Gina Bria is an anthropologist, founder of the Hydration Foundation, and co-author of Quench. In this episode, Gina reveals why the conventional advice to drink eight glasses of water a day is only scratching the surface, how desert communities have thrived for centuries with limited liquid water, and why sunlight, movement, food, and sound may be the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for hydrating your cells, slowing premature aging, and living with far more energy, clarity, and resilience.
