When to Start Hormone Replacement Therapy

EBO2 stands for Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation, and is second generation technology from the original EBOO. It is an advanced blood therapy performed outside the body, in a clean, closed system, under medical supervision.
Blood is drawn from one vein and flows through a sterile, single-use system. There, it passes through several stages: filtering, oxygen enrichment, and controlled ozone exposure. In the full EBO2 protocol, blood also passes through a light therapy chamber. Once treated, the clean, oxygen-rich blood returns to your body through a second vein.
Older ozone blood therapies treat a much smaller amount of blood, often less than a liter. EBO2 treats far more, typically four to seven liters in one visit. That is close to a large share of all the blood in your body. Treating more blood at once means broader effects from a single visit.

A first-generation EBOO uses a single basic filter membrane and typically processes about 1 to 3 liters of blood. Ozone stays low, and most of the finer material stays in circulation. That is the version 99% of other offices still run, and we do not offer it. Our lowest tier is High Volume EBOO: up to 2.5 times more blood filtered, 4 to 7 liters versus 1 to 3, through a multi-tier filter rather than a single basic membrane, still at a low ozone dose. Two tiers sit above that. Add therapeutic ozone and it is an EBO2 session. Add therapeutic ozone and Hemealumen Light and it is an EBO3 session.

High Volume EBOO means more of your blood through a finer filter, not a higher ozone dose. Blood leaves through one line, passes a multi-tier filter, and returns through a second line. A first-generation circuit, the version 99% of other offices still run, typically moves about 1 to 3 liters through a single basic membrane. In contrast, High Volume EBOO processes about 4 to 7 liters, which is up to 2.5 times more blood, and the multi-tier filter pulls out more of what that basic membrane leaves behind: inflammatory particles, lipid debris and fat droplets, and damaged cell fragments. Oxygen is still part of the circuit. What you are not getting is a therapeutic ozone dose, and you are not getting Hemealumen Light. Choose this for a first session, if you want the filtration without the full ozone price, if you tend to run sensitive to ozone, or if the goal right now is the cleanest pass with the gentler redox load. Redox means the oxidative signal ozone places on the blood. Gentler means a smaller signal, so the session cleans without asking as much of your antioxidant reserves. It is also where Dr. Cutler may start you if glutathione stores are low. Once you are cleared for treatment, the starting tier is his call in the consultation. Hemealumen Light can be added here for $300 a session, or $245 on a series, if you want the light without stepping up to therapeutic ozone.

EBO2 uses the same multi-tier filter and the same blood volume as High Volume EBOO. The difference is the ozone dose. We raise it into the therapeutic range, high enough to flip on a repair switch in your cells called Nrf2. Nrf2 is what tells your cells to rebuild glutathione, your main cellular antioxidant. You use it to clear oxidative stress, support detox, and keep inflammation from piling up as you age. When it runs low, energy drops and recovery slows.The second effect of EBO2 is on stem cells. Most of your repair cells are stem cells, and they sit in the bone marrow until something calls them out. EBO2 sends that call with therapeutic ozone. It improves blood flow and releases the messages that move those stem cells into the bloodstream, including the ones that rebuild the lining of your blood vessels. These are your own cells. Nothing is injected. As you get older, the marrow answers that call more slowly. Small vessel damage piles up, circulation gets lazier, and a workout, a bruise, or a hard week costs more than it used to. This is the session built so recovery and blood flow have a better chance of acting like they did a decade earlier. A lower ozone dose still filters the blood, but without therapeutic ozone that call is not sent. There is no Hemealumen Light on this tier. Choose it when you want the stem-cell repair effect without the light.

