Fitness mit M.A.R.K. — Dein Nackt Gut Aussehen Podcast übers Abnehmen, Muskelaufbau und Motivation
2018, Kilimandscharo, 5.895 Meter. Der Gipfel war geschafft – und auf dem Abstieg traf mich die Dehydration wie ein Vorschlaghammer. Kein Durst, keine Warnung. Einfach Blei in den Beinen und ein Kopf, der sich anfühlte wie in Watte gepackt.In dieser Folge geht es um den vielleicht am meisten unterschätzten Faktor für Deine Leistung: Wasser. Du erfährst, warum bereits 1% Flüssigkeitsverlust messbare Einbußen bringt – und was das mit Deiner HRV zu tun hat. Ich erkläre die Wissenschaft dahinter (inklusive einer Rechnung, die mich selbst überrascht hat: 21.600 zusätzliche Herzschläge pro Tag bei chronischer Unterhydrierung).Und Du bekommst 7 konkrete Strategien, die Du heute noch umsetzen kannst.____________*WERBUNG: Infos zum Werbepartner dieser Folge und allen weiteren Werbepartnern findest Du hier.____________ErwähnungenElektrolyte: FormMed Elektrolyt-in-form DrinkLiteraturSawka et al.

This week on Fuel for the Sole, we share the latest updates from our sponsor, RNWY, and dive into several listener questions. We cover dehydration during marathons, whether the timing of your nutrition and hydration impacts performance, how to get the most out of Meghann's carb calculator (and why most runners should consider a three-day carb load), and the ongoing debate of chews versus gels on race day.Want to be featured on the show?

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260310dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” John 4:17-18 Dehydration Jesus met a woman at a well outside of her village one day. They started talking, and before long, her whole life was out in the open. He knew all about her. She couldn’t pretend to be someone she wasn’t. Her past sins and her current sinful living arrangement were no longer secrets. She had made excuses and rationalized her behavior in the past. However, that didn’t bring any real relief to the condition of her soul. What Jesus said revealed that she was spiritually dehydrated. What Jesus said revealed how desperately she needed living water. What proof of spiritual dehydration would Jesus point out in your life? What sins for which you’ve made excuses? What sins did you hope were hidden or forgotten? Would he mention a disregard for marriage in the way you live each day? Would he point to choices about how you spend your time or money that don’t put God first? Would he ask questions that reveal grudges you don’t want to let go of or anger that you let fester in your heart? Would he uncover lies you have told or hurtful things you have said? In his Word, Jesus uses the commands of the law to awaken in us a spiritual thirst that no amount of effort or excuses can satisfy. He shows us that what naturally wells up in us is filthy sludge that can only lead to death and not the pure, clean water that leads to eternal life. Jesus himself is the pure living water we need. He entered the wasteland of our world and found spiritual refreshment every day in God’s Word. Then he hung on a cross, thirsty not just from the physical toll of crucifixion but from the spiritual dehydration of our sins that he took as his own. Now he refreshes us with the promise that our sins are forgiven. Our guilt is gone. He revives us with his mercy. Through his death and resurrection, he gives us new life that will never end. Prayer: Jesus, give me living water every day in the promise of your forgiveness. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Struggling to dial in your nutrition? We have you covered . . . well, sort of. Nutrition and hydration vary greatly between athletes and we'll give you a LOT to think about as you train and prepare for your race. We'll look at high carb, low carb, and maybe more importantly, the right carbs. We'll talk sugar and sodium. We get into the concept of "over-fueling" and why it may be more common than you think. We get into your "work rate" and why it might be the most important variable. We look at sweat rates, when caffeine is a terrible idea, and why the swim is much more important than most people give it credit for. We talk about daily nutrition and why that sets the most important tone for everything you do in training. Come join us at one of our awesome Camps: Nashville, May 13-17 - https://runsignup.com/Race/TN/Nashville/2026Camp Madison, Wisconsin, July 30-Aug 2 - https://c26triathlon.com/camps/triathlon-camp-wisconsin-2026/ Topics: Do you take in too much nutrition? Popping gels as a habit High Carb - Low Carb - The Right Carb Why you have to experiment Carbs/Sugar is a polarizing topic Use carbs as a booster not always the fuel How high is your "work rate?" Dehydration impact What is my hourly calorie and carbohydrate goal for the bike and run? Overfilling on the bike? Gut training?? Is it nutrition or not training properly? How much sodium or electrolyte intake is necessary per hour, and how should I carry it? Sweat rates vary greatly Doing your own sweat test What are common race-day nutrition mistakes, and how do I avoid them? Why caffeine when you're tired is a bad idea Don't be afraid of deviating from your plan by listening to the body Why the swim is SOO important How do I effectively practice my race-day nutrition during long training sessions? Why you get behind the 8-ball and can't get out from it How long can you fend off that feeling of being in the negative?

In reality, resources are thin, burnout runs high, and medics often face issues that would be better handled by social workers and lawyers. This week, Joanna Sokol details her experience on the job and why the field is desperate for better worker rights. Guests: Joanna Sokol, author, A Real Emergency Host: Elizabeth Westfield Producer: Kristen Farrah Are AI Chatbots Causing Psychosis? AI chatbots have become a helpful tool, but for some vulnerable people, interacting with these programs can be dangerous. The constant validation these chatbots provide can feed into users' delusions and cause psychosis. Our expert this week digs into what's causing this psychosis, who's most at risk, and how clinicians can intervene. Guests: Dr. Alexandre Hudon, psychiatrist, assistant clinical professor, University of Montreal Host: Greg Johnson Producers: Kristen Farrah Medical Notes: The Ticking Clock On Male Fertility, Why FDA Research Needs To Be More Inclusive, And The Shocking Effects A Specific Diet Has On Breast Milk FDA drug trials may not be getting enough information.

