Health isn’t complicated, but water sure feels like it these days. Dr. Wall and Dr. Jennifer Bush unpack why hydration is foundational for energy, brain function, joint health, and digestion, then cut through the noise on tap, filtered, spring, alkaline, distilled, and hydrogen water. Dr. Bush shares how upgrading her family’s water made a dramatic difference for her medically complex son, and Kevin lays out a simple, budget-aware ladder from “dirtiest to cleanest” so you can choose wisely at home.
They cover:
- Why most people are more dehydrated than they think (and how your body “prioritizes” water)
- Hydration & performance: joints, discs, ligaments, and cerebrospinal fluid
- Fluids ≠ water, Gatorade, diet soda, and caffeine as diuretics
- Electrolytes & salts: when a pinch helps—and what kind of salt to use
- Tap, fridge filters, RO, alkaline, spring, distilled, hydrogen—what’s actually worth it
- Whole-home filtration: showers, laundry, and skin exposure
- A simple ranking: Purified → Spring/Alkaline → Distilled (+electrolytes) → Hydrogen
