BrainO₂™ Recovery

Brain Fog
Cognitive Decline
Concussion / TBI
Brain Fog

Your brain cells aren’t getting enough oxygen. When blood flow slows or capillaries narrow, brain tissue starves — leaving you in a haze.

Low O₂ delivery
Poor circulation
Chronic fatigue
LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast

Drives up to 400% more blood flow to the brain, flooding oxygen-starved tissue and clearing the fog — often in the first session.

LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast
More oxygen. Deeper delivery. Real results.
Cognitive Decline

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

Declining function
Neural weakening
Progressive loss
LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast

Creates 24x potential oxygenation — reaching deep capillaries to restore and rebuild neural function with consistent use.

LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast
More oxygen. Deeper delivery. Real results.
Concussion / TBI

Head trauma damages blood vessels and disrupts oxygen delivery to injured brain regions. Standard treatments can’t reach the deepest affected areas.

Impact trauma
Blocked pathways
Impaired healing
LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast

Forces oxygen through damaged capillary networks during peak blood flow — reaching areas that standard therapy cannot access.

LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast
More oxygen. Deeper delivery. Real results.

Protocol Explanation

BrainO₂™ Protocol Introduction

How It Works

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.

Recovery Results & Validation

Brain Oxygen Graph (2017)

Brain Oxygen Graph

This graph shows long-term recovery of brain oxygen utilization over a 4-year period from chemical injury — demonstrating that consistent BrainO₂ training can restore brain function even years after injury.

LiveO2 Brain Oxygenation

Measurable improvement typically begins within the first week for individuals able to exercise. Recovery timelines vary based on injury type and severity.

Key Research Findings:

Long-term recovery demonstrated from chemical injury over 4 years
“Reboot Pattern” observed — short-term dip before significant gains
Brain oxygen utilization shows measurable increase with consistent use
Reaches capillaries that standard oxygen therapy cannot access

Ben Menefee

USAF Veteran — TBI Recovery

Ben experienced a very severe head injury while serving in Afghanistan. When he awoke from his coma, doctors at Walter Reed hospital told him he may never talk or walk again — only 2 out of 100 people with his type of injury survive.

He was paralyzed on his left side, subject to uncontrollable laughing and crying, with severe headaches and always exhausted.

Using LiveO2 with Adaptive Contrast, Ben reports his body is continuing to regain optimal function and structure that was compromised during his military injury.

BrainO₂™ Performance

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

Protect and strengthen your brain for decades — not just today. BrainO₂ users build lasting resilience against age-related cognitive decline, keeping their minds sharp well into their later years.

Brain protection
Lasting resilience
Healthy aging
How It Works

LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast drives up to 400% more blood flow to the brain during exercise. This floods brain tissue with oxygen at levels impossible through normal breathing — reversing gradual decline and building cellular resilience. 25 minutes per session.

LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast
More oxygen. Deeper delivery. Real results.
What’s Possible

Unlock your brain’s full capacity. BrainO₂ delivers 24x potential oxygenation — far beyond what normal breathing provides — giving you measurably sharper thinking, faster processing, and elevated mental performance.

Peak performance
Sharper thinking
Measurable gains
How It Works

Exercise opens blood vessels while Adaptive Contrast precisely times oxygen delivery at peak blood flow. This creates simultaneous maximums of blood volume and oxygen concentration — a state no other method can achieve. Results are measurable within the first week.

LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast
More oxygen. Deeper delivery. Real results.
What’s Possible

Sustain razor-sharp focus and strengthen memory pathways with every session. BrainO₂ users report clearer thinking, better recall, and the ability to stay locked in during high-demand tasks.

Sustained focus
Better recall
Mental clarity
How It Works

By flooding the brain with oxygen during peak blood flow, BrainO₂ training strengthens the neural pathways responsible for focus and memory. Each session builds on the last — creating cumulative, lasting improvements in concentration and cognitive stamina.

Protocol Explanation

BrainO₂™ Protocol Introduction

How It Works

1

Activate Vasodilation

Exercise opens blood vessels wider, dramatically increasing blood flow volume — including to the brain.

2

Maximize Blood Flow

Higher intensity drives blood flow to a peak state — creating the foundation for maximum brain oxygenation.

3

Oxygen Delivery

Precisely timed oxygen at peak blood flow creates up to 24x potential oxygenation — higher than any other known method.

4

Repeat and Build

Multiple cycles train your brain to process higher oxygen loads, building lasting cognitive capacity. 25 minutes total.

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.
