Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with Dr. Scott Sherr

In this podcast episode, Dr. Scott Sherr discusses the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as a treatment for POTS and related conditions like autoimmunity and long COVID. HBOT can offer both short-term and long-term benefits, such as improved immune function, decreased inflammation, and enhanced oxygen delivery to tissues. Dr. Sherr emphasizes that while HBOT can be beneficial, especially in treating underlying mechanisms like infections and improving mitochondrial function, it should be considered as part of a broader integrative treatment plan. Factors like optimizing the patient's overall health and targeting specific underlying conditions should be prioritized before using HBOT extensively. He also distinguishes between different types of HBOT equipment and their appropriate use cases, recommending professional consultation to ensure it fits the patient's specific needs.
