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 longevity, mitochondrial repair, cellular resilience, or cutting-edge wellness tech, this episode will expand your thinking about what hydrogen can do for human health.
