So if you're going to use them, I strongly encourage choosing a brand like Momentus, which in my opinion, has the highest safety and quality standards in the world.

Today's episode is also brought to you by Element.

Element is an electrolyte drink mix that has an ideal ratio of sodium, potassium, and magnesium, but has no sugar.

Electrolytes are critical to proper hydration, which I've been harping on for years, but you can't do that by only drinking water.

In fact, many of you will probably remember that I featured Element in my YouTube series on optimizing hydration all the way back in 2020.

which is obviously long before this podcast even existed.

So I've been a fan of Element for a long time.

In fact, astute listeners will also realize these hydration videos were the genesis of the Galpin hydration equation, named not by me, but by the legendary neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman.

I've featured Element in these videos because their blend of 1000mg of sodium, 200mg potassium, and 60mg magnesium really is different than any other electrolyte on the market and has great scientific support.

However, I want to be ultra clear, 1000mg of sodium is a lot, and not everyone needs that much.

In fact, that may be way too much if you don't exercise or sweat much.

already eat a lot of salt in your diet, say from a lot of processed foods, or otherwise have sodium-related medical concerns.

I personally use the citrus and watermelon flavors a ton to pre-hydrate before heading out on a full day of training or a long hike or a hunt, since I know I'll be losing a bunch of fluids and won't have many opportunities to take things with me.

Element has also just released a new line of canned sparkling Element.

which I am all about.
