A sharp brain
More years only matter if I'm clear-headed for them. My brain deserves the same attention as my heart and my waistline.

Patient story · Hyperbaric oxygen
I work at the clinic, but I'm also a patient.
Why Mark Schneider keeps coming back to hyperbaric oxygen, in his own words.
Mark Schneider Owner & patient, MP Health
Why I do it
“Extra years don't mean much to me if I can't think clearly, bounce back, and still be out on the water every morning.”Mark Schneider, owner & patient
Gary Brecka recently made the same case on Instagram: longevity is pointless without a sharp brain and a body that recovers. He's used hyperbaric oxygen for years, and I agree with him.
My four reasons
Why it's part of my routine
Recovery
Long clinic days, workouts and travel all add up. I want my body to bounce back so I keep saying yes to life.
Energy at the cell level
The research on oxygen and mitochondria, the tiny engines in every cell, is fascinating. That science is what got me curious.
Access, close to home
This used to feel like something for pro athletes. I want our neighbors to be able to try it, screened and supervised by our team.
What a session looks like
Sit back. Read. Breathe.
-
1Screening firstOur clinicians check whether HBOT is appropriate for you. It isn't right for everyone.
-
2Settle inYou sit in our hard-shell chamber, breathe 100% oxygen by mask at 2.0 ATA for about 90 minutes, and read, rest or listen to music.

What the studies looked at
63
Healthy adults, age 64+
In a randomized trial, people who completed a 3-month HBOT program showed better attention and processing-speed scores, plus more blood flow in parts of the brain on MRI, than the control group.

Aging adults, 60 sessions
Researchers measured longer telomeres (the protective caps on chromosomes) and fewer senescent "worn-out" immune cells in blood samples after the program.

Mitochondria & repair
A review explains how cycles of higher oxygen may signal cells to build new mitochondria and switch on repair pathways, the "hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox."
Hadanny & Efrati, Biomolecules 2020 · review
Honest fine print: these studies used 2.0 ATA with 100% oxygen on strict research protocols, the same pressure our hard chamber runs. They were small studies in healthy older adults, results vary, and none of this is a promise of any outcome. MP Health is not affiliated with the researchers.
The real point
“I'm not chasing a longer life. I want more good years.”
Clear head, strong body and early walks on the beach at Longboat Key. That's why I use HBOT.
