Think oxygen therapy is just for wound care? Think again.

In this episode of The Functional Edge, Dr. Julia Ward sits down with Dr. Alexander Borsand, whose personal journey with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) changed his life—and his career.

They explore how HBOT enhances healing, the real science behind its benefits, and why it’s still not part of everyday medicine.

From injury recovery to inflammation, this episode unpacks the oxygen your body’s been waiting for.


Dr. Alexander Borsand is a physician uniquely trained in both allopathic and naturopathic medicine, and a diplomat of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. After a life-altering injury and seven surgeries, he turned to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a last resort—and it changed everything.

Today, Dr. Borsand serves as the Head of Business Development and Community Outreach at Russo, Su, and is a certified trainer for the International Board of Undersea Medicine. He’s on a mission to make HBOT safe, accessible, and better understood—both in clinical practice and everyday wellness. With a passion fueled by personal experience, he advocates for therapies that empower the body’s innate healing potential.
