Yesterday my mom was looking at me watching one of your youtube podcasts and she went like: "this andrew guy feels like a part of our family now given the fact that you listen so much to him and advocate for all the behavioral tools he suggests to be incorporated in our family". Here in Pakistan I really wish more people had known about your work and I literally try my best to spread around the word about your podcast to all my friends since in my country not that many people are so educated about the importance of physical health and mental wellbeing. Thankyou Andrew for being a part of my family ❤️

Im a water treatment plant operator, and a helpful tip for the low cost option is to shake the water a bit, as many of these are whats called volatiles, which "go away" when exposed to oxygen. This can actually help with the chlorine taste in water as well. On the topic of hard water and showers, taking showers with hard water can actually make your skin feel "tight" after a shower, which is actually just your skin being dry believe it or not, and this affects your hair, this can be why women won't wash their hair more than say twice a week sometimes. Just thought this was helpful information from my field of work.

May this binge never end. I've been battling with a lot of issues recently, mostly related to prolonged drug use. You're helping me climb out of the hole I've been in for over a decade, thanks so much. YouTube is a wonderful place and your content is amongst the most valuable out there, thanks again and again

Notes I made for my learning from this episode:
Dehydration can have a negative impact physically and mentally, even only slightly.
How to measure dehydration: fingernail and skin pinch test. Assess urine.
Baseline hydration: similar across bodyweight. In normal environments for every hour you are awake in first 10 hours of your day, consume 240ml of water (can size) an hour. Or 2.3l of fluid.
Fluid requirements different during day and night. Kidney more efficient at filtering during the day.
Normal to wake up once or twice to urinate. To reduce: hydrate enough during the day to avoid evening thirst. 10 hours after wake may only need 150 ml. Drink slowly. The rate of fluid intake impacts things, so consume water slowly.
When exercising: need additional fluid to baseline. Galpin equation: average weight (pounds)/30 equals number of fluid in ounces on average to consume every 15 minutes. 2ml water per kg bodyweight per 15-20 minute on average. For me approx 120 ml. So in two hour session around 750ml.
If exercising intensely/hot conditions or sweating double the above equation. Double fluid intake.
Feeling dehydrated: ingest more fluid.
Thirst is decent guide but not perfect.
Try avoid fluid with caffeine. If intense exercise have electrolytes with fluid.
Hydration can enhance focus and reduce brain fog. Brain needs to stop working as hard when it knows there is enough hydration.
Tap water:
Hard water has magnesium and calcium. This increases pH and isn't bad.
DBP's may be too high.
Ask for water analysis of your own tap water. Look for high, moderate or low levels of fluoride.
Fluoride can affect thyroid hormones negatively, even in 0.5mg/l.
Use water filter that removes fluoride. Second best option is to leave water out at room temperature for most of the day, then take the top 2/3 to drink.
Magnesium 8.4-19.3, i.e. hard water has enough high pH and can be good for you. If lower than that may not have the same health benefits.
Boiling water does not decontaminate it enough and may worsen some chemicals.
Temperature of water if colder it is slower to absorb. If it is very cold it can alter digestion. Don't worry about it, have it what you desire, e.g. on a hot day cold water can be desired.
Different forms of water. Distilled water has magnesium and calcium removed. No need to drink distilled water.
Reverse osmosis. Can be good but expensive and no evidence is better than filtered water.
Hydrogen enriched water. Not necessary if enough magnesium. If magnesium too low, more hydrogen can make nicer to drink and absorb better. Make by adding hydrogen magnesium tablets. Only once or twice a day. Not needed in hot or carbonated water.
To determine water quality the pipes and filters are important. Look at the filter mesh on your tap.

Love your podcast. You're an amazing guy. I'm a 37-year-old CHF patient with an LVAD and in need of a heart transplant. Your podcast gives so much detail and has really helped me to understand the function of my body and heart beyond what a medical doctor would ever have time to explain. This podcast has changed how I do so much in my life. You're literally saving my life every day.

A huge thank you to you, sir. My kids have a huge exposure to science in my home (mostly musculoskeletal anatomy & biology) but it was finding you that inspired my son, a 16 yr old junior IB diploma student, to want to pursue neuroscience for optimal health in young athletes. He mentioned applying to a specific college for the first time the other day - it was Stanford, so he could study under you. I appreciate your mission and the joy it brings. 🧬

I lived in Flint, Michigan during the water crisis - when lead was leaching into the drinking water from municipal lines so this topic is very near and dear to my heart. My family and pets were negatively affected. I was part of a research team with the University of Michigan that looked into how much lead was leached from the pipes, and we also looked at microbial communities associated with the different types of water service lines. Municipal water leaves much to be desired.

I’m an undergrad studying environmental engineering, one thing to note about disinfection byproducts is that they should decay at a pretty fast rate depending on where you are relative to the water treatment facility. Like mentioned if you leave your water stagnant, even sitting in a pitcher for a day or two a great amount of them should decay out even without having to pour off the top. However, if it is about to rain most treatment facilities will ramp up their addition of disinfectants depending on the plant’s source, so it is a good idea if you’re trying to avoid DBP to not draw water for a half a day during that rain or snow event. Another variable is where your house is in comparison to the treatment plant called “water age” that would be interesting to look into if you all have time.

Please note that there is some confusion: I stated covalent bonds for the bonds between Hydrogens & Oxygen of a single H2O, not the bonds between water molecules which, as many people pointed out are hydrogen bonds. I will post a clip to social media and elsewhere to further clarify.
