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 on Beautifully Broken.

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

For education only, not medical advice. Ozone therapy is not FDA-approved for any medical condition; talk with a licensed provider before starting any new therapy.
