Your Cart is Empty
Hydration is paramount to your health and wellbeing.
When I worked my previous management job, I ran three rental car branches simultaneously at a time where one of the other managers was gone for over a month.
I would try to get my water in regularly, but the locations were incredibly busy. You would always find me at the front desk with customers swarming in.
This played a large part in my stress and I never knew it did until I found a way to actually get drink more water.
You can watch our video on my experience trying to stay hydrated at my job below.
In this short post, we are going to go over why hydration is essential for mental health.
Let's dive in!
Dehydration can impact how we feel and how we think, as most of our brain and body consists of water. The human brain is about 75% water, which makes hydration essential for brain health.
This has a large impact on our mental health as well. According to a 2018 study, people who drank less water had a higher risk of depression and anxiety.
Another study showed the emotional impact on hydration and dehydration. Those who were more dehydrated were negatively impacted on mood. These individuals were more stressed, felt more overwhelmed, and more.
When dehydrated, the brain slows circulation, which lowers blood flow and oxygen in the body.
Essentially, this means that cognition (or brain power) is impaired.
What we recommend with hydration is the following:
With these four recommendations, we hope that you continue to stay hydrated.

Before I started my fitness journey, I was dealing with large bouts of depression that I couldn't stand experiencing.
I felt like I had no control of my life.
It got so bad that I had thoughts of ending it all.
And then, one day, I decided to try and change something in my life.
I saw these incredible weight loss transformations, and decided to try weight loss.
Initially, I thought that was the ticket to happiness, and jumped at it.
I started to exercise... and I hated it.
It was grueling and it wasn't fun.
And then, I started to notice that I felt slightly better after my workouts for hours at a time.
Anxiety can be a challenging condition to manage, but incorporating regular exercise into your routine can provide some support.
Physical activity not only benefits your physical health but also plays a crucial role in enhancing mental well-being.

Let me tell you about my friend Hahn.
Hahn is in his 50s and JACKED.
When I am grappling with him in Jiu-Jitsu, he is a fun roll because he's a friendly guy.
But when he locks in, he is one challenging roll.
While he consults with his doctor for additional solutions, he really dials in on 5 factors that are in his control that have helped him for years.
And for myself in my 30s, these 5 things are the only things I do that have been working extremely well for me.
In this post, I'm going to share with you what I learned about supporting your testosterone levels naturally.
