If you have an acute trauma, acute inflammation, a surgery, like it's going to work really fast with your body to make you feel better and more efficiently heal, no doubt about it, like 30 to 70% faster. But if it's a chronic issue, then this is where this framework really is the most important for me.

Well, it depends. So like a tennis elbow, that's something that's relatively acute, then hyperbaric therapy can be very helpful for that. If it's more of like a hip osteoarthritis or a knee osteoarthritis, I have seen hyperbaric therapy. I remember this one patient of mine, she was probably 87 and she was in great health, but she had really bad knees.

And there's not a lot of data that hyperbaric therapy for arthritis can be very effective, but there is an inflammatory component. Let's try it. Let's try it. Right. And so we gave, she just did like three hyperbaric sessions. She felt like a new lady and she felt fantastic. And I didn't see her again for a year when she came back, when her symptoms came back.

But she's like, my knee pain's back and I come back for three treatments, which is very unusual. Usually if you have like a chronic issue, it's going to take you much more hyperbaric therapy to see the benefit. But she was one of these hyper responders that I wish we could study. But She just did three hyperbaric sessions and her arthritis was gone.

Now, in general, though, if it's a chronic issue, if it's a chronic, like for example, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, like these are not things that happened overnight, right? There's a lot of things that are going on there. So you're looking at much more hyperbaric therapy to see the benefit in general than just a couple of treatments here or there.

And a much more comprehensive approach, like we've been talking about here, like with the foundation that we have, the health optimization medicine framework, it's certainly one framework. It's a very different than

functional medicine, because functional medicine is looking more for the root causes of illness, where we're looking at the root causes of health and creating the first standard of care for health and not disease. And so our focus is how can you keep people healthy?

How can you optimize your levels of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients and cofactors, the things that help you make energy that I was mentioning earlier? Can you optimize these to the levels when you were between 21 and 30 years of age, not just optimizing it for your normal for your age? The problem with a lot of laboratory tests out there

as you likely know, Dylan, is like, what's a normal range anyway? Do you want to be normal for a 50-year-old and normal for a 75-year-old? Probably not. You probably want to be normal for somebody between 21 and 30. That's when you're at the most optimized levels of hormones and be able to be the most resilient and the most ability to procreate, et cetera.

That's where we want to stay, and that's what we do at Health Optimization Medicine. That's different than functional medicine or other types of alternative medicines out there, but they're all able to be used in conjunction with each other. So I don't want to say that this takes the place of those.
