What’s real hyperbaric medicine — and what’s just hype?
In this episode of Rubin On Point, Dr. Dan Rubin, ND, FABNO, sits down with Dr. Carrie Bordinko, RN, BSN, MD, the visionary founder of Benessair Health, to unravel the truth about hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Together, they explore its legitimate medical applications, its role in resilience and healing, and the dangers of unregulated hyperbaric centers popping up across the country.
