| 0:06.2 | Today's guest is Alex Tanava of Drink H.R.W, which stands for hydrogen-rich water. |
| 0:16.6 | Now, Alex is the founder of Drink H.R.W. |
| 0:24.3 | And Alex has a passion for health and fitness and learning self-improvements. And after a lifetime of sports activity at such a young age as well, |
