Imagine an afternoon that does not come with a crash. Thinking that stays sharp past three o’clock. Waking up genuinely rested, recovering from a hard workout the way you used to, and moving through the day with energy that feels like it belongs to you again.
Underneath all of that sits one quiet variable: how efficiently oxygen is reaching your cells, and how well your circulation is carrying it there.
EBOO is one of the most direct ways we work on that variable at Nerve Health Institute in Lafayette, Louisiana. This article walks you through what the therapy is, what an hour in the chair feels like, what people commonly notice afterwards, and how to take the next step.
What Is EBOO Therapy?
EBOO stands for extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation. In plain terms: your blood is gently drawn from a vein, circulated through a filter outside the body, enriched with a precise mixture of medical-grade oxygen and ozone, and returned to you through a second line.
The setup will look familiar if you have ever seen dialysis — a closed circuit, a pump, a filter cartridge, and two points of IV access. A session runs about an hour and works through a meaningful portion of your circulating blood volume in that time. That is what makes EBOO so thorough compared with smaller ozone applications: rather than treating a single drawn vial and returning it, the circuit works continuously for the length of the session.
At Nerve Health Institute, EBOO is administered by a registered nurse with medical doctor oversight, in a calm treatment room, with you monitored from start to finish.
Why Oxygen Sits at the Centre of the OWL Method
Dr. Chris Cormier’s OWL Method rests on three foundations the body cannot function without: Oxygen, Water and Light. Of the three, oxygen is the most immediate. You can go weeks without food and days without water. Oxygen is measured in minutes.
Every cell in your body runs on mitochondria, and mitochondria run on oxygen. Improve the supply and you improve the currency your whole system trades in — energy production, tissue repair, immune response, mental clarity. It is the most upstream lever there is.
Most wellness approaches reach that lever indirectly: move more, breathe better, sleep deeper. Those things matter enormously and we build them into everything we do. EBOO reaches the same lever from the other end, by raising oxygen availability in the blood itself. This is the Oxygen pillar in its most concentrated form.
What a Session Feels Like
Most people want to know what the experience is really like, rather than how it works in theory. The short answer is that it is remarkably restful.
Before. You have a consultation and screening, including blood work, so we can tailor the session to you. It is an unhurried conversation, and you will leave it knowing exactly what to expect.
During. Two IV lines are placed and you settle in while the circuit runs. Most people describe it as calm and easy. Common sensations include a cool feeling as the blood returns, a pleasant heaviness through the limbs, and a depth of relaxation many people are not expecting. Plenty of patients read, talk with the nurse, or simply doze through the whole thing.
Afterwards. Many people feel deeply relaxed and pleasantly tired for the rest of that day, in the way you might after a long swim or a sauna. Others feel light and clear straight away. We suggest drinking plenty of water, eating well, and giving yourself an easy evening — then noticing how the next few days feel.
What People Commonly Notice After EBOO
Everyone responds in their own way, but across the patients we see, certain themes come up again and again:
- Energy that lasts through the afternoon. The change people mention most, and usually the first one they notice. Not a stimulant lift — more the lifting of a drag they had stopped noticing was there.
- Clearer thinking. The brain is one of the most oxygen-hungry organs in the body, and sharper focus is a common report in the days following a session.
- Better circulation and warmer hands and feet. People who have run cold for years often notice this one first.
- Deeper, more restorative sleep. Closely linked to the parasympathetic shift so many people experience during and after the session.
- Faster recovery from training and exertion. A leading reason athletes and physically demanding workers build EBOO into their schedule.
- A general sense of lightness and reset. Harder to put a number on, consistently described.
The mechanism is elegantly simple: greater oxygen availability supports mitochondrial energy production, while the controlled oxidative signal is understood to encourage the body’s own antioxidant and immune responses. It is well tolerated, it is comfortable, and a great many people walk out of it feeling better than when they walked in.
Who Comes In for EBOO
There is no single profile, but a few patterns repeat.
People carrying long-term fatigue who have already dialled in sleep, diet and movement, and are ready to work on the delivery side. Athletes and physically demanding workers using it as a recovery tool between hard blocks. People coming back from a long illness who want to close the last gap to where they used to be. People in their fifties and sixties who have decided to get ahead of the changes rather than wait for them.
What they share is a willingness to invest in the foundations. EBOO works beautifully alongside the daily habits that keep cellular energy high, and the people who get the most from it are the ones building both together.
Watch: An EBOO Session, Start to Finish
In this recorded session, Dr. Chris Cormier, DC talks through an EBOO procedure while it is underway, with Camryn describing what the experience feels like in real time. If you have been curious what an hour in the chair actually looks like — the lines, the circuit, the pace of it — this shows you rather than describes it.
What you are watching is a closed circuit: blood leaving through one line, passing through the filter cartridge, and returning through another. The registered nurse present throughout is central to how we run this — trained clinical administration and continuous monitoring are what make the session as safe and comfortable as it looks.
The experience Camryn describes on camera — the coolness, the relaxation, the easy tiredness afterwards — is what most people tell us as well.
Your Safety Comes First: How We Screen
EBOO is a clinical procedure and we treat it as one. Before anyone sits in the chair, we review your medical history, go through your current medications, and run blood work — with a registered nurse administering the therapy and a medical doctor overseeing clearance.
That thoroughness matters, because EBOO is not the right therapy for every body. We check carefully for:
- G6PD deficiency, where the body handles oxidative stress differently
- Bleeding or clotting disorders, or ongoing anticoagulant therapy, since the circuit itself requires anticoagulation
- Recent heart attack or stroke
- Pregnancy
- Significant anaemia or low blood volume
- Active infection
- Hyperthyroidism
- Certain lymphatic surgeries, including lymph node removal
Eligibility is decided case by case, and the screening conversation is where we work that out together. If EBOO is a fit for you, you will know it with confidence — and if something else in the clinic would serve you better, we will point you there instead.
Building EBOO Into Your Routine
EBOO is a wellness therapy that supports your general vitality rather than a treatment for any diagnosed condition, so if you are under a physician’s care, keep them in the loop and let them stay in charge of that side of things.
How often you come in is a personal decision. Some people start with a single session to experience it for themselves. Others build it into a longer-term rhythm alongside the daily foundations — sleep, hydration, movement, sunlight, real food — that keep the results compounding between visits.
It pairs naturally with the other oxygen-based and cellular therapies we offer, and we are happy to map out a simple plan with you. Clear pricing, no pressure, and no obligation to commit to anything on your first visit.
Ready to Feel the Difference?
The best next step is a conversation. In fifteen minutes on the phone we can talk through your goals, explain what the screening involves, give you straight pricing, and get you booked in.
