Welcome back to the Volta Collective! This episode, we’re turning our attention to a topic that’s vital but often misunderstood—hydration. We’ve all been told to drink more water, but did you know that healthy hydration is about more than just fluid intake? We’ll break down the importance of getting the right fluid ratios, and why sodium—often seen as the enemy—is actually essential for your body’s balance. We’ll also explore the benefits of electrolytes and how cold weather and elevation can impact your hydration needs. Plus, we’ll share some practical tips to help you stay optimally hydrated, no matter the conditions. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts—drop a comment below with your hydration tips or any topics you’d like us to explore in future episodes! Happy listening!
