Hydration: The #1 Wellness Habit You’re Probably Ignoring 

Have you ever felt tired, foggy or emotionally stretched and assumed it was just “life”? In this episode of The GA Wellness Podcast, we begin our deeper dive into the HNSF pillars, starting with hydration and why it shapes your clarity, steadiness and energy more than you may realise.

I share my own story of teaching fitness on empty, running on coffee and adrenaline and the light bulb moment when I discovered my exhaustion wasn’t from doing too much. I was simply dehydrated. That one small shift created a ripple into everything that came next and it is the exact reason hydration is the first pillar of the HNSF Method.

This conversation explores hydration as an act of nervous system care and a simple way to support your mind, body and emotional steadiness in the reality of your full life.

📋 What we covered:

• A return to Episode 001 and the four HNSF pillars.
• Why hydration is the first pillar and the most overlooked habit.
• My story from “coffee on empty” to feeling clearer and more supported.
• How dehydration affects your mood, focus, energy and nervous system.
• The Australian stats that reveal most adults are not drinking enough.
