Altitude Therapy (IHHT) at Riddle Wellness
A calm, guided wellness session designed to support how your body responds to oxygen.
At Riddle Wellness, we are always looking for thoughtful ways to support whole-body wellness. One of the tools we may use as part of that approach is Altitude Therapy (IHHT) with Mito2.
This patient-friendly session uses guided changes in oxygen availability during rest to create a structured wellness experience. Many patients are drawn to it because it is comfortable, noninvasive, and easy to add to a broader wellness plan.
Responsive Oxygen Training is a simple way to describe this approach. It refers to guided oxygen variation designed to support the body’s natural adaptive response in a calm, controlled setting.

A Simple Way to Think About It
Your cells need the right environment to do their job well.
A simple way to understand that environment is through three basics:
1. Oxygen
Cells rely on oxygen to support normal energy production.
2. Fuel
Your body also needs fuel from nutrition, including glucose and other nutrients, to help keep normal cellular processes moving.
3. Stimulation
Cells and tissues respond to input. Depending on the setting, that may include movement, exercise, light-based therapies, sound, temperature, or other forms of guided stimulation.
Many wellness services focus on just one piece of that equation. At Riddle Wellness, we believe it is worth looking at the bigger picture.
Why Riddle Wellness Includes Altitude Therapy (IHHT)
Some services are centered on stimulation alone. Others focus on metabolic or lifestyle support. Altitude Therapy (IHHT) gives us another way to support the body’s internal environment by working with guided oxygen variation in a structured setting.
That is one reason it stands out.
It is not about doing more for the sake of doing more. It is about using a more complete lens when thinking about wellness, recovery, resilience, and performance readiness.
At Riddle Wellness, we may use Responsive Oxygen Training as part of that broader conversation.
What a Session Looks Like
During a session, you relax while the system guides you through structured changes in oxygen availability.
Your experience is customized by Dr. Nate Riddle and the Riddle Wellness team based on your comfort, your goals, and your screening results.
Sessions are designed to be:
- Comfortable
- Seated or reclined
- Noninvasive
- Guided by your provider’s protocol
- Easy to combine with a broader wellness plan
The Science, Explained Simply
Your body is designed to notice changes in oxygen availability.
One of the signaling systems often discussed in this area of physiology is HIF-1α. In simple terms, HIF-1α helps the body recognize changes in oxygen conditions and respond through normal adaptive signaling.
That is part of why Altitude Therapy (IHHT) and other oxygen-based training strategies have received growing attention in conversations around recovery, performance readiness, and cellular wellness.
At Riddle Wellness, we use this concept as part of a broader, patient-centered wellness approach.
A Simple Brain and Nerve Cell Explainer
If you think about brain cells and nerve cells in simple terms, they rely on three essentials to function well:
- Oxygen
- Fuel
- Input
Oxygen helps support normal cellular energy production. Fuel helps power the system. Input helps tissues stay engaged and responsive.
That is why many modern wellness plans combine more than one strategy instead of relying on a single modality alone.
At Riddle Wellness, Altitude Therapy (IHHT) may be used alongside other wellness services as part of a more complete approach.
