In the first episode of Fuel for the Sole, we answer Caryn Just's question about hydrating properly in the Summer. We discuss the importance of knowing your daily hydration needs, sweat and sodium rates, and how to acclimate to the Summer heat and humidity faster. We also dive into some common misconceptions about hydrating, the effects of alcohol and why you shouldn't take nutrition advice from non-sports dietitians on Instagram.
