Biohacking Recovery: My Journey with HBOT at Be Superhuman
As a retired professional boxer, my body has been through it all, the grind, the recovery, the discipline, and the drive to perform at my best. During my career, I was lucky enough to be sponsored by Be Superhuman Upminster, and now I have the absolute pleasure of working here.
Since joining the team, my passion for health and performance has evolved into something deeper biohacking. Learning how to work with the body, not against it, and discovering tools that help us feel, heal, and perform better every day.
One piece of equipment that’s really stood out for me is the HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) and today, I want to share a bit about how it works, why it’s so effective, and who it’s for.
What is HBOT?
HBOT stands for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. It’s a chamber where you breathe 100% oxygen under increased pressure.
This allows your body to absorb oxygen at a much higher rate, sending it deep into your tissues, muscles, and brain.
It’s not just about more oxygen, it’s about what that oxygen does. It accelerates recovery, reduces inflammation, boosts mental clarity, and helps your cells regenerate faster.
Why it works
When oxygen is delivered under pressure, it dissolves not only in your red blood cells but also in your plasma, meaning it reaches areas of the body that may have restricted blood flow or inflammation.
That’s why it’s so powerful for:
Recovery after injury or surgery
Reducing inflammation and fatigue
Improving focus and sleep
Supporting performance and longevity
Think of it as giving your body a reset from the inside out.
Who it’s for
It’s not just for athletes. HBOT is for anyone who wants to optimise their health, from those recovering from physical stress or burnout, to busy professionals who want to perform better and feel sharper day to day.
How many sessions do you need?
This is the question I get all the time, and the answer is simple:
It’s like training at the gym. You don’t get results from one workout.
Consistency is key. The more often you use it, the stronger the benefits become.
Each session builds on the last, helping your body adapt, repair, and perform better over time.
Final thoughts
The HBOT is one of the most incredible recovery tools I’ve ever experienced and I’ve tried a lot.
After years of pushing my body to the limit in boxing, I can honestly say this kind of technology is a game-changer for both recovery and overall wellbeing.
Being part of the Be Superhuman team now allows me to keep learning, growing, and helping others unlock their potential, physically, mentally, and beyond.
If you’ve ever been curious about biohacking or how to truly optimise your health, this is the perfect place to start.
