You're Not Just Dehydrated—You’re Underfueled: The Metabolic Power of Water Weight | Ep. 22

Think “water weight” is just bloat? Think again.
 In this episode, we dive into one of the most overlooked—and misunderstood—markers of metabolic health: total body water (TBW). If you’re working hard to lose fat but feel puffy, tired, or stuck, your cells might not be hydrated enough to actually burn fat.

You’ll learn:

• Why TBW is a functional health marker, not just a hydration stat
• How to calculate your ideal water weight based on lean mass
• The surprising symptoms of low cellular hydration (even if you drink water daily)
• How to rebuild hydration from the inside out with minerals, food, and fats
• Why hunter-gatherers didn’t track ounces—and what we can learn from them

We’re not just talking about drinking more water. We’re talking about absorbing it, retaining it, and using it to unlock fat loss, hormonal balance, and metabolic flow.

If you’ve hit a plateau—or your body feels resistant despite doing “everything right”—this might be the breakthrough you didn’t know you needed.
