This season, we’re focusing on essentials: basic things that make life more livable. This week, we’re learning about the importance of hydration.

How much water do you drink every day? The average American drinks about 2.5 cups, or the equivalent of one bottled water a day. Suffice it to say, that’s not enough.

Today we will learn how much water you really need, and what water is doing in and for your body. We’ll hear from my guest, trauma therapist and podcast host Ethan Tuxill, about how important hydration is. You can find him on Instagram @thelaughingmindpodcast.

Thanks to Ethan for sharing his story, and to my editor, Belle Battista.