On July 17, 2006, 29-year-old Dave Buschow collapsed and died from dehydration less than 100 yards from water during a Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS) course in Utah. Despite showing clear signs of severe dehydration for hours—pale skin, muscle cramps, slurred speech, and hallucinations—his guide never offered the emergency water he carried in his pack.

BGMania B-Sides #42 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth drops into Risk of Rain 2, the relentless roguelike shooter that turns isolation and chaos into an ever-escalating fight for survival. What starts as a quiet landing on an alien world quickly spirals into overwhelming waves of enemies, towering bosses, and that constant ticking pressure to move faster before the difficulty swallows you whole. The soundtrack matches that intensity beat for beat, fusing atmospheric ambience with driving percussion, soaring guitar lines, and synth textures that feel both futuristic and strangely human. Tracks build gradually, layering rhythm and melody until they erupt into cathartic climaxes that mirror the game's frantic momentum. It's music that thrives on tension and release, perfectly capturing the lonely vastness of an alien planet while pushing you forward into the storm.

Episode 3276: Dr. Neal Malik dispels the long-held myth that coffee and tea are dehydrating, explaining that these beverages actually contribute to daily fluid intake. Backed by research and meta-analyses, he highlights how regular, moderate consumption can support hydration and even offer protection against chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Quotes to ponder: "Coffee and tea intake actually count towards an individual's overall fluid intake for the day and do not increase the risk of dehydration." "The body does still absorb and use the majority of the liquid consumed via coffee and tea." "The more often coffee and tea are consumed, the less likely someone will experience dehydration."

A practical coaching conversation for new fasters on why slowing down is the fastest way to make real progress. Episode #242
This podcast will discuss an Approach to Dehydration in Children. This Podcast was created by Catherine Korman, a fourth-year medical student at McGill University with the help of Dr. Preetha Krishnamoorthy, a Pediatric Endocrinologist at the Montreal Children's Hospital and the Director of Pediatric Undergraduate Education at McGill University and Dr. Robert Sternszus, a Hospitalist Pediatrician and an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Health Sciences Education at McGill University. This PedsCases podcast focuses on an overview of approach to dehydration including management. There are no conflicts of interest to disclose by the authors.
If you are dehydrated, you are inflamed.Inflammation is where sickness, acidity, and long-term health problems thrive.In this episode, we break down why most people are not actually sick. They are chronically dehydrated and do not even realize it.Water is the most overlooked pillar of health. We talk about why most tap water, bottled water, fridge filters, and popular alkaline water fail to properly hydrate the body. Not because water does not matter, but because the wrong kind of water does.Mikaal Schmitz, founder of Sacred Alkaline Water, joins the show to explain how hydration impacts inflammation, energy, mental clarity, sleep, and longevity.You will learn:Why dehydration fuels inflammationThe difference between clean water and living mineral waterWhy bottled alkaline water is often misleadingHow minerals and hydrogen affect absorption and energyWhy many people drink plenty of water yet remain dehydratedHow whole-home water quality affects both health and propertyMikaal shares his personal journey, years of research, and why water has been ignored in the wellness conversation for too long.If you are serious about your health, your family, and long-term longevity, this episode will change how you think about every glass of water you drink.Water is not optional.

