#10: Saunas aren’t just for relaxation. They’re a powerful tool for hydration.

According to Dr. Gerald Pollack, author of The Fourth Phase of Water, heat stimulates your body’s production of EZ (Exclusion Zone) water, a special, structured form of water found inside your cells. It’s this water that supports energy production, detoxification, and true cellular hydration.

Add in sweating, circulation, and the deep reset of heat, and you’ve got more than a wellness trend.You’ve got flow.

And that’s the heart of real hydration.

Because here’s the truth: You’re not dehydrated because you don’t drink enough water. You’re dehydrated because your cells aren’t absorbing it.

In a world obsessed with hydration metrics, most of us are still walking around foggy, dry, tired, and inflamed. We've been sold the idea that eight glasses of plain water is the answer.

But hydration isn’t just about quantity. It’s about quality, rhythm, minerals, movement, light and restoring the relationship between your body and the water it’s made of.

You’re not just made of water.
You are water.
By mass: 70%.
By molecule: 99%.

Why do we treat hydration like a chore instead of a rhythm of flow?

Over the past decade, I’ve studied this question. Water science, wellness, environmental impacts, and ancient traditions. I've tested filters, visited springs, interviewed experts, and spent a year on what became my own personal “water retreat.”

You’ve asked me the same questions again and again:

  • What’s the best water to drink?

  • Should I drink alkaline water?

  • Is my filter good enough?

  • What’s a “Blue Mind Life”?

  • Can I go on a Water Retreat with you?

It’s a lot. That’s why I’ve distilled everything I’ve learned into one place:
The Hydration Playbook. An Introduction to the Water Method to Wellness.

Here is what’s in it.

  1. Source. How to choose water wisely. Know where your water comes from..

  2. Filter. Filter what doesn’t belong. From your water and your life. The best filtration options for your space.

  3. Elevate it with minerals, movement, and mindfulness.

  4. Appreciate. Be creative and curious. Splash, play and have fun. Water is a source of inspiration. Not just a resource to be exploited.

This isn’t about trends. It is about remembering. It’s about restoring flow in your body, your mind, and your life.

Stay tuned.
The Hydration Playbook is coming soon.
