EBOO · How EBOO Works
The Process
A sealed, single-use closed loop
EBOO moves your blood through a sterile, single-use circuit, drawn, filtered, ozonated and oxygenated, then returned. Here is each step, performed under Dr. Volpp’s supervision.
The Treatment
Blood, filtered and re-oxygenated — then returned to you.
EBOO — Extracorporeal Blood Ozonation & Oxygenation — passes your blood through a sterile filter while introducing medical-grade ozone and oxygen, then returns it to circulation. It’s our most-requested treatment, and every session is performed under the direct supervision of Dr. Heather Volpp, MD. Physician-led care — not a trend.
EBOO is offered alongside conventional medical care and is not a cure. Individual results vary. Consult with Dr. Volpp.
The Science Behind EBOO
Hormesis: How a Controlled Stress Strengthens the Body
Hormesis is a well-documented biological principle: a low, carefully dosed stressor prompts the body to adapt and become more resilient — while the same stressor at high, uncontrolled levels would be harmful. A measured workout is the everyday example: mild stress that signals your muscles, heart, and metabolism to strengthen.
EBOO works on the same principle. As your blood is gently filtered and reintroduced with medical-grade ozone, it delivers a precise, physician-supervised oxidative challenge — designed to activate your body’s own antioxidant and adaptive defenses.
The Dose Makes the Difference
The hormetic curve: benefit rises within a controlled dose range, then declines if the stressor becomes excessive. Protocols are dosed to stay in the beneficial zone.

What happens during EBOO
- 1
A controlled oxidative stressor is introduced
Your blood is filtered and reintroduced with medical-grade ozone — a mild, precisely dosed challenge, monitored throughout the session.
- 2
Antioxidant defenses are signaled
The body senses the mild oxidative stress and activates its natural antioxidant systems and cellular stress-response pathways.
- 3
The system adapts and strengthens
Research suggests these adaptive responses are associated with improved antioxidant capacity and a reduced oxidative and inflammatory burden over time.
Why this matters for EBOO
Because EBOO is grounded in hormesis, the goal is never “more is better” — it’s the right dose, delivered safely. Each protocol is designed or supervised by Dr. Volpp and dosed to stay within the beneficial range, so the body is challenged just enough to adapt. This is why EBOO is used alongside your existing care, and why every plan begins with an individual evaluation.
- Precisely dosed
- Physician-supervised
- Adaptive, not forced
- Individualized protocols
