263. Why I Changed My Mind About Hydrogen Water (with Tyler LeBaron)


Listen Later

Ever wondered why a molecule as simple as hydrogen could influence everything from Parkinson's to metabolic syndrome?

We explored how molecular hydrogen selectively targets only the most harmful free radicals while leaving beneficial ones alone, making it fundamentally different from every other antioxidant supplement gathering dust in your cabinet.

The six-month metabolic syndrome study particularly caught my attention: participants drinking hydrogen water saw improvements in glucose levels, HbA1c, inflammation markers, and even lost weight – with no diet changes or exercise requirements.

Tyler breaks down why those expensive alkaline water machines aren't doing what you think (spoiler: it's not about pH), why hydrogen inhalation requires serious safety considerations, and exactly how to dose hydrogen water for maximum benefit.

And on top of all this, we tackle why this primordial molecule – literally present since the beginning of the universe – seems almost designed to work with human biology, and why megadoses of vitamins C and E can actually harm exercise performance while hydrogen acts as a fine-tuning modulator.
