Anecdotal, for sure, but I have ran, crewed and volunteered in some of the hottest, humid conditions on the planet and the idea that we don't need electrolyte supplementation seems a bit absurd to me. I think people overdo it, of course, and people think it's a cure all for insufficient fueling, hea

I’ve spent the last decade researching this and trying to find an answer. The short answer is there is absolutely nothing you can do. Nothing. We refer to drinking alcohol as intoxication for a reason. It’s toxic. You are poisoning yourself. It’s typically just a mild poisoning but the byproducts of

Definitely electrolytes! I've found that when I keep my daughter pumped full of them, she stays much more stable in hear. She's PAI though, so doesn't produce aldosterone. I have heard of some SAI folks really benefitting from them too though. Def worth a try. Drip drop are my favorites for my kiddo

Hey, do you take your BP? For me (and I have different chronic illnesses) my problem with falling asleep lik mandatory you going down now! was my BP… if I drank electrolytes boom it went back up to reasonable. The best electrolytes I’ve found is drip drop. Poor it into a bottle of water sitting or l

I drink Gatorade zeros. They have zero sugar and zero calories. My doctors say that there is no problem drinking these and I mix Phos-Nak packets and/ or drip drop packets (both on Amazon) to the Gatorade Zero and it helps with my electrolytes and hydration.

Happy New Year to you and Mr D! I've been on Mounjaro for over 2 years now. (Similar to Wegovy but not the same) I have fatty liver, and my Dad passed from MASH cirrhosis, so I take that seriously. Down 100 pounds! Almost back to a 'normal' BMI range. This stuff is seriously magic in a vial. There's

Personally I like drip drop. I think it tastes really good, and has 330mg of sodium which isn't the most but is on the higher side for electrolyte drinks. Plus I can drink multiple a day or add an extra stick to my water or add a pinch or two of sea salt to it. It's really the only one with flavors

1000% start miralax and electrolytes if you haven't already! That made the biggest difference with my discomfort and fatigue hands down. Aim for electrolytes that are higher in potassium rather than just sodium - DripDrop was great. Smaller meals more frequently were also way better than a few large

you're not eating enough and drinking enough - I read your post below - you need 64-96 oz of water every day, 1 electrolyte packet a day (I use drip drop and do not like liquid IV at all); you need carbs and protein - you don't have to eat meat right now you can get it in other things. you need blan

You're welcome. I also forgot to mention that you should make sure to drink not just water but electrolytes when taking the magnesium. Avoid Gatorade because it's too salty and it's a sports drink, and we're not doing anything for sport. Instead, try Drip Drop or coconut water. Sometimes I do all th
