You know you should drink more water. But dehydration and electrolyte depletion are two different problems — and most outdoor women are only solving one of them. In this episode Dr. Liz Koch, DPT goes deeper than "drink more water" and explains exactly what's happening inside your muscles and your brain when electrolytes drop. The sodium-potassium pump that fires your muscles. The calcium that triggers every contraction. The magnesium that allows your muscles to release. The sodium that keeps your brain cells from swelling and your thoughts from going foggy. And why drinking plain water when you're depleted can actually make things worse. Plus a practical protocol for before, during, and after long summer days outside that will change how you feel on every adventure from here on out.
