Good morning, everyone. Yeah, the recording is started. Okay. Welcome to BC 11-0 on the class on identity, identity in Christ. So, so far what we have covered, we have covered on first two chapters. The first chapter, we covered on the revelation of being in Christ. So, what did we cover under this? Knowing who am I in Christ as who I'm really are. We spoke about John 15 as we abide in Christ and Christ been abiding in us. And we also covered on the wine and the branches. Then we lived into the foundation of the world, Ephesians chapter 1. We saw the finished work of the cross and our identity in Jesus Christ. And we also saw, we have been blessed with every spiritual gifts in the heavenly realms. And we saw the mystery been revealed. That is, God's work through Jesus Christ. How God redeemed the whole world through the work that Jesus did on the cross. And this plan was at the beginning of the world itself, that you and I will be redeemed through Christ. And then we see how the growing knowledge of being in Christ is. So with that, we moved on to the second chapter where we covered on the new creation in Christ, where the old things have passed away and we have become new creation in Christ. And if anyone is in Christ is a new creation. And when we talk about new creation, we're talking about the new life, the born again life that we have in Christ. So we see the Holy Spirit when we are born again, we have been baptized by the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit starts in dwelling with us and we are the new creature. We are the new species or we have a new identity in Christ. Then we spoke about how the old nature, the old things of us, our behavior, our nature have been passed over. Okay. We have been made new creation. We have been born again. We have this new identity that we carry in Christ. And you know, the scripture that talks about that all things have passed away, behold, you have become new in Christ. And again, here we see the growing into the full measure of Christ. It is a process. It is a process. And with that, we will move on to the third chapter. The chapter talks about justification in Christ. You have been justified in Christ. Now, what does justification mean to you? Sorry, being made right. Anyone from the first year online class, you can post on the chat, justification mean being justified mean. What does it mean to you? Right. Cheers. Made perfect standing before God as if one has not sinned. Thank you, Nina. We also have a Nina in online. Okay. Okay. Okay. Justification meant justified means just as if you're not sinned. So when we are in Christ, we have been justified, justified as though we have not sinned. But what is happening in in general or in natural? What happens? Many believers, those who have accepted Jesus has a lot in savior, but haven't renewed their mind. They still struggle with a sense of unworthiness with a sense of shame. What happens? They have been carrying this hurt within them. What's happening? There's a saying you remember, hurting people hurt others. They try to go and hurt others. There may not be any reason, but just because they don't have this sense of being accepted, sense of unworthiness, sense of shame, the some kind of gap that they carry within themselves. So they have this condemnation or self denial. So they are not because they're not able to overcome what happens. It has been shown in a different way to the people around them. So what we need to do? We need to be justified. How to be justified? Bring it to God. Bring it to Jesus. There's one thing we need to realize is there's nothing hidden. We cannot hide anything from God. The only way that we can overcome this area is by bringing it to God and surrendering that area to him. Lord, I don't want to be the way that I am. I don't want to carry this condemnation. That is my past life. That is my older nature. And when we are born again, when we receive Jesus as a Lord and savior, we need to renew our mind, put on the new man. What is a new man? One who carries the fruit of the spirit. So what is the fruit of the spirit? Being loving, being kind, being gentle, being long suffering, being patient, being self control over our self. So these are the fruit of the spirit that one should see within themselves. So as we emphasize on that, we need to embrace our new identity in Christ. We need to check our self day in and day out. Are we reflecting Christ in our nature, in our character? Will Jesus do the way I do? Am I reflecting Christ's nature in my life? It can be in any area. So what happens? Efficiency chapter one verse four, just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. So who has chosen us? God has chosen us. Now, how? What is the expectation from us? God is a holy God and we are reflecting his image. So how we need to be? We need to be holy and we need to be blameless. So how do we show this holiness and blameless, blamelessness in our character? The nature that we live our life every day should be the nature of Christ being reflected in us. So how do we do it? There is a process. It is a process where we consciously make an effect to be more like Christ in us. We are not the old person. That old nature has passed away. We are a new being, new creation and Christ. So the word here holy or being without blame simply means faultless, being blameless, unblamable or without blemish without spot. Can I request you to turn to Colossians chapter one verse 20 to 22? On our notes, we are on page 31. Colossians chapter one verse 20 to 22. I'll read and by him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of his cross. And you once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now, yes, reconciled in the body of his flesh through death to present you holy and blameless and above reproach in his sight. So what does it say? Yeah, the scripture talks about we were once enemies, but now what's happened? We have been reconciled with God. How are we reconciled with God through Christ, through Christ, through Jesus, we're able to call above father. The relationship has been restored back. Now just imagine if you're carrying a old nature within us, hate, anger, enmity. If you're carrying this old nature, how can it how can we go in the presence of God and call God above father? We are not pleasing to God in any way. So we need to correct ourselves. We need to come to a place where we say, Lord, change me. Change me inside out that I may be a person of love, person who loves everyone the same way. Because Christ love is not partial. God's love is not partial. He loves everyone the same way. He calls everyone by name and he says, you've been wonderfully and fearfully made and I love you. And he also cried. The scripture says that you are the apple of my eyes. Each one, each one of you are very precious in his sight. And Jesus died for each one of us on the cross. Our sins have been forgiven. We have been justified in his in Christ. We have been justified. So God looks at each one of us through Christ. That's how we have been justified. So what happens? We need to embrace God to finish work of Christ and try to lead our life, which is holy, blameless in Christ Jesus. So that does not happen automatically. It is not an automated process. It is an effort that takes place within us. It's a decision that we make to lead a life pleasing to God. Am I pleasing God in my nature, in my words, in my actions, in my in my behavior? Am I pleasing God? Am I showing Christ reflection in me? We need to check ourselves. And how does God view at us? Let me turn to Ephesians chapter one verse six. Ephesians chapter one verse six to the praise of the glory of his grace by which he made us accepted in the beloved. Who is beloved? Yeah, Jesus is the beloved. So God has accepted us. God has accepted you and me in Christ. It literally means he made us accepted means a special honor. We have been highly favored and we have been covered by his grace. We have been covered by his grace. We have the favor of God upon us when we lead our life pleasing to God. When we carry the identity of Christ upon us. So class, can I request you all to just say this out loud? Just speak out, speak this over yourself saying, Father, I thank you that in Christ I have been granted special honor and I'm highly favored and I'm covered by his grace, surrounded with favor, honored with blessings, an object of your grace. Thank you, Jesus. In Jesus' name, amen. So this is what we need to claim over self every day. So when we are claiming no one can understand ourselves better than us, isn't it? So it's okay. Even when we have done things wrong, we have not worked or we have we are not our actions, our words may not be pleasing God. But again, as I said, it is a process. You need to bring yourself to the presence of God and say, Lord, these are the areas that I want to change. Bring it to God. One thing we need to remember is we cannot change ourself by our own. It is by the grace of God. So grace of God can work within us only when we acknowledge it. When bring ourself to God and say, God, these are the areas I'm struggling with. These are the areas I want to see myself change. I need your grace. I need your grace. I need your favor and claim it over yourself. Declare it over yourself every day saying that I am highly favored by God. I have the special honor granted by God himself over me and I'm covered by his grace. Wherever I go, I see God's grace around me. And as our God favors me, I favor people. As our God loves me, I love everyone around me. You know, there's a condition, right? Even in our father saying, God forgive me as I forgive others. If we don't forgive others, and how can we expect God to forgive? If we don't love others, how can we ask God to love us? So we need to be very careful. It is an effort that we put in. It is a decision that we make to lead our life in Christ's likeness. Saying, God, I love you. And because I love you, I love my neighbors. That's one of the command, right? Jesus said, love your neighbors as yourself. We need to be loving. Why? Because God is love and God is dwelling in us. We need to lead our life in the nature of God. So the beloved who's here is Jesus Christ is the son of his love. What do we read in John chapter three verse 16?  The very nature of God is love. The very nature. God is love. Whatever God does is out of his love. He loves you and me so much that he gave his only begotten son. Again, you see the nature of Jesus when he was as a human on earth. He was a man of love. He loved everyone. Matthew 14, 14 says, Jesus moved with compassion. What is compassion? What is compassion? Charisma to extend mercy and love towards others. God is love. Jesus, the scripture says, Jesus was moved with compassion. And whenever Jesus moved with compassion, you see him doing signs, wonders and miracles. So if we are identified in Christ, how is a person identified in Christ? By the very nature that a person carry. That's where the person says, hey, you are not somebody who used to be before. We may look the same, but what has changed within us? When you're born again, when you have received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. The nature, the behavior, our character is changed. Our action, our words, our deeds are changed. So who does it reflect? It reflect the Christ in us. The Holy Spirit who is in us will also lead us to Jesus, the very nature of Christ. That's why we call it the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace. Self-control, patience, long-suffering. These are the fruit of the Spirit. Bearing with each other. These are the fruit of the Spirit. So we need to have these nature added to our behavior, added to our nature. So what we were before? We were like, you know, we may be hated by others, but now the new identity that we have in Christ is that we have been loved by God. Maybe before we were accused, we were not accused. Maybe before we were accused, sorry. But now we have been accepted by God. Maybe before we were shaved. Now we have been honored in this new identity. We may have faced a lot of condemnation before, but right now we have been highly favored by God himself. So we are no more strangers, but we are the sonship we have in Christ Jesus. That we will move on to the next point which talks about, we have been washed, sanctified and justified. 