Are You Drinking TOO Much Water? The Hidden Danger of Overhydration | EP 415.A
About this episode
Dr. Gundry discusses the dangers of overhydration and the myths surrounding daily water intake.
Water is essential for life—but could drinking more of it actually be working against you? In this episode, I’m tackling one of the biggest hydration myths out there: that everyone needs eight glasses of water a day. I’ll explain why your individual water needs may be very different, how drinking too much water can throw off your electrolyte balance, and why overhydration may even affect how efficiently your heart works. Plus, I’ll share the signs you may be overdoing it, what really counts toward your daily hydration, and a smarter way to think about water and electrolytes. Before you refill that giant water bottle again, you’ll want to hear this!
