Our Functional Approach
Giving Your Cells Better Oxygen Support So You Can Do More With Less Strain
Living with low energy, slow recovery, or that lingering “never quite back to normal” feeling can be exhausting. You may be sleeping, taking your medications, and doing your best, yet still feel like your body is not keeping up with your life.
Ozone therapy at Lam Clinic uses medical-grade ozone (O₃), a specialized three-atom form of oxygen, to help your cells use oxygen more efficiently and support your body’s natural healing processes.
In a typical session, a small amount of your blood is drawn, gently mixed with a precisely measured dose of medical ozone in a sterile, closed system, then reinfused through an IV so it can circulate throughout your body.
This carefully controlled process can trigger helpful responses such as better oxygen delivery to your tissues, activation of your antioxidant systems, improved circulation, and support for healthier mitochondrial function. Sessions are usually about an hour, and many patients simply read, work on a laptop, or relax while being monitored by our clinical team.
Evidence for ozone therapy is still evolving, results vary from person to person, and some uses are not FDA-approved. At Lam Clinic in Tustin, California, ozone therapy is always physician-supervised and folded into a personalized, root-cause care plan so it fits your biology, your goals, and your timeline.
Foundations of Care
The Four Pillars of
Ozone Therapy at Lam Clinic
Our ozone therapy plans are built around four key pillars so treatment feels clear, safe, and truly personal.
Oxygen Focused Evaluation
We look at your energy, immunity, circulation, and recovery history, then screen labs and medications to decide if supporting your oxygen use with ozone is the right next step for you.
Personalized Ozone Dosing
Your ozone dose, session length, and treatment frequency are set for your body, and are adjusted based on how you feel and how you respond over time.
Whole System Support Around Each Session
We pair ozone therapy with simple support for hydration, nutrition, sleep, stress, and when appropriate IV nutrients, so your cells have what they need to use oxygen more effectively.
Steady Tracking and Course Correction
We follow your symptoms, stamina, and key markers, then fine tune your plan or maintenance schedule so ozone therapy remains helpful, sustainable, and well integrated with your other care.
Patient Profiles
Who May Benefit from Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy is usually considered when you feel like your body is working harder than it should just to get through the day. Many people who ask about it are tired of feeling “not quite back to normal,” even though they are sleeping, taking their medications, and trying to do all the right things.
At Lam Clinic, ozone therapy may be a good option to discuss if you:
- Have persistent low energy or afternoon crashes despite adequate sleep
- Get frequent colds, recover slowly from illness, or feel your immunity is not as strong as it used to be
- Live with post viral fatigue or long COVID symptoms that never fully cleared
- Notice chronic inflammation, joint discomfort, or tendon issues that limit what you can do
- Have poor circulation, cold hands or feet, or slow wound healing
- Struggle with brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or stress related fatigue
- Are interested in proactive health optimization and longevity support, not just fixing a crisis
- Prefer root cause medicine instead of short term symptom management

Our Healing Process
How Ozone Therapy Works at Lam Clinic Using the Lam Method™
Many people who come to us for ozone therapy feel worn down, stuck in slow recovery, or unsure what else to try.
At Lam Clinic, ozone therapy is never a one time quick fix. It is part of a complete, physician supervised plan led by doctors who understand fatigue, post viral issues, immune imbalance, and complex chronic illness.
We use the Lam Method™ so ozone is done at the right time, with the right support, and for the right reasons.
Here is how it works at Lam Clinic:
1. Reveal Root Causes
Before we recommend ozone therapy, we work to understand why your body is struggling. We listen to your story and review your medications, supplements, and past labs.
We use the NeuroEndoMetabolic (NEM) Stress Response model to see how your main systems interact instead of looking at one symptom at a time. This model describes six key circuits that often drive how you feel:
- Hormone Circuit
Adrenals, thyroid, and reproductive organs. Often linked with fatigue, sleep problems, weight changes, hot flashes, and low libido. - Bioenergetics Circuit
Thyroid, pancreas, and liver. Tied to blood sugar swings, cravings, belly weight, and cholesterol or prediabetes concerns. - Detoxification Circuit
Liver, immune system, and tissue spaces. Can show up as chemical or supplement sensitivity, feeling puffy or “toxic,” or strong reactions to small exposures. - Inflammation Circuit
Immune system, microbiome, and gut. Often involved in food reactions, bloating, constipation or diarrhea, joint pain, and autoimmune flares. - Neuroaffect Circuit
Gut, brain, and autonomic nervous system. Commonly linked with anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep quality, and low mood. - Cardionomic Circuit
Autonomic nervous system, heart, and adrenals. Associated with palpitations, fast heart rate, dizziness on standing, and shortness of breath.
As we map these circuits, we also complete focused screening so ozone therapy can be done safely. Depending on your history, this may include:
- G6PD enzyme testing when family history or ethnicity suggests risk
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Additional functional medicine labs based on your health profile
- Medication compatibility review, especially anticoagulants and other key drugs
Who Should Wait or Talk With Us First
Ozone therapy is not right for everyone, and safety always comes first. Some situations call for extra caution or a different approach.
