IHHT Oxygen Therapy

Cell training for your health leads to more energy!

In our modern world, our cells are constantly exposed to environ mental stressors and psychological stress, which can impair their performance. This is where Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Therapy (IHHT) , an innovative method that specifically trains and strengthens your cells.

IHHT, often referred to as «altitude training» at the cellular level, utilizes the alternation of reduced (hypoxia) and increased (hyperoxia) oxygen concentrations. This simulated stimulus challenges the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells. Through this targeted training, weak mitochondria are broken down, and the formation of new, more efficient mitochondria is stimulated. The result: Your cells can produce more energy again and are more resilient.


The benefits of IHHT at a glance:

  • Boosting cell energy:
    Feel more energized and capable in your daily life.

  • Improved regeneration:
    Accelerated recovery after physical exertion or stress.

  • Strengthening the Immune System:
    Support of the body's own defenses.

  • Optimization of metabolic processes
    Contributes to a balanced metabolism.

  • Improved stress resistance:
    Helps your body cope better with stress.


Your IHHT experience at our practice:

We place the utmost importance on your health, safety, and well-being during therapy.

Here are the benefits you can expect from us:

  • Comprehensive Expertise:

Mitochondria, the Powerhouses of the Cell

The importance of mitochondria has increased in recent years. More and more chronic diseases are being linked to their performance in the body. On Wikipedia, there are currently 50 diseases (as of 2020) caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. This includes everything nobody wants, from chronic fatigue to cancer. In short, Our well-being depends on the number and condition of mitochondria. 

The condition of our organs essentially depends on the efficiency of microcirculation. Under oxygen deprivation, this fine vascular network is particularly stressed. Among the The influence of thin air means that increased blood flow continues even to the smallest capillaries. Vessels that are more passively located in the tissue are also activated and better supplied with blood. If the body is exposed to hypoxia more frequently, it even begins to expand its vascular network. 

Poor mitochondria do not survive IHHT.

Interval Hypoxia Hyperoxia Training (IHHT) aims to optimize cellular energy production by directly targeting mitochondria (the «powerhouses» of cells).

  • Hypoxia Stress (Oxygen Deprivation):
    During short phases of low-oxygen air (hypoxia), targeted, mild stress is triggered in the cells.

  • Selection mechanism
    Weak, damaged, or aged mitochondria cannot cope with this stress and are therefore thought to be in the programmed cell death (driven by apoptosis/mitophagy).

  • Sorting
    Hypoxia thus serves as a filter or selection mechanism that sorts out the «bad» mitochondria and makes room.

  • Regeneration: Following the hypoxia phase (and during the oxygen-rich hyperoxia phase), the surviving, healthy mitochondria are stimulated to multiply.

  • Result:
    In the long term, this should lead to a cell population with a higher number of more powerful and younger mitochondria drive, which improves overall cellular energy production (ATP).

In summary:
The IHHT uses controlled oxygen deficiency to create a type of «Renovation» to initiate cellular power plants by selectively removing weakened mitochondria.

 

In 2019, the Nobel Prize was awarded for hypoxia research. 

 In the category of Physiology or Medicine, three scientists received the award for discovering and describing the molecular mechanisms by which cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability. Their work led to a breakthrough in understanding the importance of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha.
