Ozone therapy, EBOO and Major Autohemotherapy: what the research supports, where the marketing outruns it, and how to build a smart ozone stack. SimplyO3 founder Micah Lowe returns for his fourth conversation with Freddie Kimmel on the Beautifully Broken Podcast.
Ozone works as a hormetic stressor, like exercise or sauna: a short oxidative hit that signals the NRF2 pathway and trains the body to build antioxidant capacity. Micah covers why ozone only works in a series, why he won't build EBOO equipment, ozonated glycerin, and the 1970s FDA statement that still shapes ozone in the US.
In this episode:
- How ozone triggers NRF2 and a hormetic antioxidant response
- EBOO vs. major autohemotherapy vs. rectal insufflation, and why direct IV is out
- Ozone's history from WWI to Velio Bocci, and the FDA's position
- Why diet, sleep and exercise still come first