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 9 to 11. 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 9 to 11. It says, do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?  And such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were washed, you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God. In the scripture we will see our old nature. It clearly says, these are the old nature and these old nature has no power over our new being. They do not have any power. Why? Because we have been born again. We have been identified in Christ. So they do not have any power over us. We need to believe that these are my old nature and they don't have any power over me. How do we believe it? We need to renew our mind. That's why Paul, time and again says we need to renew our mind. A renewed mind should believe in the new nature. That is a new nature that we have in Christ. This is the old nature. This nature has been washed, has been sanctified and we have been justified in Christ. So this nature of mine has no power over me and I need to renew myself, renew my mind. So how do you renew yourself? Each time when we give in to our old nature, we need to correct ourselves. How do we correct it? If you have hurt anyone, it is good for us to ask sorry with that person. You're making an effort. Asking sorry is not that you're putting yourself down or you does not become lower than the other person. But by asking sorry, you're showing the Christ lightness within you. By being loved, you're showing Christ lightness within you. The other person may not be right. You don't have to go and defend yourself or hurt that person to justify your right. No, it's okay. Let go. Why are you doing that? That's the Christ nature. That's okay. That person is going through a difficult time. I can talk to that person much later. The time when he or she can understand better. We don't, we were like, we're not anymore in that old nature. Like trying to fight our rights or trying to prove ourselves that we are right. We are being gentle. We are being loving. We are being kind. These are the new nature that we have in Christ. And we will allow this nature to grow and take root in us. Very important. As I said, it is not automatic. Doesn't happen automatically. But it is a process. It is a decision that we make. Why? Because we love Christ. Because we love Christ, we are going to show God's kind of nature in and through us. We need to know that we've been washed. We have been sanctified. What a sanctified means. Sorry. To be made pure. Anyone? Charis? Anyone from online also? The post. To be made holy. Consecrated. Boys? Very quiet in the class. What is sanctified means? We have Christ say pure. Sanctified means set apart. Set apart for God's use. You have been set apart. We have been set apart. We are different from others. We have been set apart. So we are sanctified for the use of God. We have been washed. Washed from the old self by the blood of Christ. The old nature has no power over us. We have been set apart. We have been sanctified for the work of God. And we have been made righteous. We have a right standing with God through Jesus Christ. With that, we will move on to the next. Being made righteous of God. As I said, is God righteous? He is holy. He is blameless. And he's righteous. So we have been made righteous in Christ Jesus. So what is in God? Has been come to us. There was an exchange on the cross. Jesus took away us in nature on him. And he gave his righteousness. He gave his holiness on us. So we have been made righteous in Christ Jesus. That when God looks at us, God sees that we have been made righteous. We have a right standing through Christ Jesus. So we see in Romans chapter 3 verse 22. Even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all who believe for there is no difference. So we have the righteousness of God. How? When we believe, when we have accepted Jesus as a Lord and Saviour. When we have this faith that because I have received Jesus as a Lord and Saviour, now I have whatever is in Christ has come to me. I have this inheritance of Christ in me. We also see in 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 30 it says But of him, you are in Christ Jesus who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. Christ is our wisdom from God who's become for us a righteousness, a sanctification and redemption. Christ, we have been redeemed through Christ. We have been sanctified. We have been set apart through Christ and we have been made righteous in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 21 talks about the exchange that happened on the cross where for he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him. So Christ who never sinned has taken our sin on the cross and he died on the cross and in turn he gave his righteousness for us so that we may become righteous. Our relationship with God will be restored. So this is what it says here. So the righteousness of God which is God's own righteousness has been imparted to all of us to all those who believe in Jesus Christ and have accepted him as a Lord and Saviour. So what we need to do we need to understand this truth. We need to embrace this truth for this truth to become live in us. Most of us struggle with our identity it's not because you're not a believer you are a believer. You do believe in Jesus as a Lord and Saviour with the work that he did on the cross. You believe you believe that you have been redeemed. You believe that the old nature have passed over. You are new in Christ. You carry this new nature. But what is not happening here is we're not embracing the truth over us. This can happen only when we renew our mind. Imagine for example, I know many of us are from different age group online and year as well on campus or students even on e-learning. Despite your age for example, if a person is 20 year old for last 20 years the person has lived his life in the identity of what the world has given him from his birth. From his birth he's come across hatred he's come across rejection and this has become the real fact in his mind and his heart because he has been hurt from birth, he's been rejected from his birth and he's seen a lot of failures and rejections in his life so as we said in the last class what's in the bottle is what when you shake and when you pour it out comes out right so what is within you hatred rejection failures no love yearning for the human kind of love every man, every human yearns for love if somebody is showing out hatred and is outside it is not because they are hurt, no there is a kind of love there is a kind of vacuum that they have which is not filled and because of that that person goes around yearning for that around people and when they don't get that what's in hatred comes out rejection comes out, failure comes out so the every reaction of a person is nothing but what they have gone through in their life so now how they can overcome all this is it possible yes it is possible through Christ through Christ it is possible that's what the scripture says you are more than an overcomer in Christ Jesus you have been loved no one in this world can love you as God can love you no one can fill that gap what God can do it for you it's only he so what we need to do we need to embrace this this truth it's not going to be easy but it's not difficult at the same time there is no man or no human on this earth have overcome their life just like that the minute they receive Jesus as the Lord and Saviour but they have gone through the process they have decided the older nature has no power over them they have embraced to this new nature they have made the choice to lead a life that is loving they have made a choice to get the fruit of the spirit to be the nature of their own they have embraced it and that's how you can overcome that's how you can lead a life that is pleasing God so the only way that we can lead a new life identified in Christ is by embracing the truth that the scripture says the enemy may bombard you with the lies of this world but then you go with what the word of God says you are loved you are an overcomer you can lead a new life your sins have been forgiven there is no more gap within you you have been loved by the most high God you don't have to search for that love through any man any human have been identified in Christ you have a new identity your identity is not on the position that you carry no it's in Christ what we have so when we have these things set right you see yourself flow in the nature of God in the fruit of the spirit so we have been justified been made righteous through faith sorry what happens when we lead our life that is pleasing God what happens we are exercising the faith that we have we are exercising the right that we have with God you know being loving is the birthright that we have the nature of God is a birthright because now you are the child of God so we need to behave as a child of God so we have this axis that is faith God kind of faith in us and we stand in the place of grace before God and we are full of joy because of God because of the work that Jesus did on the cross now we have a hope in our life which was not there before has become now into us because we have been justified been made righteous in Christ Jesus so in Romans chapter 5 verse 9 Romans verse 9 page 38 much more than then having now been justified by his blood we have been saved from wrath through him Colossians chapter 1 verse 20 and 21 and by him to reconcile all things himself by him whether things on earth or things in heaven having made peace through the blood of his cross and you once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works yet now he has reconciled despite our old nature we have been reconciled to God through the work that Jesus did on the cross Jesus died on the cross Jesus has paid a price his own blood he has paid a price to redeem you and me there is a cost involved to redeem us from that old nature we need to know that we need to understand we need to we need to understand that Jesus died on the cross he shed his complete blood on the cross to redeem you and me we have been redeemed we need to get this revelation that the work on the cross was done to redeem you and me he has redeemed us from the clutches of the enemy so when he has redeemed us from the enemy's hand our nature should not be reflecting any way of his kind our nature should reflect God because we have been redeemed we have been accepted by Christ and you know we have the Holy Spirit living in us we have God living in us so if God is living in us our nature should reflect the God kind of nature that is love the fruit of the Spirit in us so we have some of the practical implication of being justified and being made righteous here we have listed them out here that knowing and understanding these are the certain things that we should know and understand that there is no condemnation against us and so we live free from any sense of guilt, shame accusation or condemnation we are on page 38 so there is no more condemnation that we have because we are in Christ we have a boldness now we have a boldness to enter into God's presence how as a child of God we have a fellowship that we can have with God now a relationship has been restored back to God that which was not there before we reign in life and we have dominion over a life situation why because we have been brought out from the sickness from the sin from that old nature and we can confront Satan we confront Satan asking and master over him and his demons and that has no power over us because we have Christ in us who is much greater that is what the scripture says greater