In this episode, Brad dives into a lively conversation sparked in his school community group about the many forms of hydration. From purified and distilled water to electrolyte, hydrogen, and structured water, the group explored it all.
The discussion was kicked off by the rising popularity of LMNT (Element) Hydration, a product promoting higher sodium intake—especially for athletes who sweat heavily. Brad breaks down the concerns and benefits around sodium and potassium balance, highlighting the common misconception that sodium is always harmful.
He compares LMNT to other electrolyte products like Athletes for Athletes, which uses pink Himalayan salt for added trace minerals, and Dr. Berg's Electrolyte Powder, which flips the script with higher potassium and low sodium. Brad cautions listeners about the potential dangers of mismanaging potassium intake, including the risk of cardiac issues, and emphasizes checking with a doctor before using such supplements.
His key takeaway: 💧 Hydration isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your ideal electrolyte balance depends on your activity level, sweat output, and overall diet. Always consult a healthcare provider before making big changes.
