Paul Saladino MD podcastAuthor: Paul Saladino, MD
Throughout my training and practice as a physician I have come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isnt helping people lead better lives. Now that Ive realized this, Ive become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. I hope youll join me on this journey.

263. Why I Changed My Mind About Hydrogen Water (with Tyler LeBaron)
Monday, 28 July, 2025
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.Timestamps:0:00 Hydrogen's effects on major diseases2:45 Six-month metabolic syndrome study results5:15 Hydrogen only targets toxic radicals6:08 Divine properties of hydrogen molecule10:12 Basic chemistry of oxidation and reduction15:30 Dangers of excessive antioxidants23:45 How hydrogen modulates antioxidant systems47:20 Hydrogen production in your gut56:30 Inhaled vs drinking hydrogen water61:15 Explosive dangers of hydrogen inhalation71:30 Therapeutic dosing for hydrogen water85:45 Debunking alkaline and structured water94:30 Tyler's elite athletic performance secretsDisclaimer:Dr. Paul Saladino received his medical degree from the University of Arizona Medical School.