Are your fitness goals realistic for the life of a busy sales professional? "I find that a lot of sales leaders I work with are operating at about 110% capacity. So when we're talking about tackling health and fitness, we have to really understand what is going to be the few habits that are really easy to do and have the biggest bang for buck." That's Josh Hulsebosch, a fitness coach who specializes in working with sales professionals, speaking on the Sales Gravy podcast. His observation cuts straight to the real reason most January fitness resolutions fail: they're trying to add more to an already overflowing plate. The typical sales professional is already drowning in competing priorities while operating at maximum capacity. When New Year's hits, the instinct is to overhaul everything at once. New diet. New workout plan. New morning routine. That approach might work for people with open calendars and low pressure. For salespeople pushing through Q1 kickoffs, territory planning, and quota pressure, it is a fast track to burnout. The All-or-Nothing Trap Meet Steve. He's an individual contributor who decided January 1st would mark his transformation. No more coffee. Five-mile runs every morning. Intermittent fasting. Four hours of cold calling daily because he just finished reading Fanatical Prospecting. Ten days in, Steve slept through his alarm, missed his workout, and ordered a triple-shot latte on the way to work. That emotional crash bled into his work. His prospecting activity dropped. His confidence dipped. His motivation evaporated under the weight of his own perfectionism. Steve's mistake wasn't lack of commitment. He turned ambitious goals into self-sabotage by refusing to acknowledge a simple truth: sustainable change requires starting where you are, not where you wish you were. Most sales professionals approach fitness goals like they approach pipeline building—more activity equals better results. But health doesn't work like prospecting. You can't brute force your way into better sleep or lower stress. The body requires a different strategy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ilLRFM78Mw The 110% Capacity Problem Sales is a cognitively demanding profession. You're the quarterback of the business. Every day requires strategic thinking, relationship management, objection handling, and staying mentally sharp through rejection. When you're already operating at 110% capacity, adding extreme fitness commitments creates another obligation you can't meet, another source of stress, another thing to feel guilty about when you inevitably miss a workout or eat fast food between calls. The sales professionals who successfully improve their health identify which habits will support their performance, then build them into their existing routine. They do not chase trends. They focus on fundamentals. The Four Pillars of Health for Sales Professionals Fitness and health goals for sales professionals need to be realistic for people working at maximum capacity. You can't afford to waste energy on complicated protocols or fitness fads. You need the fundamentals: exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management. When these four pillars are strong, everything else becomes easier. Pillar One: Exercise The fitness industry wants you to believe you need intense workouts, complicated programs, and hours at the gym. For sales professionals, the single most effective exercise habit is walking 8,000 steps daily. This number is achievable for most people regardless of fitness level. It builds momentum without requiring a complete schedule overhaul. When you consistently hit 8,000 steps, you prove to yourself that you can follow through on a commitment without sacrificing your work performance. Movement improves cognitive function, reduces stress hormones, and helps with sleep quality—all critical for sales performance. Make it automatic. Take calls while walking. Park farther away from the office. Walk to get coffee instead of ordering delivery. Use a standing desk and pace during internal meetings. Build movement into what you are already doing rather than treating it as another task. Once 8,000 steps become effortless, you can layer in strength training or other activities. But walking is the foundation. It's the one exercise habit that compounds without breaking you. Pillar Two: Nutrition Sales professionals tend to fall into two nutrition traps. The first is eating like garbage because they're too busy to care. The second is attempting some extreme diet overhaul that lasts nine days before they're back to their old patterns. The solution isn't meal plans or macro tracking or cutting entire food groups. It's having a system that works when you're slammed. Start here: don't skip meals. When you're running between meetings and surviving on coffee, your blood sugar crashes. That kills your cognitive performance and drives you toward quick fixes that leave you feeling worse an hour later. Keep protein-rich foods accessible. Greek yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, protein bars that aren't candy in disguise, rotisserie chicken, nuts. These don't require cooking or planning. They stabilize your energy and keep you sharp during long stretches between meals. Meal prep doesn't need to be complicated. Pick one day, cook a large batch of something simple—grilled chicken, ground turkey, rice, roasted vegetables—and portion it out. Now you have real food available when your schedule gets chaotic. Hydration matters more than most people realize. Dehydration mimics fatigue. Keep water at your desk. Drink it between calls. If you're consuming coffee all day, match it with water. You'll notice the difference in your afternoon energy levels. Pillar Three: Sleep Sleep deprivation destroys sales performance. You get paid to think. When you run on five or six hours of sleep, decision-making suffers. Decision-making suffers. Emotional regulation weakens. Your ability to read prospects and handle objections declines. You can't always control how many hours you sleep, especially during high-pressure periods. But you can improve sleep quality. Start with a simple nighttime routine that signals to your body it's time to wind down. Turn off screens thirty minutes before bed. Keep your bedroom cool. If your mind races when you lie down, acknowledge the thoughts without engaging with them. Notice they're there, then redirect your focus to your breathing. If you wake up in the middle of the night with work thoughts, write them down or set a reminder for the next day. This closes the mental loop and allows your brain to let go. Pillar Four: Stress Management Sales is a pressure environment. Constant decision-making. Emotional labor. Rejection. Urgency. You move from call to meeting to fire drill to another call with almost no downtime. Over time, your nervous system stays stuck in high alert. That chronic stress does not just affect your mood. It impacts your sleep, your focus, your patience with prospects, and your ability to think clearly in complex conversations. If you do not manage it, it will manage you. Controlled breathing is one of the fastest ways to regulate your nervous system. Inhale for four seconds. Hold for four. Exhale for four. Hold for four. This is box breathing. You can do it between calls. Before a tough conversation. While waiting for a prospect to answer. It does not draw attention. It just brings your system back into balance. When stress is regulated, sleep improves. When sleep improves, thinking becomes clearer. Clearer thinking leads to better sales performance. It is a small habit. The impact compounds. Building Fitness Goals That Actually Stick If you're surviving on five hours of sleep, start there. If you're skipping meals and running on caffeine, fix your nutrition first. If you haven't moved your body in weeks, commit to 8,000 steps. Don't try to overhaul all four pillars simultaneously. That's the all-or-nothing trap that killed Steve's momentum in ten days. When you take care of your physical and mental health, you show up sharper for your prospects, your team, and your numbers. Your body is the vehicle for your career. You can't hit quota consistently if you're running on empty. Start with one pillar. Build one habit. Give it time to take root before you add the next one. That's how you win in Q1 and beyond. If you are serious about building fitness habits that actually fit the realities of sales, go deeper with Josh Hulsebosch's performance-focused courses on Sales Gravy University. His programs are built specifically for sales professionals who are operating at full capacity and still want to win on health, energy, and longevity.

This week on the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance, Principal Scientist, Dr. Kristen Holmes sits down with dual-sport national team athlete and exercise physiologist Dr. Heather Logan-Sprenger. The two take a deep dive into one of the most underrated and often forgotten about habits for human performance: hydration.Dr. Logan-Sprenger shares how growing up in Northern Ontario, watching her dad water flowers and her cat grow winter fur, quietly planted the seeds for a lifelong fascination with physiology, stress, and adaptation. From competing for Team Canada in both ice hockey and road cycling to suffering from heat stroke mid–PhD on hydration, her experience and education show just how fragile — and adaptable — the human body really is.Dr. Holmes and Dr. Logan-Sprenger identify what mild dehydration does to your metabolism, brain, and overall performance, and how hydration needs shift across the menstrual cycle.

