Today we’d like to introduce you to Vontae Davis.
Vontae, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Throughout my entire NFL career, I was interested in alternative medicine and the benefits of oxygen. To assist in my recovery from the brutal effects of playing football, I used my hyperbaric oxygen chamber. The benefits of using a hyperbaric chamber to recover are widely known, and the biggest superstars in sports use them daily. Upon retirement, I wanted to dig into the medical benefits of using oxygen to treat illnesses even more. That is when I met with various doctors in the United States and Europe about the benefits of IV therapies, which include oxidative treatments. After hearing success stories from cancer patients, Lyme disease patients and those seeking anti-aging treatments, I wanted to bring these therapies to the South Florida area. I believe in the healing power of oxygen, and I want to spread this knowledge to South Florida residents.
Has it been a smooth road?
The first obstacle I faced was people not taking me seriously. There are not many athletes that want to get involved in the wellness field. When I tell people what I am doing, it is often confused with a fitness facility. When I met with doctors in the field, I was seen as an athlete. I did not let that stop me, and I started putting myself out there at conferences and networking at different events. It took a little persistence, but I have a great mentor now who runs an extremely successful wellness facility and he has helped me along my journey.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
When I retired, I knew that I wanted to help people. Success for me is adding value to other people’s lives while continuing to evolve individually. We all have a purpose that transcends individual fulfillment and extends to being a steward for the betterment of others, especially our neighbors.
