Ozone O₃ Therapy in San Diego, CA
Schedule a ConsultRestore Vitality at Katalyst Hormone & Wellness Clinic
The human body is designed to heal, yet modern stressors and environmental burdens can slow that natural process. At Katalyst Wellness Clinic in San Diego, we use medical‑grade ozone to reignite the body’s own healing intelligence.
By gently infusing purified ozone into your bloodstream, we accelerate cellular repair and full-body rejuvenation from the inside out.
What Is Medical Ozone Therapy?
Ozone is a three‑atom form of oxygen (O₃). In a controlled medical setting, it becomes a gentle yet powerful biological signal. When ozone touches blood or tissue, it quickly transforms into oxygen and reactive oxygen species.
These by‑products activate pathways that influence antioxidant balance, mitochondrial efficiency, circulation, and immune modulation. Unlike many quick‑fix treatments, ozone does not mask symptoms. It nudges cells to restore the redox state, balance cytokine production, and increase oxygen delivery at the microvascular level.
At Katalyst, ozone is delivered intravenously (major autohemotherapy). Every session begins with sterile, single‑use materials. Blood is drawn, enriched with precise ozone‑oxygen concentration, then returned to the bloodstream. The entire encounter lasts about an hour, and clients typically relax in a recliner while monitored by trained medical staff.
Learn how regular ozone therapy can boost energy, immunity, and recovery in our full guide.
How Ozone Therapy Works
Oxygenation and Mitochondrial Reboot
Inside every cell, mitochondria convert nutrients into ATP, the energy currency that powers movement, cognition, and repair. Toxins, chronic stress, and aging can hinder that ATP production.
Ozone triggers transient oxidative stress that awakens mitochondrial enzymes such as cytochrome‑c oxidase. As antioxidant systems respond, cells up‑regulate glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase. Over time, this process raises the efficiency of oxygen use and revitalizes tired tissues.
Immune Modulation
Ozone fine‑tunes immunity instead of simply stimulating it. When pathogen load is high, ozone‑induced signaling boosts phagocytic activity and interferon release.
When auto‑reactive pathways dominate, ozone reduces excessive inflammatory mediators like TNF‑alpha and IL‑6. The net effect is an immune system that is alert yet balanced, less prone to overreaction, and better at clearing lingering infections.
Microcirculation and Oxygen Delivery
By improving red‑blood‑cell deformability and enhancing nitric‑oxide synthesis, ozone therapy widens tiny capillaries. Better flow means more oxygen reaches organs, muscles, and connective tissue.
Athletes appreciate faster lactic‑acid clearance, while clients with cold hands and feet notice warmer extremities within a few sessions.
Detoxification
The transient oxidative push from ozone activates nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2). This transcription factor governs hundreds of detoxification genes, enabling the liver to process environmental chemicals and metabolic waste more effectively.
Clients often describe clearer skin, sharper cognition, and lighter mood as oxidative load decreases.
Conditions We Help With Ozone Therapy
Chronic Fatigue and Low Energy
Chronic fatigue stems from underperforming mitochondria, viral persistence, hormonal imbalance, or all three. Low‑grade infections drain ATP, and stressed mitochondria create excess free radicals that prolong exhaustion.
Ozone addresses both root causes. Improved mitochondrial output raises baseline energy, while antiviral effects clear latent pathogens such as Epstein‑Barr and cytomegalovirus. Clients frequently report steadier stamina, better sleep quality, and renewed zest after a four‑to‑six session protocol.
Persistent Inflammation and Pain
Inflammation is a protective response, yet when it lingers it damages cartilage, nerves, and blood vessels. Common culprits include oxidative stress, poor circulation, and dysregulated cytokines. Ozone modulates NF‑kB signaling, stimulates antioxidant defenses, and generates mild hyper‑oxygenation that calms inflamed tissue.
Systemic ozone therapy has been shown to lower C-reactive protein and other inflammatory markers, helping reduce persistent inflammation and pain.
Sports Recovery and Performance
Intense training tears muscle fibers and exhausts glycogen stores. Inadequate recovery can stifle progress and invite injury. Ozone speeds muscle repair by elevating oxygen availability and optimizing metabolic pathways.