is he who is greater greater is he who is in us then the one who is in the world we have the greater God who is living in us so Satan has no power over us and we need to embrace that truth we should be more careful in the fellowship that we have with people be very careful because this will affect our mind and our heart so there is no condemnation in Christ Romans chapter 8 verse 1 says there is no more therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to flesh but according to the spirit so what a joy it is for us to know that there is no condemnation over us when we live a life in Christ we have been accepted we have this new life to freely embrace it we need to embrace this life in Christ and demonstrate that life in Christ in and through us over others how by not judging over others what does the scripture say do not judge for you will not be judged God is the only judge so allow the Lord to judge not ourselves and do not reject anyone God saying love your neighbour as your self so we have a new boldness that we can enter the presence of God because of Christ what we did on the cross so Hebrew 416 says let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need we have this new boldness where we can approach God through Christ Jesus 1 John chapter 3 verse 20 there on page 41 1 John chapter 3 verse 20 and 21 for it says for if our heart condemns us for if a heart condemns us God is greater than our heart and knows all things what does it say here God is greater than our heart and he knows all things he is all knowing omniscient 2nd verse 21 says if our heart does not condemn us we have confidence towards God that means we have allowed God to work in them through us and there is no more condemnation in our heart and we have this confidence so how we need to exercise that in us so this is what apostle John has been teaching us to live a life from self condemnation as well we should not condemn ourselves so we must maintain a heart that does not condemn us since what enables us to have confidence towards God walking in love walking in righteousness gives us the confidence before God so what is it we need to make an effort we need to make a decision to walk in love walk in the righteousness of God Hebrew chapter 10 verse 19 to 22 says therefore brethren having boldness to enter the holiest blood of Jesus by a new and living way which he concentrated for us through the veil that is his flesh and having a high priest over the house of God let us draw near with the pure heart true heart in full assurance of God having the heart sprinkled from all evil conscious and our bodies washed with pure water here it talks about the picture talks about the boldness that we can have to enter the holiest of holy that is through Jesus Christ through the blood of Jesus then we why because we have been washed we have been justified and we have been made right righteous in Christ Jesus so that we have this new assurance that we have in full faith we can walk in boldness and in confidence before God so what is it when we talk about boldness and confidence before God how we can walk in boldness and confidence before God if our way of life is not pleasing God how can we do that the scripture says one who walks in the fear of the Lord can walk in confidence if you fear God when you have this consciousness of God is watching over you God is watching over our very thought our words and our mind the word of God says no man looks at the outward appearance God looks at the heart God knows when we walk in this knowledge when we walk with the fear of God we will keep our self from hurting anyone we will keep our self from sin we will watch every step of our life and when we do that when we consciously walk our life with the fear of God and every step that we walk we walk pleasing to God you see there is a confidence that comes within us that we can come into the God with a pure heart and say Lord here I am here I am because God is the one who looks at the attitude he knows our thoughts he says I know every word even before it is formed on your tongue he knows it so there is nothing that we can hide or manipulate with God we cannot twist and turn our words with God isn't it no I never meant this way what I meant when it was actually like this no you cannot do it because God knows everything when we lead our life with the fear of God we have this confidence to walk in the presence of God with boldness of God saying God you are your daughter you are your son I have come into your presence except me as I am that we can reign in life because of the gift of righteousness that Jesus did on the cross so that we may not be offended but then lead our life that is pleasing to God and yes the armor of righteousness has been made available as we see in Ephesians 6 13 to 14 you see that the whole armor of God we have the access to the old armor of God that we can withstand the evil day or withstand the enemy the rails of the enemy and also in 2 Corinthians 6 7 we see by the word of truth by the power of God by the armor of righteousness on the right hand on the left so this is a spiritual armor that has been spoken here we have this armor of God available to us to withstand the denomic forces or the enemy's plan and when we have this armor of God we know that we have this right standing with God when we fellowship with God with righteousness we have our right we know that we are the child of God we have a birthright in God and with that we have been justified we have been made righteous so before we could end the session let's declare this over our cell let's believe the truth let's embrace this truth I have been justified with God I have a right standing with God and I need to embrace this truth to lead a life that is pleasing to God so with that let's declare it over our self God justified and made me righteous freely by His grace and because of Christ work on the cross this qualifies me to live a joyful life without any sense of condemnation where I can have a fellowship with God with freedom and intimate I can boldly ask of God and reign over my life matters and confront Satan and his authority over me and over my life in Jesus name Amen Amen is there anyone would like to add anything to today's session you would like to say anything okay with that we end the session thank you please go through all the scriptures claim it over yourself that which is applicable to you and embrace the truth of Christ in you thank you for joining in God bless thank you


Welcome to the Dr. Gundry podcast. There's one super antioxidant you're probably getting every day without even knowing it. In fact it's been shown to help fight inflammation, boost your energy, and protect the health of your brain. And study show can make a huge difference for the health of your entire body. I'm talking about hydrogen. Yeah the most abundant element in the universe. The same thing that's in the air you breathe and the water you drink. And there's a really easy way to supercharge this molecule to reduce inflammation, boost recovery, support a healthy heart, and improve the appearance of your skin. Well and my guest today is going to tell you all about it. He's Tyler W. LeBaron, the founder and executive director of the science-based non-profit Molecular Hydrogen Institute. And today he's going to explain the cutting-edge research on hydrogen and how it can help you feel healthier than you have in years. And actually I'm really excited about this episode. I had the pleasure of talking with Tyler a few months ago and stay tuned this is really good. So Tyler welcome to the Dr. Gundry podcast. My pleasure thank you. Great to have you here. Alright so very basic question to start with. What in the world is molecular hydrogen and what effect does it have on our bodies? Yeah most important question. Molecular hydrogen we are referring to hydrogen gas. So it's a molecule and often so you look at water. Water is a molecule and it has the oxygen and hydrogen. So it's like Mickey Mouse you know has the oxygen here and the two hydrogens and those hydrogens are attached to the oxygen. And so just as we can't you know drink water to get the oxygen that we need we also can't drink water to get that type of hydrogen. The hydrogen gas that we're talking about is a gas. It's the alternative energy source that everybody's after right because it's three times more energy energy gents than gasoline. So what happens is you have a hydrogen atom that has a proton electron and another hydrogen atom that has a proton electron and they marry each other. They combine together to form the H2 molecule. So this is a smallest molecule in the universe smaller than oxygen and that allows it to easily enter into our cells. So talking about cellular bioavailability for example. I mean obviously if you want to get the benefit of something it actually has to get inside of the cell right? Good point. Well hydrogen gas being so small can actually do that. So that's what we're talking about. Hydrogen gas. Molecular hydrogen or dihydrogen. Okay so you know you bring up a good point. So there's hydrogen in water so why not just drink water and then we'll get that hydrogen. It just won't come off. Exactly yeah it doesn't come off. It doesn't just come off like that. Water stays as the H2O molecule and we have to get that H2 gas. That's why water is not explosive but hydrogen gas is explosive. When you actually use water to put out a fire. And so all these you know the propulsion systems that are you know rocket fuel. Rocket fuel uses hydrogen. Yeah hydrogen oxygen they combust together to form water. And that's why even our hydrogen powered cars drip water out of the tailpipe right? Exactly yeah.  What effect is hydrogen the gas having at the cellular level? Get nerdy and teach us a little bit. Well you know it's it's we don't know all the exact mechanisms of how hydrogen gas is working at that molecular biological level. We first we can look at some of the observations. That's the first step in science is first demonstrate that a phenomenon is actually occurring. And so in the earliest research started in Asia for example you administer hydrogen gas whether it's dissolved in water or through inhalation. And you're seeing these D's effects such as prevention of the development of Parkinson's disease in an animal model. Or you look at markers of inflammation and you see clearly that hydrogen gas decreases inflammation or oxidative stress right? This is another huge one and I'm sure everyone's familiar like when you cut the apple in half and it turns brown or rust that's oxygen or oxidation and every single time that we breathe we're starting to slowly oxidize ourselves. And hydrogen also helps to decrease that excessive oxidation that's going on that leads to the aging in many diseases. So the mechanism by how that's happening it still remains a little bit elusive but what we do see for example the hydrogen gas in terms of like say the free radical and anti-oxidant aspect. Hydrogen gas is able to activate what's called the NRF2 keep one pathway. And you probably know that with like with what you've done before with the plants and everything it's a very important pathway. It's what is the transcription factor that when it activates the genes and the DNA it essentially it regulates over two or three hundred subtle protective proteins and enzymes that are involved in anti-oxidation detoxification. And so you have your proteins like glutathione people have heard before if it's peptide, superoxidus mutase, glutathione peroxidase, all of these that are our body's own or our endogenous antioxidant self-defense system. And taking hydrogen gas able to activate this pathway which in turn up regulates or increases our body's natural antioxidant self-defense system. And that's one of the ways the hydrogen gas is working to offer some of these benefits that we're seeing the preclinical and clinical studies. Okay now I know you've trained over in Asia to learn most of this and as we've talked before there's