What if the most powerful "prescription" for energy, digestion, brain health, joint pain, blood pressure, skin, mood, and overall vitality wasn't a pill at all—but water? In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, breaks down why hydration is one of the most overlooked foundations of health—and how chronic, low-grade dehydration may be driving many of the symptoms we normalize as "just part of life," and often approach with prescriptions and surgeries when hydration could have been a successful therapeutic approach. From joint pain and heartburn to brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, and cravings, Jamie explains how water impacts every system in the body, why mild dehydration can derail cognition and energy, and why "drink more water" is both oversimplified—and deeply underestimated. You'll learn: Why hydration should be the first stop, not the last resort How dehydration masquerades as common diagnoses Why joints need time (and movement) to rehydrate How alcohol quietly sabotages hydration and wellbeing Why hydration is foundational to digestion, blood sugar, sleep, stress, and movement How to hydrate effectively (not just drink more water) Plus, Jamie shares clinical stories, practical hydration strategies, and why real, root-cause healing often starts with the simplest things. _____________________________ WATCH THE VIDEO ON SPOTIFY! _____________________________ Recommended episodes & resources mentioned: Book: "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" by Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidji, M.D. (told'ja) Ep 67:Sober Curious with Kristin Rowell The Huberman Lab Podcast - How to Optimize Your Water Quality & Intake (So you can get deeper into the science, fluoride and other harmful chemicals in our drinking water, filtration methods, etc.) Drink some water.

Dr. Brennan Spiegel, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai and Professor of Medicine and Public Health at UCLA, author of the book Pull, explains why illness is often a failure to manage gravity. He describes how our relationship with gravity defines strength, balance, digestion, mental stability, and emotional health. Take the Gravotype Quiz at BrennanSpiegelMD.com to identify how your body manages gravity. Key Insights and Action Steps — Dr. Brennan Spiegel "Every single cell of your body evolved from this force of gravity. Physics came first, and biology came second." Illness arises when we fail to manage gravity. Every organ, tendon, and cell depends on that relationship. "When you stand up straight and lift your diaphragm, it pulls up this sack of potatoes that we all have in our belly. When you open up the gut, it opens up digestion." Posture determines how well the gut, diaphragm, and circulation function. Sitting compresses digestion and lowers energy. "Your balance and relationship to gravity is a predictor of how long you're going to live." Balance, grip strength, and posture are measurable indicators of longevity. "The inner ear is like a gyroscope constantly keeping track of your position in relation to gravity." The nervous system continuously measures gravity. Inner-ear disturbances can create dizziness, anxiety, and panic. "When you're depressed, you can't get up out of bed. Your body is slumped over. It's almost like there's so much gravity pulling on your body, it's like you're in a black hole." Depression mirrors an excessive gravitational load. Emotional heaviness is a physical experience of being pulled down. "Strong negative emotional experiences can permanently change the way the brain forms… the mind has learned to be pulled down emotionally, physically, socially." Childhood trauma reshapes how the brain perceives gravity, making the body feel heavier and slower to rise. "The feet are a gravity management surface… only five percent of the body's surface area but holding one hundred percent of the weight." Feet are the interface between body and planet. Strengthening them restores alignment and balance. "Your relationship to the planet, both latitudinally and altitudinally, will determine your health." Altitude, light, and environment influence serotonin, immunity, and microbiome function. "Serotonin itself is a gravity management substance." Serotonin regulates mood and physical stability, linking emotional and gravitational balance. "When it's stimulated, it activates the rest and digest phase and helps release serotonin." The vagus nerve is the primary connection between body and mind, calming the system and improving serotonin flow. "I pretended I was on a bigger planet… I became stronger and stood up straighter." Carrying additional resistance through weighted movement improves posture, strength, and metabolism. "When we lay down to sleep, we give our body a break… the blood easily flows into our brain and flushes out amyloid." Sleep restores gravitational equilibrium and supports brain recovery. "Gravity doesn't change, but your relationship to gravity does." Long-term health depends on strengthening that relationship physically, mentally, and emotionally. Action Items from Dr. Brennan Spiegel 1. Identify your gravotype. Take the 16-question quiz at BrennanSpiegelMD.com to learn which of the eight gravotypes you belong to and how your body manages gravity. 2. Build gravity fortitude. Strengthen the muscles and bones that keep you upright — especially your back, core, and legs. "When you stand up straight and lift your diaphragm, it pulls up the gut and opens digestion." 3. Stand tall and move often. Avoid long hours of sitting. Use a standing desk or take frequent standing breaks. Sitting compresses the abdomen, slows digestion, and reduces serotonin. 4. Strengthen the diaphragm and posture daily. Practice standing with shoulders back and chin level to engage the diaphragm and improve breathing and gut function. 5. Train your balance. Test and improve balance by standing on one leg, walking heel-to-toe, or using a balance board. "Your balance and relationship to gravity is a predictor of how long you're going to live." 6. Practice grip and hanging strength. Hang from a bar daily. Aim for 30 seconds, then increase gradually toward 2 minutes. Even short "dead hangs" improve shoulder, spine, and nervous-system alignment. 7. Use light weighted resistance. Try a weighted vest or light ankle weights while walking or doing chores. "I pretended I was on a bigger planet… I became stronger and stood up straighter." 8. Walk, run, or train barefoot or in minimalist shoes (safely). Let the feet feel the ground to activate stabilizing muscles. "When you ground your foot, everything else pulls up straight from there." 9. Reconnect with the ground. Spend time standing or walking on natural surfaces (grass, sand, earth) when possible. 10. Stay hydrated. Keep enough fluid in your body to "pump blood and oxygen up into the brain." Dehydration weakens gravity tolerance and causes dizziness or fatigue. 11. Regulate the nervous system. Do slow, controlled breathing through pursed lips to stimulate the vagus nerve and calm the body. "Slow meditative breathing activates the rest-and-digest phase." 12. Consider gentle vagus-nerve stimulation. Use only safe methods such as breathing, humming, or medical devices under supervision. Avoid carotid massage unless advised by a doctor. 13. Strengthen vestibular and proprioceptive awareness. Engage activities that challenge coordination: yoga, dance, gymnastics, tai chi, or balance training. 14. Manage mental gravity. Notice emotional heaviness as a physical sensation; practice posture, breathing, and grounding to counteract "mental black holes." 15. Use awe and nature to elevate mood. Spend time in nature, watch sunsets, or listen to music that evokes awe. "Feeling part of something greater than yourself elevates mood and serotonin." 16. Increase natural serotonin. Seek sunlight, exercise outdoors, connect socially, and reduce processed foods. Serotonin helps both mood and muscle tone to "fight gravity physically and mentally." 17. Optimize sleep for gravitational recovery. Sleep 7–8 hours flat or slightly inclined if you have reflux. Avoid heavy meals within 2 hours of sleep. Limit screens before bed. "When we lay down to sleep, we give our body a break… the blood easily flows into our brain." 18. Manage reflux and digestion. If prone to reflux, raise the head of the bed about 10 degrees or use a wedge pillow. Sleep on your left side to reduce acid reaching the esophagus. 19. Support circulation through movement. Use your muscles as pumps, walk regularly, stretch calves, and move legs during travel or desk work to prevent stagnation. 20. Avoid chronic compression. Reduce time bent over laptops or phones; keep screens at eye level to protect diaphragm and digestion. 21. Engage with natural environments. Nature exposure increases serotonin and improves gravity resilience. "Being in green spaces is mood-elevating because that's what we evolved with." 22. Monitor environment and altitude. If you live or work at high altitude, be mindful of mood or sleep changes and adjust oxygen exposure and sunlight time. 23. Balance convenience with movement. Spiegel warns that modern comfort, constant sitting, processed food, artificial environments, represents "our species losing the battle against gravity." 24. Reframe health. Adopt the mindset that "gravity doesn't change, but your relationship to gravity does." Everything, from mood to digestion, is part of managing that relationship.

