371: Hydrogen Water Benefits: How H2 Water Boosts Gut Health and Energy

by Dr. Steven Gundry | Sep 30, 2025

Could this water—infused with the world’s smallest molecule—help your body ‘eat’ microplastics, improve digestion and support muscle recovery and energy?

In this episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast, I uncover how hydrogen water (H₂) may hold the key to reactivating one of your body’s most powerful natural defense systems — something most of us have unknowingly lost.

I’ll also clear up the confusion between hydrogen water and alkaline water, revealing why only one truly deserves a place in your glass.

And beyond that, you’ll hear the surprising truth about lemon water, juice, and even filtered water — and why some of these so-called “healthy” choices may actually do more harm than good.

Join me to discover what’s really worth sipping… and what’s better left skipped.
