“You’re a water being— All your tissues, all your organs, all your skin is a form of water that we weren't watching for. And therefore, hydration is one of the most extreme essential ingredients that we can possibly think of.” -Gina Bria

We have reached another major milestone in our journey! When we started this podcast, we wanted to provide a platform to help people see that they have a choice and that they don't have to settle for anything less than what their health and well-being deserve.

With your help, our dear listeners, this vision has become a reality. We are so grateful for your loving support and encouragement. We look forward to continuing this journey with you with more amazing episodes and guests coming soon. Again, we thank you so, so much for being a part of the Essential Ingredients mission!

And what a better way to kick off this special episode that to talk about one of the most essential ingredient for life — water. No other substance on Earth can support life as we know it like water can. Not only does water make up the majority of our bodies, but it’s also necessary for just about every function our bodies perform.

Think about it – we need water to digest food, transport nutrients and oxygen to our cells, lubricate our joints, regulate our body temperature… the list goes on and on. But water isn’t just essential for our bodies – it’s also vital for the planet. Every living thing needs water to survive, and our planet is no different. Water is a key part of the Earth’s natural systems and cycles. Without water, life, including ours, would be impossible.

Since our body is made up of mostly water, it’s therefore important to keep it hydrated. But this doesn’t mean that drinking water is the best way to do it. In fact, there are other ways that are more effective.

This special episode will help us to see water in a way that most of us usually don’t think of. Our very first guest, Gina Bria, the founder of Hydration Foundation, joins us again to share how we can take in water in a more hydrating way!

Tune in as Justine and Gina share how getting hydrated from plain water differs than getting hydrated from plants. They discuss factors that affect our level of hydration: nutrition, sun exposure, and mobility (talk about how doing a little wiggly dance can dramatically change your day)! Gina also leaves us with a way to activate the electric properties of water to make it more hydrating.
