum of these four methods comes together in a 15-minute workout designed not only to save you time but to develop health and peak performance.

* Free 10 minute consultation required to make sure you qualify for the training protocol.
What is EWOT?
Exercise with Oxygen Training (EWOT) is a type of therapy that is gaining popularity for its potential benefits for musculoskeletal problems. This therapy involves breathing higher levels of oxygen during exercise, which can lead to improvements in tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and increased energy production. Research has shown that EWOT can be effective for conditions such as chronic pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
One study conducted on the Live O2 system, which is a popular EWOT device, found that patients with chronic pain experienced significant improvements in pain levels, fatigue, and quality of life after just six weeks of treatment. Another study found that EWOT can improve oxygen delivery to the muscles, which can lead to better endurance and recovery times.
EWOT has also been compared to hyperbaric therapy, which involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. While both therapies provide increased oxygen delivery to the body, EWOT is considered more cost-effective and easier to administer. Additionally, EWOT can be done at home or in a gym, whereas hyperbaric therapy typically requires a specialized clinic or hospital setting.
Overall, research suggests that exercise with oxygen training can be a safe and effective therapy for musculoskeletal problems, and the Live O2 system has been shown to provide significant benefits for patients with chronic pain. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind these benefits and to identify which patients are most likely to benefit from this therapy.

METABOLISM UPGRADE
Efficiency of metabolism is controlled by oxygen utilization. When oxygen is abundant, mitochondria carry out aerobic metabolism. The primary step being, the addition of oxygen to the fuel molecule needed to start the Krebs cycle. Aerobic metabolism taking place in our mitochondria is the only net positive means of producing ATP energy. LiveO2 AC training extends the aerobic range by using oxygen concentrated air to reach maximum oxygenation, which is normally un-obtainable when working out intensely.
FUNCTIONAL UPGRADE
Advanced medical theory views muscles as both generators and areas of energy storage for the body. ln other words, aerobic-range exercise creates voltage in the cells that is stored similar to a battery as muscles contract and relax. Further, when this idea is combined with meridian systems, in which large groups of muscles are inter-connected with organs, the act of exercising becomes supportive to the function of the paired organs by increasing the organ's energy also. Training with LiveO2 AC regularly not only exercises muscles but perhaps, more importantly, powers the organ systems the body depends on for ideal function.
PERFORMANCE UPGRADE
When it comes to exercise, high intensity intervals create strong responses, one of which is prompting mitochondrial growth. Most high intensity workouts involve sprints and recoveries that push the body into anaerobic states, causing a recovery issue. With LiveO2 AC the recovery is quick allowing for clean stimulation of systems while still developing oxygen utilization towards its genetic maximum.
CARDIOVASCULAR UPGRADE
The LiveO2 AC progression of high intensity interval training is enabled by switching between oxygen concentrated air and oxygen depleted air.This adaptive method creates higher highs and faster recoveries triggering many physiological benefits. Accelerated gains are achieved when moments of quick recovery follow layers of effort events, teaching the cardiovascular system to act dynamically and grow. Being a stronger breather and having a well-developed ability to deliver blood to tissues unlocks the all-powerful potential of the body.
