Executive fatigue & burnout
For the long-hours professional whose problem is not sleep but the quality of the fourth hour of thinking.
Some fatigue is about stamina rather than sleep — the ability to keep thinking clearly through a long day. Research has examined intermittent hypoxic training as a way to increase the adaptive potential, endurance and working capacity of the brain.
Sessions fit into a working week: 40–60 minutes, two to three times a week, sitting at rest. Your physician sets the protocol on the day and monitors your response throughout.
Most people start with the ten-session course, then review with their physician at the end.
How a course works
- A sixty-minute physician assessment, including your hypoxic response, comes first
- Sessions of 40–60 minutes, sitting at rest, two to three a week
- Pulse and oxygen saturation monitored throughout every session
- Hypoxic depth reset as you adapt
Courses
- A single session — AED 300, the full 40–60 minute protocol
- The ten — AED 2,500 (AED 250 a session), two to three sessions weekly over four to five weeks
- The thirty — AED 7,000 (AED 233 a session), ten to twelve weeks, repeat bloods at session 15 and three physician reviews
The evidence
Read the study yourself.
Individual results vary. We make no claim about what the therapy will do for you specifically.
Questions
Before you book.
Can I work during a session?
Sessions are best done resting quietly, but many people read or listen to something.
Is this a treatment for depression or a sleep disorder?
No. If your fatigue may have a medical cause, your physician will advise on assessment and treatment first.
How quickly will I notice anything?
Adaptation needs repetition over weeks rather than days. Your physician reviews progress at the end of the course.
