Sweat Tech and more with Andy Blow - Ep. #82

Sport Scientist and co-founder of Precision Fuel & Hydration, Andy Blow, joins us to discuss some of the emerging wearable technology that may (or may not!) help athletes be more proactive in their hydration and electrolyte replenishment strategies.   We also ask for Andy’s interpretation on a recent scientific paper authored by Dr. Alan McCubbin that proposes a mathematical modeling technique for determining whether athletes should pursue sweat composition testing or more targeted hydration and sodium replenishment strategies, or go by taste. Lastly, it’s summer for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. Who is at risk for heat stress? Tune in to learn more!
