In this video, Dr. Artour Rakhimov interviews Dr. Arkadi Prokopov about his knowledge, work, and experience with IHHT.
The topics they discuss in this video include negative lifestyle factors in relation to the what the Buteyko method teaches and how the unawareness of these factors could negatively impact there recovery/healing progress of people using IHHT, how combining breathing retraining (the Buteyko method) and IHHT can create a strong synergistic effect for various conditions and how this training may also help people with tough cases.
Dr. Arkadi Prokopov gives a brief description of his life and background, the importance of mitochondrial health and how this can be a major factor in your current state of health.
Dr. Arkadi gives a detailed history of IHHT including the early developments after the second world war concerning fighter jet pilots and the task of adapting their bodies to hypoxic environments with hyperbaric chambers to improve problems related to flying at high altitudes, how doctors monitored these pilots health and noticed that their chronic health conditions improved, how years of substantial research and work of physicians, engineers, bio-medical specialists led to the creation of Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT), the advantages of IHT compared to Hyperbaric chambers, the basics of IHT and how it works and the current uses of IHT/IHHT including improving athletic performance, treatment and recovery of chronic health conditions, rehabilitation after for example surgery and to slow down the normal aging process.
How mitochondria work within the body, the development of hyperoxic training combined with hypoxic training, his role within this, how this differs from normal IHT and how adding hyperoxic air improves the effectiveness of the training. What a typical session or protocol of IHHT including the length of time, cycles/intervals of hypoxic and hyperoxic air, individualization due to the sensitivity and tolerance to hypoxia in different people, how sick people often having low tolerances to hypoxia and the development of hypoxic adaptation.
How nearly all conditions can be improved with IHHT as it improves mitochondria health as well as other important mechanisms within the body. He also delves into specific conditions and how IHHT can improve them and explains conditions in which the treatment is not usable.
He also discusses how to optimize mechanisms in the immune system to better discover and defeat pathologies such as viruses, bacteria, and yeast, etc. with IHHT, an explanation of Lyme disease and how it develops, how IHHT improves brain function and CNS disorders such as psychiatric disorders, neurological conditions specifically addictions and the mechanism behind them, types of mitochondrial problems such as damage, mutations, dysfunction and how these differ, etc. and lastly the positive effects of using cold exposure/therapy and how it improves mitochondrial function and overall health.