like over eleven hundred research papers primarily in Korean and Japan and even China written on the effect of molecular hydrogen. Yes? Yeah yeah there's probably about 1500 publications so far on the benefits of molecular hydrogen. Then probably around 80 clinical human clinical studies that have been conducted so far of course most of them most of the studies are in animals because that's how science progresses right? But when you consider that actually a good article takes between three to five years from conception to publication. I mean it's a lot of work to study to do an article and do aero of the research over and over I know right I mean it takes a long time so when you consider that 2007 started the whole area of hydrogen research if you will and now 12 years later there's around 1500 publications that's that's exciting actually I mean it's not a lot but the fact that it's that many in that short amount of time yeah it's it's growing exponentially. I got interested in this actually before I even met you reading a paper human clinical trial that molecular hydrogen water actually reduced oxidized LDL in human beings and actually quite dramatically and I went wow that's pretty cool and so what you're saying is the least what we think is happening is so this is activating the nerve pathway in RF2 and having us produce more of our own intrinsic antioxidants right and just as an aside there's another new paper that was presented at the American Art Association this past week that shows that LDL cholesterol has nothing to do with anything in terms of causing heart disease it's actually the small dense LDLs that get oxidized. Oxidized small dense LDLs. Exactly that are in fact the troublemaker and our whole shift of our research and our treatment should be to prevent oxidized LDL and so again I'm intrigued because wait a minute I I can drink a glass of water with hydrogen in it and lower my oxidized LDL. Yeah that's the idea I mean that there are several clinical studies that that demonstrate and some really powerful animal studies in fact one of them in a apo-e protein knockout mice so apo-e protein is very important to basically get rid of the bad cholesterol if you will and if you don't have that protein you can develop atherosclerosis very quickly for sure. Well in this animal study the drinking of hydrogen rich water totally prevented the development of atherosclerosis and so that probably you know it was then translated into humans that the paper you're talking about where they are drinking hydrogen water and yeah you know to see less oxidized LDL and also we see benefits like with the macrophages that's what happens when the LDL gets into the you know into the intima for example and then the macrophages come and they get oxidized and just this cascade and that and hydrogen gas like we talked about it's the smallest molecule in the universe so it has no problem getting in through the cell membranes to where it needs to go and now it can help to to mitigate that oxidation so that's one area but then there's inflammation because those macrophages they're sending out cytokines those are pro-inflammatory cytokines and that's going to all these other signalings and it's going to cause all this this problem well hydrogen gas is another area that it really helps to suppress or mitigate excessive inflammation it can for example when TNF alpha it's a cytokine activates NFKB well yeah so when that gets high that's going to activate this transcription factor NFKB NFKB is going to just huge inflammatory marker well molecular hydrogen can down regulate NFKB or NFKB but but anyways when that's down regulated that you're going to have less inflammation and so we see both on the areas of anti-oxidation and the anti-inflammatory effects of hydrogen that's could help to account for some of these observed benefits. Now dumb question hydrogen has been around forever and we've been sending rockets literally forever literally forever that's right it was the number one yeah what prompted anybody to say gee we should look at hydrogen in this way yeah who had the crazy idea yeah well and and actually it's interesting because we you would think if hydrogen gas does have this amazing biological benefits that were starting to potentially discover we we should already know about that right but but there's a couple interesting things so first maybe maybe we did know about we just didn't pay attention so there was a paper it was a book that was written by an Italian medical doctor in 1798 I mean just a little bit after hydrogen was even named and discovered and it was this this inhalation of basically exotic gases and in this there's a small description that he talks about the inhalation of hydrogen gas has an anti-inflammatory effect that was that was so long ago and then fast forward in then in 1975 there was an article by Texas Texas A&M and Bailey University published in science I mean that you don't get a journal more prestigious true science right and and they found that hyperbaric hydrogen treatment was very effective with these melanoma skin tumors basically just totally regressed the growth of the tumor it was amazing probably though it's not really feasible to do hyperbaric hydrogen therapy for a human just because hydrogen gas is explosive it's going to be the Hindenburg all over exactly so I think what happened then is so in 2005 people you know they were looking okay we have the the hydrogen gas being produced by our intestinal bacteria right maybe this is going to be therapeutic so a lot of converging IEDs they got to this concept that maybe hydrogen does have biological effect so 2005 and I talked to Dr. Ota he's the one who publishes nature of medicine publication 2007 and and this is his story he thought it he heard about it he was a mitochondrial researcher and he's like okay well let's let's try it and so they did and 2005 they started and they found that actually yeah it did have these therapeutic effects so they did more studies and they published that paper in 2007 in nature medicine again a top publication but but the interesting thing though is in that publication he showed that at physiologically and clinically relevant concentration so below the fun billy level and and at levels that you could do in a clinic so it's not going to explode but it can still be therapeutic is still beneficial for you and that when that paper was published now that's what got the research to just kind of skyrocket so there's a lot of research after that so that's maybe my explanation is one that has been a lot of research has been done well not a lot but it has been suggested for a long time but no one's really paid attention to it and then two the research not really relevant at the time because people thought well yeah but you can't really it's not really clinically viable but now we're seeing actually it can be very clinically viable and to the point that we're at now so now wait a minute so most of the air we breathe is hydrogen hydrogen yes is in the air right but the percentage so air has about you know 80% 79% nitrogen 20 21% oxygen oxygen and then the hydrogen concentration is I see 0.00000055% so not much it's not enough to absorb any therapeutic effect right okay the constant this concentration in our cells is not going to be high enough right so what you're saying is if I could make have bacteria fart hydrogen then that's one of the theories on why having fermenting bacteria producing this stuff might be good yeah actually that was I said it like in one of the earlier publications I think in the 80s it was suggested hey hydrogen gas has a very very low reductive potential even lower than glutathione maybe it has a biological effect we should check this out then in the see the foresight Institute there in Boston, Massachusetts they did a study with lactulose so lactulose is a non-digestible carbohydrate yeah right but it's also basically medicine and what but when it's metabolized by the intestinal bacteria it produces lots of hydrogen gas correct so what they did in the study is they took E. coli and did a genetic knockout on the hydrogenase enzyme so the the bacteria could metabolize the E. coli but upon metabolism it would not produce hydrogen gas so when they administered lactulose the hepatol or liver protective effects of lactulose totally gone interesting but when they gave the hydrogenase positive E. coli back in so now the E. coli could metabolize the lactulose but this time produced hydrogen gas some very significant hepatol protective effects so suggesting like you like you said that maybe a lot of the fibers that we are eating those benefits are mediated by the endogenous production of hydrogen gas now there's these large clinical reviews from you know huge journals huge populations looking at taking different carbohydrates of different medications and actually measuring the production of hydrogen gas and showing that yeah there's appears to be a correlation that those who are taking getting more hydrogen gas produced by the intestinal bacteria seem to thrive and survive and live longer and live better. Okay so I'm pretty convinced and that's why you're here that molecular hydrogen is the real deal so how how in the world you get the full range of benefits of molecular hydrogen? Yeah it's a great question of course still earlier on part of and part of the research again the preliminary studies and preclinical and clinical studies are very promising but but the fact is and we still don't really know you know how effective is hydrogen gas really like in a clinical sense in this specific disease you know there's no 10-year study you know really demonstrating beyond shadow of a doubt if you will that that hydrogen gas has a therapeutic effect. It has a high safety profile so people want to try it I feel like that's that's great you know and the research is very promising but but there's different ways to get the hydrogen gas right one of them so how do we do it yeah one of them is of course inhalation of hydrogen gas and that's actually that the Japanese government a couple years ago approved inhalation of hydrogen gas as an advanced medicine for the treatment of post-cardiac arrest syndrome and and this is just as a side tadnick because it's a pretty powerful that the reason why is because typically when you when you start the heart for a surgery or something you do a therapeutic hypothermia because if you don't this as an animal study looked at this then let's say there's only 43% survival that is what what this one study was showing 43% survival if you don't do the therapeutic hypothermia by doing a therapeutic hypothermia it increased to say 77% survival so it's a big deal that that's why it's the standard protocol right so in the same study they they use hydrogen gas instead of therapeutic hypothermia and with this group and the in survival increased to 92% with hydrogen gas better even better than therapy for hypothermia exactly and then when they combine the two hypothermia with hydrogen gas is a hundred percent survival which you can't actually beat 100% so preclinical studies and others as well as other now clinical studies are showing this is really good so the government in Japan approved this as a class to be medical device and now they're doing a very large study with 360 patients and maybe 20 different hospitals to see the true effects of the hydrogen gas in these clinical settings and in fact even here in the USA there's work towards getting FDA approval for an IND and investigate a new drug to study hydrogen gas for pretty much the same the same idea during extracorpial circulation for during a heart surgery actually you and I talked about that earlier when I was doing research with the heart transplant so we can talk about that later but anyway inhalation of hydrogen gas is one of the ways to get it and you can actually buy these machines they're expensive I actually have several patients who have purchased oh is that right these machines for home use but that's yeah