Ozone Therapy 101: Oxygen, Inflammation, Benefits and Genetic Clues That Matter

Did you know your genetics can influence how your body responds to viruses, inflammation, and oxygen therapy? In this episode of #get2theroot with Hope for Healing, Dr. Paula Kruppstadt and Lauren Peters break down ozone therapy, how it works in the body, and why certain genetic markers (like SOCS1 and TRAF1) can make ozone especially powerful for reducing viral load and calming inflammation.

We explore what ozone really is (and what it isn’t), how medical-grade ozone is safely used, and why optimal oxygen utilization is essential for mitochondrial health, immune balance, and healing. This conversation also covers chronic infections, toxin exposure, cytokine storms, Herxheimer reactions, and common misconceptions about ozone therapy.

If you’re navigating chronic illness, viral reactivation, inflammation, or simply want to support your body at the root, this episode offers education, clarity, and hope.