EBO3 is the complete session. You get the same multi-tier filtration, the same blood volume, and the same therapeutic ozone dose as EBO2, but now we are adding Hemealumen Light. Hemealumen Light is polychromatic light applied directly to the blood outside of the body, not a lamp on the skin. Several wavelengths hit the blood at once. Red and near-infrared support mitochondrial energy and ATP. Green supports easier flow, less clumping, and better oxygen uptake. Violet supports vessel relaxation and oxygen and nutrient delivery. UVA supports circulation and the NAD and NADH step in cellular energy. UVC is the wavelength that disrupts the genetic material of microbes in the blood being treated outside of the body. In blood research, that includes bacteria, many viruses, and some blood-borne parasites that live inside red blood cells. It is not a cleanse for gut parasites or worms. Dr. Cutler treats those separately, because this light only sees the blood being treated outside of the body. The same light also sends an immune signal. It wakes white blood cells in that treated blood and gives them a second cue on top of the ozone, so the immune response is stronger than ozone alone. People book this for the energy, the circulation, the microbial effect, and the deeper anti-inflammatory pass in the same visit. If you are doing a series, this is the one we recommend.
Daily life exposes you to chemicals, metals, and other toxins that build up over time. Your body works nonstop to clear them out. The filtering step in EBO2 is built to help remove waste, damaged cell bits, and inflammatory material from a large amount of blood at once.
Low-grade inflammation quietly drains your energy and clouds your thinking. The oxygen and ozone steps in EBO2 are built to support your body's own calming signals. When inflammation ties back to hormones or gut health, Dr. Cutler's lab testing helps find that link.
Thick, sluggish blood has a hard time moving oxygen where it's needed. EBO2 adds concentrated medical oxygen to your blood, helping blood flow and cell function.
A worn-down or unbalanced immune system can leave you feeling run-down all the time. EBO2 is built to support balance, helping your body respond the right amount, not too much or too little.










Special filters remove waste, damaged cell bits, and inflammatory particles from your blood as it flows through the system.
Your blood gets a boost of concentrated medical oxygen and a carefully measured amount of medical ozone.
Many EBO2 sessions add a light therapy step using our Hemealumen® system. This adds several colors of healing light to the treated blood.
Together, these steps are built to lighten your toxin load, calm inflammation, and help your blood carry oxygen and energy through your body. Many patients feel refreshed or clear-headed in the hours and days after a session, with benefits that build over time. Results vary from person to person.

Session length: 60–120 minutes, depending on your protocol.
Sessions needed: Often a series of at least three, spaced about a week apart, with maintenance based on your response.
Sensation: Similar to a standard IV visit, with minimal discomfort.
You relax in a comfortable recliner while your blood moves through the EBO2 system. You can rest, read, or just unwind. Most people find it calm and easy, similar to a routine IV visit.
Many patients feel energized or pleasantly relaxed right after their session. Some notice mild, short effects, like brief tiredness or a mild headache, for a day or two. This is often seen as a sign the body is responding. It usually settles with rest, water, and good food. Dr. Cutler's team will guide you through aftercare if needed.

Patients often experience better physical energy paired with clearer thinking, reduced anxiety or depressive symptoms, and an overall greater sense of balance and well-being.


EBO2 second-generation EBOO) is an advanced blood therapy that filters, oxygenates, and exposes a large volume of your blood to medical-grade ozone outside the body, often paired with light therapy, before returning it to you. It supports detoxification, lower inflammation, and cellular health.


EBO2 treats a much larger volume of blood, typically four to seven liters compared to one to three liters with older methods, and often adds advanced filtration, higher therapeutic ozone, and multi-wavelength light therapy. Many patients see in one EBO2 session what once took multiple older-style treatments and those still couldn’t achieve what EBO2 could.


When performed by trained medical professionals using sterile, single-use equipment, EBO2 is generally well-tolerated. A thorough pre-treatment screening, including possible relevant labs, helps confirm it's appropriate for you.


Most patients describe EBO2 as similar to a standard IV visit, with minimal discomfort. Many find it relaxing and use the time to rest or unwind.


Most EBO2 sessions take 60 to 120 minutes, depending on your protocol and whether light therapy is included.


This is personalized. Many patients start with a series of at least three sessions, spaced about a week apart, followed by maintenance every one to three months based on your response.


Yes. EBO2 pairs especially well with Hemealumen® light therapy and ClubIV™ nutrient therapy, and fits into a broader plan built around your labs and health goals.


Most patients tolerate EBO2 well. Some notice mild, short-lived effects like temporary fatigue, a mild headache, or lightheadedness as the body responds. Mild bruising at IV sites is also possible. Serious side effects are uncommon when performed by properly trained professionals.


EBO2 isn't appropriate for everyone. People who are pregnant, anyone with an active bleeding disorder, severe anemia, uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, or uncontrolled hyperthyroidism should discuss alternatives with Dr. Cutler. A full screening at your consultation determines candidacy.


Some patients feel more energized or clear-headed the same day. Benefits often build over the days and weeks that follow, especially across a full series of sessions.


Because protocols are personalized, and often paired with Hemealumen® or ClubIV™, pricing is discussed during your consultation, based on the plan Dr. Cutler recommends for you.


Dr. Doug Cutler, ND, personalizes every EBO2 protocol based on your labs, health history, and goals, and integrates it into a broader root-cause plan rather than offering it as a standalone, generic treatment.
