About this episode

WHOOP VP of Performance Kristen Holmes sits down with Andy Blow, a world-renowned expert in sweat, dehydration, and cramping to discuss how you can lock in your hydration. Andy draws on his experience as a triathlete and a Formula 1 sports scientist to help explain what you need to know about your own hydration -- and how to avoid common mistakes when it comes to hydration and fueling. Andy discusses the variability in sweat losses from person to person (8:56), what our bodies do while sweating (10:08), perceived effort and thirst (11:50), pre-hydrating (16:20), diet and hydration (21:46), caffeine's role in hydration (24:27), alcohol (30:09), electrolytes (33:14), hydrating while fasting (37:22), and carbs and fueling (42:05).
