LiveO2 Q&A Episode 2: Checking Oxygen Levels, Biological Age, and Peripheral Neuropathy

LiveO2 Q&A Episode 2: Oxygen Concentration Testing, Biological Age, and Peripheral Neuropathy

Tom Butler returns for a longer Q&A. Topics: how to verify your oxygen output, measuring the anti-aging effect of LiveO2, and whether EWOT can address peripheral neuropathy.

Questions Covered in This Episode

Q: How can I check whether my compressor is actually delivering oxygen, not just air?
Covered 1:48–13:53. Tom recommends a Nonin pulse oximeter and explains oxidative reduction potential (ORP) as a way to verify oxygen quality. He also covers the concept of “be out of breath for 10 minutes” — the key indicator that you’re training in the right zone. If you’re not working hard enough to get out of breath, you’re not driving the adaptive response.
Q: Can you measure biological age versus chronological age? Can you track the anti-aging effects of LiveO2?
Covered 14:04–24:02. Tom discusses biological age testing tools and heart rate variability as markers of biological vs chronological age. The connection to LiveO2: improved oxygen delivery improves HRV, autonomic nervous system function, and cellular energy production — all of which are measurable markers of biological age.
Q: Will EWOT help peripheral neuropathy?
Covered 24:23–31:18. Tom explains the “brownout” model — peripheral nerves are among the last tissues to receive oxygen when the body prioritizes distribution. In chronic low-oxygen states, these tissues essentially go offline. LiveO2’s plasma oxygen supersaturation can reach these terminal areas in a way that hemoglobin-bound oxygen can’t. Tom also discusses complementary approaches including red light therapy and PEMF.

Common Questions

A pulse oximeter measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). A properly functioning LiveO2 system should push your SpO2 above 98% during the high-oxygen phase. You can also check ORP (oxidative reduction potential) of the output air, which indicates oxygen quality. Tom covers both approaches in this episode.

Tom uses “brownout” to describe what happens when the body distributes limited oxygen — it prioritizes vital organs first, and peripheral nerves (hands, feet) are last in line. Under chronic oxygen deficit, these tissues receive just enough to stay alive but not enough to function optimally. That’s why peripheral neuropathy symptoms — numbness, tingling, weakness — can persist for years. LiveO2 floods the system with enough oxygen to reach these terminal areas.

LiveO2 training improves measurable markers of biological age: heart rate variability, VO2 Max, blood oxygen saturation, and inflammatory markers. These are the same variables that biological age tests measure. Whether this constitutes “reversing” aging depends on how you define it — but the physiological markers move in the right direction with consistent training.
