What is hydrogen water and its potential health benefits?

Alex Tarnava 0:00
Our last universal common ancestor, the single cell organism that spawned all life on this planet, actually consumed hydrogen as its fuel source.
Gary Brecka 0:07
When I talk about hydrogen in the water, their reaction is, well, doesn't the gas just float to the top, go out into the atmosphere? How are you able to ingest the hydrogen gas and have it create its therapeutic effect in the body?
Alex Tarnava 0:18
Hydrogen water gets into the gut a lot better than inhalation. They elevate different tissues in different capacities. It's better for a lot of these metabolic conditions.
Gary Brecka 0:26
there is a significant improvement in mental alertness almost replaced caffeine with hydrogen i feel the difference you don't feel stimulated but you just feel more clean and clear and awake there are a lot of people that poo-poo the hydrogen tablets as a therapeutic measure for reducing inflammation hydrogen is in fact a weak antioxidant in vitro and it's only driving towards homeostasis and this is actually critically important because

Hey guys, welcome back to the Ultimate Human Podcast. I'm your host, human biologist, Gary Brekker, where we go down the road of everything anti-aging, biohacking, longevity, and everything in between. And as most of you guys know, I am way down the rabbit hole and a big, big proponent of hydrogen gas, hydrogen water, as a way to reduce inflammation, improve our circulation, as a way to actually just make this a part of our health and wellness journey. And I am so excited for today's guest because we are going to go deep down the rabbit hole of the science behind hydrogen gas and how this gas, this simple gas, can change the trajectory of your health journey. And I've been using hydrogen water for years now. I was a big proponent of using it for exercise, for improving performance. But now we have the scientifically proven

validated research to really support some of the claims. And we probably have the world's most renowned expert on the podcast today developed and patented the first clinically valid hydrogen tablet, which I use every day, H2 tabs. But I really want to go down the rabbit hole of the research into how can hydrogen gas be simply incorporated into your life and make a major improvement on your health journey. So welcome to the podcast, Alex Tarnova. Tarnava. Tarnava. You know, there's a common theme, and my viewers hear me talk about this all the time, that runs through most of my podcasts. And that is that I feel like the people that are the most passionate, the most purpose-driven, that are making the biggest change in the world are people that have solved the problem in their life. And you have a really interesting story about what led you to hyper focus on hydrogen gas and elemental magnesium. I wonder if you might share that story and then let's get into the science.
Gary Brecka 2:52
Yeah, absolutely.
Alex Tarnava 2:54
So I'll be as brief as possible so you can focus on the good stuff. But as we were talking about earlier, I mean, up until this event in my life, I would research learn about something for a few months and then get bored and move on. And so I was kind of a generalist. I had an encyclopedia of knowledge on a million different things, but wasn't really close to an expert on anything.
Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection) 3:15
Right.
Alex Tarnava 3:15
And, uh, Fast forward to when I was 29 and I was running a successful business in a completely different industry on an innovation I'd had there. But that business was giving me a lot of free time. I was on the road like a week out of the month. And when I was at home, I was working like an hour a day, two hours a day. So I was basically training as if I was a professional athlete, even though I wasn't. I was training four to six hours a day five days a week, six days a week, and having an active recovery day once or twice a week. And this was like Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu? Yeah, various martial arts, CrossFit. I did some CrossFit competitions at the time, too. And I was in by far the best shape of my life, right?
Alex Tarnava 4:02
And... All of a sudden I got really sick and they never were able to figure out what happened, but it's most probable I had some sort of virus that caused an autoimmune reaction. So basically overnight I developed sudden onset narcolepsy. You know, if I sit down and wasn't engaged for a minute or two, I'd fall asleep. I was sleeping like 16 hours a day. I had crushing fatigue.
