We’ll be covering:   -Whitleys very simple (and scientific) strategy for determining your hydration needs -The signs and symptoms of poor hydration (there are more than you think) -The surprising truth about whether or not coffee is ACTUALLY a diuretic -Why the 64 ounces of water per day equation doesn’t work for everyone -Whether or not feeling thirsty means “it’s too late” when it comes to dehydration -If it’s EVER possible for thirst to be mistaken for hunger -Practical things you can start doing TODAY to get more hydration -& MORE!    For our resources and shownotes, visit foodheavenmadeeasy.com/podcast.   HOOKUP CODES:  -Beauty Counter: For a limited time, new customers can get FREE SHIPPING on your first purchase of $100 or more at beautycounter.com  with promo code FOODHEAVEN   Resources: Hydrationcheck.com Whitley’s Twitter   Produced by Dear Media See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
