The Healing Secret Hiding in Every Breath

<p>In this episode of <strong>Take Back My Brain</strong>, Laurie Hammer interviews Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, about the healing potential of Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and red-light therapy.</p><p>Brad shares his personal journey from years of chronic illness—including autoimmune arthritis, Lyme disease, melanoma, severe fatigue, brain fog, and chronic pain—to rebuilding his health through a focus on oxygen utilization and mitochondrial function.</p><p>The conversation explores how oxygen impacts cellular energy production, why inflammation and oxygen deprivation often go hand-in-hand, and how EWOT combines exercise with concentrated oxygen to enhance circulation and oxygen delivery throughout the body.</p><p>Brad also explains how red-light and near-infrared therapy work alongside oxygen therapy by stimulating mitochondria, increasing energy production, and supporting recovery. Together, these therapies may help improve brain function, physical performance, healing, and overall wellness.</p><p>The episode also touches on applications for brain injuries, concussion recovery, cognitive function, chronic infections, autoimmune conditions, long COVID, and healthy aging, while emphasizing that many reported benefits come from personal experiences and emerging research rather than definitive clinical conclusions.</p><p>- - - - - </p><p><strong>Mind Thrive Course:</strong> Learn more about Amino Acid Therapy <a href="https://www.lauriehammer.com/mindthrive-amino-acid-therapy" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>.</p><p><em>Special Offer:</em> Use code <strong>MINDTHRIVE</strong> at checkout to get <strong>$1,000 off</strong> the course!</p><p>- - - - - </p><p><strong>Brad Pitzele </strong>is the founder of One Thousand Roads and an advocate for Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and red-light therapy. After battling autoimmune arthritis, Lyme disease, melanoma, and debilitating chronic health issues, Brad began exploring the role of mitochondrial health and oxygen utilization in recovery. His personal healing journey led him to develop accessible at-home wellness technologies designed to support oxygen delivery, cellular energy production, recovery, and healthy aging.</p><p>- - - - - </p><p><strong>Connect with Brad Pitzele</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.onethousandroads.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.onethousandroads.com/</a> </p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OneThousandRoadsHQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/OneThousandRoadsHQ</a> </p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/onethousandroadshq/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/onethousandroadshq/</a> </p><p>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@OneThousandRoadsHQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@OneThousandRoadsHQ</a> </p><p>- - - - - </p><p><strong>Connect with Laurie Hammer</strong></p><p><strong>Facebook:</strong> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/laurie.hammer.7/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/takebackmybrain/#</a></p><p><strong>Instagram:</strong> ⁠<a href="https://www.instagram.com/takebackmybrain/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/takebackmybrain/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>  </p><p><strong>Website:</strong> ⁠<a href="https://www.lauriehammer.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lauriehammer.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p><strong>Youtube: </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@takebackmybrain9073" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@takebackmybrain9073⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><