Water is essential to a child's health, making up the majority of their body weight. But when illness or heat disrupts that balance, dehydration can set in quickly and dangerously. Despite being one of the most common pediatric issues, the simplest and most effective solution often goes unnoticed: oral rehydration. In this episode, we'll shine a light on this powerful yet underused therapy. From recognizing early warning signs to selecting the best approach, we'll explore the science and practical tools behind keeping children safely hydrated. Joining us virtually from Iowa is Aamer Imdad, MD. He is a gastroenterologist at Stead Family Children's Hospital, as well as an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Iowa. Some highlights from this episode include: The most common causes for dehydration Recognizing the most reliable clinical signs for identifying dehydration How oral rehydration solutions work and which ones to recommend for each patient When lab tests are helpful For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Do you feel like you're carrying a six-month-old baby in your stomach after eating? Or bloat so much from just drinking water that you're convinced something's seriously wrong? You're definitely not alone—but here's the thing: it's not normal, and it doesn't have to be your reality. In this episode, Jensen and Lacey break down why bloating happens and—more importantly—what actually fixes it. Spoiler: it's usually not about the food. From nervous system regulation to mineral imbalances to the simple act of chewing, this conversation reveals why your body is bloating and gives you immediate, actionable tools to stop it. Whether you're dealing with afternoon puffiness, constant digestive discomfort, or that tight-pants-by-dinner feeling, you'll learn exactly where to start. In this episode, you'll hear: [00:00:42] - Why bloating is common but NOT normal [00:28:09] - How rushing and distraction during meals shut down your digestion [00:29:31] - The fiber trap: too much or too little causes bloating [00:30:28] - Dehydration and mineral deficiencies (sodium, potassium, magnesium) trigger gas and constipation [00:31:27] - The circadian rhythm connection: eating late at night creates bloat [00:34:49] - Nervous system dysregulation: fight-or-flight literally shuts down digestion [00:37:39] - Signs you need deeper testing [00:38:53] - Chewing trick that gives immediate results [00:41:21] - Real food vs. ultra-processed: shop the perimeter [00:42:01] - Nervous system regulation: deep breathing, walks, sunlight, slow mornings [00:42:26] - Why eating before dark matters [00:44:47] - The water-chugging mistake: don't dilute stomach acid during meals [00:46:23] - Gluten's real impact: inflammation, not necessarily bloating Key Takeaways: Bloating is a symptom of imbalance—it's your body signaling that something needs attention. The cause is usually lifestyle, nervous system state, minerals, or gut health, but it's fixable. Your nervous system directly controls digestion. Eating in fight-or-flight mode literally shuts down stomach acid, redirects blood flow away from your digestive organs, and kills off the good bacteria that breaks down food.

