The core difference lies in medical oversight and clinical-grade technology. At Meta Recovery Lab, every protocol is designed and supervised by on-site medical specialists (Cardiologist and Pulmonologist). We do not offer generic wellness services; we provide evidence-based physiological interventions aimed at optimizing biological markers and cellular function.
It depends on your goal! Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is best for physical repair (injuries, skin, inflammation), while Intermittent Hypoxic-Hyperoxic Training (IHHT) is like a workout for your cells (energy, metabolism, brain fog). Most clients use the Gold Pack to do a 70/30 split to cover both bases.
A: Science shows that physiological changes—like capillary growth or mitochondrial renewal—happen through consistency. A single session feels great, after the 10hs is where the health upgrades starts happening.
A: Yes. Both therapies are non-invasive. Our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) uses medical-grade oxygen and our Intermittent Hypoxic-Hyperoxic Training (IHHT) mimics high-altitude training under strict sensor monitoring. You’ll be in a monitored private environment the whole time. As always though, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting, especially for those with pre-existing health conditions.
A: Expect to spend about 50-60 minutes with us. It’s the perfect time to catch up on a podcast, read, meditate or even ride a bike while your body does the hard work.
A: Yes! Our Diamond pack is transferable. Bring a friend or family member and use your credits together.

Oral supplements are limited by the digestive system’s absorption capacity (low bioavailability). Medical-grade intravenous infusions (such as NAD+ or Glutathione) ensure 100% absorption directly into the bloodstream. This allows for immediate support of cellular energy production and hepatic detoxification—critical factors for individuals managing a high-stress lifestyle and elevated oxidative stress.
A prior referral is not required as all clinical assessments are conducted in-house. Nevertheless since most people have their personal doctors, we prefer to work them and in any way not to substitute them. Before initiating any protocol, a thorough medical history is taken. When necessary (e.g., prior to IHHT), a specialized cardiology or pulmonary screening is performed. Our priority is to maximize therapeutic outcomes while ensuring absolute safety for your cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
Intermittent Hypoxic-Hyperoxic Training (IHHT) Frequently Asked Questions
Hypoxic training involves exercising in a low-oxygen environment to enhance physical performance and endurance. This method helps athletes adapt to high-altitude conditions, improving their overall fitness and recovery times.
Altitude training works by exposing the body to lower oxygen levels, which stimulates physiological adaptations. These adaptations can lead to improved endurance, increased red blood cell production, and enhanced overall performance.
Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking to improve their physical performance can benefit from hypoxic training. It is suitable for various sports and fitness levels, promoting better endurance and recovery.
Yes, hypoxic training is generally safe for most individuals. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new training regimen, especially for those with pre-existing health conditions.
The frequency of hypoxic training sessions can vary based on individual goals and fitness levels. For optimal results.is 2-3 sessions per week are recommended, but even one per week is enough to keep you on the right track.
As we age, mitochondria—the “power plants” of our cells—become less efficient. IHHT acts as a “cellular cleanup” mechanism (Mitophagy). By utilizing controlled cycles of hypoxia and hyperoxia, the body is forced to eliminate dysfunctional mitochondria and replace them with new, healthy ones. The results include enhanced mental clarity, better stress resilience, and significantly improved stamina in daily life.
HBOT Frequently Asked Questions
Comfort is key. We recommend 100% cotton clothing if possible. Loose-fitting gym wear, pajamas, or sweatpants are ideal.
Avoid: Underwired bras, tight belts, or restrictive jewelry.
Electronics: Most soft chambers allow for tablets or phones so you can watch a movie or listen to a podcast, but check with our staff first regarding specific device safety.
While the chamber is an enclosed space, our 1.8 ATA soft chambers feature windows and light can also penetrate. Most users find the experience quite cozy—similar to being in a small tent or a sleeping bag. You can communicate with the staff at any time through the intercom or windows.
The only sensation you will likely feel is a slight “fullness” in your ears, very similar to landing in an airplane or diving to the bottom of a swimming pool. Our staff will coach you on equalizing techniques (like yawning or swallowing) to ensure you are comfortable during the “descent” and “ascent.”
A standard session is 50-60 minutes.
Compression (5-10 mins): The chamber slowly reaches 1.8 ATA.
The “Dive” (40-50 mins): You relax, read, or sleep at full pressure.
Decompression (5-10 mins): The pressure is slowly released.
If you have a severe cold, sinus infection, or ear blockage, we recommend rescheduling. Congestion can make it difficult to equalize the pressure in your ears, which may cause discomfort.
