How Annette Young Uses LiveO2 to Serve Athletes, Seniors & Chronic-Condition Clients
One system. Every demographic. Annette explains how LiveO2 delivers consistent results across her entire community — and why that’s not a coincidence.

Who This Page Is For
You run a wellness studio, fitness facility, chiropractic office, or integrative health practice and you’re looking for a modality that delivers measurable, repeatable results across a diverse clientele — without stacking a different tool for every condition. Annette Young has built exactly that kind of practice with LiveO2, and this page explains how and why it works.
It’s also for anyone who has personally experienced fatigue, cognitive fog, or slow recovery and wants to understand the mechanism behind why oxygen training produces results that other approaches haven’t delivered.
The Challenge Every Wellness Practitioner Faces
Running a wellness practice means serving people at completely different starting points. A 70-year-old managing joint inflammation has different presenting symptoms than a 28-year-old training for competition. A client recovering from post-viral fatigue needs a different conversation than someone who just wants to perform better at their sport. Most modalities specialize — they work well for one segment and poorly for others.
That forces practitioners to stack tools: one modality for recovery, another for energy, another for cognitive support, another for seniors. It’s expensive to equip, complicated to staff, and difficult to standardize. The result is a practice built on complexity instead of clarity.
The question Annette asked: Is there one system that actually works across all of these people — not because it treats every condition, but because it addresses something they all share?
Why Oxygen Works Across Every Demographic
Oxygen doesn’t specialize. Every cell in every body — regardless of age, fitness level, or diagnosis — runs on the same metabolic currency: ATP, produced by mitochondria, fueled by oxygen. When oxygen delivery is compromised, cells underperform. When it’s restored, they recover. That process is identical whether the patient is 25 or 75, athletic or sedentary, managing inflammation or chasing a personal record.
Most people are operating with chronically suboptimal oxygen delivery. Blood vessels narrow with age and inactivity. Capillary beds become less efficient. Tissue oxygenation drops without obvious symptoms — until fatigue, cognitive fog, or slow healing makes the deficit visible.
LiveO2’s Adaptive Contrast technology addresses this directly. During a 15-minute session, it switches between high-oxygen and reduced-oxygen air while the client exercises. The low-oxygen phase causes blood vessels to dilate and open. The high-oxygen phase then pushes oxygen-saturated plasma through those open vessels at a pressure that passive oxygen breathing can’t match. The result: dramatically more oxygen reaches tissues that have been running on a deficit.
What Annette Has Observed Across Her Community
After years of running clients through LiveO2, Annette’s observation is striking in its consistency: the system works across virtually every demographic she serves, and the results follow the same pattern regardless of who’s on the bike.
- Athletes experience faster recovery between training sessions, reduced muscle soreness, and sharper mental focus during competition — because their muscles and brain are receiving more of what they already need to perform.
- Seniors report increased energy, improved cognitive clarity, and better functional mobility — outcomes that are often written off as inevitable aging but are actually driven by addressable oxygen deficits.
- Clients managing chronic conditions — fatigue, inflammation, post-viral symptoms, and slow healing — find that LiveO2 addresses the underlying delivery problem rather than masking individual symptoms.
The reason it works across all three groups, Annette explains, is not that LiveO2 treats conditions. It’s that it restores a physiological input — oxygen — that every one of those conditions has depleted. When that input is restored, the body’s own recovery mechanisms take over.
“I’ve just oxygenated and I feel 15 years younger. LiveO2 has been the most consistent thing I’ve seen in this work — it shows up for every kind of client.”
— Annette Young, Wellness PractitionerKey Takeaways
- Oxygen delivery is the common variable behind nearly every chronic condition — fatigue, inflammation, cognitive fog, and slow healing all share the same root deficit
- LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast creates a pressure differential that pushes oxygen deeper into tissues than passive breathing or standard EWOT can achieve
- Athletes, seniors, and chronic-condition clients all respond to the same mechanism — meaning one system can serve an entire practice
- Sessions run 15 minutes, making LiveO2 easy to fit into a busy facility schedule without dedicated room blocks or complex preparation
- Most clients report noticeable effects — energy, clarity, or reduced soreness — within their first session, which supports client retention and referrals
- Practitioners can standardize protocols around one system rather than stacking multiple modalities for different client segments
“When oxygen delivery drops, everything slows down — energy, healing, clarity. Restoring it isn’t complicated. It just requires the right system.”
— Mark Squibb, CEO & Inventor of LiveO2Common Questions from Practitioners
Yes — LiveO2 is used in chiropractic offices, integrative health clinics, fitness facilities, and community wellness centers across the country. The system is compact enough for a standard treatment room and requires no medical gas infrastructure. Sessions run 15 minutes, making it easy to schedule as a stand-alone service or add-on to existing appointments.
LiveO2 is non-invasive and uses the same oxygen you breathe every day. The exercise component is adjustable — clients pedal at whatever pace their fitness level allows, including very light movement. Many of LiveO2’s most dramatic outcomes have been with seniors and clients in poor health. Consult with your healthcare provider for clients with significant cardiovascular conditions.
The system works with any exercise intensity. A competitive athlete can sprint during the high-oxygen phase to maximize delivery; a senior or deconditioned client can pedal gently and still achieve meaningful results. The Adaptive Contrast switch — not exercise intensity alone — is what drives the outcome. The protocol adjusts to the individual without requiring separate systems or setups. Learn more about exercise intensity and results.
Most clients notice something in their first session — commonly a sense of clarity, warmth in the limbs, or noticeably more energy in the hours that follow. The altitude-switch sensation during the hypoxic phase (brief breathlessness) is normal and resolves quickly. Setting this expectation in advance helps clients understand that what they’re feeling is the mechanism working, not a side effect. More on what to expect and timelines.
HBOT requires a hyperbaric chamber, a 60–90 minute session time, significant space and infrastructure, and typically costs $100–$300 per session for clients. LiveO2 delivers comparable or superior tissue oxygenation in 15 minutes, in a compact system, at a fraction of the cost. For a practice optimizing throughput and client experience, the efficiency difference is significant. See a direct comparison from a client who used both.
LiveO2 is a wellness and training device, not a medical device requiring a prescription or medical supervision. It is used in both clinical and non-clinical settings. LiveO2 provides onboarding support, training resources, and ongoing guidance for practitioners adding the system to their practice.
