About this listen
Chronic headaches...brain fog...fatigue...weight gain...insomnia...gut pain...autoimmune conditions. We may think these and other all-too-common modern maladies are due to gluten intake or too much sugar or too little exercise. But there is another missing piece to the health puzzle: Proper hydration.
Yes, even in this era of Poland Spring many of us are dehydrated due to moisture lacking diets, artificial environments, medications, and over-dependence on water as our only source of hydration. For this reason, that new diet or exercise plan may fail because our body doesn't have enough moisture to support it.
Quench presents a wellness routine that can reverse all of that, based on breakthrough new science in the field of hydration. Listeners will be surprised to learn that drinking too much water can flush out vital nutrients and electrolytes. Here is where "gel water" comes in: the water from plants (like cucumber, berries, aloe), which our bodies are designed to truly absorb right down to the cellular level. In fact, Ms. Bria's work as an anthropologist led her to the realization that desert people stay hydrated almost exclusively from what they eat, including gel plants like cactus.
Based on groundbreaking science from the University of Washington's Pollack Water Lab and other research, Quench offers a five-day jump start plan: hydrating meal plans and the heart of the program, smoothies and elixirs using the most hydrating and nutrient-packed plants. Another unique feature of their approach is micro-movements - small, simple movements you can make a few times a day that will move water through your fascia, the connective tissue responsible for hydrating our bodies. You will experience more energy, focus, and better digestion within five days...then move onto the lifetime plan for continued improvements, even elimination of symptoms.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

"Water is a scientific mystery and a complex subject that most of us take for granted and don't really understand its profound healing potential. Enter Dr. Dana Cohen and Gina Bria! They have written a long overdue and extremely important book on the merits of optimal hydration. As a clinical cardiologist, I can attest that the section on fat and hydration is absolutely outstanding! Highly recommended, this book will help put you on the right track toward optimum health, hydration and recovery. A must read!" (Dr. Stephen Sinatra, cardiologist and coauthor of Health Revelations from Heaven)
"Quench is the first book I have ever read that makes the connection between true hydration and the function of the connective tissue network known as fascia. Moreover, Dr. Cohen and Bria's explanation of what fascia is and what it does is compelling and brilliant. Finally, a book about the importance of hydration--and how to actually do it. Hint: It's not about drinking more water." (Christiane Northrup, MD, The New York Times best-selling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause)
"Everyone knows that we must drink enough water. But Cohen and Bria, two authorities on hydration, tell us how we can obtain our water even more effectively from foods. I found their presentation refreshing and comprehensive - including a practical guide for achieving proper hydration in a painless (and delicious) way in your own kitchen. This book will set the standard for understanding the life-giving issue of keeping hydrated." (Gerald H. Pollack, PhD, professor at the University of Washington and author of The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor)

Did this need to be an entire book?
If you have any minimal knowledge of nutrition, functional medicine, biohacking, have ever listened to a health podcast or read a health blog... then you probably don’t need to read this book. This could have been condensed to a 1 hour podcast episode or a blog post.
This book was also extremely disorganized and topics were so randomly thrown together into paragraphs and chapters. Ideas were repeated over and over, others contradicted... and some straight up misinformed. PLEASE do not drink a glass or two of water immediately before eating as the books recommends; you’ll dilute your stomach acid and give yourself indigestion and reflux.
Let me summarize the book in a few sentences. Start the day with warm water with sea salt and lemon. Drink a smoothie. Eat whole foods, not processed junk. In the afternoon, add juice and chia seeds to your water. Oh, and move around once in a while, if you’re the type that sits 8 hours a day.
The overarching message of this book was clear: water-containing foods (vegetables, fruit) hydrate us better than water alone, and fibre slows the absorption of water and helps us retain it water. So, eat fresh produce and chia seeds, which the authors are obsessed with. Ok, but did you need to write an entire book about it?