This episode is for you if life feels loud, busy, or emotionally intense—whether it's the holidays, Mercury Retrograde, or just “a lot all at once.” I'm talking about how to access and trust your intuition when your nervous system is activated and your energetic boundaries feel thin. Instead of spiraling into self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or “maybe I should just quit,” I'll help you reconnect to the inner knowing that's always been there. You'll be guided through a simple grounding practice, learn why your intuition can feel harder to hear in chaotic seasons, and discover one of the most common intuitive gifts (that you probably already have): claircognizance—clear knowing. You'll walk away with practical tools you can use right away, including a tiny pause practice, a hydration ritual for energetic protection, and a fresh way to understand your intuitive language. In this episode, I share: Why intense seasons (like the holidays + Mercury Retrograde) can activate old patterns, people-pleasing, and self-doubt How nervous system activation turns up the volume on everything except your intuition A guided grounding + breath practice you can use anytime things feel loud What claircognizance is—and how to recognize your own “I just know” moments A simple pause-and-check-in practice to hear what feels true for you How hydration impacts your energetic boundaries (grape vs. raisin metaphor) Why water helps you receive intuitive information more clearly How family dynamics and old roles get triggered around the holidays—and what to do about it An invitation into Improve Your Intuition in 6 Weeks, my high-touch intuitive development container Links & Resources
Ian Cartwright thrives on maintaining headspace through disciplined organization, both physically and mentally. Drawing inspiration from his training routine, he likens his approach to rowing—focusing on executing every stroke perfectly rather than worrying about the outcome. For Ian, success in sales, much like athletic performance, comes from controlling the controllables: dedicating time to preparation, fitness, and structure. By keeping his environment and routines in order, Ian believes the desired results will naturally follow.Joining me is Ian, a New Zealand-based sales coach, speaker, and author of "The Six Fundamentals of Sales Know How To." Known for his clear, actionable advice, Ian shares how structured fitness routines can sharpen mental resilience, increase motivation, and help you achieve that all-important sense of accomplishment—even in the face of sales' toughest challenges. From 5:15 a.m. gym sessions to mastering the art of "keeping the water up," Ian reveals the habits that fuel his energy and productivity, both in his business and his life as a masters rower. Whether you're a road warrior battling travel temptations or simply searching for ways to boost your daily focus, this episode is packed with practical tips and real-world wisdom to help you bring your A game—physically and professionally. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Career benefits of a morning gym routine [04:16] Ian's fitness and hydration habits [08:22] Prioritize your health because it's constant [10:53] Three key essentials for wellbeing: Exercise three times a week, find quiet time for reflection, and maintain proper nutrition [11:08] Fresh air and quiet space allow you to collate your thoughts [13:01] Improve creativity and professional performance by getting fitter and altering your relationship with alcohol Fitness as Mental Fitness Ian Cartwright emphasizes that fitness isn't just about looking good—it's about sharpening your mental edge. He likens sales to rowing, an activity he's passionate about: "You can't control the outcome, but you can try and execute 200 perfect strokes." In both sales and sport, discipline over your activities—preparation, practice, routines—matters more than fixating on results. He recommends: Early Morning Workouts Whether at home or traveling, Ian makes it a point to visit a gym; this consistency sets the tone for his entire day. Hydration Keeping the water up—especially in a profession built on back-to-back meetings and endless coffee—is vital. Dehydration quickly leads to mental fog, sapping focus and productivity. Rowing (Erging) As a master rower, Ian includes long sessions on the rowing machine. This routine not only works the body but also provides extended periods for thinking and processing, combining physical exertion with creative reflection. Well-Being in High-Pressure Sales Sales can be a grind. Targets are moving, deals take time, and rejection is part of the territory. That's why Ian sees fitness as an essential part of resilience. Physical health helps salespeople bounce back, stay persistent, and "top up their tank"—staying sharp and ready for opportunities. He draws clear parallels between celebrating small gains in fitness (lifting an extra kilo, running a little further) and maintaining consistent sales activities. Both reinforce confidence and momentum. Common Challenges—and How to Overcome Them Travel, social gatherings, and high-pressure environments often undermine healthy habits. Ian humorously refers to these hazards as "buffets, booze, and bum warming," highlighting the sedentary and indulgent lifestyle that salespeople can fall into. His antidote is kindness and realism. Don't set yourself up to fail; start with attainable routines—three workouts a week, daily hydration, and making time for fresh air and reflection. Don't compare yourself to others; focus instead on what you can control. Recognizing Burnout and Countering the "Fog" Fatigue and burnout manifest as mental fog and unproductive days. The key, says Ian, is knowing your own rhythms and triggers: "If you know your own rhythm, then you can set yourself up better for success." If you miss a session or slip up, avoid self-criticism—just get back on track the next day. Sales isn't just a numbers game—it's a human endeavor. Prioritizing physical health, nurturing routines, and cultivating a resilient mindset transforms how you show up, both for your clients and for yourself. So lace up your trainers, fill up your water bottle, and invest in your most important sales asset—yourself. Resources & People Mentioned Admiral William H.

