Dr. Mike on the Root Cause of Inflammation — How Oxygen Supports Recovery
Dr. Mike Bauerschmidt explains how inadequate tissue oxygenation drives chronic inflammation, and why LiveO2's oxygen delivery improvements address that root cause directly.

How Oxygen Combats Inflammation at the Source
Dr. Mike Bauerschmidt identifies a connection that is well-supported in the research but underappreciated in mainstream medicine: chronic inflammation is frequently a downstream consequence of inadequate tissue oxygenation. When cells can’t receive sufficient oxygen, they produce inflammatory signals as a stress response. Restoring oxygen delivery addresses the cause rather than the symptom.
LiveO2 supports this from the oxygen delivery side — improving circulation, clearing metabolic waste, and restoring the oxygenation that allows inflamed tissues to heal rather than persist in a chronic inflammatory state.
Inflammation thrives in low-oxygen tissue. Adaptive contrast floods hypoxic tissue with oxygenated plasma — interrupting the inflammatory cycle at its source.
Key Takeaways
- Chronic inflammation often originates from inadequate tissue oxygenation
- Inflammatory signaling is, in part, a cellular stress response to oxygen deficits
- Restoring oxygen delivery addresses inflammation at the root, not just the symptom
- LiveO2 supports this by improving circulation and tissue oxygenation systemically
“What we do is we change what you breathe while you exercise so that you get more of the respiratory effect — in less time, with less fatigue.”
— Mark Squibb, CEO & Inventor of LiveO2Common Questions
LiveO2 is an oxygen training system that changes what you breathe while you exercise. It uses Adaptive Contrast — switching between oxygen-rich and oxygen-reduced air — to dramatically increase oxygen delivery to your cells in about 15 minutes.
About 15 minutes. You exercise on a bike or treadmill while the system manages the oxygen and altitude contrast automatically. Most people feel the effects within their first session.
Adaptive Contrast is LiveO2’s core technology. It switches between high-oxygen and low-oxygen air during exercise. The low-oxygen phase opens your blood vessels. The high-oxygen phase floods them with saturated plasma. The result is dramatically more oxygen reaching your tissues. Full explanation here.
LiveO2 uses the same oxygen you breathe every day — just in higher concentrations, combined with controlled exercise. It is a non-invasive training system. Consult your healthcare provider if you have specific medical concerns.