Please contact us before scheduling ozone therapy if you have:
- Active pregnancy or are breastfeeding
- Known G6PD deficiency, also called favism, or a strong family history of it
- Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or severe anemia
- An active bleeding disorder, very recent major surgery, or an upcoming procedure
- Severe lung disease with oxygen dependence or frequent bronchospasm
- A recent heart attack, stroke, organ transplant, or active cancer treatment without oncologist clearance
- High dose anticoagulant use or a complex medication regimen that needs careful review
At Lam Clinic, we carefully screen every patient and coordinate with your other providers when needed. Our goal is to make sure ozone therapy fits safely and realistically into your overall health plan, not to add one more thing that works against it.
These results and safety checks help us decide whether ozone therapy is a good fit, how strong it should be, and how to time it with the rest of your care.
2. Rebuild Systems
If ozone therapy looks appropriate, we design a plan that supports your whole system, not just one symptom. We explain what happens in a session and how it may help your body work more efficiently.
What happens during a treatment session
- Duration
Most ozone sessions last about 60 minutes. - Process
A small amount of your blood, usually 50 to 200 milliliters depending on the protocol, is drawn into a sterile closed system, mixed with a precisely measured dose of medical ozone, then gently reinfused through an IV. - Comfort
Most patients read, use a laptop, or simply relax during treatment. - Supervision
Sessions are carried out under physician oversight with Registered Nurses on staff.
Your exact protocol is personalized. The initial phase often includes 1 to 2 sessions per week for 4 to 8 weeks, then shifts to a maintenance rhythm based on your response and goals.
What ozone is doing in your body
As ozone interacts with your blood, it creates short lived signaling molecules that your body uses to adjust how it works. Research and clinical experience suggest several key actions:
- Enhanced oxygen utilization
Ozone generated signaling molecules help your cells use oxygen more efficiently. This supports mitochondrial function, the energy factories in each cell, so daily tasks may feel less draining. - Antioxidant system activation
Properly dosed ozone acts as a gentle hormetic stressor. In response, your body boosts its own antioxidant defenses, including glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase, which can provide longer lasting protection against oxidative stress. - Immune modulation
Ozone can stimulate beneficial cytokines and other immune messengers while helping to calm overactive immune responses. This dual effect is why it may be useful both when immunity feels low and when it feels “overheated,” as in some autoimmune patterns. - Circulation and healing support
Ozone may improve red blood cell flexibility and oxygen release, support nitric oxide production for healthier blood vessel function, and encourage growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration.
All treatments use sterile, closed system equipment, and ozone is never inhaled. Your plan may also include IV nutrient support, minerals, and simple steps for sleep, stress, and steady nutrition to help your body rebuild more smoothly.
3. Renew Your Future
After your initial series of treatments, we step back and look at the whole picture again. We review how you feel day to day, how your stamina and recovery have changed, and what your follow up labs show.
Together, we decide on the next phase, which may include:
- A simple maintenance schedule, such as monthly or as needed sessions if ozone clearly helps
- A pause in treatment with continued focus on nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress tools
- Periodic lab checks to track inflammation, immune balance, and cardiometabolic risk markers
What to expect after treatment
- Right after a session
Most people feel normal or slightly energized. - Over the next 24 to 48 hours
Some notice mild flu-like symptoms as the body adapts and detoxifies. This is sometimes called a Herxheimer reaction and is usually short lived. - Over the first 1 to 4 weeks
Many patients report gradual changes in energy, recovery, immunity, or mental clarity, especially when ozone is combined with other parts of their plan. - With ongoing care
Benefits often build with consistent treatment and the right lifestyle support. We adjust dosing and frequency so ozone therapy remains a practical, sustainable part of your routine.
Proven Excellence
Why Choose Lam Clinic
Unlike spas or wellness centers that offer ozone as a stand alone service, Lam Clinic provides comprehensive medical care. Our board certified physicians create personalized treatment plans based on your labs, symptoms, health history, and specific goals, not one size fits all protocols.
Ozone therapy is always one part of a broader strategy that may also include nutrition, hormone support, gut health work, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle tools. This keeps your care grounded in real life and aligned with what your body can handle.
We do not just chase symptoms. We use the Lam Method™, our proprietary framework built on years of clinical experience with complex, chronic illness, to understand how your systems are interacting and where they are under strain. This guides how we decide if ozone therapy is right for you, how to time it, what to pair it with, and how to support your body before and after each session.
Most people tolerate ozone therapy well when it is done in a controlled, sterile setting by trained clinicians. Side effects are usually mild and short lived, and we screen carefully before you start to lower risk.
Common and temporary effects can include small bruises or vein tenderness at the draw site, brief fatigue or headache, or short lived flu like feelings as your body adapts. These usually resolve on their own.
Less common effects may include nausea or a warm sensation during or soon after treatment, or mild irritation at the IV site. We monitor you throughout each visit so we can respond quickly if you feel uncomfortable.
