Dr. Benjamin Alter ND Joins The Oxygen Ambassadors Network to Champion Healthier Indoor Air
Colorado-based naturopathic doctor and father of two joins a growing global movement dedicated to transforming ordinary walls and ceilings into functional surfaces that support healthier indoor environments.
TORONTO, CANADA — Creative Oxygen Labs is delighted to welcome Dr. Benjamin Alter, ND, a Colorado-based naturopathic doctor, to the Oxygen Ambassadors Network (OAN), a global initiative bringing together healthcare professionals, environmental advocates, and industry leaders committed to advancing healthier indoor living.
Dr. Alter’s participation reflects a shared belief that the air we breathe is fundamental to human health, wellness, and quality of life.
Oxygen’s innovative paint additive uses earth minerals, including zinc oxide and silver-based technology, to introduce functional properties into ordinary painted surfaces. Designed to be added directly to conventional paint before application, Oxygen helps transform walls and ceilings into active surfaces engineered to reduce microbial contamination, mold and certain environmental pollutants.
Addressing Colorado’s Invisible Indoor Health Hazards
In Colorado, where residents spend significant time indoors during colder months, indoor air quality deserves greater attention. Tightly sealed homes, offices, schools, and commercial buildings can trap pollutants, while moisture intrusion and inadequate ventilation can contribute to mold growth and other conditions associated with Sick Building Syndrome.
These invisible indoor environmental hazards can contribute to respiratory irritation, immune deficiency, headaches, fatigue, and difficulty in concentration.
Dr. Alter’s involvement will help raise awareness among Colorado residents about the importance of healthier indoor environments and practical ways to address indoor environmental exposures.
A Doctor’s Commitment to Education and Prevention
“The body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself. As a naturopathic doctor, my primary role is to identify and remove the obstacles that interfere with that capacity. Today, many of those obstacles are environmental exposures and psychological stress. Among the environmental factors, indoor air pollution ranks near the top. It is invisible and often odorless, yet chronic exposure to airborne pollutants can contribute to all sorts of health issues. I encourage naturopathic doctors and other clinicians to look beyond symptoms and assess the environmental exposures where patients live and work. As a father of two young children, I also see improving indoor air quality as a shared responsibility. Our health, and our children’s health, depend on it.”

More Than a Network. A Global Movement.

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Dr. Benjamin Alter to the Oxygen Ambassadors Network. We need more brave voices like his—healthcare professionals willing to challenge conventional thinking and champion prevention through healthier living environments. That is precisely why we created the Oxygen Ambassadors Network. Not as a club, but as a movement. A global movement of people who care enough to make a difference. Dr. Alter brings the conviction, knowledge, and commitment to help us take this mission into homes, schools, and buildings around the world.”
