EP. 253: I wasn’t planning to record this episode, but after what happened with my mom recently, I had to. She went through a bout of severe dehydration, and it escalated fast. It made me realize how many people don’t actually know what dehydration looks like until it’s dangerous, nor what to do about it. In this episode, I walk you through the real signs, from mild symptoms most people ignore to severe, life-threatening ones like confusion, rapid heart rate, and not urinating. I also share what we did in real time to stabilize her, including the WHO rehydration formula, and why electrolytes matter more than just water. I also get into when it’s time to go to the ER, how to buy yourself time in an emergency, and simple things you can keep on hand, like salt, that can make a real difference.

This is one of those episodes that could genuinely save a life.