Rare but important risks include infection, which we keep low by using sterile, closed systems, and red blood cell stress in people with G6PD deficiency. This is why we screen for G6PD when indicated and carefully review your medications, especially anticoagulants and other key drugs.
Ozone is never inhaled. Every plan includes informed consent, personalized dosing, and direct physician oversight. We ask you to tell us if you develop new symptoms, start a new medication, or have a procedure coming up so we can adjust your plan and keep you safe.
Our goal is not only to provide ozone therapy, but to make it a thoughtful, well supported part of a larger plan that helps you feel heard, safe, and genuinely supported in your healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is medical ozone and how is it different from environmental ozone?
Medical ozone is pharmaceutical grade O₃ produced by medical generators under controlled conditions. Environmental ozone is an air pollutant that should never be inhaled. Medical ozone is administered via autohemotherapy, never by breathing, which makes it very different from environmental exposure.
Is ozone therapy safe?
Safety comes first. We review your history and medications, use sterile closed systems, and screen for G6PD when indicated. Most people tolerate treatment well with only mild, short lived side effects.
Is ozone therapy FDA approved?
Some applications of ozone therapy are not FDA approved. We offer it as part of an integrative, physician supervised functional medicine program with full informed consent. Many therapies used in functional medicine are considered “off label” uses of approved medical techniques.
Who is a good candidate?
People seek ozone therapy for low energy, frequent colds, post viral fatigue, lingering inflammation, workout recovery, and prevention. Even if you are not sick, it can support resilience and healthy aging.
Who should avoid or delay treatment?
Please talk to us first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have known G6PD deficiency, uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, severe anemia, severe lung disease, active bleeding, recent major surgery, or a recent heart attack or stroke. We also review anticoagulants and complex medication plans.
What are the side effects?
Common and brief effects include vein tenderness or small bruises, mild fatigue or headache, and short lived flu like feelings. Less common effects include nausea or warmth during or soon after treatment. Infection is rare with sterile technique. We screen for G6PD deficiency when indicated.
Does ozone therapy hurt?
No. The blood draw feels like a standard lab draw. The reinfusion is similar to receiving an IV. Most patients find the process comfortable and use the time to relax, read, or catch up on work.
How many sessions will I need?
Plans are personalized. Many people start with a series over four to eight weeks, then shift to maintenance based on progress.
Can I combine ozone therapy with other treatments?
Yes. Ozone therapy pairs well with IV nutrient therapy, targeted supplementation, dietary modifications, stress management techniques, and other functional medicine interventions. We create integrated treatment plans tailored to your needs.
How do I prepare for a visit?
Eat a normal meal and hydrate. Avoid starting new supplements on the first session unless prescribed. Tell us if you feel unwell, start a new medication, or have a procedure coming up.
Can I work or exercise after treatment?
Most patients resume normal activities immediately. Some prefer to take it easy the first day. We recommend avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours after your initial treatment to see how your body responds.
Who performs the treatments?
All ozone therapy at Lam Clinic is administered by Registered Nurses under the direct supervision of our board certified physicians who specialize in functional and integrative medicine.
Is ozone therapy safe during pregnancy?
No. We do not perform ozone therapy on pregnant or breastfeeding women due to insufficient safety data.
How does ozone compare to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)?
HBOT delivers high pressure oxygen to tissues for wound healing and specific medical conditions. Ozone therapy uses hormetic oxidative stress to activate cellular defenses and improve oxygen utilization. One key difference is that HBOT often requires many sessions (on average about 30 to 45), while ozone therapy ranges from about 4 to 12 treatments. Ozone therapy also works directly into the bloodstream, whereas HBOT works primarily through oxygen diffusion under pressure.
How does ozone compare to NAD+ IV therapy?
NAD+ therapy directly supplements a key cellular energy molecule. Ozone therapy improves mitochondrial function and oxygen metabolism. Many patients use them in a complementary way, either alternating or combining these treatments as part of a broader energy support plan.
What does it cost and is it covered by insurance?
We share transparent price ranges and package options at your consult. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds. Insurance typically does not cover ozone therapy itself.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most PPO insurance plans. Coverage varies by plan and benefits. We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid/Medi-Cal, or HMO plans, but are able to offer affordable cash based pricing. We will discuss which labs and therapies are typically covered and design a plan that minimizes non covered costs while keeping the clinical impact high.
Where are you located, and what visit options do you offer?
We serve Orange County and surrounding areas from our Tustin clinic for in person ozone care. Telehealth visits are available if you prefer to meet from home or work, and we guide you through forms and any labs needed before your appointment.
Wondering if Ozone Therapy
is Worth Trying?
If you are doing all the “right things” and still feel stuck, ozone therapy may be worth exploring in a safe, physician supervised setting like Lam Clinic.
During your consultation, we will review your symptoms, health history, and goals, then give you an honest opinion about whether ozone therapy is likely to help as part of your overall plan.
You can also ask about pricing, timing, and how we personalize care so it fits real life, not the other way around. A Treatment Coordinator will connect with you after you inquire.
