[00:03:09] Hydrogen Water: Hype vs. Potential Benefits Ed’s year‑long experiment with hydrogen water. How it may support mitochondria, inflammation, and aging—and why it can take ~6 months to notice changes. Options: generators vs. tablets.

Ed reviews her data and finds: She has excellent sleep scores (70s–80s). HRV ~60 at age 80 (better than Ed’s own HRV of ~20). Conclusion: She has installed a “software of anxiety” about sleep for decades Why objective sleep tracking can rewrite your health story.

Protocol (from the study he describes): Mix: About 20 g honey with 2.9 g instant coffee to form a paste. Use instant coffee, not brewed ground coffee. Dosing: About ½ tablespoon of the paste, 3 times per day. Outcomes: Honey‑coffee group: cough scores dropped from 2.9 to 0.2 (~93% reduction).

The body can excrete plastics: Plastics have been detected in urine and stool, showing innate detox capacity. Utzy’s philosophy: support existing detox pathways rather than “reinventing” them. Ed mentions: His own microplastic test showed lower levels than ~80% of tested people, but he still wants to address long‑term accumulation.
