Hydration
Welcome back Highwater Trekkies! It is once again time for a brand spankin' new episode. Join our hosts as they take a deep dive into the topic of hydration, and how to utilize beverages to best serve us as we adventure on trail and beyond. Tune in as Katy gives us an education about our own bodies' biological mechanisms that play a role in hydration, and how osmoality runs the show. Sam gives us the scoop on which beverages and foods are the most hydrating, with some surprising results. Our hosts also discuss the individual variables that affect hydration needs, as well as learn about the unique experience of hydration for women. Join the conversation as we explore how to work with our own physiology to properly hydrate (and talk a whole bunch about sodium.)
Questions? Comments? Concerned if Sam has a pulse?
Write us! We would love to hear from you.
