A few explanations on Hypoxia
Intermittent Hypoxia and Hyperoxia (IHHT) is a revolutionary method that exploits the principle of Hormesis to rejuvenate our cells. This approach involves subjecting the body to a temporary lack of oxygen, replicating an altitude condition. In response to this stress, the body produces more red blood cells, thus entering a state of "super oxygenation";
This has a direct impact on our mitochondria, promoting the destruction of damaged mitochondria (mitoptosis) and the growth of healthy new mitochondria;
MITOVIT
In our center, we use specialized equipment called MITOVIT to perform IHHT;
How does a Hypoxia session work?
During your first session, you will be comfortably seated and fitted with a hermetic mask;
This device generates cycles of hypoxic air (9-15% O2), hyperoxic air (30-35% O2) or normoxic air (21% O2). You breathe hypoxic air for a few minutes, followed by a period of normoxic or hyperoxic air;
The MITOVIT machine calibrates itself during this first session, adapting to your individual response to hypoxia;
This data is then saved for subsequent sessions;
How long does a Hypoxia session last?
Each session lasts around 45 minutes, during which your health is constantly monitored. To reap the benefits of IHHT, we recommend a minimum of five sessions. This is the time needed for your body to initiate and implement the adaptation process.
What are the benefits of Hypoxia?
IHHT offers a range of undeniable advantages:
- Improved sleep and relaxation
- Improved mental and physical performance
- Increased resistance to stress
- Weight loss through improved fat burning
- Improves cardiovascular performance, lung function, blood circulation and sugar metabolism
- Lower blood pressure
- Reduced inflammation and pain
Why do Hypoxia sessions?
Whether you want to improve your overall health, increase your longevity, or boost your sporting performance, IHHT is a valuable ally. It's a proven method for optimizing our body's potential, particularly recommended for individuals suffering from chronic and degenerative diseases, or for athletes seeking to maximize their performance.
