A lot of people are chronically dehdryated.

A lot more than I ever realized.

There are also symptoms that turn out to be dehydration and not something you end up getting medicated for.

Making sure one’s hydrated, especially for the brain at least helps the brain and body be at its capable baseline before addressing further.

I recently started 1L of water first thing in the morning with a pack of electrolyte like a biosteel. The key is to drink at the pace that doesn’t make you pee, which seems possible in the morning. My understanding is most ppl wake up dehydrated after sleep.

It was noticeable after a few days and let me delay and eliminate the first caffeine and progressively push it to later in the morning.

Might not be for everyone but it would be surprising if more than a few people didn’t discover they might be a little dehydrated.

Caffiene is back to being a boost.



A lot of people aren't "chronically dehydrated". If you're not thirsty when you wake up, you're most likely not dehydrated.
