Alex Tarnava: Why We’re Being Sold a Bill of Goods About Hydrogen, Therapeutic Molecular Hydrogen Doses and the Importance of Following a Scientific Protocol when Biohacking

As a biohacker, I always love speaking to fellow biohackers who are equally, or even more invested than me in self optimization and self experimentation in order to better all over health. And as those of you have been following this podcast, no, I have been paying attention to the a miracle molecule molecular hydrogen for quite a while.

Molecular hydrogen is one of the most potent antioxidants in nature. And currently the scientific research around it, as well as the market for supplements is exploding. Molecular hydrogen can help to reduce the biggest factors, contributing to aging and has also been shown to improve issues associated with mitochondrial impairments, diabetes, metabolic issues, as well as reducing liver fat.

And in fact, it's becoming so popular and renown that professional athletes have begun to use it, to help their bodies respond better to exercise and recovery, and also to increase their performance and energy. And I am really excited to welcome Alex Tavana is my guest today. He is a bio-hacker and CEO of Green HRW a molecular hydrogen water tablets company.

He has also developed a clinical outreach program under his company and works with universities worldwide, researching how molecular hydrogen works as a therapeutic agent.

In this conversation, you'll hear...

-Alex's backstory and his love of hydrogen...02:05

• Alex became very ill at age 29 during the best physical shape of his life
• Was told he would have to quit exercise completely
• Learned about hydrogen therapy and bought a hydrogen water machine
• Tested hydrogen levels in hydrogen water machine (<0.3)
• Absolute minimal therapeutic hydrogen dose = 0.5 ppm
• Only about 4% of ingredient manufacturers that are required to get an NDI have got one

-How Alex began to heal...11:15

• Started importing products from different countries and testing out various products
• Got his water to 3 ppm hydrogen
• Immediately felt better but didn't want to support most of the companies he purchase from
• Many companies were buying their magnesium from firework suppliers
• Military grade magnesium to make hydrogen
• Partnered with Dr. Holland (name check) - refined formulas within a few weeks
• Spent over a year getting first product ready

-What hydrogen water actually does...18:30

• Delivery method to get hydrogen gas into your body
• Hydrogen water vs hydrogen inhalation
• Molecular hydrogen and various pharmaceuticals = 70-90% more effective for optimized health, especially heart health
• Public research vs private research
• Alex works with about 15 different research institutions around the world for the most legit research

-The importance of following a scientific protocol in biohacking...28:05

• Alex only participates in double blinded placebo studies and controlled studies
• Long studies
• High dose combination with BPC157 and TB500 = repaired Alex's rotator cuff
• 80% of people respond to hydrogen, 20% are super-responders
• Researches claim then researches more about why they make that claim
• Alex's Non profit: MyJourney.ScienceReliable data that's been proved from scientists

-Alex's best practices...36:00

• Cold therapy
• Intermittent fasting
• Hypnotherapy
• Walks through the forest for an hour 3-4 times per week
• Alex's blog on website is a great resource for more information
