Sweat Science: The Truth About Electrolytes and Hydration for Triathletes

Sweat Science: The Truth About Electrolytes and Hydration for Triathletes

Think you’re nailing hydration because you’ve got a pastel-coloured electrolyte drink in hand? Think again.

In this episode, I bust through the marketing fluff and break down exactly when, why and how triathletes should use electrolytes. Forget what TikTok says, here’s the science-backed truth from an endurance sports dietitian.

🔍 Here’s what we cover:

  • Why electrolyte hype has gone wild

  • When you actually need electrolytes

  • The big player in sweat losses: sodium

  • How your sweat rate and sodium loss are unique

  • Real athlete story: The Human Sprinkler

  • What is hyponatremia and why it’s dangerous

  • Food vs electrolyte drinks: when water is enough

  • How to choose the right product for you

  • What to avoid: fairy dust and false promises

  • The real strategy behind smart hydration

Whether you’re a salty sweater, a light sipper, or somewhere in between — this episode will help you stop guessing and start fuelling your hydration properly.
