The Science of Hydration: Exploring Nutrition, Wellness, and the Body's Need for Balance

Most of us know we should drink more water — but are we actually hydrating our bodies the right way? In this episode, Dr. Sveta is joined by Lisa Barnes, Chief Science Officer and VP of Research & Development at LifeVantage, for a deep dive into what true hydration really means. Together they unpack the science behind oxidative stress, electrolyte balance, and why up to 70% of people are dehydrated without even knowing it. Lisa also breaks down two new products in the LifeVantage Axial line. Axial X is a pre-workout formula featuring adaptogens, medicinal mushrooms (cordyceps and reishi), and natural caffeine for sustained energy. Axial Hydrate is an advanced electrolyte formula packed with trace minerals, tart cherry extract, rosehip, and glycine to support cellular recovery and performance. Whether you're an athlete, a busy professional, or just someone who wants to feel sharper and less fatigued, this episode will change the way you think about what's in your water.
