The Molecule That Rebuilds Your Mitochondria? What Hydrogen REALLY Does in the Body

About this episode

This episode explores the science and clinical potential of molecular hydrogen therapy with expert Mateo Johnson.

What if one of the most powerful tools for repair, resilience, and longevity isn’t a drug or a device—but the smallest molecule in the universe? In this episode of Metabolic Matters , Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Matt (Mateo) Johnson , founder of Axiom H2 , to explore the science and clinical potential of molecular hydrogen therapy . A former competitive athlete turned hydrogen specialist, Mateo has spent over a decade advancing medical-grade hydrogen technology, working with aerospace-level European R&D engineers to create some of the most precise, stable, and effective hydrogen delivery systems in the world. Together, they unpack the real science of hydrogen: • Why molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant • How its tiny size allows it to reach the mitochondria, brain, and DNA • The difference between hydrogen, hydrogen-rich water & Brown’s gas • What current research reveals about oxidative stress, inflammation & mitochondrial dysfunction • Why hydrogen may support cognition, recovery, metabolic health, and long-COVID symptoms • How athletes, aging adults & those with chronic illness are using it safely and effectively If you’re curious about…