you have to be cautious because again you don't know how much hydrogen gas are you really getting into the body for example because you know typically in the clinical research you know it's around 3% hydrogen gas but that's the total amount going to the body you have to look at the total production milliliters produced per minute and then compare that to your breathing rate and all this stuff but then you have to be cautious because it is explosive you know so that there's a lot of things this is a very new emerging industry so don't have a cigarette while you're you're inhaling yeah exactly yeah don't inhale that before okay so all right so that's not practical at least yes it's not I mean it there it it depends I mean you know tomato tomato you it can be done and people do do it but I'm just saying if you're gonna try that just be careful about it that's all don't don't just think oh it's no problem just you know just just do your research so inhalation is one way there's there's also intravenous hydrogen rich saline injection which is interesting and has some potential some great effects and and but a very practical and probably the easiest way and the most common way done in research is simply taking the gas and infusing or dissolving it into water and then drinking it because as far as I know everyone drinks water anyways so it's pretty pretty simple to incorporate into your life is just drink hydrogen rich water okay so wait a minute now we're gonna bubble the hydrogen into water and why won't that combine with the water to make more water excellent question so when you dissolve the gas into the water it it's just dissolves it into the water it doesn't react with the water to form like h3o or h4o or some novel structure again if you take hydrogen oxygen and put them together they actually don't ignite or explode unless you light a match unless you light a fire right that's so so that's why you can dissolve it into the water the problem with dissolving in the water is as soon as it's dissolved you do need to drink it quickly because it'll just go right back out and that's my point doesn't it does not attach to the water molecule or anything like that doesn't change the pH doesn't do anything like that so once it's dissolved in there and you make your hydrogen water you need to drink it so what I I can make some hydrogen water but if I for instance put it in my plastic water container what's gonna happen yeah if you can do that but again because hydrogen gas is the smallest molecule eventually it yeah it'll go right through those the plastic containers now there are some ready-to-drink products but they there's specifically done you know using aluminum type containers no cans or pouches but it has to be very cautious with all of that right so anyways that can be done but when terms of like plastic and things like that yeah it just goes right through okay so if I go on Amazon I can find lots of hydrogen water generators for home use most of them come from Korea or Japan yeah China or China yeah yeah what do you think how was the Latin word a caveat impeture right buyer beware right yeah some of those may may work in order to get you dissolved hydrogen but see for me I mean I'm really mostly focused on on the research of hydrogen and so I had to have some experience with someone look at some of these products and and the problem is a lot of companies that want to use the medical literature of hydrogen to sell their product which you know again scientifically I would say well how much research to really have or whatever but but even more importantly is is the product that they are selling does it actually provide the therapeutic doses or concentrations that we're using in research and often the cases no they're not so a lot of these products you're talking about they're they use electrolysis right and they have these electrodes on there and some of the problems there if they don't have the right membrane then maybe they're gonna get ozone produced chlorine produced during oxidation because chloride will be oxidized to chlorine gas you'd be drinking that maybe electrodes aren't fully clean or they're not fully inert with the platinum for example and so you get maybe on a electrode material heavy metals type in there and then even if all of that is no problem everything is working fine well then I just I've seen and heard there's problems often with consistency of how long the process actually lasting you first get it makes a good concentration although most of them only make like very low concentration like 0.2 to 1 milligram per liter or or PPM and what do we need yeah well what are the studies exactly right we don't actually know what we need okay but but we do know what what we have used in clinical studies to show therapeutic effect right so that's a good yeah so we want to exactly yes okay I'm gonna get back to that I just wanted to say about these those those units really quickly often there's lots of problems with their quality control even after a couple of weeks or months they might they may stop working start producing those therapeutic levels so you always have to constantly be testing and measuring the concentration there they can work fine but you just have to be very you know vigorous in terms of testing and making sure it's still working right to get that therapeutic level or dose and what is that dose and level again we don't we don't really know but what what are we using in the clinical studies showing the therapeutic effect and and that concentration is typically between well as low as 0.5 ppm or 0.5 milligrams per liter but is very rare and and some studies so there's no benefit there but most of them are around 1.6 milligrams per liter or 1.6 ppm and and some of them are as high as you know five or you know seven milligrams per liter you know or even higher than that and so it appears from some of the human research but a lot of the animal and cell culture studies that in some case not every case but at least in some cases or maybe in many cases there is a dose dependent effect so so the higher the dose of hydrogen the more likely or the higher the probability that it'll exert a biological effect and be beneficial at least there's never a time at least in the research that I've done or I've seen where a lower concentration is either less effective as a high concentration so basically a high dose of hydrogen is either as effective as or more effective than a low dose so so in research we typically want to just give high dose because it's very safe you doesn't there's no toxic build-up in your body you can't OD on hydrogen if you will and so getting a high dose of hydrogen it just ensures the probability that you're in the bell curve if you will that you're gonna get benefits if there are benefits to be had so I can't possibly explode by drinking hydrogen right yeah you would get hyponatrymia from drinking water okay yeah yeah so let's talk about I know a lot of people say well I drink alkaline water oh yeah and that's the same as hydrogen water yeah take it oh yeah that's a common misconception the conflation of the concept of alkaline water with hydrogen water and possibly because we think of alkaline water we think of high pH and pH potential hydrogen hey we're talking about hydrogen the more hydrogen the more alkaline right but it's actually almost the opposite and and very different pH was potential hydrogen of course the P is more of an exponent inverse exponent logarithmic function and the hydrogen they're talking about is not hydrogen gas molecular hydrogen but the hydrogen ion which has no electrons is just an H plus it's a proton right and so pH that H and pH has nothing to do with what we're talking about and we're talking about molecular hydrogen this hydrogen gas and when you take dissolve hydrogen gas into water it doesn't change the pH so there's there's there's no connection at all between the alkaline water aspect and the hydrogen water they're totally different now there is a correlation some of the early research which is a very interesting story because some some of the early research they found that this what's called alkaline ionized water actually had some therapeutic effects and it's like how how does this happen because an alkaline water alkaline pH is not going to benefit the human body correct I mean we you know yeah we are alkaline our bodies are alkaline but alcohol but water is not a buffer and to put it in perspective one teaspoon of baking soda it's a little teaspoon of baking soda which is actually you know sodium bicarbonate our body's natural buffering system a teaspoon of baking soda can utilize as much acid as 700 liters of alkaline water at it at a pH of 10 so you can't say that again because the most important part of this podcast may have just been set I want to say it again yeah so so one teaspoon of baking soda can utilize as much acid as 700 liters of alkaline water at a pH of 10 come on so that alkaline water thing that I'm buying at the store for $3 I'm better off having you know a pinch of baking or or just breathing a little bit more right because as you breathe that that's how we control our pH the best is by respiration so if you just excel out the CO2 yeah you would get you would increase your blood pH more that's what your goal was if you just excel more so so it doesn't work but but then that so that question then was well then why were these studies on alkaline ionized water what why were they showing this antioxidant effect anti-cancer effect anti-diabetic effect anti-inflammatory whatever these effects were like how do you explain this because it doesn't make sense that water could do this it would despite having alkaline pH so there were stuff put about like oh it's no micro clustering structuring enigmatic you know stuff but that none of that has is valid and and the evidence that people have apported I just just don't work but what it turns out is when you make this alkaline ionized water using electrolysis which by definition is the decomposition of water into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas during that electrolytic process this some of that hydrogen gas that's produced ends up getting dissolved in the water so when you drink alkaline ionized water fresh alkaline ionized water you may be not all the time because different machines and you know calcification stuff but you may be getting small amounts of dissolved hydrogen gas which are responsible for those therapeutic effects and in fact we did a study on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease we took rodents and we gave them alkaline ionized water okay the real story is it's really interesting but these researchers they took alkaline ionized water because they were like well this is really cool so they are there was figured out this is true like all the stuff they took alkaline ionized water and they compared to control water and they did the study and guess what no benefit nothing and they're like why is this not working and they're like it they were so sure that it would because they follow the protocol everything else did so they ended up talking to me we and we talked for quite a while and like okay let's do it again and I was like but what is the hydrogen concentration and they're like oh we don't know and so we measured the concentration of hydrogen it was quite low like 0.3 milligrams per liter 0.3 ppm and so okay let's do the exact same study but let's do also a low concentration around the 0.3 milligrams per liter and also a high concentration of hydrogen and high just means higher it was only like one ppm or something maybe lower than that we did the study and same thing the low concentration of alkaline ionized water so again high pH had this you know negative ORP that people talk about you know all this stuff had everything zero benefit but the but the higher concentration of hydrogen very significant obvious benefit and on non alcohol-thated liver disease in this animal study and then actually we later