HYDRATE with Tracy Duhs

The ph level or the food we eat and the water we drink is irrelevant to human physiology. It simply doesn’t matter. There is hardly any alkaline water found in nature. So if drinking alkaline water is SO important, how has mankind survived for as long as it without access to it?   If you think about it, most of our water comes from rainwater, which is acidic. And if it wasn’t acidic, it wouldn’t be able to absorb and dissolve minerals. And the minerals in your water is the most important thing about the water you drink…NOT the PH.   PH is only a measurement. If a food or liquid has a high or low PH level, that doesn’t directly correlate to the PH level of your body. This is a major misconception!   It’s all about the minerals. The minerals a food or liquid contains determine whether or not your body becomes alkaline or acidic. So it doesn’t matter if our food or water is acidic or alkaline, what matters is if it alkalizes or acidifies our body when metabolized. That’s the key!   So in this episode of Hydrate, I chat with Robert Slovak on the PH levels of water, why alkaline water isn’t what it’s all cracked up to be, and the actual way to ensure your body is alkalized.    Robert is an International water scientist and regarded as one of the world’s foremost water experts. He has devoted himself to the science of water after life-altering experiences. He took his astronautical and mechanical engineering degrees and decided to pursue the research of reverse osmosis with his brother Jack. The dynamic duo were considered the early developers of Reverse Osmosis technology.   What we discuss:   4:30 - Should you be drinking Alkaline water? 7:00 - Why the PH of water doesn’t matter 12:00 - Why drinking or eating something acidic doesn’t make your body acidic  16:00 - Why water becomes acidified 17:30 - What water is actually alkalizing? 18:30 - You’re at the store, what water should you choose? 23:00 - Where should we get our minerals and trace elements? 27:00 - Why we need minerals in the right proportion 33:00 - How do we get the right PH in our bodies? 35:00 - What about hydrogen? 40:00 - The most important things you need to know about water   Find more from Robert:   Website: waterandwellness.com Instagram: @waterwellnessonline

It’s officially the holiday season. And with that comes the amazing feelings of connection, togetherness, slowing down, and giving. And what I love most about this time of year is that we give our central nervous system the opportunity to actually just relax. But I have noticed that if I don’t keep myself in check, I find myself completely depleted. Can you relate? To avoid this, I've started to ask myself some questions… What is fueling my energy reserves and what is depleting them? This led me to think about the interaction I have with others. How does someone leave me feeling after I interact with them? Do I feel fueled or depleted?  What does this have to do with Hydration? I’m very excited to share it with you today in this solo episode of Hydrate! Plus, I share value key takeaways at the end, so be sure to stay tuned for the entire episode!

We all know the saying, “Things happen when growing old and there is nothing we can do about it.” Well, did you ever think that statement was referring to your vagina? Frequent UTI’s, candida overgrowth, urine leaking, vaginal dryness, less orgasms, and the list goes on and on. Thankfully there’s something we can do about it and in this episode of Hydrate, Dr. Cheri Ong gives us the breakdown. She also explains the vaginal microbiome, its vital role in vaginal health, what can cause it to get unbalanced, and the treatments available. As with everything, there is never just one single issue and she uncovers a lot of layers when treating her patients. Plus, we talk extensively about Radio Frequency treatments for skin tightening and amniotic fluid injection to regenerate the tissues. Dr. Cheri Ong is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Her expertise includes Female Rejuvenation and Aesthetic Breast Surgery, as well as, Functional Medicine and Cellular Health.
