Welcome to summer. You’re hot. You’re sweating. You drink some water. But you wake up the next day with a headache…are you dehydrated?

And is 8 glasses a day really the fix?

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the deep end with all things hydration. Which means I’ll be busting the 8 glasses a day myth and share with you the surprising link between anxiety and hydration status that recent research has suggested.

So instead of just thinking you should probably drink more water - learn the science behind the WHY, including:

• Your brain on water
• Dehydration, hypohydration, and overhydration
• And how much water you should actually drink every day
