Living Longer Is Great. Living Better Is the Goal.
We’re all living longer - but are we living well? At ReWell, we believe the goal isn’t just lifespan (how long you live), but healthspan - the years you stay vibrant, active, and disease-free.
In this post, we’ll explore how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) supports healthy aging, backed by science and real results. We’ll also look at the 12 Hallmarks of Aging and how HBOT helps target each one to keep you feeling younger, longer.
What’s the Difference Between Lifespan & Healthspan?
-
Lifespan = total years lived.
-
Healthspan = years spent healthy, mobile, mentally sharp, and independent.
Thanks to modern medicine, we’re living into our 80s and 90s - but what good is more time if it’s spent battling chronic illness? HBOT is part of a new generation of therapies focused on improving your quality of life at every age.
The Science of Aging – And Why HBOT Matters
Researchers have identified the 12 Hallmarks of Aging - key biological changes that drive aging and age-related disease. The exciting part? HBOT has been shown to positively impact many of these processes.
Let’s break it down.
The 12 Hallmarks of Aging – and How HBOT Helps
1. Genomic Instability
HBOT supports DNA repair, reducing age-related genetic damage.
2. Telomere Attrition
HBOT may slow telomere shortening - a key marker of aging.
3. Epigenetic Alterations
Supports healthier gene expression and cellular repair.
4. Loss of Proteostasis
Helps maintain protein balance, reducing cell stress and dysfunction.
5. Deregulated Nutrient Sensing
Improves cellular metabolism and energy regulation.
6. Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Boosts mitochondrial performance and cellular energy (ATP).
7. Cellular Senescence
Promotes regeneration, helping remove “zombie cells” that cause inflammation.
8. Stem Cell Exhaustion
Stimulates stem cell activity for tissue healing and vitality.
9. Altered Intercellular Communication
Improves how cells talk to each other - critical for brain, heart, and immune health.
10. Chronic Inflammation
HBOT reduces systemic inflammation - a major aging driver.
11. Defective Autophagy
Supports your body’s natural clean-up process, reducing cellular waste.
12. Microbiome Dysfunction
Improves oxygenation and reduces inflammation, which may help restore gut health.
