Water science pioneer Robert Slovak joins The Biomechanics Podcast for a deep dive into the real science of hydration, electrolytes, and mineral repletion - and why most athletes have been doing it wrong.

In this episode, Robert and Tito Ramirez explore:

• Why typical electrolyte powders only contain 4–7 minerals — and why the body actually needs all 78
• The role of extracellular fluid chemistry in cellular performance and recovery
• The difference between isotonic and hypertonic solutions and how athletes should use each one
• How modern hydration habits are failing athletes — and the history behind seawater-based mineral therapy used for over a century

Robert also shares insights on Quinton, molecular hydrogen, and the future of performance hydration, explaining how athletes, dancers, and high-performance professionals can dramatically improve output by restoring the body’s mineral environment.
