153 - Dr Amir Hadanny - Hyperbaric Solutions to Long Covid Challenges

Long Covid Podcast

What if you could harness the power of oxygen to heal the brain? Uncover the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) with Dr. Amir Haddany, a leading neurosurgeon and hyperbaric medicine expert. Dr. Haddany takes us through his research since 2008, sharing how HBOT is transforming treatment for neurological conditions like traumatic brain injuries and long COVID. Through imaging techniques such as MRI, we explore the effects of COVID-19 on critical brain areas & how HBOT might offer hope for recovery.
We reveal the pathways through which long COVID disrupts cognitive functions, backed by compelling imaging evidence. We delve into innovative treatment protocols adapted from conditions like ME & fibromyalgia, focusing on the role of oxygen fluctuations in stimulating mitochondria & facilitating healing. The protocols, akin to cellular interval training, illustrate the regenerative potential of HBOT when applied consistently over extended periods, offering a glimpse into this complex process.
We unpack a study suggesting long-term benefits for long COVID patients, emphasizing the significance of a rigorous, randomized controlled trial. Dr. Haddany's generous sharing of his knowledge provides not only an insightful discussion but also a platform for future inquiry and exploration into the world of hyperbarics.
