## Resource

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Masha Makeeva, a physician specializing in integrative and regenerative medicine, to get a clear, practical breakdown of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We talk about why HBOT’s biggest benefit may be reducing inflammation, who it can help most, and how to think about protocols — pressure, oxygen concentration, session length, frequency, and total number of sessions —so you’re not comparing totally different approaches. We also dig into where she sees HBOT used most (including cancer support and professional sports), why solid tumors may respond differently than blood cancers, and how HBOT can support recovery and quality of life during treatment. We cover safety, home chamber considerations, and how mitochondrial and metabolic health, HRV, and downregulation all fit into better outcomes.
