Are you doing everything “right”… but still feeling exhausted, inflamed, or stuck?
In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, to explore one of the most overlooked drivers of energy, recovery, and resilience:
Oxygen at the cellular level.
After facing autoimmune arthritis, malignant melanoma, Lyme disease, and Bartonella, Brad found himself searching beyond conventional approaches when his health continued to decline. What he discovered is something many high performers—and especially midlife athletes—often miss:
Your body cannot produce energy, repair tissue, or recover effectively without proper oxygen delivery and utilization.
In this conversation, we break down the science and real-world application of Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and red light therapy, and how these tools can help improve mitochondrial function, reduce inflammation, and restore energy.
We also explore how poor oxygen utilization may be contributing to fatigue, brain fog, slow recovery, and metabolic dysfunction—even when you’re training, eating well, and doing all the “right” things.
In this episode, you will learn:
- What Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is and how it works
- The connection between oxygen, mitochondria, and ATP production
- Why fatigue and brain fog may be linked to poor oxygen utilization
- How red light therapy supports cellular energy and recovery
- The concept of an “oxygen deficit” and its role in chronic inflammation
- How oxygen supports detoxification through the lungs and movement
- Why high performers often get stuck in a “survival mode” state
- Practical ways to begin improving oxygen delivery and recovery capacity
