Dehydration is one of the most overlooked causes of fatigue, brain fog, and poor performance-- and it’s not just about drinking more water. In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe reveals why electrolytes, especially the right kind of salt, are essential for true cellular hydration, optimal brain function, and long-term health. You’ll learn the top mistakes that keep people chronically dehydrated, the most hydrating foods and minerals, and how to build a simple daily hydration routine that works.
