In this episode, we explore a new perspective on the often-overlooked importance of proper hydration. Going beyond the usual advice of drinking water, we delve into how consistent hydration supports the body's physiology, enhances healing in a biopsychosocial context, and helps maintain a sense of safety for the brain (aka brain retraining). The episode also provides practical tips and mindbody techniques to incorporate hydration into daily routines as a form of self-care and symptom management.
