Jimmy Scaringi, owner of Synergy Hyperbaric shares how high-pressure oxygen therapy, infrared saunas, cold plunging, and red light therapy can dramatically accelerate healing and recovery for athletes over 40. These science-backed modalities stimulate stem cell production, increase telomere length, and improve mitochondrial function to potentially reverse aspects of biological aging.

• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy pushes oxygen into blood plasma instead of just red blood cells, allowing it to reach oxygen-starved connective tissues
• A 2017 study showed 60 hyperbaric sessions increased telomere length by 30% while boosting natural stem cell production up to 8x
• Infrared sauna use 2-3 times weekly can reduce all-cause mortality by 20-30%, while 4-5 times weekly can reduce it by 50%
• Cold plunging activates brown fat metabolism and releases cold shock proteins that reduce inflammation
• Contrast therapy between hot and cold creates cardiovascular benefits without joint impact
• Red light therapy stimulates collagen production and optimizes mitochondrial function at the cellular level
• Even a 5% reduction in oxygen to brain mitochondria can cause anxiety, depression, and brain fog

Visit Synergy Hyperbaric in Western New York to explore how these modalities could transform your recovery and performance as a masters athlete.
