Why USE THE HOCATT WITH MOLD

HOCATT: Your Best Friend for Mold Sickness Recovery

"Every time I took a shower I would feel exhausted and sick afterwards. Then we realized there was mold in the bathroom"

"We were sick all winter every year no matter how healthy we tried to be. Then we realized there was mold in our furnace. "

" I felt like anything I did I had to do it the first time because I did not have energy to do it again. Then I realized there was mold in my house. "

Mold sickness is not in your imagination it is REAL and impacts every area of your life. Studies say it can increase.

Mental/emotional problems - A 2024 state-of-the-science review found residential mold exposure was associated with depression, stress and anxiety in adults and emotional symptoms/emotional dysregulation in children. PubMed Central (PMC) A newer systematic review of children and young people similarly found mold/damp housing associated with poorer mental-health outcomes, including emotional and behavioral problems.

Respiratory health: ✅ This is where the evidence is strongest. Moldy buildings are consistently associated with respiratory symptoms, infections, asthma development or worsening, cough and wheezing.

So how do you heal your body along with getting rid of the mold in your home.

The moment you think it is mold I recommend working with someone experienced and qualified in mold sickness to support your health. It may feel expensive but in the end the cost will pay for it self in health and not guessing but having a direct plan.

That brings us to the HOCATT. The HOCATT has several components especially for mold sickness detox and healing.

HOCATT may just become your body's best friend during mold recovery.

Why? Because HOCATT isn't just one therapy. In one approximately 30-minute session, it combines several powerful wellness modalities that support your body from different directions.

You get heat and deep sweating, far-infrared, transdermal ozone, CO₂, oxygen, PEMF and microcurrent.

Instead of asking your body to do all the work on its own, the goal is to give it more tools to do what it was designed to do—circulate, oxygenate, produce energy, sweat and recover.

Here are some of my favorite reasons to use HOCATT during mold recovery.

1. SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT!

Let's start with one of the most obvious things that happens in the HOCATT—you sweat!

And I mean really sweat.

Sweating is one of the ways our bodies eliminate unwanted substances. Research using infrared sauna has actually measured substances such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel in human sweat.

Think about that for a minute.

Your skin isn't simply covering your body. It can participate in elimination.

For someone whose body has been dealing with environmental exposures, I love the idea of intentionally supporting one of the body's natural elimination pathways.

Heat + circulation + sweat = one of my favorite parts of HOCATT for mold recovery.

2. OZONE: WHAT MAKES HOCATT REALLY DIFFERENT

You could go sit in a sauna and sweat. So why HOCATT?

One big reason is ozone.

During HOCATT, ozone is introduced into the steam chamber around your body while your head remains outside the chamber.

Ozone is fascinating because it creates a brief oxidative signal that can stimulate the body's own protective systems.

Research on medical ozone has shown effects on Nrf2, an important pathway involved in our antioxidant response. Studies have also demonstrated changes in glutathione, antioxidant enzymes and inflammatory signaling.

In simple language?

Ozone gives the body a little challenge that can stimulate its own protective response.

For a body that has been through prolonged environmental stress, I think this is one of the most exciting pieces of HOCATT.

3. CO₂ GETS THE BLOOD MOVING

This is probably the HOCATT feature that doesn't get nearly enough attention.

HOCATT uses CO₂ to support vasodilation—basically helping blood vessels open up and increasing peripheral circulation.

And there is some really interesting research behind this.

In one human study, local blood-flow measurements during transcutaneous CO₂ exposure increased from approximately 5.8 to 30.3 perfusion units.

That is a dramatic change in local microcirculation.

Why do I care so much about circulation?

Because blood is your body's transportation system.

It brings oxygen and nutrients into tissues and carries metabolic byproducts away.

When you are trying to help the body recover, you want things moving.

4. THEN ADD OXYGEN

Now this is where the combination starts getting really interesting.

You're warm.

You're sweating.

Your circulation is increasing.

And HOCATT can simultaneously give you supplemental oxygen to breathe.

Our mitochondria use oxygen to help make ATP—the energy our cells use to function.

This is especially interesting when one of the biggest complaints I hear from people dealing with chronic health issues is:

“I'm just so tired.”

The goal isn't simply to give you oxygen. HOCATT combines oxygen with several modalities designed to support circulation and cellular function.

I love that combination.

5. FAR-INFRARED DOES MORE THAN MAKE YOU SWEAT

Far-infrared contributes to the wonderful deep heat you experience in HOCATT, but heat therapy itself is fascinating.

Research on repeated far-infrared sauna therapy has demonstrated improvements in measures of vascular endothelial function.

So while you may just think, “Wow, I'm getting a really good sweat,” your cardiovascular and circulatory systems are responding to that heat as well.

Heat + infrared + circulation + sweating.

They work beautifully together.

6. PEMF SUPPORTS THE ELECTRICAL SIDE OF YOUR BODY

We tend to think of our bodies only in terms of chemistry—vitamins, minerals, hormones, medications and supplements.

But your body is electrical too.

Your heart, nerves and cells all depend on electrical activity.

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It has been studied for applications involving pain, musculoskeletal recovery, tissue healing and cellular signaling.

And you don't have to schedule a separate PEMF appointment.

It's happening right there during your HOCATT session.

7. MICROCURRENT ADDS ANOTHER LAYER

HOCATT can also incorporate very low-level electrical microcurrent.

Microcurrent has been studied for its effects on cellular activity, tissue repair and processes related to ATP production.

Again, I love that we're not relying on one pathway.

Heat. Sweat. Circulation. Oxygen. Ozone. PEMF. Microcurrent.

Your body is receiving several different types of support in one session.

BUT HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE I REALLY LOVE ABOUT HOCATT

It can be customized to YOU.

This is especially important when someone has been sick for a long time.

Not everyone needs to start with everything turned all the way up!

We can adjust the session and turn off individual modalities when needed. We can start gently and increase things as your body becomes more comfortable.

Some people are ready for a full session.

Others need to start slowly.

Meet your body where it is and build from there.

I absolutely love this aspect of HOCATT because recovery isn't one-size-fits-all.

AND THERE ARE SOME PRETTY AMAZING STORIES

This is where things get really interesting.

One HOCATT client whose story was shared by Leading Edge Wellness reported repeat mycotoxin testing with remarkable changes.

Their reported mycophenolic acid changed from:

2,104 → <37.4

And their reported ochratoxin A changed from:

35 → 0

That is one person's experience, but it certainly caught my attention!

LifeWorks Wellness Center has also shared the story of a patient dealing with mold, Lyme and autoimmunity who reported significant improvements in brain fog and fatigue while participating in a broader program that incorporated HOCATT.

These are exactly the kinds of experiences that make me excited to see more research done specifically with HOCATT and mold recovery.

WHY I LOVE HOCATT FOR MOLD RECOVERY

The beauty of HOCATT is not just ozone.

It's not just sauna.

It's not just oxygen.

It's the combination.

While you're sitting there for approximately 30 minutes, you are giving your body support for:

Deep sweating
Circulation and microcirculation
Oxygen availability
Antioxidant and redox signaling
Cellular energy production
Healthy inflammatory balance
Cellular and tissue recovery

And you're doing it all at the same time.

If you've been working hard on your mold recovery but feel like your body could use some additional support, HOCATT is absolutely a therapy I would consider adding to your toolbox.

Sometimes recovery isn't about finding one magical thing.

It's about giving the body the right environment and enough support to begin moving forward again.

And that is exactly what I love about HOCATT.
