Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Healing the Brain and Body with Oxygen

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, host David DeHaas sits down with Phil Rainey, founder of Hyperbarics of Sun Valley, for a deep dive into the science, history, and future of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).

Phil—a former military deep-sea diver trained through Army and Navy dive schools—shares how his background led to building one of Idaho’s most advanced freestanding hyperbaric clinics. Together, they explore how HBOT is transforming integrative medicine, veteran care, and chronic illness recovery.

You’ll learn the difference between soft-sided and hard-sided chambers, how oxygen pressure activates genes and stem cells, and why only hard chambers deliver full therapeutic effects. David also shares his personal recovery story following a near-death health crisis—thanks to HBOT.

🧠 Key Quotes:

“We used to think it was the oxygen concentration doing the work—now we know it's what happens when you come off of it that changes your genes.”

“Freestanding hyperbaric clinics can treat anything a doctor prescribes—not just the 15 insurance-approved conditions hospitals focus on.”
