New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
My Brand New Addition To My Recovery Man-Cave
If you wander into my basement and open a super-secret door at the end of the hallway, you’ll discover my coveted, oft-used four-person Clearlight Sanctuary sauna, a giant Serenity Floats (save 15% with code: BENPOD) float tank equipped with UV, ozone, and hydrogen water—and my latest toy, a soft-shell hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or, in this case, a human-sized tube. Traditionally, HBOT has been used in clinical settings for wound healing, treating carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation, fixing altitude sickness, and even assisting with healing from conditions such as Lyme disease, head injuries, stroke, anemia, and dementia. However, HBOT can also be used to maximize performance and recovery.
For example, it can facilitate speedier return to activity after a soft tissue injury, or even the type of micro-injuries and muscle tearing that occurs during a hard workout or competition. It can also increase oxygen supply to muscles, increase ATP production, cause new capillary growth and regeneration of nerves, and even mobilize stem cells in a manner very similar to a stem cell infusion.
Although HBOT should be supervised by a medical professional your first few times—especially if you’re nervous about the slight ear-popping that occurs while messing around with pressurizing yourself with oxygen—doing your own HBOT treatment like I now do is quite simple: you simply flip on the O2 generator, climb inside the tube, zip it up from the inside, turn the decompression valve and lay back for 60-90 minutes. I’ve even slept for a full night inside the chamber and find that it knocks me out into deep sleep within about 15 minutes flat. For the full anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory response, consecutive treatments of up to 40 sessions are recommended, but I began to notice better performance and recovery after just 2-3 HBOT sessions, and notice my “blah” feeling after heavy airline travel almost instantly disappears within just one hour inside the chamber.
The model I use is the Vitaeris 320 by HBOTUSA, and you can find a clinic near you that has one or purchase one for yourself by clicking here.
A New Book I'm Reading About Revolutionary Ways To Beat Cancer
When it comes to cancer, conventional doctors are trained to treat their patients exclusively with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. These methods are grueling on the whole body, and they don't treat beyond the tumor or the cancer itself. The focus is on the disease, not the whole person, and because of this, the outcomes in conventional medicine can be bleak.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, in her new book The Cancer Revolution, has developed a whole-person approach to treating cancer, and these treatments have helped thousands of patients through her Cancer Center for Healing. In The Cancer Revolution, Dr. Connealy shows you how to get to the root causes of cancer and the practical steps you can take to get back on the path to healing. When it comes to advanced cancer testing and biohacking or medical technologies, I had NEVER HEARD of half the stuff in this book—so no, it's not just another “go keto” or “eat greens” type of cancer book. I highly recommend this book, along with one I've recently recommended, Cancer & The New Biology Of Water by Thomas Cowan (click here to listen to my recent podcast about that one).

::: Joovv's Biggest Sale Ever :::
In my article “What’s The Deal With Fancy Red Light Devices? Your Go-To Guide On How To Use Red Light To Enhance Testosterone, Skin, Recovery, Cognition, Sleep & Beyond!” I filled you in on how red light therapy can be used for…
- Skin health & anti-aging,
- Muscle recovery & physical performance,
- Joint pain & inflammation,
- Increased cognitive function,
- Healing wounds & burns, and
- Increased melatonin production.
I’ve been strategically using light therapy for years now, and you can take it from me—and my lovely wife—that it also has a profound effect on both testosterone and sex drive as well.
If you've been holding off on getting your own red light therapy device, wait no more. For the first-time-ever, the folks at Joovv—makers of the only red light therapy device I allow anywhere near my nether-regions (other devices can give off too much heat, which can be bad news for your testicles and testosterone)—are offering $100 off Joovv Mini or $200 off a Joovv Solo, Duo, Max, Quad, or Elite.
Just click here to purchase. Limited to one-time use per customer.
