Deep dives

The Importance of Electrolytes for Fasting

Electrolytes play a crucial role in maintaining health, especially during fasting and ketogenic diets. When insulin levels drop during fasting, the kidneys excrete more sodium, which may lead to an imbalance in electrolytes and result in fatigue, brain fog, and muscle cramps. Staying properly hydrated and balanced with electrolytes is essential for nerve function, muscle contractions, and overall hydration. The podcast highlights the benefits of a specific electrolytes brand, Element, which offers various flavors without added sugar, helping individuals find enjoyable ways to boost their electrolyte intake.
