Level 1 Certification

H2 Advisor

Learn about molecular hydrogen, science, chemistry, and more.

Science is a merciless purveyor of truth. It does not care what your feelings or cherished beliefs are. It is not swayed by the popularity of a concept or the influence of those who espouse a mistaken idea.

– Tyler W. LeBaron, MSc., PhD.
MHI Founder

science is the way to truth.

What is the Level 1 Certification?

The  HAdvisor certification is composed of 6 individual courses that vary in length and a final comprehensive exam. The total time to complete all 6 courses and the final exam is approximately 6 to 10 hours. 


What can I expect from these courses?

These courses are written in the simplest way possible to provide you with only the essential chemistry and biology knowledge that is needed to understand what molecular hydrogen is and is not. Typically, general chemistry and biology courses, although relatively simple, still contain many complex concepts and ideas that may have nothing to do with what you want to learn. There is no bridge that fills the gap between the required basic science we learn in elementary/high school and general chemistry and biology classes. These courses bridge that gap. 

Courses are offered through the following entities:

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Certification courses were made for everybody, regardless of a person’s background, even if you’ve forgotten what you learned in elementary school or if you are a medical professional with a scientific background. Many of our graduates range from hydrogen researchers, health practitioners, online coaches, stay-at-home parents, salespeople and other hydrogen enthusiasts. They are written in simple-to-understand language, but provide a helpful understanding of this subject.
  • These certifications indicate a person’s commitment to supporting the research of molecular hydrogen. It is a badge of honor and shows the character and integrity of a person’s desire to advance the research of molecular hydrogen. Earning this certification underscores a person’s desire to learn and share accurate information. They become part of the MHI community and as such, are part of the hydrogen movement. 
  • To be MHI certified means that you not only passed a test, but that you understand the material taught inside the courses. It is something that you can have on your resume or linkedin profile. Similar to if you had a certification in Microsoft, this doesn’t mean you now speak for Microsoft. It simply means you understand it. 
  • The MHI Certifications maintain the integrity of the industry.
  • Those who are certified learn material that clarifies confusing misinformation and common misconceptions.
  • When a person applies the concepts of the courses they are less likely to be tricked or scammed by inaccurate claims/products. They are also less likely to be inadvertently spreading misinformation to others. 
  • Consumers are more likely to purchase from those who are MHI-certified.
  • Read more here.
  • If you purchase the bundle, you will have 6 months to complete the courses.
  • If you purchase an individual course, you will have 3 months access to the course.
  • The certifications can be taken for university credit, To access courses for university credit, please email courses@molecularhydrogeninstitute.org. Otherwise, courses will be taken through MHI’s learning platform.
  • The certifications are well-known in the hydrogen therapy industry. Some companies selling hydrogen products require their sales agents to have this certification, or they may even receive more commission by being certified. Many consumers want to purchase products from people who are MHI-certified.
  • Certifications expire every 2 years to ensure that MHI-certified students are up to date on the latest information and as a way to ensure MHI can be self-sustaining in accomplishing its mission to advance the research, education, and awareness of hydrogen as a therapeutic medical gas.
  • Read about why MHI requires recertification here.
  • This is to be determined. It could be retaking the courses entirely, or it could be a test-only. However it is done, it is your responsibility to maintain your prized certification.
  • MHI certifications are well-known in the industry of hydrogen as a potential therapeutic medical gas.
  • If you need help, you can always email us at courses@molecularhydrogeninstitute.org.
  • Yes. MHI does not promote, endorse, or recommend specific products or brands, but we do encourage consumers to purchase from someone who is MHI certified as it increases the likelihood that the product/claims are in line with the evidence. This also encourages people to take our certifications, which is essential for MHI to operate.
