When it comes to overall health, hydration is the name of the game. However there is actually so much more to proper hydration than simply drinking a lot of water. In this episode, we discuss all things water with the "hydration queen" Tracy Duhs, including why it's helpful to supplement water with trace elements, alternatives to trace minerals if you can't buy them yet, about reverse osmosis, signs of dehydration, and so much more.
