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

by Dr. Steven Gundry | Sep 30, 2025 | 0 comments

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.
