Why I Changed My Mind About Hydrogen Water (with Tyler LeBaron)
How can a molecule as simple as hydrogen influence everything from Parkinson’s to metabolic syndrome?
Initially, I was sceptical, until I saw the data from over 3,000 publications and 200+ human studies. 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.
Dr. Paul Saladino received his medical degree from the University of Arizona Medical School. His use of "doctor" or "Dr." in relation to himself solely refers to that degree. Dr. Saladino is a licensed physician in California, but he no longer practices in any state and does not see patients so he can focus on educating people as a full time activity.

You should not make any change in your health regimen or diet before first consulting a physician and obtaining a medical exam, diagnosis, and recommendation. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
