0:00.0	Welcome to my mommy's podcast.
0:04.5	This podcast is brought to you by Element, and this is a company you might have heard me talk about before, and I really love their products because proper hydration leads to better sleep.
0:14.9	It sharpens focus. It improves energy and so much more. But hydration is not about just drinking water because being optimally hydrated,
0:23.5	a state called ehydration is about optimizing your body's fluid ratios. And this fluid balance
0:29.0	depends on many factors, including the intake and excretion of electrolytes, which many people
0:34.1	don't get the right amounts of. Electrolites are charged minerals that conduct electricity
0:38.5	to power your nervous system. I talk a lot about nervous system on this podcast. They also regulate hydration
0:43.8	status by balancing fluids inside and outside of our cells. Element was created with a science-backed
0:49.5	electrolyte ratio of 100 milligrams of sodium, 200 milligrams of potassium, and 60 milligrams of magnesium with
0:55.9	no sugar. Since electrolytes are a key component of hydration, here's what happens when we get our
1:00.7	electrolytes dialed in. We have more steady energy, improved cognitive function, suffer fewer
1:05.9	headaches and muscle cramps, we can perform better for longer, and especially the support
1:10.3	fasting or low carb diet because when we stop eating carbs for longer, and especially the support fasting or low-carb diet,
1:11.7	because when we stop eating carbs, like during fast, the absence of insulin allows the kidneys
1:16.2	to release sodium.
1:17.4	So replacing that lost sodium with electrolytes can help you feel good on the fast.
1:21.7	Since element is zero sugar, it also doesn't break up fast.
1:25.5	Electrolites are also important for maintaining blood pressure,
1:28.3	regulating digestion and proper fluid balance, keeping skin hydrated, which is a big one that I feel like often gets missed, and so much more.
1:35.3	I feel like proper electrolytes is a missing piece for a lot of people, and I love elements new canned drinks,
1:42.3	which are sparkling water with all the same ratios of minerals
1:45.0	I just talked about, and they are delicious. You can check it out and learn more at drinkelement.com
