Beyond Normal

How the New Science of Enhanced Medicine Elevates Peak Performance and Repairs Brain Injuries

For decades, modern medicine has predominantly focused on restoring health to a conventionally “normal” state for our age and medical history. But shouldn’t we aim to go beyond normal?

Whether you’re twenty or eighty years old, have experienced a stroke, battle PTSD, or want to excel as an athlete or top executive, recent breakthroughs in molecular biology have granted us the means not just to repair but to enhance our physical and mental capacities.

As the visionary director of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research, Dr. Shai Efrati has harnessed these cutting-edge insights to develop a rigorously researched protocol called enhanced medicine.

Enhanced medicine answers the fundamental question “What is my biological potential?” with a groundbreaking approach that has yielded remarkable results, including:

  1. Empowering high-performing executives and elite athletes to attain their peak physical and mental states
  2. Successfully reversing the anticipated age-related cognitive and functional decline
  3. Restoring movement, vision, and expression in stroke survivors
  4. Healing the brains of concussion patients, restoring their cognitive, mental, and physical performance
  5. Transforming the lives of fibromyalgia patients, alleviating symptoms and improving their quality of life
  6. Significantly reducing symptoms of PTSD in civilians and military veterans
  7. Enhancing key indicators of Long COVID, restoring cognitive, mental, and physical functions

Beyond Normal unveils a revolutionary perspective on the possibilities of modern medicine.

“This remarkable book explains for the first time new approaches fueling a dramatic renaissance of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in medical science that is occurring now. Through multiple studies and thousands of clinical successes, Dr. Efrati and his team are making important contributions to our twenty-first-century understanding of repairing brain injuries and elevating brain performance. I have witnessed many of their patients restored to a happier life from the ravages of severe neurological disease.”

—Joseph C. Maroon, MD, professor of neurological surgery and medical researcher in brain and spine injuries and inflammatory diseases associated with aging, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; author of Square One: A Simple Guide to a Balanced Life

Beyond Normal is a great addition to a new field of medicine that aims to transform medicine from reactive to proactive. True preventative medicine is an achievable goal that will revolutionize healthcare and increase the quality of life across the world. The approach outlined in this book, including its unique focus on hyperbaric oxygen therapy, is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of medicine.”

—Eric M. Verdin, MD, president and CEO, Buck Institute for Research on Aging

“Highly impressed by the quality of Shai Efrati’s research and very curious about his hyperbaric chamber treatment, I decided to try it myself. It made a huge difference in my energy levels, focus, and fitness. My management team had similar exciting results. This book is a great summary in simple language of the scientific research and why it works.”

—Avishai Abrahami, cofounder and CEO, Wix.com

“In Beyond Normal, Shai Efrati shares gripping accounts of the meticulous medical science that has driven his series of unlikely discoveries with hyperbaric oxygen therapy over the past nearly twenty years. Shai and his brilliant team have shown how the body's natural biochemistry can, through a molecular response known as the hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox, stimulate a surge of stem cells, mitochondria, and new blood flows that repair patients once severely weakened by stroke, concussion, fibromyalgia, PTSD, and Long Covid. Many of their stories are here. If you or anyone you know suffers from any of these diseases, this book will be a lifeline. Beyond Normal stands as a milestone, a turning point in the science and clinical medicine of healthy aging and brain research.”

—Nir Barzilai, MD, founding director, Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and author of Age Later: Health Span, Life Span, and the New Science of Longevity

“Even though Thomas Kuhn’s Structures of Scientific Revolutions suggests paradigm shifts (whether Copernican, Newtonian, chemical, or Einsteinian, to name a few) don’t occur very often, Beyond Normal certainly appears to be one in neuroscience. In fact, calling Shai Efrati’s book and what it represents a game-changer in neuroscience is a huge understatement. The scientific evidence presented here and the proof that hyperbaric oxygen therapy transforms lives and enhances performance is indisputable. It clearly represents a tipping point that takes neuroplasticity to a whole new level and gives everyone hope!”

—William J. Carl, PhD, international lecturer on the brain at medical schools and medical conferences, former president of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, and author of espionage thriller Assassin’s Manuscript

Dr. Shai Efrati

Medical Pioneer and Director of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research

Shai Efrati, MD, is a renowned physician specializing in internal medicine, nephrology, and hyperbaric medicine. As the director of the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine & Research and the head of the nephrology unit at Shamir Medical Center, he leads the world’s largest hyperbaric medicine center, which treats more than 350 patients each day.

Globally recognized for his expertise, he is also the author or co-author of more than 170 scientific publications and a sought-after speaker at international medical conferences. His pioneering research in neuroplasticity harnesses novel hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) protocols to promote brain and tissue repair, enhance cognitive function, and improve physical performance across all age groups.

Dr. Efrati earned his medical degree from Ben Gurion University in 2000, completed his residency at the Shamir Center, serves as a professor at Tel-Aviv University’s medical school, and actively trains physicians and medical professionals from several countries in hyperbaric and enhanced medicine. He is also the co-founder and chairman of the medical advisory board of Aviv Scientific. He lives in Israel.
