IHHT - Altitude Training

IHHT stands for intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia treatment and is a novel and effective technique to regenerate mitochondrial energy, boost your metabolism, enhance your performance, and prevent susceptibility to certain illnesses.

IHHT Therapy

The benefits of the IHHT Therapy

1

Improve cellular energy and metabolism

Helps increase the efficiency of mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells, which can lead to better energy levels, improved metabolism, and enhanced endurance.

2

Improve overall heart health

By alternating between low and high oxygen levels, IHHT stimulates the cardiovascular system, potentially improving circulation, oxygen utilization, and overall heart health.

3

Enhanced recovery and resistance to stress

Promotes faster recovery from physical exertion and helps the body better adapt to stress, making it effective for athletes and people looking to boost their resilience and recovery capacity.

What values are monitored?

icon-lungs-primary-500 Icon

Oxygen saturation (SpO2)

Measures the percentage of oxygen in your blood, helping assess how well your body adapts to hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions.

icon-lungs-primary-500 Icon

Heart rate

Monitors cardiovascular response during the training, indicating stress and recovery levels.

icon-heart-blue Icon

Blood pressure

Assesses cardiovascular strain and response to oxygen changes.

Breathing rate

Tracks how your respiration adapts to hypoxia and hyperoxia.

Mitochondrial efficiency

It is not measured in every session, but IHHT specifically aims to enhance mitochondrial function and boost overall cellular energy production.

Lactate levels

Indicates how well your body manages anaerobic stress during hypoxia.

What to expect from an IHHT Treatment

IHHT Therapy

1

Set-up: lay comfortable on a floating bed

You begin by lying comfortably on a floating bed while wearing a specialized mask connected to a machine that controls oxygen levels. The machine alternates between hypoxic (low oxygen) and hyperoxic (high oxygen) air.

2

Hypoxic Phase: Simulating High-Altitude

For several minutes, you breathe in air with reduced oxygen levels, mimicking high-altitude conditions. This creates mild stress on the body, stimulating adaptive responses.

3

Hyperoxic Phase: recover and rejuvenate

After the hypoxic period, you switch to breathing oxygen-rich air to help your body recover and rejuvenate. This phase supports recovery and enhances oxygen utilization. These hypoxic and hyperoxic phases are repeated in cycles over a session, typically lasting 30–60 minutes.

Why should you start your IHHT today?

Manage metabolic syndrome and chronic fatigue

Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions, such as abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and abnormal lipid levels, which raise the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. They often causing chronic fatigue and IHHT therapy can provide effective relief for those affected.

Boost health and prevent diseases

IHHT therapy requires no specific health concern to be effective. It restores cellular health, boosts energy and metabolism, and therefore provides preventive care to reduce disease susceptibility.

Prepare for peak performance

If you are a professional mountain climber or enthusiastic about extreme sports and physical exercise, IHHT can be an extraordinary way to prepare your metabolism and body for extreme circumstances and to enhance performance. By restoring your mitochondrial health, you enable your body to gain more energy.

Promote a healthy immune system

Mitochondria are essential for the immune system as they contribute to energy production, signaling pathways, inflammation regulation, and programmed cell death, influencing the overall responsiveness and effectiveness of immune cells. Intermittent hypoxic hyperoxic training can support the healthy functioning of your immune system.
