Increase Your O2 From ANYWHERE That YOU ARE!
DID YOU KNOW that every single cellular activity
requires oxygen?
You can help increase your oxygen levels & OXYGENATE at home, at the office, at school, outside or anywhere!

Oxygen is the most important catalyst for optimal health and INCREASED ENERGY LEVELS…period! O2 plays such a vital role for every metabolic process in our body; NOT just to inhale for breathing.
DID YOU KNOW every single cellular activity requires oxygen to function? To repair? To thrive? It offers so many benefits from clearer brain function, to better sleep, less pain & inflammation, quicker healing time, younger looking skin, a stronger functioning immune system, and so much more!
Why is Consistent Oxygen Support so Important?
Helps with absorption of vital nutrients
Offers cellular food for cell regeneration
Promotes removal of cellular waste
Encourages detoxification via oxygen neutralization of toxins
Oxygen will metabolize in the body and drive nutrients into cells, and then the process of oxidation occurs as a source of ENERGY! Further, due to the fact that our cells are aerobic (they need lots of O2 to grow and regenerate), they require focused energy from us to GET that O2…so get to work!!
How does the body utilize the extra oxygen?
It’s not just used for our respiratory system and breathing, AKA staying alive. The way oxygen gets into our blood is through the process of 1) breathing air into our lungs, 2) to then be diffused into our red blood cells, and 3) then circulated throughout our entire circulatory system.
The oxygen then searches for where it will be needed most to support tissue and cells in need. More oxygen equals the opportunity for natural stem cell and collagen production too! Our cells LIVE on O2 to produce energy for regeneration, function and healing.
Oxygen is also one way cells detox…they use any extra O2 so efficiently when regularly supplied, that the extra absorption is utilized not as food, but to DETOX waste and toxins to be removed and circulated OUT…our bodies are SO EFFICIENT!!
“A client once told me years ago, “You must put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others Cait!” It was during one of my many burnout eras, early on. I laughed, he was right…we’ve all heard it while flying and now we joke about it in the hyperbaric world too. It most definitely stuck with me….he was more than right, he was spot on.
We certainly can’t be helpful to anyone else, until we start ‘breathing through our own mask first’. It aligns with the concept of tapping in, to TAP OUT into the world. To truly shine, to live our purpose, to share our gifts, raise the vibrations of the universe, to connect in love and light…and in health. It starts with YOU! …and even before all that, it begins with oxygen.
Intentional breath work, movement, real foods, hydration, mindfulness and daily detox rituals are just a few of the ways to up your O2 game from anywhere at anytime…for your little cellular homies, your entire human-being and the rest of humanity. Breathe, baby breathe.“

5 Ways to Promote Oxygenation Anywhere!
Hydration
Alkaline Diet
Exercise/Circulation
Nature/Grounding
Breath-work
1) HYDRATION:
H20 is the way to go! But, drinking water alone doesn’t give you O2, rather, it transports oxygen circulating through your blood…the more water, the more volume of blood there is, and the greater circulation you have to offer cells. Your lungs take in breathe and your respiratory system is your main source of O2, but water is next in line!
Also important to note is how beneficial electrolytes are and that water is your delivery system here as well, to get those nutrients penetrated to cells. So add pink salt, coconut water, a squeeze of lemon or splash of apple cider vinegar into your daily water bottles.

2) EXERCISE/CIRCULATION:
MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE…walking, cardio, stretching and such things that you can do anywhere! This will not only increase oxygen levels, but will help to CIRCULATE that oxygen throughout the entire body.
A fun and inexpensive way to get help with circulation, detox and pain relief at home is through exercise called rebounding. A mini trampoline, referred to as a ‘rebounder’, can be purchased online, at sports equipment stores or big box stores such as Target. They’re relatively inexpensive and available with accessories to make your workout as fun and effective as you want.
A rebounder offers cardiovascular exercise while being a very gentle exercise on joints. It is especially beneficial for working out our lymph nodes for detoxification. Lymph nodes are our garbage disposal and need enough exercise & circulation in order to dump the trash out! It’s just about the most fun you can have exercising and there are online videos available to follow, or just put on your favorite music and get dancing on it…shake it up!
NOTE: There are balance bars available to place on the rebounder for safety purposes, but also to offer a greater variety of positions for a full body workout.

3) NATURE/GROUNDING:
Get outside and get your bare feet on the earth. Remember how good it feels to walk with your tootsies tickled by grass? Get outside and connect! Go to the beach to get your toes in the sand and take in that ocean air to absorb those negative ions through your entire body and balance out all the positive ions absorbed from the environment & electronics.
What it takes is to get your feet and body on the earth to absorb the energy. You can stand, walk or sit on grass, the earth, sand or even concrete. These are conductive surfaces that your body can draw from and absorb energy. When you ground regularly, your circulation improves, and we know that this aids in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to our cells.
Get outside and soak up the sun, the earth and some FRESH AIR for oxygenation!

4) ALKALINE DIET:
The average American diet is way too acidic! I’m not talking about spicy food alone here and acidity…I’m talking about eating too much sugar & processed foods, and not eating enough fruits & vegetables, or not drinking enough water (half of your body weight is needed daily)…this creates an acidic environment overall, and that kind of an environment creates DIS-EASE!
Healthy pH = happier cells = natural detox of unwanted pathogens = better absorption of cellular oxygen! It alllll works together…the better absorption of nutrients is equivalent to the better absorption of O2!!!
An easy tip on promoting more alkalinity is to get more greens in your diet…chlorophyll, chlorophyll, chlorophyll. The blood of the plant is bright emerald green chlorophyll and our blood LOVES IT! So, go dust off your juicer and start using it…or go to your nearest juice bar or health food store!

5) BREATHE-work:
Did you know that when we are stressed we don’t breath as we normally do? We tend to hold our breathe or have sporadic breathing which sends danger signals to our brain, and we then create stress hormones because of it, making things even worse. These hormones flood the body and cause even more stress, like starting to sweat and not able to think as well to speak clearly...why?…because we are lacking in oxygen at that point.
When you are focused on breathing regularly, you become more calm and deeper breathing becomes much easier, in turn, your autonomic nervous system regulates and stress lowers due to blood oxygen levels increasing.
There are all kinds of breathing practices and techniques available online that one can find that helps with more consistent and focused breathing.
One of the most effective and popular techniques in recent years comes from The Wim Hof Method. For simple to use and effective breathing steps, please read more here!
