144. What Makes Hydrogen Rich Water So S...

Gary Brecka
About this episode

Let’s dive into something I’m obsessed with...hydrogen water! Today, I’m unpacking how this tiny element can transform your health, starting with your microvasculature, the 70% of your circulatory system that’s not powered by your heart. These little capillaries, thinner than a hair, deliver oxygen to every cell. When they’re inflamed or constricted, pressure builds, and your energy tanks. Enter hydrogen water. Why should you care? Most folks don’t realize inflammation in these microvessels often from stuff like high homocysteine levels which messes with circulation. That’s where hydrogen water shines. It’s the lightest element out there, zipping through your body to fight inflammation and oxidative stress where other antioxidants can’t reach. My advice? Start simple, add hydrogen water to your routine. It’s cheap, safe, and hits inflammation hard. Check out hydrogenstudies.com for the raw data with over 135 studies back this up. Ready to feel sharper, stronger, and younger?
