episode GPMD Podcast- Hydration Protocol for Elite Athletes cover

Beskrivelse

In this episode Nurse KC and Dr. Beth explain why even a 2% body-weight loss impairs power and focus, how plasma volume and environment (heat, altitude, cold) change hydration needs, and why salt is critical for fast fluid absorption. They review product options for different intensities (LMNT and PRECISION HYDRATION 1500.) Hydration for ultra-high sodium; Liquid IV and Skratch Labs for performance all-rounders; tailwind or Flow for combined fuel and electrolytes) and give a practical elite protocol: prehydrate 0.1 oz per lb 2–4 hours before, replace 16–24 oz per lb lost after exercise, and if recovery time is under 12 hours aim for 24 oz per lb with a high-sodium snack or drink.
