How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Helped My Father Overcome Brain Fog

Do you or a loved one ever suffer from brain fog? Have you ever had the thought, “Wow, I’m just not as sharp as I used to be?” Do you have anyone in your life that may benefit from a natural solution for mental fatigue? Please look no further and take some time to hear my story—actually, my father’s story.

I'm Dr. Jason Han, CEO & Co-Founder of HealthFit Physical Therapy & Chiropractic. Recently, I’ve been in a reflective mood and wanted to take a moment to celebrate my dad, Dr. Sin Fong Han.

A Journey of Dedication and Achievement

From humble beginnings and the oldest of seven children, my father was born on a small island in Malaysia. He came from a simple family but had big dreams. His talent in sports got him a scholarship to a college in Hong Kong where he met my mom, the first step on a path full of achievements.

His love for learning took him from Hong Kong to McGill University in Canada for his Master’s, and then to the University of Michigan for his Ph.D. His next big move was to California, where he became a professor at Cal State Los Angeles, ready to inspire others with his knowledge.

Life was full of professional wins and a lot of family happiness. As my biggest supporter throughout life, he’s always been my superman. Super smart, athletic, and my go-to for almost everything in life. But as time passed, he started facing the challenges that come with getting older. Of course, your body slows down a bit, but he started forgetting things, needing reminders around the house, and feeling less energetic became part of daily life, showing us the hard truth about aging.

Facing the Challenge

With that being said, I was brought up to be able to look at situations objectively and come up with solutions. Yes, there are physiological things that happen with 85 years of age, but we also have the tools and innovation to tackle situations just like this.

Having used hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) here over the past several years, I made it a point to get my dad into the chamber on a more consistent basis. It’s pretty simple—when you combine 100% oxygen and pressure, you get more oxygen into your tissues. Every cell needs oxygen to create energy. This is what is happening in your brain cells, therefore enhancing cognitive functioning and mental clarity. Think of it as the spark plugs in your car, firing better than ever before!

The Impact of HBOT

The difference HBOT made was subtle at first but undeniable. He had more energy, slept better, thought more clearly, and was overall in a much better mood. It felt like we were getting parts of him back that were missing for a while. At the end of the day, we are continuing to get more and more of our Superman back.

This story is more than just about us. It's a conversation starter about how we see aging and brain health. For those who are worried about similar issues, it shows that there might be new options worth trying.
