I used to think electrolytes were only needed if you were doing a super hard workout, but since i’ve been supplementing with them, I’ve been feeling great.

Which has me wonder - do you need electrolytes or can you get rehydrated from water alone?

Because you can get hydration in a million different forms - gels, pre-mixed drinks, sparkling beverages, powders and more. And it’s totally overwhelming.

So today, we’re talking about all things electrolytes because dehydration is about more than just drinking water.

You’ll learn:

The function of electrolytes in the human body
Different types of electrolyte imbalance
And how to know if you need more electrolytes
