Episode notes
Hydration Is Intracellular
- Hydration is about intracellular water, not just water in your body.
- Clear urine doesn't equal hydration; it means water hasn't reached your cells.
Aging and Hydration
- Aging is linked to losing the ability to get water inside cells.
- Intracellular water is crucial for removing toxins and slowing aging.
Universal Dehydration
- Everyone is dehydrated, according to phase angle measurements in Dr. Bush's clinic.
- A low phase angle (around 4.5) is linked to cancer, suggesting severe dehydration.
