Metabolic syndrome & lipid profile
Studied as an intervention in patients with metabolic syndrome, including without exercise — which matters for people whose weight or joints currently rule exercise out.
Metabolic syndrome — raised blood pressure, blood sugar, waist measurement and blood fats together — is usually treated with diet and exercise. When exercise is difficult, a stimulus that works at rest becomes interesting.
A clinical study examined the effects of intermittent hypoxic–hyperoxic exposures on lipid profile and inflammation in patients with metabolic syndrome. Results from individual studies vary, and we link the full paper so you can read it before deciding.
We usually recommend the thirty-session programme for metabolic goals, with repeat bloods at session fifteen so you and your physician can see what is changing.
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

Questions
Before you book.
Is this a weight-loss treatment?
No. It has been studied for metabolic markers such as lipid profile and inflammation. It works best as part of a wider plan with your physician.
Will you test my bloods?
On the thirty-session programme, repeat bloods are taken at session fifteen to track change.
Can I do it with joint problems?
Yes. Sessions are done sitting at rest, with no load on your joints.
