Peptides, Fat Loss, and Healing Your Body with Lisa Levy

Most people chasing fat loss are solving the wrong problem.
In this episode, Dan Metcalfe chats with Lisa Levy who cuts through the noise on peptides, fat loss, and real healing. Lisa is producing results. That’s why her message matters. We simplify peptides: signaling molecules that mirror what your body already makes like keys that activate fat loss, recovery, and performance. 
The real shift? Body composition over scale weight. If you lose muscle, you slow your metabolism. Lisa breaks down metabolic dysfunction, glucose handling, and why building lean mass is non‑negotiable. She also addresses the confusion about FDA changes, sourcing, and safety so you can think clearly and act with intention.
Change how you approach fat loss and healing so you can show up at your highest level, consistently. Watch the full episode of Born SuperHuman: Peptides, Fat Loss, and Healing Your Body with Lisa Levy.

Heal Your Body With Quantum Frequency with David Wong

Your body gives out long before your mind has to. The question is whether your mind is trained to take over when it does.
In this episode, Dan Metcalfe sits with David Wong, founder of Qi Coil, who  breaks down how quantum frequency and magnetic fields influence your body at a cellular level. David shares the science behind NASA studies on astronauts losing bone density in space to how restoring Earth’s natural frequency helped improve their health. 
You’ll learn David’s personal story going from years of chronic illness to full recovery by turning inward, leaning into meditation, and experimenting with frequency-based healing. What started as survival became a mission to help others restore energy, improve sleep, reduce stress, and perform at a higher level.

The Truth About Hydrogen Water: Science, Myths & What Actually Works

You're drinking water every day, but is it actually reaching your cells?
In this episode, Dan Metcalfe sits down with Mateo Johnson, founder of Axiom H2 and one of the leading voices in molecular hydrogen therapy, to unpack the real science behind hydrogen water and why most people are still dehydrated at a cellular level despite drinking water all day. 
With over a decade of hands-on research and a certification through the Molecular Hydrogen Institute, Mateo breaks down how hydrogen acts as an intelligent antioxidant, the critical difference between "dead water" and living water, and why the majority of hydrogen products on the market don't deliver therapeutic results.
 
We go deep into mitochondrial function, ATP production, the truth about alkaline water, and the "triple punch" protocol that Mateo says has never failed to produce results. We also cover fasting with hydrogen, the mechanic analogy that simplifies everything, and what to look for before you buy any hydrogen product.
Whether you're an athlete looking to optimize recovery, someone navigating a health challenge, or just serious about understanding what goes into your body, this episode lays the foundation.
Step into a new level of understanding. Tune in this episode of Born SuperHuman: The Truth About Hydrogen Water: Science, Myths & What Actually Works.
 
Key Takeaways
Not all water hydrates equally. Most tap and bottled water is considered "dead water" that passes through your system without reaching the cells. Molecular hydrogen enables true intracellular hydration because of its size as the smallest molecule in the universe.
Hydrogen acts as an intelligent antioxidant. Unlike other antioxidants that neutralize everything indiscriminately, molecular hydrogen selectively targets harmful reactive oxygen species while leaving beneficial signaling molecules intact. The top researchers in the world still don't fully understand how it acts so precisely.
Most hydrogen water products don't match the studies they cite. The minimum therapeutic dosage is 0.5 PPM per liter, but many products fall below that threshold or release harmful oxides like chlorine during the electrolysis process. Consumers should test pH, ORP, and H2 saturation levels at home.
High-alkaline hydrogen water can damage gut health. Drinking water above pH 8 on a regular basis disrupts stomach acid levels, which are meant to stay around 2.5 for proper digestion, enzyme production, and hormone function.
The "triple punch" protocol of tablets, hydrogen-rich water, and inhalation delivers hydrogen to every organ and system. Mateo says in a decade of data across thousands of clients, they have never seen this protocol not improve athletic performance or health outcomes.
Hydrogen supercharges fasting. On an empty stomach, hydrogen absorption is highest. Combined with the body's liberated energy during a fast, molecular hydrogen accelerates autophagy and regenerative effects at roughly half the normal rate.
Hydrogen works like a mechanic for the body. It comes in, tunes everything up at a cellular level, and leaves. Even after stopping, the body maintains a higher baseline for months depending on lifestyle habits, with residual gene expression effects lasting up to 14 days.
Your health is your responsibility. No one is coming to save it. Mateo credits his entire transformation to the moment he stopped making excuses and took full ownership of his education, decisions, and outcomes.
 
About Mateo Johnson
Mateo Johnson is the founder of Axiom H2, a molecular hydrogen therapy company built on safety, science, and transparency. Certified through the Molecular Hydrogen Institute and trained as a holistic nutritionist with expertise in nanotechnology, quantum mechanics, and strength and conditioning, Mateo has spent over a decade studying molecular hydrogen for athletic performance and chronic illness support. After years of frustration with misleading products and poor customer service in the hydrogen industry, he built Axiom H2 from the ground up to deliver therapeutic-level results backed by rigorous testing and real human care.

The “No Options” Mindset: Turning Adversity Into Unstoppable Resilience

Some people survive adversity.Others are shaped by it.
At eight, Ty Gipson was diagnosed with severe Type 1 diabetes.By the age of thirty, his kidneys were failing.
He would endure three transplants, including a dual kidney-pancreas surgery with a 50% success rate. One patient before him didn’t survive.
He chose it anyway.
In this episode of the Born SuperHuman Podcast, Dan Metcalfe sits down with a man who refused to become a statistic — and built what he now calls the “No Options” mindset.
This episode isn’t about sympathy.It’s about strength under pressure.
You don’t control every diagnosis.But you control your response.
Tune in to the full episode today. Step up. Live SuperHuman.
Ty Gipson is a transplant survivor, speaker, entrepreneur, and the creator of the “No Options” Mindset — a practical philosophy forged through life-threatening adversity. Diagnosed with severe Type 1 diabetes at eight years old, Ty went on to endure three organ transplants, including a high-risk dual kidney-pancreas surgery that ultimately restored his life.
Rather than allowing hardship to define him, Ty distilled his journey into three powerful principles: Grow or Die, Hope or Despair, Humor or Drama. Today, he mentors individuals facing adversity, supports families navigating organ donation decisions, and teaches that resilience is not a personality trait — it is a choice. His message is clear: when quitting is no longer an option, growth becomes inevitable.
