Water Wisdom: Hydration Myths, Facts & Proper Drinking

We grew up drinking hose water with no water bottles in sight—and now everyone's carrying around a gallon jug like it's the law. Turns out, a lot of what you "know" about hydration is wrong. We're busting myths about thirst, clear pee, and that whole gallon-a-day thing.What we discuss:The thirst myth—what "if you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated" actually gets wrong about how your body signals what it needsWhat happened when Johnna did 75 Hard and had to force down that last quart of water every night (and why it made her sick)The pee color situation—why completely clear urine isn't actually the goal and what you're flushing out when it looks like thatWhat Clint learned in basic training about drinking too much water in San Antonio heat (and the canteen rule that got people in trouble)The microplastics study that compared glass bottles to plastic bottles—and which one actually had MORE contaminationWhy 60-70% of bottled water is just filtered tap water (including which major brands are literally California faucet water)This is about learning to trust your body instead of outsourcing your power to "big water" marketing and arbitrary rules. We're walking through what dehydration actually looks like, why forcing water all day can backfire, which salts to add back in (Redmond's, Baja Gold, not Celtic right now), and why your morning coffee actually counts toward hydration. Plus we're breaking down what to look for in bottled water and why maybe you should just filter your own.
