The Soul Surfer: Bethany Hamilton
As a world-champion surfer, mother of four, and longtime holistic wellness advocate, Bethany Hamilton knows what it means to move through uncertainty. Her life, both in and out of the water, has been shaped by resilience and a deep commitment to always showing up for what matters most: her family, health, and purpose.
A Life Lived With Intention.
At just 13 years old, Bethany survived a shark attack that took her left arm and nearly her life. What followed was not just physical recovery, but a deeper lesson in just how much consistency and mindset truly matter.
Just a month after the attack, she returned to the water and, within two years, won her first national title. By 17, she had achieved her dream of becoming a professional surfer—and she didn't stop there. She turned her story into "Soul Surfer," a best-selling book and Hollywood film, and in 2017, she was inducted into the Surfers' Hall of Fame.
Behind every one of these achievements is a foundation of discipline and routine. Bethany’s lifelong commitment to holistic wellness anchors her, woven into daily rhythms of mindfulness, intention, faith, and rituals that keep her grounded.
Creating Balance.
In her late teens and early twenties, Bethany pushed her athleticism to the limit, but now she prefers a more balanced approach. “I do my best to maintain my athleticism, balance mom-life, and professional life while pursuing my passion for surfing.” As a mother of four, her mental and physical fitness matter more than ever. Her days are full—early mornings, surf sessions, family travel, and everything in between. What hasn’t changed is her belief in supporting the body at its most fundamental level.
Keeping up with her children is only part of the job. Bethany also shares her wellness wisdom, guiding them to build a strong foundation for the future. “My goal is for them to develop healthy habits physically, mentally, and spiritually, and to equip them to problem solve so they can make wise decisions throughout their lives.”
Mind. Body. Spirit.
For Bethany, wellness is never one thing: “It’s not only eating well, but also having healthy relationships, getting sunshine in the morning and evening, and spending time with people who bring us joy. Prioritizing sleep, exercise, and finding a balance. Of course, this is all easier said than done! But we can start chipping away at our goals and continually aim for a better life.”
It makes sense, then, that her go-to supplement supports whole-body benefits. “Molecular hydrogen can optimize cellular health, which aids most health goals.* I’ve especially noticed improvements in my metabolism and energy, particularly on exhausting days.*”
For the past five years, molecular hydrogen water has been a cornerstone in Bethany’s home wellness routine. But with a family always on the move, she needed something portable, which led her to discover H2Tab. From the get-go, she noticed the higher potency at 12 ppm and individual packaging that prevents oxidation, which appealed to her for travel and events.
The Routine.
As with surfing and training, consistency is key. Regular use of molecular hydrogen is central to Bethany’s routine. “With consistent use, I’ve noticed quicker recovery, less soreness, and more energy.* I love keeping H2Tab in my kitchen and sharing it with my family.” She uses the Unflavored Drinking Tablets before or after surfing, around workouts, during flights, and on especially exhausting or sick days. For deeper muscle recovery and relaxation, she also frequently soaks using the Molecular Hydrogen Bath Tablets.
Standards Matter.
Bethany doesn’t recommend products lightly. “I have high standards for what I eat, put on my skin, and wear.” H2Tab aligns with her values through its clean formulation, simple use, effectiveness, and scientific backing.
What matters most to her is that H2Tab is accessible to everyone, not just elite athletes. “H2Tab is a powerful supplement I can truly recommend, and know it will have an impact on your life. You don’t have to be a high-performing athlete—they’re for everyone, wherever you are in your journey.”
