Episode Sponsor: drinkHRW.com – I drink molecular hydrogen water every morning before anything else and have my clients do the same. Anecdotally we have seen improvements in blood sugar control, pain from arthritis and even cognitive function in a Parkinson's patient. The research on the many ways that molecular hydrogen can support human health continues to come in as evidence mounts on this important signaling molecule.