with another group we did a clinical trial on non alcohol-thated liver disease and very very very positive results wow so all right so we're not gonna breathe it are the machines maybe maybe not well how at home can we do it I mean are there tablets that'll do this yeah I mean there are in fact that study just mentioned that non alcohol-thated liver disease we actually use the tablets because we we're we wanted to see okay a higher dose of hydrogen how it's gonna work so we use actually do echo MRI technology to actually measure the liver the fat deposits in the liver and saw these benefits but in a study we actually use these hydrogen producing tablets and I say hydrogen producing because of course a tablet it's not it's not a hydrogen tablet right like a solid hydrogen or something but but the way the tablets work is that they contain a special form of reactive metallic magnesium that when you add to the water it reacts with water H2O and it kind of liberates that H2 right and so you produce the hydrogen gas and you can see all the bubbles coming off and if you want to get you can get a lighter and light it on fire you know it's that's kind of fun to do sometimes when you're born careful do not do this professional researcher on a closed course that's right but but yeah so those tablets are you know they they I find value in them for the research because we get a high dose of hydrogen I think I think also because of course we use the placebo tablet also they give us the same amount of magnesium but I think just for the general consumer I think it's also nice because most people are deficient magnesium anyways true and so they're able to get some magnesium that way so should you we talked off camera should you do this all day every day every time you drink water or put a tablet in or should you dose yourself once a day or break it up what's your thoughts yeah I don't know I mean first off we still thanks for being honest yeah yeah well and even more honestly I'm very excited about the hydrogen research don't don't get me wrong but my disclaimer still we we still don't really know I mean we like I said there's no ten-year long-term clinical trial three five million dollars you know unequivocally showing something like I'm excited about this because the prospects of it being therapeutic and beneficial that we see in cell culture tissues animals and humans are very promising there's a lot from many research in many groups and I'm just I'm just one mere small person you know in in the midst of academia doing doing some research I mean I'm not you know I have so many publications is a lot more out there and so I'm excited because it's very safe and has a great potential so with that being said what is the best way of dosing if you will in the hydrogen again I don't know on that aspect just because they don't have you know all this stuff but but we will say how do we do it in the clinical research and and what is based upon maybe some of the mechanisms of hydrogen gas maybe okay perfect how do we do it in clinical research yeah well the way so we just did a study that we're in metabolic syndrome actually using the tablets also because we wanted to try this high dose and see if it replicates some of the earlier studies that that you actually mentioned earlier and we used three tablets three times a day and the on the idea there was that way they would they would take the tablet they would put it in the water as soon as it would dissolve they would drink it immediately in basically in one goal so that you get as much hydrogen gas as possible and and that would get a high level of concentration in in their cells and they did that three times a day because I think you know when you look at on a cellular level you wanting the concentration of hydrogen gas has to reach a certain micro molar concentration a certain level in the cell in order to have a therapeutic effect so by getting a high dose of hydrogen just an intermittent high high level of exposure at once could be very important to get that high concentration and also because hydrogen is more of a gaseous signal modulator that's right yeah to get to get that effect so I like I like that idea in fact you'll find this interesting that earlier study I talked about with the APOE knockouts they originally were doing this with inhalation actually 24-hour exposure to hydrogen gas because you're like hey if hydrogen gas is this molecule then total exposure to it could be great so the French essentially in the beginning they they saw a beneficial effect and then it kind of plateaued and it kind of went away and but and what some of the research thinking is some of the methodology and things open up the open up the animal cage hydrogen gas would come out so it's almost an instrument have the exposure they switch it to hydrogen water and then the benefits could just continue to be there they didn't go away and a similar study was done with the in in Parkinson's disease where they exposed the rats 24-7 to hydrogen gas and then the other group drink hydrogen water the other group just had fiber lactulose actually and the other group gave were given intermittent exposure to hydrogen gas and if it was found that the continuous exposure of hydrogen gas had no benefit in in Parkinson's disease lactulose didn't really have any benefit either actually in this in this model other cases yeah they may and then the intermittent exposure actually was statistically beneficial so again we see it's important to have this intermittent exposure but none of those were as effective as simply drinking hydrogen rich water so Tyler is there anybody who really ought to do this or I mean is it good for everybody who should do this so first off because hydrogen gas is safe so people can use it you know children pregnant people and anybody can do it so I would say the people who want to take that risk if you will because it is safe but you know we don't like I said we don't know all the clinical effectiveness and everything try it a lot of people I have just reported back so many anecdotal testimonials granted who knows maybe it's all possible right but true but it's something that is safe and the preliminary preclinical clinical studies are very promising so you know those who are interested in your anti-aging and your health and your wellness or you know maybe if you're trying some sort of intervention it's just not working just just try it I mean just just give it a try and see if it helps you or not and if it doesn't okay if it does that's great but but I guess I would I would I just be cautious because again we don't know if it really works and to what extent and everything but if but for those who are open-minded and biohacking type area and then trying to find some a solution what we do have something that has some preliminary data so for some people when they first take the molecular hydrogen and again this could all be possible but these are just some things that I have frequent herd of people who are trying it sometimes they automatically feel like almost like a head rush of even mental clarity or just like wow they feel something some people who are often in pain they they'll be able to there's a pain just drastically decreases especially like at night time people have like aches and pains and they can't really get a good night sleep they report that they're able to sleep through the night with all the aches and pains and then just having more energy we did publish several articles actually on exercise performance for both in the elderly as well as in younger people that hydrogen may increase a decreased rate of preserved exertion decrease lactate or lactic acid people call you know muscle fatigue basically so and then there's also with a publication and healthy individuals that just decreased the basically it's called this the sympathetic nerve activation so makes you more parasympathetic so some people when they take hydrogen they fill not only a sense of mental clarity but almost more more calm or kind of relaxed and it has an anti-anxiety and antidepressant and there's some animal studies in fact we actually do the study too in helping with the increase in resilience to acute and chronic stress and so people just kind of noticed able to handle stress better and be more parasympathetic and just have more energy and cognitive clarity. Can I put it in my coffee? Yeah I mean as you could I guess one of the concerns would be because hydrogen gas is the solubility is based upon temperature so it would probably evaporate very quickly. How about a smoothie? Probably the same thing because you're probably it probably it depends on your method of dissolving the hydrogen gas into the smoothie but again you don't probably don't take the smoothie in a few minutes it probably takes the whole while so particularly if you've made hydrogen water and then made your smoothie yeah that's great information all right what do you detract what do you say to your detractors that oh come on now hydrogen water really yeah are you just the next alkaline water? Well it's funny because I felt myself sometimes on their same side of like yeah is this legitimate like it's it's crazy hydrogen gas is a neutral molecule and and so to for it to have a biological effect my background is biochemistry and and I'm just like this is so weird this is so strange so it wasn't how it's in Japan in 2013 they go to university and like doing some of the research and I've seen these effects and now of course I see I've seen it many times and I'm like something is going on here and so yeah to my responses you know look at like nitric oxide for example for back in the 70s it was proposed that this endothelial derived release releasing factor was a gas nitric oxide and people wanted to laugh that out like no gases can't do that especially you know something is particularly you laughing gas yeah right you know it just it didn't make it didn't make sense to them that nitric oxide would would do that but then of course it was later confirmed a decade later and then a decade after that they won't know when the Nobel Prize right for something that's crazy yeah exactly so who knows but it's it's very looking at the next Nobel Prize winner here no no maybe hydrogen gas will be subject to know I do it's possible but I'm just yeah all right Tyler's been great haven't you on where can people find you find out more about you sure yes so my website molecular hydrogen Institute comm again we're just tried to just provide some information some education so you can learn what is and what is not hydrogen I do post stuff I just on some of my social media you can follow me on Facebook and Instagram Tyler W. LeBaron is my IG is what you say right yeah Instagram handle anyway you're welcome to follow me and I post some of the stuff when I'm out of the country doing research and you know some of the new publications that we do yeah it's it's a fun journey so just join the hydrogen revolution all right very good all right thanks again for coming on my pleasure all right it's time for audience question a YouTube viewer ask our muscle building and longevity in verse related and if so what is a good middle ground that's actually a really good question and it comes up because we talk about mTOR and those of you who have read my books or listened to our podcast mTOR is actually very important in producing we can measure the effect of mTOR by insulin like growth factor IGF-1 and we know that IGF-1 when it's at high levels actually promotes muscle growth and that's why bodybuilders for instance who are trying to have huge muscles want large amounts of IGF-1 when we're young we produce large amounts of IGF-1 and that gradually decreases as we get older and in fact all of my super old individuals who are in their late 90s early 100s who are thriving actually have very low levels of insulin like growth factor IGF-1 and that appears to be one of the markers for successful aging okay so how do we balance the two there are very good studies that show the more muscle mass you carry into late life the better off you are in so many ways for one thing muscle is the consumer of sugars and proteins that you eat and the more avidly the muscle consumes sugar and protein the lower your insulin level is the lower your blood sugar is and the lower your hemoglobin a1c is all of which correlates with improved longevity recently spent a day with my friend Walter Longo's associate over in Lisbon and we are talking about this very effect they firmly believe that after the age of 65 you should increase your protein consumption because you don't absorb protein well after the age of 65 I actually disagree with them because my research shows that people don't absorb protein well after 65 because of damage to the intestinal wall and in my clinics we find that people who are very protein deficient as elderly individuals when we get lectins out of their diet and we restore their microbiome even though we're actually decreasing the amount of protein they eat their protein levels in their blood go up so don't be afraid of you know you I got to build muscle all the time but you don't absolutely need a lot of protein to build muscle so but it's a great question all right that's it for the Dr. Gundry podcast we will see you next week and please visit Tyler fascinating stuff that's all for now before you go I just wanted to remind you that you can find the show on iTunes Google Play Stitcher or wherever you get your podcast because I'm Dr. Gundry and I'm always looking out for you


