Whether you are a professional athlete, weekend warrior or corporate athlete at work (think firefighters, police and military), or just want to improve your stamina to do what you love, there are two things that can have a dramatic impact on your performance and recovery–saunas and ozone therapy. Here at Oxygen Sauna, both of these therapies are combined together to bring you results.
We all want to unlock our best physical potential, but, what does that look like to you?
Living in a body that is physically fit and active as we age?
Having the highest mental capacity and clarity?
Avoiding disease?
Staying Pain free with old age?
Retaining youthful looking skin?
Is it possible? yes! Does it take time, effort and commitment, you probably already know that answer. But, Is it worth it? It sure is!
You only have to lose your health once or injure your body to know how it can negatively impact you. Living up to your physical potential is a lifestyle choice and gratefully there are bio hacks to keep us going in the right direction. Let’s explore them!
Ozone therapy benefits
Ozone therapy works synergistically with your body by stimulating it on a fundamental level. The therapy stimulates the NRF2 pathway via mild acute oxidative stress. This process assists your body in the following ways:
Increase energy
Modulating the immune system
Increasing stamina
Decreasing recovery time
Reducing pain and inflammation
Reducing brain fog/enhancing mental clarity
One study found the following outcomes for athletes using oxygen and ozone therapies:
Improved heart rate
Improved oxygen delivery
Improved energy production
Reduced recovery time
Improved feeling of wellness
Oxygen is the forgotten nutrient — but it’s also the most important nutrient. No other nutrient is as necessary to your livelihood as oxygen.
You can breathe all the oxygen you want, but how efficiently your body puts that oxygen to use makes all the difference. Ozone therapy may help people increase their oxygen efficiency, it is the stimulus to get your body to operate efficiently. The big difference between a 20-year old and a 70-year old is how well they utilize oxygen and create energy.
“It must be added that ozonated erythrocytes show an improved glycolysis with an increase of ATP… Extensive data have been reported in reviews and two books. It is now clear that a “physiological” ozone dose … triggers an acute and precisely calculated oxidative stress able to activate several biological processes…”
There is a robust scientific community around ozone therapy. The literature shows that ozone therapy is versatile, causing a “cascade” effect of positive reactions. Researchers also claim it increases oxygen efficiency and stimulates the body to create more energy.
By improving your oxygen efficiency, you’re essentially improving all your body systems. This is why it’s helpful for:
Improving cognitive function
Optimizing metabolism
Decreasing recovery time
Increasing energy

Now, onto the benefits of Sauna use.
Sauna Therapy benefits
Saunas can benefit athletes by improving muscle recovery time, enhancing blood circulation, reducing muscle soreness, alleviating stress, improving cardiovascular health, and potentially boosting endurance by promoting heat acclimation, allowing them to train harder and recover faster;
Key Benefits for Athletes
Muscle recovery: The heat from a steam sauna increases blood flow to muscles, which can help expedite the repair process and reduce post-workout soreness.
Improved circulation: Increased blood flow throughout the body can enhance oxygen delivery to muscles, potentially improving performance.
Stress relief: The relaxing effect of a steam sauna can help athletes manage stress levels, improving focus and mental well-being.
Heat acclimation: Regularly using a steam sauna can help the body adapt to heat stress, potentially improving endurance in hot environments.
Pain management: Heat therapy from a steam sauna can help relieve minor aches and pains associated with exercise by detoxing the lactic acid that builds up in the tissues.
Experiencing this process is what sells people. The difference in how your body feels is palpable.
