In this episode of the Fiercely Fueled Nutrition Podcast, Coaches Joni and Pia break down one of the most overcomplicated topics in fitness nutrition: hydration and electrolytes. Listen in as they unpack what electrolytes actually do, whether carbs are necessary for hydration, and why social media often makes hydration far more confusing than it needs to be.

They explain how carbohydrates can help transport electrolytes, why sodium and potassium balance matters, and how simple things like urine color can be useful hydration indicators. They also talk about the dangers of overhydration, why chugging water is not always the answer, and how to rehydrate more effectively during training and everyday life.
