    Benefits of Hydration and Strategies to Stay Hydrated
    Feb 3 2025
    In this episode of The Integrative Edge, we explore the critical role hydration plays in overall health and dive into smarter strategies to optimize your hydration for better energy, wellness, and performance.
    • Lindsay provides an overview of the compartments of fluid in our body and explains why staying hydrated is essential for:
      • Supporting bodily functions like temperature regulation, joint lubrication, and nutrient transport.
      • Maintaining overall health and wellness through proper fluid balance.
    • Kym shifts the focus from simply drinking water to drinking water “smarter,” sharing tips for optimizing hydration:
      • Electrolytes Matter: Replenish key electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to support fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions.
      • The Role of Trace Minerals: These essential nutrients aid in cellular hydration, enzyme activity, and neurological health.
      • Hydration Hacks: Replace 50% of your daily water intake with electrolyte-rich options:
        • DIY solutions (mineral salt + citrus fruits squeezed in filtered water).
        • Natural products like LMNT or Redmond’s Re-Lyte (avoiding sugary alternatives).
        • Include trace mineral drops for additional benefits.
      • Molecular Hydrogen (H₂): A powerful antioxidant that enhances cellular function, reduces oxidative stress, and supports better water absorption and mitochondrial efficiency.
    Hydration is more than just drinking water—it’s about ensuring your body has the right balance of fluids, electrolytes, and minerals for optimal function. This episode provides practical strategies to help you stay hydrated while boosting your energy, reducing cramping, and improving overall wellness.Additional Resources & LinksElectrolytes & Minerals SummaryElectrolytes:

    The Importance of Lymphatic Health
    Jan 27 2025
    In this episode of The Integrative Edge, we explore the vital role of the lymphatic system in overall health and well-being, and share practical tips for supporting and maintaining a healthy lymphatic flow.
    • Lindsay breaks down the anatomy and function of the lymphatic system, highlighting:
      • The critical role it plays in immune support and detoxification.
      • What happens when the lymphatic system becomes stagnant.
      • The impact of poor lymphatic health on overall wellness.
    • Kym shares actionable ways to incorporate lymphatic health support into your daily routine:
      • Hydration: Drink clean, filtered water to keep lymph fluid moving.
      • Movement: Try rebounding (mini trampoline), lymph plates, bouncing on a medicine ball, walking, or yoga to stimulate lymphatic flow.
      • Manual Stimulation: Incorporate practices like dry brushing, lymphatic massage, or the “Big 6” lymphatic drainage points to encourage drainage.
      • Detox Support: Use tools such as saunas, contrast hot/cold therapies, and castor oil packs to aid detoxification.
      • Reducing Toxin Exposure: Minimize inflammation and avoid environmental toxins to keep your lymphatic system functioning optimally.
    Your lymphatic system plays a crucial role in detoxifying the body and supporting your immune system. Keeping it healthy can help you reduce inflammation, boost energy, and prevent illness. This episode offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and caring for this often-overlooked system.