In this episode, I explore the critical role of cellular hydration as the foundational first step in the seven naturopathic steps to treatment to optimise health. Join me as I talk about why proper hydration goes far beyond just drinking water, how chronic dehydration impacts inflammation, hormone balance, and fertility at the cellular level, and the three progressive stages to restoring optimal hydration in your body. I'll unpack the science behind cellular hydration, explain why your cholesterol might actually be a dehydration response, and provide insights and actionable tips to help you build the foundation your body needs to reduce inflammation, support hormone balance, and optimise your fertility journey. A number of actionable tips were discussed including how to recognise signs of chronic dehydration, which foods and drinks are secretly dehydrating you, the proper omega-3 to omega-6 ratio for reducing inflammation, how to implement the three-stage hydration protocol, and why you should consider taking a break from supplements while you establish proper hydration.

Stressed out? Try drinking a glass of water. Dehydration can mimic the symptoms of anxiety. Being properly hydrated is good for your energy, fitness and skin. It's just as important for your stress levels. A recent article in Women's Health broke down a study on the effects of being under-hydrated on anxiety and future health. Abigail Cuffey is the executive editor of Women's Health. "The researchers ultimately found that those who were drinking lower levels of fluids, lower levels of water — they had a bigger reaction to stress, and they put them through various stress tests. And those who were less hydrated had a bigger reaction, had a more powerful reaction to stress," Cuffey said. We've always known proper hydration is key for good energy, fitness and skin. Now we know it can impact mood. Think of your water bottle as another tool, like meditation, to control stress. "Now, is it going to magically take away all of your problems? I wish it could remove all the stress. But it really can help, and these really simple, easy things that we do also just make us feel like we're in control," Cuffey said. On this Dying to Ask: The link between being properly hydrated and stress levels Why dehydration mimics anxiety A simple way to know if you're drinking enough water How dehydration impacts your future health How much water should we drink daily?

