A physiology-driven framework for preventive and executive health, Y4 Oxygen-First is a medical framework focused on how efficiently the body delivers, stabilizes, and utilizes oxygen before disease develops.
Modern medicine excels at diagnosing disease once it is established. What it often misses is the early loss of physiologic reserve, the subtle strain that accumulates long before abnormal tests appear.
Many individuals with normal labs and imaging experience:
These signals are often dismissed because routine testing appears “normal.”
Oxygen is not just a saturation number.
Loss of reserve often appears first, before disease is detectable.
Efficiency of ventilation, airway mechanics, and gas exchange not just resting values.
Overnight oxygen stability, sleep fragmentation, and neurologic recovery capacity.
How effectively oxygen is converted into usable energy at the cellular level.
The physiologic oxygen demand created by chronic stress and high cognitive output.
Professionals and executives with sustained cognitive or physical demands
Individuals with fatigue or reduced resilience despite “normal” testing
Those seeking upstream prevention rather than late-stage intervention
Y4 Oxygen-First is a framework, not a protocol - grounded in physiology and personalized.
