We sit down with Chris Harris from Precision Fuel & Hydration to talk about hydration and sodium needs for athletes before, during, and after exercise. We reference the recent review paper by Dr. McCubbin (linked below) as our discussion guide. This conversation will help you think more clearly about your own hydration strategy and why testing and context matter far more than blanket rules.
