Hikari OS – A brief introduction

After years of competing in extreme sports like freestyle rollerblading and surfing, we began to feel the need to go beyond physical training—shifting our focus toward mental and energetic awareness.

Over the past two years, we explored disciplines like meditation, conscious access, family constellations, and behavioral psychology. Through this journey, we experienced a heightened level of mind-body awareness that helped us break through boundaries we once thought impossible.

This led us to create Hikari OS—a community space dedicated to sharing holistic therapies, innovative technologies, and forward-thinking research. Our mission is to support inner human evolution and connect medical professionals, wellness experts, and high-performance sports centers to share their latest findings on the relationship between technology and human health. At the same time, we want to educate both individuals and professionals alike.

Sydney, March 2025 – Mito Core Studio

As we travel the world pursuing our passions and dreams, we’re also investing time in meeting innovators in the field of human potential.

Recently, we visited Mito Core, a new health studio that opened just a few months ago, where we had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Christabelle Yeoh, who generously shared her vision with us.

Interview with Dr. Christabelle

Q: Dr. Christabelle, could you tell us a bit more about Mito Core and why you started this project?

Dr. Christabelle:

I’ve been a doctor for 25 years and I’ve been in Natural Medicine, Integrated Medicine, Nutritional Medicine, and Environmental Medicine—dedicating my career to understanding all the reasons why people get chronic diseases in the first place.

We started this health space because we saw the limitations of the conventional medical system—especially when it comes to treating chronic diseases. The reality is, we need more efficient tools and methodologies. While standard care teaches us about lifestyle and diet, it often doesn’t go far enough. People with complex conditions—like inflammatory or neurological disorders—frequently don’t get the results they need, even with both traditional and naturopathic treatments.

I've been a doctor for 25 years, focusing on Natural, Integrative, Nutritional, and Environmental Medicine. Over time, it’s become harder to get people healthy. The roots of many chronic illnesses are now layered in toxicity—plastics, antibiotics, pesticides—and our cellular systems are overwhelmed.

At the center of this issue lies a fading force: energy. More specifically, mitochondrial energy.

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, producing ATP—the energy currency for all cellular functions. If the mitochondria aren’t producing enough energy, cells can’t heal, regenerate, or perform basic functions.

We’ve built our work at Mito around restoring and enhancing mitochondrial function. Whether someone is dealing with cancer, long COVID, fatigue, or autoimmunity, our focus is on giving energy back to the cells.

Q: So the core of your work here revolves around mitochondria?

Exactly. Supporting mitochondrial health is what differentiates our approach. Twenty years ago, patients improved dramatically just by eating well and resting. Today, that’s often not enough.

We now turn to biophysical therapies—especially those rooted in quantum principles. While “quantum” sounds abstract, much of it is already well-documented. For example, light therapy, magnetic fields, and energy frequencies can all be measured and studied.

We use technologies like photobiomodulation—red light, infrared, even full-spectrum therapies like blue, green, yellow, and UV light. Light is a measurable quantum principle. Same with magnetic fields—we use those, too, because they directly affect cellular health.

Q: Could you give us an example of how magnetic fields influence cellular health?

Sure! We use Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy, which has been around for decades—even NASA used it to help astronauts deal with the loss of magnetism in space.

PEMF simulates natural magnetic fields, which are essential for cellular function, especially in bone healing (stimulating osteoblasts) and tissue regeneration. It’s recognized in medical literature for treating things like osteoporosis and chronic ulcers. The magnetic fields increase cellular energy and healing capacity in low-blood-flow areas like joints and cartilage.

So, think of PEMF as grounding amplified—a way to reintroduce the Earth’s healing forces into the body.

Q: That’s fascinating. Can you share examples of how patients respond to these therapies?

Absolutely. We’ve treated many people with traumatic brain injuries—surfers, footballers, and more. These injuries often come with layers of complications like inflammation, poor hydration, or persistent infections. In such cases, healing becomes a challenge.

We use technologies like hyperbaric oxygen chambers, which aren’t new, but their applications beyond diving injuries aren’t widely known. Neurological conditions respond well to hyperbaric oxygen, and there’s growing evidence of its benefits in cancer recovery.

For instance, with cancer patients, our goal is to improve overall cellular health post-treatment. If cancer arises due to unhealthy cells, removing the tumor is only part of the equation—you also have to rebuild cellular strength to prevent recurrence.

We also see great results with chronic conditions like fatigue, migraines, eczema, and psoriasis. One machine we use is the Hocatt, which combines hyperthermia (heat), infrared light, ozone therapy, color therapy, and Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM)—all in one chamber. It’s particularly effective for skin conditions and systemic detox.

Q: What kind of results do you see?

With skin conditions, results can be quite rapid. For deeper issues like chronic fatigue, it’s more gradual—10 to 20 sessions often lead to noticeable increases in energy and vitality.

Q: We’ve also noticed a growing biohacking movement. Do you work with people who are already healthy but want to enhance performance?

Definitely. Biohacking is actually easier for us! Most of our work is complex cases, so optimizing someone already healthy is a fun shift.

We think in terms of passive (done to you) and active (you do it) therapies. For example, Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) is my personal favorite biohacking tool. It involves breathing low-oxygen air through a mask (around 10–12% oxygen vs. the usual 21%). The body adapts, becoming more efficient at oxygen utilization, which improves stamina, metabolism, and longevity.

When you're healthier, this kind of training gives you a huge performance edge. Think of it as training your mitochondria to work smarter—not harder.

Q: That’s powerful. Is this kind of technology available worldwide?

Not quite. In Australia, it's still limited. But in places like Germany and the U.S., biohacking and mitochondrial therapies are gaining traction—especially in elite sports communities. These tools are the gold standard for non-doping performance enhancement.

Mito Core utilizes twelve different technologies while collecting patients data for research purposes. One of the very few centers offering these types of therapies in Australia.