Personal notice, danger's my stock and trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you got a job for me, George Valentine. Write full details. Standard Oil Company of California, on behalf of independent Chevron gas stations and standard stations throughout the West, invites you to let George do it. The Silent Waterfall, another adventure of George Valentine. Listen to this, George. Dear Mr. Valentine, my name is Dora Duncan. I need your help desperately. I don't know any men that I... Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, Brooksy. When did that let her come? Just now. Yeah, but the mailman was here an hour ago. Oh, well, she brought it herself, George. She's out there in the waiting room now. You know, the deep, dark problem type. Write some notes so she won't have to confide her secrets to the underlings. Well, didn't she explain your lofty status in this managerial? No, she's like a duchess imitating Greta Garbo, George, so I just opened her note instead. Okay, what else is there? Um, I don't know any men that I can trust. I don't know any man to turn to. Will you please, please come to my home this evening at 8 o'clock? I live in the country. Waterfall House on South River Road, signed Dora Duncan. Yeah, sounds anxious. Well... It sounds fishy. Come here, George. I left the other door open. There. You can see her through there. Oh. You mean you can't quite swallow that I don't know any man routine? Oh, well, she could use a little more makeup. Makeup but only getting away, Angel. George, she's not that good-looking. That mink coat she's wearing is real, so she must be wealthy. She has job person on underneath, Angel. Maybe she's only attractive to horses. Uh-oh, she's looking at me. Well, let's go. What's your step, pony boy? Uh, Miss Duncan, I'm George Valentine.    George. Do you understand me, Miss Duncan? She's nodding her head. Yeah, but she can't hear. She can't speak either. Oh, George, it never even occurred to me to... Anyway, she wants to write. Here's a pencil. Here. I could read them through the open door in the other office, too. Mr. Valentine, I wouldn't, for one instant, consider... Oh, now, wait a minute, Miss Duncan. George, stop her. Look, look here. I'm sorry. We didn't mean anything. Now, don't turn away. Watch me. Watch my lips. I said I'm sorry. Miss Duncan, you shouldn't be so touchy. Of course we'll be there tonight. I said we'll be there, eight o'clock. Do you understand me? Do you? And she'd been crying. Well, come in. Come on in before the house blows down. I'm her sister. I'm Cynthia. Here, I'll take your coat, Miss Brooks. Oh, thanks. Okay, there we go. Oh, boy, look at that fireplace. Well, help yourself. She'll be down, I guess. The maid says she's dressing tonight. That's because I have a suit on. What's that? Oh, she'll be down. That's her music, you hear. Drum. Play the stack of drum records on her phonograph all the time. Say she can feel the rhythm of it. Want a drink? Drum buoy, maybe. Drum buoy? No, no, thanks. Say this is quite a place, isn't it? I guess so. I will. Somebody's a hunter. All the trophies and the gun tangy, of course. My father. He's dead, though. She liked it, too. He used to take her riding, fishing with them all the time. Tell me, Cynthia, has your sister always been the way she is? No, Mr. Valentine. Dahl lost her hearing from an accident when she was 13 years old. Oh, but then her feet shouldn't have... Oh, that was part of it. She was in bed for more than a year. It was one of those mental things, too. The doctor said she was forgetting how. But she can hear and talk a little now if she wants to. I see. She used to have a beautiful voice, and now she can't trust what it sounds like. She can't hear it. She's proud. Catch on quick, don't you? What are you doing here tonight? Well, didn't Dahl inform you? I've only seen her for a few minutes since she got back. You mean back from town this afternoon? Back from India yesterday. You didn't know that? No. But what difference does it make? So she traveled? Yes, she traveled. And when she got back, she sent for me. She ordered me out here tonight, too. What is it you want to explain, Cynthia? Nothing. Why should I? This is her house. It's her money. Father left it all to her, and the court's upheld it. She's a poor, suffering little thing, Mr. Valentine, and you might as well... Oh, it's 8 o'clock, isn't it? Yes, but I think that's the deal. I know, but I've got to shut that door, those drums. Oh, it's you. Can I come in, Cynthia? Of course, Jake. Oh, thanks. Dora wanted me to...  Well, gosh, it sure is a cold night. It's almost as cold as l... Hey, is that him? What? Oh, no, that's not Everett. You needn't look so tough, darling. This is Jake Manning, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Valentine. Oh, well, hello. I'm sure pleased to meet you. Jake is the next door neighbor. Well, who's Everett, Cynthia? Everett? Everett Stone. The devil. Oh, great. That doesn't tell me anything. Oh, look, Cynthia, there's no need to... He's Mr. Manning's new competition, isn't he, Jake? No. No, he's not. Just some guy Dora met on the boat coming home, Mr. Valentine, or over there in India. I don't know. Cynthia doesn't know either. She's never met him. Oh, but Dora told you all about him, didn't she? Wasn't that what you were yelling at her for out there after supper? Out there in the dollhouse? So funny, Miss Brooks, the way people forget and raise their voices at a deaf person. Cynthia, I didn't see Dora in the dollhouse, and besides, I don't yell at people. Now, will you please stop all this? I'm sorry, Jake. I... I didn't really know what it was. I... I guess I'm awfully tired. Oh, sure, Cynthia. Gosh, you folks must think that we're all... What's the matter, Mr. Valentine? Where are you going? Oh, no place for you to hear. Just listening to the drums. You know, that's the same record was playing when we came in here. George. The phonograph up there is just turning them over and over. Her evening clothes are still laid out in the bed, George. Yeah. The maid says she hasn't seen her since lunch. The clothes and the records and everything were just notes. Dora gives all her orders by note. Uh-huh, lunch, huh? Well, around supper time, it was the dollhouse. Okay, let's take a look at that dollhouse. How about that? A perfect little dollhouse, right on the river by a waterfall. Oh, the fall is upstream a little ways. Oh, here, will you flip your flashlight over? That's a pretty fancy dollhouse. Her father built it for Dora. She likes the rhythm of the water, I guess. She always has. But George, she's not here either. That's Cynthia. Come on! No, this way, upstream. Yes, Dora! When we get back to the house... Yes, George. Dora was upstream in the dollhouse just below the waterfall. So it must have happened farther up someplace, and a body was washed over the fall and then against the bank there. But, Brooksy, I'm positive it happened at least an hour or two ago. Just like I'm positive it wasn't suicide. What's that, Mr. Valentine? Um, he was just saying... who else could have been around here a couple of hours ago, Cynthia? Well, anybody with all the woods here. What do you mean? I mean, there was nobody supposed to be here, except maybe that stone person. Uh-huh, him again. I don't really know, of course. Wait a minute, hold it. Listen. Hello there. Hello. Where is everybody? I say hello. Oh, Mr. Frail. Cynthia, there you are. What on earth is going on out here? Mr. Frail, something terrible. How do you do, Mr. Frail? My name's Valentine. What's that? Let's both say it together. Who are you? Well, any friend of Dora's is a friend of mine, young man. Cynthia, I'm so sorry I couldn't make it out any earlier, but the traffic... Oh, Valentine, huh? I thought perhaps you were this stone chap. I'm Dora's lawyer, you know. Business investments and those... I say, who's that coming now? That's Jake, isn't it? What on earth is he carrying in that blanket? He's carrying your client, Mr. Frail. Stick around. Maybe you can defend somebody for murder. I don't know why we're here. I tell you, I rather assumed it was to meet this new young man. Oh, sure. Stone, stone, stone. That's all I hear. But at least you can hear, Mr. Valentine. Life wasn't very easy for Dora, you know. Living in the silence, not knowing what people were saying. People trying to take advantage of her. That's not true, Mr. Frail. Now, see here, Jake... Nobody ever took advantage of her. Nobody ever tried to, not even for her money. She just thought they were. She wouldn't let herself be loved. She was so proud, so afraid of pity. Just because you weren't successful young man. He never let herself love anybody. I'm just trying to face it. I don't know who this guy's stone is, but I can't believe it. I'll tell you who he is, Mr. Valentine. A fortune hunter, that's all. A smooth talking fortune hunter. And some man was with her earlier this evening, you said. Cynthia heard a man's voice in the dollhouse, and if it wasn't Jake here, then... You talk too much yourself, Mr. Frail. No, no. I'll go answer that. Duncan's read, she didn't say anything. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I got a fair looking for it. Oh, wait a minute. Who is he? How should I know? Don't ask me. Never mind, never mind. I see now. Yeah, it's the people's choice. Who else? What's this? Here comes the guy who shouts at people, Mr. Frail. The smooth talking fortune hunter. Now, why didn't I guess? What do you mean? Oh, I should have figured the guy a girl like Dora might have fallen for. Hello, Mr. Everett Stone. Welcome to nothing. No point in talking to him, Mac. Yeah, I know, I know.  