If you're a parent, you know how hard it is to find drinks that are actually good for your kids,

and honestly for yourself too. I always read the label before I let my kids drink anything,

and cure is one of those rare finds that checks every box. I've been trying cure hydration

packs for myself when I'm traveling, or even just first thing in the morning, when I know I need to drink more water.

They are plant-based, have no added sugar,

only 25 calories, and they actually hydrate better than water alone. It generally makes drinking

enough water easier, which I know so many of us struggle with. Now let's talk about kids,

because this is where cure is doing cool stuff. My kids would sometimes ask for sugary sports

drinks, especially after playing outside for hours.

Switching to Cure Kids mixes changed everything.

They're formulated with kids in mind, made with real ingredients, no added sugar, no artificial colors or dyes, and free from all the major allergens.

Play, explore, and be kids. Staying hydrated isn't just about water. You also need electrolytes. That's why my family loves Cure. It's clean, it tastes great, and kids actually ask for it. You can grab Cure on Amazon or find a store store near you at curehydration.com slash outside. Real ingredients, real hydration, ready for the whole family.

one of your TED Talks, and it was the one where at the end you hula hooped. You hula hooped

while you were talking. I was like, that's really impressive.

So can you give us a little bit of your history? Like, how did you become the play lady?

Oh, I love being asked that question. So I was a physical education teacher and coach for many

years, and I absolutely loved it. but I was seeing the decline in children

going outside to play and here I heard that Kaboom was naming cities a playful city USA

and this was back in 2009 so I founded a committee. And one of the requirements to be named
