Hydration Habit

If you feel tired, snacky, or foggy… it might not be food.

Hydration is one of the most overlooked habits in midlife, yet it plays a quiet role in nearly everything - energy, digestion, joint comfort, workout performance, and even appetite regulation. Many women move through their day fueled by coffee, diet sodas, or sheer momentum, only to feel depleted by afternoon.

As we age, thirst cues become less reliable, stress increases fluid needs, and even mild dehydration can show up as fatigue, headaches, cravings, or brain fog. When the body is under-hydrated, it often sends hunger signals instead - leading to unnecessary snacking and inconsistent energy.

A consistent hydration habit does three important things:

  • Supports steady energy and focus throughout the day

  • Improves digestion and nutrient absorption

  • Helps regulate appetite and reduce false hunger cues

Hydration is not about forcing gallons of water or tracking every sip.
It is about creating a simple, repeatable routine that supports your body before problems show up.

Inside the challenge, you’ll receive simple hydration guidance designed for real life, including:

  • Clear hydration targets (as ranges, not rules)

  • Guidance on electrolytes and flavor options

  • Habit ideas to make hydration easier and more consistent

This habit is meant to support your energy and overall health - not add another thing to manage.

These are optional tools I personally use and love to support hydration while adding nutritional value. You do not need these to be successful in the challenge.

  • Energy Fizz – supports hydration, clean energy, and focus; a great alternative to extra coffee

  • Mind Health – supports mental clarity and stress resilience, especially on busy or demanding days

  • Gut Health – supports digestion and nutrient absorption, helping hydration work more effectively

  • Green Synergy – adds micronutrients and phytonutrients while reinforcing daily hydration

  • Electrolytes – support fluid balance and absorption, especially with workouts, sweating, or travel
