In this webinar, we sit down with Eric Gordon, MD, and Ben Tammetta to explore molecular hydrogen therapy, how it may affect mitochondrial function, inflammation, circulation, energy, and recovery, and where it may fit for people dealing with complex chronic illness. We also look at emerging research around ME/CFS, Long COVID, fibromyalgia, and mast cell activation, while emphasizing that hydrogen is a supportive therapy rather than a cure all.