We'll return to tonight's adventure of George Valentine in just a moment. Now's the time of year when Chevron Supreme Gasoline lands a helping hand to your car in more ways than one. Take this business of cold starts, for example. It can be awfully exasperating bearing down the starter with no results. And that means an unnecessary drain on your car's battery too. Chevron Supreme, a premium quality gasoline, contains special blending agents that assure fast starts in the coldest weather. Not only that, it's climate tailored to meet the demands of each different altitude and temperature zone in the West. That's why wherever you drive, Chevron Supreme gives faster starts, smoother pickup and traffic, and ping-free power on hills. In fact, you can't buy a better gasoline for today's high compression engine. Try a tank full. You'll notice right away how much better your car responds. Ask for Chevron Supreme at standard stations and independent Chevron gas stations where they say and mean we take better care of your car. She was a strange, proud girl, oversensitive about the fact that she couldn't speak her here. She asked you and several others to keep an urgent evening appointment at her palatial home in the country, Waterfall House. Well, you kept the appointment, but she didn't because Dara Duncan was dead before any of you arrived. And now the last and strangest of the guests has arrived. The person no one knew and everyone seemed to suspect until they realized that Everett Stone, Dara's newest boyfriend, is a man who lives in the same half world of silence. I'm watching Mr. Stone. Right, some more. That's who I am, Miss Brooks. A bum, I guess. Until a friend brought her to me there in Calcutta. She was wonderful to me. Maybe because I was even worse off than she. It only happened to me a year ago, my being like this resulted in a shock. I guess I was pretty sour until I met her. She was even starting me, unlearning how to read lips. She was even... Oh, nuts. Go on, Mr. Stone, keep riding, won't you? Nothing. I know. But did she say anything to you about planning to meet a man out here around supper time at the dollhouse? Here. Meeting... man... out... here... the... doll... house. Where is Mr. Valentine? I haven't found the place it happened yet. It was out in the woods up the river. All right, all right, I'll be out there as fast as I can. We'll get some men to help after I get out there. The local doc says she was dead before her lungs filled, so it wasn't drowning. You understand me? Oh, Valentine, how you can always manage to get mixed up in? Now, look, I'll tell you what you do. Never mind, I know what to do. Find a guy who does exactly what you're doing. Huh? Yells at people, even if they can't hear. Feeling any better, Cynthia? Oh, I've just been crying. I can't help it. Why have you been crying, Cynthia? You didn't like her. She's dressing tonight. That's because I have a suit on. What? She's a poor, suffering little thing, Mr. Valentine. Stop it, stop it. Cynthia, you hated Dora. You made that clear. Mr. Valentine.  Dora's so beautiful. She's got all the money. She gets all the sympathy. No. She gets all the boys, isn't that it? It's about Jake. You'll love it. Lady, maybe I don't blame you for resenting your sister. You should. You should. She was handicapped. But she wasn't like most people when they're handicapped. She was a little hard to take, maybe. Oh, my trouble is I've always been normal. She didn't want Jake, but she wouldn't let you have him. Only out there in the dog house for some reason he got mad at her. It was Jake's force you heard, wasn't it? That was your first impression and that's who it was. No. No, no. I don't know who it was. Yeah. Yeah. Now you're again saying you heard it. Confused, aren't you? So either you're protecting the guy or... Or what? Or you're protecting yourself. Thanks for clearing up the motive, Cynthia. Yours, I mean. The question was nice and simple, Mr. Frail. Now, once again, how much money did Dora Duncan have? But really, with the current value of investment... How much? I should say eight or nine hundred thousand. Of course, one can't be sure. Why? Well, it's a start poser my friend Riley always asked. The minute he comes in the door, money, motive, motive, money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just an old cynic. Now, where's this guy Jake Manoring? I'm here, Lieutenant. I'm sure, please... Save it and listen. We ran a check with all the specialists in town and one of them clicked. Definite improvement after her trip, the doc says. Twenty-five percent hearing, he called. Okay, Riley, so Dora was getting well. And so she ordered a gathering of the clan out here tonight, my friend. Why? Did someone speak out of turn and get her upset? Huh? Think about it. Come on, Valentine, let's go. Hold it, Riley. Why? I want to go upstairs. Since you started this, let's wind it up. Huh? Oh, Brooksine. Yes, George. Has he finished yet? Just about. It took time to write all the questions. Here. Oh, good. Oh, excuse me. Everett, this is Lieutenant Riley. Lieutenant Riley. He knows, George. Oh, yeah. Well, how do you do, Everett? No, no, let's see. I had to remain in town to see about luggage and so on. Besides, I believe Dora wanted to surprise everyone with the news of our marriage. Wait a minute. What's that? You mean Everett here? Dora and I had been married by the captain of our ship just after we sailed from India. How about that, Riley? Now let's do some guessing about what else she was going to tell at eight o'clock. All right, all right. So you put a B in everybody's bonnet. Well, that's all you were doing, Lieutenant. But I didn't try to get a bullet put in somebody's bonnet. Yes, George, don't you see? If Dora was murdered before any of them knew that she was married...  Okay, okay. So, Everett here is in danger now. If this does have anything to do with Dora's money, then Everett stands just as much in the way of the killer as she did. You're up against a case with no real clues, Riley. You won't get anywhere unless you force someone's hand. Which what? Those boys I've got upstream haven't even found the place where she was killed yet. Besides, if there are any bullets aimed at the kid here, I'll get him first. What? Yeah, come on, Everett. Hey, Valentine! Wait, wait, wait a minute! You too, Bruxy. We got places to go. The Dahl House, George. Yeah, this thing won't make sense otherwise. Come on in. Here, Everett. Now look, the starting point's her character. Dora loved this place by the river. She liked the rhythm of the forms. Well, she was unhappy this afternoon, so where else do you think she'd come? But George, her body was upstream. George, what are you doing? Yeah, quite of a note, Angel.  There it is. See? George, it's going toward the waterfall. Huh? Floating in a circle. But it's moving upstream. It's an eddy. That's so off in the waterfall. You see? Now it's swinging toward the back of you. And a body would do that too, wouldn't it? There. It's right where we found her body. Huh? So she was killed here, wasn't she? She was killed and thrown off this balcony. Well, look at this porcine spot on the rock. Blood? And that mark on the railing out there. So there are clues. Maybe even fingerprints. The murderer was unable to get rid... Oh, he tried to clean up, all right, but he needed time. That back current out there gave it to him. Now Riley's man is still a mile away beating the brush. I can run over to the house. No, no, no. Now is the murderer's chance to come out here. And now that he's looking forever and anyway. What? There's nothing I guess. I wonder if the kid over there would be gay? Here, I read. Give me the pencil. Now... Hey, did you hear that? No. Well, now look, Porcine.  Oh, but George... Never mind anything, get going. Move upstream. Make lots of noise. You're supposed to be all of us. Understand? Come on, hurry. Okay, George. Take it easy, ever. It's all right. Oh, you're not. Yeah. All right, another one. We're the welcoming committee. I've spotted enough evidence in here to hang the murderer. He has to come back to destroy it. Just keep quiet and... What's the matter? What is it, Everett? You want the pencil? Welcome to nothing, Mr. Valentine. There are guns up in the house. Huh? What do you mean? Oh, yeah, you'll be armed, won't you? Well, hey, wait a minute. Dora kept her things down here. She liked to hunt, too, didn't she? Sure. Sure, come on. Help me find something. That's it. Well, there's nothing over here, but... Huh? Yeah. Yeah, rifle. Good. That'll do it. Thanks. Now, you stay down here, Everett, behind the door. That's it. That's good. I'll get back by the balcony. See better from there.  It's about over. Funny how it gets in your ears, the rhythm of the waterfall.  Hey, listen. No, no, that wasn't anything. She was a lonely girl, Dora. But she was proud, like the waterfall. Wouldn't let herself love anything until you came along. And you were worse off than she was. Wonder what it's like to hear nothing but water falling and drums pounding. I'm Valentine Valentine. What was that? No, I don't hear anything. Just the water. Wait a minute. What's that? It's air. Something outside, I guess. Cynthia heard something down here. It's summertime. A man's voice. It's the man who killed her sister. The door opened. I can't tell. The waterfall makes so much noise. Where is he? I can't hear him. Where is he? I guess she can stop standing in the doorway, Riley, and turn on the lights. Okay. Wait. Well, that waterfall does get in the guys' ears. Oh, no. It would have been hard for Cynthia to tell what man's voice she heard down here yelling at Dora. But Dora could hear a little herself, couldn't she? No wonder she was so upset when she came to my office. Wanted a man she could trust to be here tonight. Despite the fact she had a brand new husband. Yeah. That was going to be the eight o'clock announcement, I guess. She was going to say that she heard a voice. A voice that tonight yelled at her. The poor kid, Riley, was going to expose the biggest heel in the world. Let me out of here. Let me out of here. I'll let you get it. Easy. But that's better. That's it. The guy who couldn't hear or talk. How about this guy, Valentine? Fortune-hutting with a new angle. No voice. Cynthia, the only thing you should feel bad about is that he almost got away with it. Yeah. You know, Everett put in a lot of practice for that act. It was going to be worth eight or nine hundred thousand dollars, wasn't it? Getting a sympathy, being a husband? If I hadn't read that note, George wrote me the minute I got outside saying to get Lieutenant Riley. We might have got away with it. Well, I knew the only way to make Everett talk in front of anybody was to scare him into it. Feed him a lot of phony stuff about finding evidence. Like coffee stains on the rug. Coffee stains? Why, you said... Yeah, Everett actually thought of I'd shoot Jake or Mr. Frail, then there'd be a fall guy. And the evidence would just be a few notes and a post mortem. He'd be left clear. That's why it was so anxious to give me that rifle. How did you guess, Mr. Valentine? Welcome to nothing. That was a phrase of George's Everett seemed alike. Not much to go on, but... Well, he repeated it in two of his notes. And when I gave him that phrase, I spoke it. He was just getting out of a taxi. It was dark. And what really clinched it? Your sister had only begun to teach him how to read lips. I wonder if Dora really loved him. You mean, if she really loved Jake, don't you? Oh, no. I know that she didn't care for Jake, but... But has Jake got over caring for her? That's the question, huh? Well, why don't you answer the door and find out? But I...  Don't stand on ceremony. Yes. I see what you mean. George, you're... What you are in favor of love, aren't you? And, Angel, let's sort of put it this way. I think it's here to stay. If you're headed for the snow country or planning any jaunt next weekend, first stop at a standard station or at an independent chevron gas station and ask for a battery check. These friendly station men can give you this protective service in about the same time it takes you to buckle on your skis. They'll make sure the battery's charged, that its water level is right, its terminal posts and clamps clean, and they'll inspect those all-important battery cables for signs of corrosion. Remember, a battery in A1 condition helps your car start fast, keeps the lights bright, assures top performance from your car radio and heater. But you don't have to wait for a long trip before asking for this protective service for your own safety and comfort. Wouldn't it be wise to get a battery check tomorrow? Ask for this speedy service at an independent chevron gas station or at a standard station where they say, and mean, we take better care of your car.
