I’m not anti-electrolytes 🙈
I’m anti turning every basic human function into a supplement subscription!
The other day I was speaking to a lymphatic drainage therapist from the Cayman Islands and they said something that stuck with me:
“When we have hot weather, we don’t all drink those electrolyte sachets. We make a tonic water.”
Fresh lime and Lemon. Mint. Herbs. Water. Sometimes a little salt depending on the heat.
So I made my own with Moroccan mint, rosemary and lime and honestly, it felt like the most beautiful, simple hydration ritual.
Side note: electrolyte sachets can absolutely have a place. If you’re sweating heavily, training hard, sitting in the sauna, travelling in hot weather, recovering from fluid loss or eating very low carb, sodium-based electrolytes can be useful.
BUT if you’re drinking them every morning because the internet told you plain water “isn’t hydrating enough”… we need to have a word
Most women I see don’t need more expensive sachet. They need to drink enough water, eat mineral-rich foods, support digestion, stop skipping meals, and stop relying on wellness trends to do the basics for them
Honestly I’m sick of these wellness trends and hypes that have women are thinking they need to follow when really it should always be food first approach. And let’s be real - you can’t supplement your way out of an ultra-processed food diet or under eating.
