Dr. Mark Sherwood, a naturopathic doctor at the forefront of molecular hydrogen science, discusses the power of hydrogen in counteracting free radical damage. He explains how hydrogen selectively targets free radicals and explores its unrealized potential for hyperbaric and transdermal applications. They also talk about Dr. Sherwood's background in law enforcement, the differences between chronological and biological aging, cutthroat marketing in the wellness industry, and the modern heroes of healthcare. This informative and lively chat is conducted while drinking hydrogen-infused water.

Quick takeaways

  • Hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, neutralizing the damaging hydroxyl radical and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
  • Hydrogen may have potential in hyperbaric chambers, with the therapeutic benefits of hydrogen gas coupled with a pressurized oxygen environment.

Hydrogen as a Selective Antioxidant

Hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, targeting the hydroxyl radical specifically and neutralizing it. This is important because the hydroxyl radical is a highly damaging free radical that can accelerate the aging process and cause cell damage. Unlike general antioxidants, hydrogen selectively dismantles the hydroxyl radical, leaving other beneficial free radicals untouched. This selectivity allows hydrogen to effectively mitigate oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body.