Hydration Myths & Facts: Why Drinking Ice Water May Not Be Ideal. Nutritionist Leyla Muedin delves into the often-overlooked aspects of hydration, particularly focusing on the potential drawbacks of drinking ice-cold water. She explains the effects of excessively cold water on digestion and overall health, citing insights from experts like Dr. Harry Emrich. Leyla highlights why traditional practices and scientific evidence suggest that cool rather than cold water is more beneficial, especially during warm weather. Additionally, the episode offers practical advice on maintaining hydration through alternative methods, such as consuming water-rich fruits and vegetables, and the potential hazards of certain beverages like hot caffeinated drinks and alcohol during heat waves.
See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog The summer of 2025, the US has experienced record heat. Most Americans have been under a severe heat warning for months, which has caused me to review the symptoms, prevention and treatment for Heat Stroke. This summer's heat was unusual, however it may recur in the future, so we must learn to deal with the effect of prolonged exposure to dangerous heat. Heat stroke is not classically a stroke as you know it, however heat stroke is a condition of a different kind, but no less deadly. The conditions that can lead to heat stroke are listed below. Please think of these signs of Heat Stroke before you go outside in severe heat. At Risk Conditions for heat Stroke: High ambient temperature High body temperature (body temp of 104 or more) High humidity, Prolonged sun exposure (more than an hour at a time) Dehydration Loss of electrolytes through sweating which can result in heart attacks, seizures delirium and can lead to death. The hot weather we have been experiencing has been prolonged and has all the qualities described above that may lead to heat stroke: Temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, High Humidity (over 50%), Bright sunshine, causing body temp to rise rapidly and continue for a long time even after a person has gone inside to cool off in air conditioning. You Should be aware of the beginning signs of heat stroke so you can remove yourself from the heat before it becomes an emergency, and you can protect your family from heat stroke. The early signs/symptoms of heat stroke include: Heavy sweating/ or no sweating at all Thirst Weakness of muscles Headache And Dizziness When you develop these symptoms, please listen to the signs your body is sending you and seek a cool place inside away from heat and sunlight. If the symptoms don't resolve quickly, then take the steps below to prevent progression of symptoms to result in heat stroke. Lie down (heat stroke can cause you lose consciousness and hurt yourself if you pass out) Drink cool but not cold water continually Drink Electrolytes (preferably products that contain Potassium, and sodium, chloride, magnesium) with every other 12oz of water. If you don't have electrolytes, Gatorade can be substituted for electrolytes (It is only Potassium). If you are unprepared and away from civilization, put several shakes of salt into a glass of cool water and drink it. Apply icepacks on the areas of the body that can cool you quickly: Underarms, groin, and neck. This will cool your body down faster than just sitting in a cool space. Don't be alone. Ask someone to sit with you in case you pass out or seize, and they can call 911 to take you to the ER. They can also make sure you continue to drink water and take electrolytes. If you feel your headache or weakness getting worse call 911 yourself. That is a late sign of Heat Stroke. Lastly, Heat stroke can make a person act out, with a temporary personality change. The affected person can hit and push the people trying to help him or her. That means they are in the late stage of heat stroke, and they need IV fluids a cooling blanket and Medical help. Remember, heat stroke can be deadly, and immediate action must be taken. If you or someone else has the following symptoms, then Call 911: passes out or seizes, gets confused and wanders around, acts out and hits or pushes has a rapid heart rate, has a bounding pulse, has either hot dry or very damp skin, complains of a headache or dizziness, nausea, vomiting rapid shallow breathing, like panting Often, they will complain of feeling cold and they shiver even though the temperature is very hot. Don't Wait! call 911! In these cases, tell the 911 operator that you suspect heat stroke. So how do you prevent heat stroke? There are many ways to prevent heat stroke, if you recognize the conditions outside will put you at risk. First determine whether you are at high risk (below are the risks). Anyone can get heat stroke but people with the following conditions will develop heat stroke faster and more severely than healthy young individuals. The following conditions should best be treated by staying in a cool area inside away from the sun. Know the Symptoms of heat stroke and follow the directions listed above. Prepare yourself for heatstroke by carrying electrolytes more water than you think you will need, plastic zip locks to put ice in if needed High Risk Medical Conditions and Medications Previous History of a Heat Stroke The biggest risk for heat stroke is having had it in the past. People who have a history of heat stroke should be extra careful to avoid going outside or exercising in the heat and humidity. They should stay inside during the heat of the day or on days that put them at risk. If you have almost had a mild form that you acted promptly and were able to avert the severe symptoms, that still makes you at risk for heat stroke. Heart Disease or other Circulatory medical conditions Diseases of the circulatory system place you at risk for getting a more severe form of heat stroke more quickly, so limit your time in the heat. Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Imbalance, from genetics or medications Disease of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems that cause excessive fluid loss due to sweating or increased body heat can cause you to develop heat stroke with less time in the heat and sun. These conditions affect your ability to sweat, which is the way humans cool themselves down. Patients with these diseases don't sweat to cool yourself down like other people. Stay inside until the temperature and humidity is safer. Age above 50 We all know that we are not as physically able as we age, even if we use testosterone pellets, so older age is a risk factor. Please limit your time outside in dangerous conditions to one hour at a time with 10 minutes or more inside a cool place before going back outside. Medications that put you at risk for heat stroke when exposed to heat and humidity You may be unaware of the risk that some medications have when it comes to heat stroke. Medications are part of our lives and most of the time we don't think about them causing problems or side effects, but many types of relatively safe medications can cause you to have heat stroke when the other folks around you are completely normal. My Experience with Heat Stroke I was playing golf in August in St. Louis, when the starting temperature at 8:30 am was 88 degrees F, and the humidity was 65%. Being me, I thought to myself,” Well I'm in good shape because I have minimal body fat and good muscles, I should be able to golf with 3 other women even in this heat.” That day the humidity increased to 80% and the temp was over 90. Then the Pro announced that we had to stay on the cart path. Well that makes golf a lot harder…,it takes twice as many steps during a round and it requires even more exertion than walking the course and dragging a bag behind you….but I'm not a quitter (but clearly I was not thinking about being sick and taking my life in my hands)…which means I was stupid! I want all of you to be smarter than I was! Right away I started sweating profusely so much so that I had to change my golf glove three times in 6 holes. I still felt ok, but I couldn't hit the ball as far as usual, and I continued to sweat. Despite 7 bottles of water, 2 with electrolytes, I started getting a headache, and then I couldn't make contact with the golf ball. My balance was off….” Uh-oh,” I thought, “it's happening”….At that point I knew I had to go inside but was far away from the club house. I continued one more hole and I was dizzy and had poor balance….so I quit, and I drove the cart back to the club house not finishing the 9 holes. I sat inside, drank water took another packet of electrolytes and put ice packs under my arms and laid down in the women's locker room until my headache was bearable, but I knew I was not going to be productive the rest of the day. It took 24 hours of lying down in a cool room, drinking quarts of water and taking electrolytes, putting ice around my neck and head, and doing nothing else! I kept thinking “why did the heat and humidity affect me and not the other 3 women?” We are all in good shape for our ages 60-70, and we all exercise and lift weights as well as play golf a few times a week, so I thought about what my risk factors were. Finally, I checked out all the medications and supplements I am on and found that some of them put me at risk! This incident made me look up the all the meds that can impact people and increase their risk of getting heat stroke. Medications That Increase Risk of Heat Stroke Diuretics- Spironolactone is a diuretic given to all women who take T pellets to prevent facial hair and acne. It can cause dehydration in hot weather unless enough water, and electrolytes are taken to replenish body fluids. Other reasons for taking a diuretic is hypertension, heart disease, swelling, and poor circulation. eg Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and Maxide are diuretics. Beta Blockers- such as Metoprolol, Propranolol slow down the heartbeat and reduce blood pressure. The actions of Beta blockers slow the cooling mechanism of the body. Antidepressants- There ae many types of antidepressants but the “Serotonin-reuptake-inhibitors” such as Lexapro, and Wellbutrin can increase the risk of Heat Stroke, but the mechanism is not known. Amphetamines like ADD medicine, Sleep Apnea drugs, and old-fashioned weight loss pills speed up the heart rate, increase baseline body temperature and decrease the body's ability to cool itself. Thyroid Replacement-Thyroid replacement increases the heat produced by muscle tissue therefore it increases body temperature. This causes a patient on thyroid to have fewer degrees to get to a critical body temperature. I will leave you with the warning that hot weather can kill you and knowing the signs and symptoms of Heat Stroke is the first step toward helping yourself and others avoid the worst consequences. If you have medical conditions or take medications that increase your risk of developing heat stroke you should spend most of your time indoors staying cool when heat and humidity is highest. I will leave you with the warning that hot weather can kill you and knowing the signs and symptoms of Heat Stroke is the first step toward helping yourself and others avoid the worst consequences. If you have medical conditions or take medications that increase your risk of developing heat stroke you should spend most of your time indoors staying cool.
