Leigh Ann welcomes Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, for a conversation on exercise with oxygen therapy, or EWOT, and the role oxygen plays in cellular energy, inflammation, detoxification, and recovery. Brad shares his own history with psoriasis, autoimmune arthritis, melanoma, Lyme disease, Bartonella, debilitating pain, and years of treatments that failed to meaningfully improve his health before oxygen therapy became an important part of his recovery. He explains how EWOT combines cardiovascular movement with high-concentration oxygen to increase circulation and oxygen delivery, particularly into tissues that may have compromised microcirculation. Leigh Ann and Brad also compare EWOT with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and oxygen nanobaths, exploring the practical and physiological differences between these approaches. They discuss how oxygen availability affects mitochondrial energy production, inflammation, detoxification, sleep, exercise capacity, and the body’s ability to repair itself, along with why chronically ill patients may need to ease into the therapy slowly. Brad also explains the potential synergy between EWOT and red light therapy, using oxygen first to increase supply and red and near-infrared light afterward to stimulate mitochondrial oxygen utilization.
