Together, they unpack simple and science-backed strategies for tracking hydration using body weight, urine color, and sodium loss. They also break down the roles of electrolytes, carbohydrates, and sweat composition — especially in hot or high-stakes environments — and how to build a sustainable hydration routine that supports long-term performance. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a professional athlete, this episode offers actionable advice to help you stay sharp, strong, and well-fueled every day.
