It’s people like Alex who are pushing and will continue to push the future of medicine and healthcare. Because of his curious and exploratory mind, Alex refused to accept his diagnosis as chronically sick and thought differently about possible solutions. Many years later, he is the foremost pioneer of the use and delivery of hydrogen to optimize human health, from catalyzing metabolic health to working synergistically to enhance already established treatments.

Alex Tarnava is a self-taught scientist, inventor, and author whose work sits at the intersection of biomedical innovation, sovereign health, and philosophical disruption. He is the inventor of the world’s only open-cup molecular hydrogen tablet—a patented delivery system that has become the most studied and widely adopted form of hydrogen therapy globally. The technology has been used in more than 21 published clinical trials and has helped catalyze a new wave of research into the therapeutic potential of molecular hydrogen.

Join us as we explore:

• How a mystery virus changed Alex’s life forever, sending him on a search for anything that would reverse the chronic inflammation ravaging his body - and he found hydrogen.
• How hydrogen water works biologically, how it creates cellular homeostasis and can even modulate hunger hormones.
• How much hydrogen do you need, the conditions its most effective for, the best ways to take it, how we produce it endogenously (and therefore how to produce more naturally) and why it is NOT an antioxidant.
• Why Alex needed to invent and develop his own delivery methods and machines to ensure safe and effective hydrogen delivery.
