Chronic fatigue
LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast

LiveO2 pairs light exercise with Adaptive Contrast to push oxygen into the starved capillaries responsible for the fog. What users commonly experience:

  • Noticeable lift in mental clarity within the first few sessions
  • Reduced "foggy" feeling and sharper day-to-day thinking
  • Improved ability to stay on task without mental fatigue
  • A feeling described as "a window opening after years of being shut"

Brain Fog Recovery Experience

Brain Fog Recovery Testimonial

“I was living in a constant fog — struggling to think clearly… Within weeks, the fog began to clear. Mental clarity returned, and I could think creatively again.”

— Professional Painter, Stockholm

Cognitive Decline

Brain cells deteriorate when oxygen supply drops over time. Without intervention, neural pathways weaken and mental sharpness fades.

Blocked pathways
Impaired healing
LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast

After a head injury, damaged capillaries block the oxygen your brain needs to heal. LiveO2 forces delivery through those compromised networks. What users commonly experience:

  • Reduction in headache frequency and intensity
  • Improved balance, coordination, and motor control
  • Return of cognitive functions that were lost after injury
  • Progressive recovery that continues to build with consistent use

Concussion TBI Recovery Testimonial

“Doctors at Walter Reed told me I may never talk or walk again — only 2 out of 100 survive my type of injury. Using LiveO2 with Adaptive Contrast, my body is continuing to regain optimal function and structure.”

— Ben Menefee, USAF Veteran

How It Works

BrainO₂™ Protocol Introduction

Core Concept

1

Increase Blood Flow

Light exercise opens blood vessels wider, dramatically increasing the volume of blood reaching the brain.

2

Reach Peak Flow

A specific threshold signals that blood flow to the brain has reached its maximum — the foundation for effective oxygenation.

3

Deliver Oxygen

Precisely timed oxygen delivery floods brain tissue during peak blood flow — reaching areas that standard therapy cannot access.

4

Build Over Time

Each session delivers oxygen deeper into brain tissue. Consistent use produces progressive, measurable improvements in function.

BrainO₂™ Performance

Long-term brain health
Increased cognitive function
Improved focus and memory
What’s Possible

Most brain health strategies focus on what you eat or think. BrainO₂ works at the cellular level — training your brain’s capillary network to deliver more oxygen with every heartbeat. The result is a brain that doesn’t just maintain — it gets stronger year after year.

Healthy brain with protective resilience and strong neural pathways
Brain protection
Lasting resilience
Healthy aging
How It Works
  • Exercise opens vessels wide — dramatically increasing blood flow volume to the brain
  • LiveO2 times high-concentration oxygen delivery at peak blood flow
  • Brain capillary network rebuilds and strengthens over weeks of training
  • 25 minutes per session — fits any schedule

Brain Performance Experiment

Low Oxygen Accelerates Aging — LiveO2

“Low oxygen doesn’t just slow you down — it accelerates biological aging. Every year of suboptimal oxygenation compounds. BrainO₂ training is how you stop that clock and build a brain that gets stronger with age.”

— LiveO2

What’s Possible

Your brain is capable of far more than its current output. Most people operate with oxygen delivery well below what their neural hardware can handle. BrainO₂ training closes that gap — giving your brain the fuel it needs to think faster, process deeper, and perform at a level you haven’t felt in years.

Sharper thinking
Measurable gains
How It Works
  • LiveO2 alternates between oxygen-rich and oxygen-reduced air during exercise
  • Contrast triggers vasodilation — forcing more blood into brain tissue
  • Oxygen delivery rates exceed any supplement, nootropic, or breathing technique
  • Results are measurable — not a feeling, a documented physiological response

Frequently Asked Questions

We repeatedly ask: “Can you hear your heartbeat in your head?” If yes — we are there. If no — we are not. Physiologically this is a sensation that almost everyone has experienced and easily recognizes. It means the body is sending enough blood to the head that the eardrum throbs. This is the actual threshold we use. Once the answer becomes yes, we repeatedly pulse oxygen for 2–5 seconds being careful not to allow the pulse rate to decrease.
Not everyone hears their heartbeat. For me the transition is really a challenge experience where I feel a stern, but not distressed urge to back off my pace for recovery. I’m able to continue because while it’s uncomfortable, it’s like climbing a hill on a bike. As long as I don’t increase my pace — I can hold it. Shortly after this urge I begin to hear my pulse in my head. When this happens I hold pace for about 30 seconds, switch to oxygen for 2–5 breaths, and switch back to the higher pace. This minimal recovery keeps me close to the zone.
Power Exert corresponds to a physical exertion, like a sprint. As with all exercise, restrain yourself to exertion levels appropriate to your conditioning. Exercising harder than your body will allow can result in injury.
Shy of the heartbeat in the head, the usage method still works — but gains in mental function are consistent with Ardenne’s lesser published results of 5–15%. Scientific research supports the concept that mammals compensate for hypoxic athletic challenge by squirting more blood to the brain. The 400% blood flow increase seems and feels consistent in our experience and with the results.
I generally never experience ‘euphoria’. My exit feeling is clear — like I had a great workout. My vision is good and I feel very calm for the remains of the day.
