Can breathing pure oxygen under pressure help us heal — or even age better? Michelle Martin speaks with Dr Gerard Ee, Founder and Medical Director of The Clifford Clinic, to unpack the science behind hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). They explore what actually happens inside a hyperbaric chamber, the medical conditions HBOT is used to treat, and what the evidence says about claims around longevity, recovery and maintaining physical ability. Dr Ee also explains the crucial differences between medical hyperbaric chambers and the soft-shell “oxygen pods” appearing in wellness studios, the risks consumers should know about, and the questions to ask before paying for a session. Plus: the health and fitness measurements that may tell us more about how well we’re ageing — and one practical thing we can do now to live well for longer.
