Buy Hyperbaric (HBOT) or LiveO2?
15 minutes —
no hyperbaric chamber,
no prescription
LiveO2 uses oxygen and exercise to rebuild your body’s oxygen delivery system from the inside out by healing your oxygen delivery system.
LiveO2 heals from the inside out — permanent.
HBOT is a temporary oxygen bath.
“After 1,000+ patients and 15 years of hyperbaric chambers, I switched to LiveO2.”

Oxygen Systems: Hyperbaric Chamber vs LiveO2
Home (soft) hyperbaric chambers operate at 1.4 ATM, and require 100–300 hours of use to approximate results from medical hyperbaric chambers that operate at 2–3 ATM.
Standard prescription for medical hyperbaric therapy are for 20–40 dives, and require 40–80 hours of treatment time at a hyperbaric clinic.
LiveO2 users continue to use their systems and graduate from treatment to rapidly improving their fitness levels at home.
LiveO2 rapidly improves fitness levels as measured by VO2 Max in 15 minute workouts.

Internal Medicine • 15 years medical HBOT
“After 1,000+ patients on medical hyperbaric at 2.4 ATA, I switched to LiveO2. The functional results — in a fraction of the time — are comparable or better.”1,000+ HBOT Patients → Switched to LiveO2
Dr. Bauerschmidt
Physician • Hyperbaric & oxygen therapy specialist
“I can do in 15 minutes what it takes an hour and a half to do in a hyperbaric chamber — and it works.”HBOT Practitioner → Switched to LiveO2
These doctors switched from professional medical treatment to LiveO2 because LiveO2 works better than professional medical hyperbaric.
Home chambers operate at lower pressures than professional and require much longer treatment times.
Adaptive Contrast®: The Science That Changed Everything
At high altitude, the air has less oxygen. Your body notices. And it fights back — hard.
Blood vessels dilate wide open. Your body starts producing more red blood cells. Your heart gets more efficient. This is called intermittent hypoxic training[2] — and elite athletes have used it for decades.
LiveO2 brings that altitude response into your living room — then takes it a step further.
How LiveO2 Actually Works
High Oxygen Flood
Oxygen floods tissue that’s been starving — reaching areas a chamber’s passive dissolved oxygen can’t access.
Peak Exercise
At peak effort, you flip back to pure oxygen — driving it through those wide-open vessels with up to 3× the pulse pressure of lying still. [5]
Contrast Trigger
You flip from oxygen-rich to altitude-level air. The sudden contrast triggers your body’s adaptive survival response.
Low Oxygen (Hypoxia)
Your vessels open wide — your body’s survival response kicks in, dilating capillaries to maximize oxygen delivery.

Your Body Builds Permanent Upgrades
Every cycle strengthens your cardiovascular system. These aren’t temporary effects — they’re structural changes your body keeps.
Hyperbaric chambers are medical treatments not fitness devices.
LiveO2 is a fitness trainer that uses oxygen and increases your body-oxygen levels more than medical or at-home hyperbaric chamber.
Hyperbaric chambers deliver oxygen from the outside-in.
LiveO2 delivers oxygen from the inside-out.
LiveO2 vs HBOT
LiveO2: An exercise device — no prescription needed.
HBOT: A pressure tank procedure — prescription required.
Why HBOT requires a prescription:
- The user is captive during treatment — claustrophobia;
- Pressurization and rapid depressurization can cause injury;
- Administration requires medical supervision for safety.
LiveO2: Users breathe enriched oxygen during 15 minutes of exercise. Protocols send extra blood and oxygen to different organs and stimulate healing.
HBOT: A passive treatment.
- 40+ dives, 1–2 hours each, in a pressurized chamber;
- The patient stays still — it works like an oxygen bath;
- Medical supervision required.
LiveO2: Most users report health improvement within 2–5 workouts. That’s 1–2 hours of total exercise usually in the first week.
HBOT: Most users report health improvements after 20-80 hours in the hyperbaric chamber over 3-6 months.
LiveO2: Forces your body to produce more red blood cells, reopen capillaries, and adapt to carry more oxygen permanently. LiveO2 users get stronger over time.
HBOT: Hyperbaric oxygen peaks while in the chamber, then fades within hours of leaving. Users do not get stronger with use.
LiveO2: LiveO2 uses exercise, oxygen and challenge to repair your oxygen delivery systems from the inside out.
HBOT: Hyperbaric therapy uses a pressure chamber to soak more oxygen in to your body from the outside in.

FAQ
Most patients decide results don’t justify the effort and expense and give up.
Most doctors know that oxygen is the most effective medicine there is but don’t prescribe hyperbaric because it usually isn’t covered by insurance, and takes too long.
Hyperbaric doctors switch to LiveO2 because it really works better. LiveO2 sessions are short (15 min), patients see results fast (often in days), and most patients can do it in a clinic or at home without supervision.
Most users that buy a hyperbaric chamber for home use stop using them out of boredom or frustration.
Those who succeed stop using them — most give up because hundreds of hours in a small pressurized tube is too boring and uncomfortable.
Home chambers that operate at 1.4 ATM require 2–6x more treatment time than medical hyperbaric (2–3 ATM) used in hospitals.
LiveO2 users continue to use their systems and graduate from treatment to rapidly improving their fitness levels. LiveO2 rapidly improves fitness levels as measured by VO2 Max.
