Our third episode of Q&A is here! Here are the questions asked and any relevant links: Tom, do you think using the TBT (total body trainer) and incorporating my arms in the aerobic exercise will deliver more oxygen to those areas than having them in a resting position as I pedal with my legs? (Listen at 01:42 - 06:00) Ben Menafee podcast Keiser Total Body Trainer Ben's shared spreadsheet Will LiveO2 help my sex life? (Listen at 06:03 - 13:04) Can you address Northern California fire detox? They are burning us down and don't plan to stop. How could the AC™ system be best used to support people's detox from the fires? Can you also speak to the nature of toxins from the fires that are burning hotter than wildfires (burning stuff like tires and metals and porcelain)? (Listen at 13:17 - 32:54) Adaptive Contrast™ system Detox protocol Blessed Herbs Quick Silver Scientific *Tom tip: best time for an herbal cleanse is Spring or Fall! How does LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast compare to Hyperbaric oxygen therapy? (Listen at 33:00 - 45:44) Read: LiveO2 vs. Hyperbaric I wanted to share something with you about using my LiveO2 system. I watched a podcast about nose breathing during exercise and I decided to try it while doing my LiveO2 workout. It took a while to get comfortable with it - I would sometimes exhale from the nose but got used to it.After a bit I noticed I felt remarkably relaxed even when the O2 levels were low. I felt relaxed after...normally I am little hyped up.  When done, I decided to use my heart variability tester to verify how relaxed I was. It was amazing, I was completely balanced with my nervous system even after just exercising. Best session to date! Curious if you have tried it and had the same result? (Listen at 46:00 -  53:13) Buteyko breathing Wim Hof method *Tom tip: Our nose is there for a reason - to breathe! The mouth is designed more for eating. I haven’t used my Live02 the last month or two. And I noticed that the two times I used it this week that my pulse ox wasn’t going down that much when I was on -O2.  It would maybe go down to 95 and then trickle back up to 97 even after a couple of minutes. Is that weird? (Listen at 53:15 - 1:00:09) Contact us about your protocol - maybe it's time to level-up? Scott Stapleton of Keiser podcast (HIIT training) I am looking at foot surgery for arthritis and was wondering if AC will speed up the healing process? (Listen at 1:00:10 - end)

What makes LiveO2 systems different than our competition? In this podcast episode we're joined by Engineer Mike who designs, prototypes, and tests LiveO2 systems parts. He's the king of R&D here at LiveO2! Mike sheds some light on very important distinctions between LiveO2 and other EWOT systems that may be a bit cheaper, but are not actually quality products designed with your health in mind. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why the switching mechanism on the Adaptive Contrast™ makes a difference How our parts were designed and why we didn't go to a local hardware store to buy parts for our systems The origin of our Adaptive Contrast system design (hint: founder, Mark, was trying to solve his own problem) Why we use clean materials and the results of our air tests for contaminants Why our system is more like "bamboo" instead of "oak" - a look at our reservoir design How we learned to honor how the body works and how this compares to our competitors' flawed methodologies How we control resistance in our systems (you have to have resistance to improve) What the purpose of the nose (and nose hair!) is Why "work capacity" = health What Engineer Mike's Rx for health is!

Our second episode of Q&A is here! Again, we polled our Facebook page and private Facebook group, LiveO2 for the People, to see what questions you have for Tom, our VP. In this episode, Tom addresses all of the questions submitted, so this episode is more lengthy than last time. Here are the questions from this episode: How can one check the oxygen concentration level that the compressor is delivering? Is it possible for it to just be filling the bag with air? I don’t think I have an issue but I do like to check things.

Several years ago, Ben Menafee had a freak weightlifting accident, went into a coma, and woke up to a group of doctors telling him he probably wouldn’t be able to walk again. Today, Ben has a “motivational wheelchair” that he keeps in sight to remind him of where this journey started. He can now walk, on his own, 2 miles. Ben was told that “no gains could be made 12 months after a brain injury” and he’s made more documented gains in years 2 and 3 after his injury. “If you think you can do it, try it”  In this podcast episode, we get to hear exactly how Ben was able to achieve those gains and: How he responded when doctors told him oxygen treatment was “snake oil” Why “limited mobility” LiveO2 users can still train equally to fully-mobile users What Ben does to keep his body guessing How to use LiveO2 systems if you’re claustrophobic Why Ben’s physical therapist now wants to try his system!

Since then, Julia has been all over the world, riding, kayaking, climbing, hiking, skydiving, paragliding, and exploring new cultures. Not to mention she’s also a prize-winning author (we’ll talk about her book Wordfood in this episode) and has corporate experience as a director of training in Fortune 500 corporations. Julia is no-nonsense when it comes to attitude and discipline. (Did I mention she’s also ex-military?) Her philosophy is: “Whatever you think, you’re right.” We’re excited to have Julia as our new podcast guest, and let me tell you: this is an episode that you don’t wanna miss!

Scott Stapleton is a veteran in the fitness industry and with over 30 years (!) of experience, he’s seen it all when it comes to athletic training. Though Scott is a gym owner (see our LiveO2 Site launch at his facility here), he’s not sold on “pumping iron”. With Keiser, Scott prefers to train athletes with air, not iron. That’s right! Scott trains high performers with compressed air and today’s podcast is all about it. In this podcast episode, Scott and Tom discuss athletic training with pneumatics. They get into: The mechanical advantage (muscle-wise) athletes gain with compressed air What running at a 45 degree angle (the Keiser Air 300Runner) can do Building anaerobic endurance for any sport And a call for a guinea pig in a LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast™ + Air 300Runner training session!

Billy Wease is an interesting guy. He’s a trained pharmacist turned RX drug dependency opponent! Billy hosts a wellness program, OptiYou RX, which aims to help individuals decrease the amount of prescription drugs they take while improving their overall health. And, just a little over 2 weeks ago, he purchased a LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast Dual system! Our VP, Tom Butler, hopped on the phone with Billy to get his two cents on the AC system and chat about how he feels so far. Here’s a preview of what you can learn from this episode: How you can “become the CEO of your own health” (no matter what health challenges you’re facing) The average number of RX drugs that people are actually on The average number of side effects prescription drugs have (your jaw will drop) Why Billy decided he needed the Dual system for himself, his family and his program And lots more!

Jeff’s results from his 50-year checkup with his doctor produced some disheartening results: Cholesterol levels up. Blood pressure up. And his neck pain had increased due to his numerous prior herniated disc surgeries. Not only was the health outlook grim, but the financial implications of treating these symptoms left Jeff feeling like there must be a better way. That moment is when he decided to take his health into his own hands and become a participant in his health –- not a patient relying on prescription drugs. Fast-forward to today: Jeff feels no more pain, has incredibly increased his energy and stamina, and has eliminated his brain fog enabling him to pursue things he’s always wanted to like writing (check out his first book!) and music. In this podcast episode, Jeff gives us a first-hand account of how his oxygen training with his LiveO2 system, inversion therapy and ketogenic diet have played a part in his incredible transformation.

In this episode, learn all about our newest product the LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast Dual system! You asked: we listened!  This is the first-to-market multi-user system with many other optimized features.
