Welcome to my mommy's podcast.

This podcast is brought to you by Element, and this is a company you might have heard me talk about before,

0:10.3

and I really love their products because proper hydration leads to better sleep.

0:15.1

It sharpens focus.

0:16.1

It improves energy and so much more.

But hydration is not about just drinking water because being optimally hydrated,

0:23.6

a state called you hydration is about optimizing your body's fluid ratios. And this fluid balance
