The Ultimate Summer Hydration Guide
Jul 22, 2025
Hydration is more than drinking water.
It’s about how well your body absorbs and uses that water at a cellular level. Clean, mineral-rich, structured, with added H2 gas, supports energy, digestion, detoxification, genetic expression, and mental clarity.
In most health & wellness books we read these days, there is often only a single sentence or phrase dedicated to water. “Drink half your weight in ounces per day” or “drink your 8-10 glasses per day” or in the case below from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, drink "X" amount of water every day based on your weight in cups/liters. We are learning optimal hydration is personalized based on numerous factors, including weight, exercise, diet, and medication use. We believe drinking quality therapeutic water, which is void of contaminants, rich with naturally-occurring minerals and added H2 gas is not only hydrating but provides us with healthier cells! Healthier cells=healthier BODY!
Why Your Cells Need Better Water:
Drinking clean, structured, mineral, and hydrogen-rich water supports:
- Increased cellular energy and repair
- Improved digestion and nutrient absorption
- Enhanced mental clarity and nervous system balance
- Natural detoxification and immune system support
Did you know that losing only 1%-2% of your bodyweight in water significantly impairs both athletic and cognitive performance?
Read on to learn how to transform your water and functionally support your cells with better hydration.
Clean Up Your Water
Start with a clean foundation:
- Use a Whole-House Filter to remove contaminants from all faucets
- Replace 3-Stage Filters regularly, especially before your ionizer
- Consider a Reverse Osmosis (RO) or AquaTru system for filtering your water at home if you don’t have a water ionizer (yet;)
Add What You’re Missing
Enhance your water’s benefits by adding:
- Trace minerals such as fulvic and humic acid plus 72+ plant-based minerals
- Fresh fruit slices, lemon, or chia seeds to activate the water’s 4th phase (intracellular hydration)
Transform Your Hydration
Elevate your water with structure and energy:
- Use an Analemma wand to structure your water for better digestion and longevity
- Add molecular hydrogen (H2) via a water ionizer or hydrogen tablets for selective reactive oxygen species (ROS) antioxidant support.
My Travel Essentials
Stay hydrated on the go with:
- Brita water bottle with activated carbon filter
- Analemma wand for water structuring
- Trace mineral drops
- Hydrogen tablets for antioxidant benefits when away from your ionizer

Hydrogen-Rich Water (HRW) Benefits
1. Hydrogen acts as an antioxidant
Hydrogen gas acts as a powerful antioxidant and has been shown to protect cells from even the most cytotoxic reactive oxygen species.
2. Hydrogen supports your body’s antioxidant system.
H2 supports your body’s natural antioxidant system by signaling pathways associated with the prevention of disease.
3. Hydrogen is anti-inflammatory
4. Hydrogen may help reduce pain
5. Hydrogen protects your muscles
6. Hydrogen can speed up sport-related recovery
7. Hydrogen can help balance the pH of the blood
8. Hydrogen affects cell modulation
9. Hydrogen is neuroprotective
10. Hydrogen is protective against metabolic conditions
11. Hydrogen boosts your mitochondria
Clinical studies on hydrogen-rich water have found that it improves mitochondrial function.
12. Hydrogen protects against DNA damage
Hydrogen gas has been shown to protect DNA against radiation damage significantly. It does so by scavenging the formation of hydroxyl radicals.
13. Hydrogen can calm allergic reactions
14. Hydrogen is protective against cancer
15. Hydrogen protects organs
Hydrogen has been observed to be protective against damage to numerous organs, including the brain, pancreas, heart, liver, eyes, and lungs. This is believed to be due to hydrogen’s anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and oxidative stress-fighting effects.
