    How to Personalise HBOT Protocols & Assess Progress Using HRV | ft. Dr. Mike Nelson

    In this episode of the How to Hyperbaric Podcast, Dr. Masha talks with Dr. Mike Nelson about Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and how to use it to track stress, recovery, and nervous system balance at home. You’ll learn what HRV means, how to measure HRV with wearables (Oura Ring, WHOOP, Garmin, Apple Watch), what “normal HRV” really depends on, and why higher HRV isn’t always better. We also cover how HRV can help personalize Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), red light therapy, and PEMF protocols, how to spot overtraining or too much stress, and what trends matter more than one daily number.

    Why HBOT Should be a Part of Every Stroke Recovery Protocol

    In this episode, I sit down with neurological rehab specialist Dr. Nick Schmidlkofer to break down why stroke recovery doesn’t stop after one or two years, despite what many patients are told. We discuss why some people recover 90% while others only improve halfway, and how factors like inflammation, diet, targeted at-home exercises, HBOT therapy, red light therapy and other combinations of therapies influence outcomes.Dr. Nick also explains how his clinic combines vestibular rehab, vagus and peripheral nerve stimulation, red-light therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen to re-activate damaged brain regions and accelerate neuroplasticity. If you or a loved one is still struggling years after a stroke, this conversation shows why recovery is still possible. 📌 Neurologic Wellness Institute website: https://www.neurologicwellnessinstitute.com 👩🏻‍⚕️ Book your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy consultation with Dr. Masha: https://drmasha.com/consult-with-me/ 🎁 Join my 5-Day HBOT Sprint — totally for free: link http://eepurl.com/jkDsN-/Timestamps:00:00 INTRO00:07 Solutions for stroke recovery03:04 Why stroke-recovery results vary05:29 Can HBOT help with stroke recovery10:34 HBOT chamber at home13:20 Red-light therapy for stroke patients15:05 Does age affect the rate of neuroplasticity17:07 HBOT protocol details for stroke recovery19:30 How and where to treat neurological diseases Thanks for listening!