Enhanced capillary perfusion clears lactate faster, shortens delayed‑onset muscle soreness, and restores full‑range motion. Many endurance athletes notice improved VO₂ max, while strength athletes comment on quicker rebound between heavy sessions.
Immune Support and Infection Resilience
Frequent colds, lingering sinus infections, and slow wound healing point to an immune system that is struggling. Ozone fortifies first‑line defenses by stimulating macrophages and natural killer cells.
It also interferes with bacterial cell walls and viral capsid proteins, making microbes easier to eliminate. Clients who integrate ozone during cold‑and‑flu season often experience fewer sick days and milder symptoms.
Cardiometabolic Health
Poor vascular function and chronic oxidative stress contribute to hypertension, insulin resistance, and elevated triglycerides. Ozone promotes endothelial nitric‑oxide release, which relaxes vessels and improves blood pressure regulation.
Enhanced antioxidant gene expression protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation, a key driver of plaque formation. Over several months, clients may see improvements in fasting glucose, lipid profiles, and blood pressure readings.
Autoimmune Conditions
An over‑active immune response can target joints, skin, thyroid tissue, and the digestive lining. Ozone tempers cytokine storms by balancing Th1 and Th2 pathways. The therapy up‑regulates T‑regulatory cells that keep auto‑reactive clones in check.
Clients with rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto thyroiditis, or inflammatory bowel conditions frequently describe reduced flare frequency and lighter medication loads when ozone is combined with nutrition and hormone optimization.
Why the Katalyst Method Stands Apart
Integrative Functional Medicine Framework
Ozone works best inside a holistic plan. Our clinic pairs ozone with bio‑identical hormone optimization, micronutrient therapy, peptide protocols, and lifestyle coaching.
This synergy amplifies results and sustains them long term. Weekly case conferences allow our clinicians to refine your plan as labs improve and symptoms fade.
Physician‑Led, Patient‑Centered Care
Every session is administered by a registered nurse under the supervision of a licensed physician. Our team is here to guide you through each step, answer questions, and track your progress.
We schedule generous appointment windows, so you never feel rushed. Our infusion lounge offers privacy, promoting a restorative environment while ozone does its work.
Your Personalized Treatment Journey
Consultation and Evaluation
Ozone therapy at Katalyst does not require a prior consultation with Dr. Camhi. If you have recent lab work and would like to review it in detail, this can be addressed during a separate HRT consultation. For ozone treatments, our team will ensure you are safely and comfortably prepared for your session.
Treatment Series
Many clients choose a series of six to ten infusions, spaced five to seven days apart, to maximize results. However, even one or two treatments can provide noticeable benefits, you don’t need to commit to a full series to experience the positive effects of ozone therapy. During infusion, we monitor vital signs and maintain communication, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed.
Maintenance and Lifestyle Integration
When goals are met, many clients transition to monthly or seasonal “top‑up” sessions. We recommend pairing these with nutrition plans, hormone balance check‑ups, and stress resilience coaching to preserve gains.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ozone O₃ Therapy
Is ozone therapy safe?
When performed by trained medical staff using certified devices and sterile technique, ozone therapy has a strong safety record. Mild effects such as temporary vein irritation or light fatigue can appear, yet severe reactions are rare and short‑lived.
How soon will I feel results?
Some clients notice improved clarity and energy after the first session. Chronic conditions often need three to five infusions before meaningful shifts occur, as mitochondrial and immune adaptations build gradually.
Can ozone therapy replace my medication?
We never advise discontinuing prescribed drugs without collaboration between our physicians and your specialists. Ozone can reduce dependency in many cases, yet tapering must be supervised to ensure a smooth transition.
How long do the benefits last?
Duration depends on lifestyle, diet, and ongoing stress load. Clients who maintain balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and regular movement tend to sustain results for months. Periodic maintenance infusions can refresh antioxidant reserves and prolong benefits.
Is ozone therapy appropriate for athletes in competition?
Yes. Because ozone is a naturally occurring molecule that simply raises antioxidant and oxygen‑delivery capacity, athletic governing bodies have not banned it. Many professionals schedule infusions during off weeks to enhance recovery.
