The Pharmacist Who Left Drugs Behind and Found Oxygen
Billy Wease’s grandmother’s cancer diagnosis told him there were no options beyond standard of care. He became a pharmacist to prove that wrong. Today he runs wellness workshops helping people reduce their dependency on prescription drugs — and oxygen training is a core part of his protocol.
Billy’s Origin Story
Billy’s grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. Her doctor said there was nothing more they could do beyond chemotherapy and radiation. Billy didn’t accept that answer.
“No options? Nothing else? He simply didn’t believe this was true and set out to become a pharmacist to prove it.”
He got his pharmacist’s license — and then used that credential to dig deeper into the research on non-standard treatments. What he found was a world of evidence-based options the standard of care system doesn’t discuss.
Today, Billy runs wellness workshops focused on helping people reduce or eliminate dependency on prescription drugs through lifestyle, nutrition, and targeted therapies. LiveO2 is one of the tools he recommends.
What a Pharmacist Sees in Oxygen Training
Billy is a trained pharmacist and a CrossFitter. He understands biochemistry, pharmacology, and the mechanisms of chronic disease — and he looks at oxygen training through that lens.
His perspective is direct: most chronic diseases share a common root in cellular energy deficiency, which is driven by inadequate oxygen. Prescription medications treat symptoms downstream of that problem. Oxygen training addresses the upstream cause.
That doesn’t mean drugs are never necessary. But Billy’s view is that many people are on medications for conditions that could be significantly improved — or in some cases resolved — by addressing the fundamental oxygen deficit that underlies their symptoms.
He also discusses CrossFit in the context of LiveO2 — how combining high-intensity training with oxygen delivery changes the metabolic equation entirely compared to training on normal air.
Common Questions
Billy Wease is a licensed pharmacist and wellness educator. He runs workshops to help people reduce or eliminate prescription drug dependency through lifestyle interventions and evidence-based therapies. He’s also a CrossFitter and uses LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast as part of his own health protocol. His background in pharmacology gives him a unique perspective on why oxygen training addresses root causes rather than symptoms.
LiveO2 is not a replacement for medications — always work with your healthcare provider before changing any prescription. However, Billy’s perspective as a pharmacist is that many chronic condition medications address symptoms of conditions that have oxygen deficiency as an underlying component. Improving oxygen delivery may allow some people — under medical supervision — to reduce their medication burden over time.
CrossFit’s high-intensity interval structure is an ideal complement to adaptive contrast training. The work-rest structure creates the cardiovascular demand that drives blood flow, and the oxygen delivery during the high phase saturates the blood during peak demand. Billy discusses how using LiveO2 with CrossFit-style training changes recovery time and performance adaptation compared to CrossFit alone.
