Ep.182: What you don’t need in your sports drink

 

In this episode, we unpack the evolution of sports drinks and explore what needs to be in them (and what doesn’t). We also review 4 popular sports drinks to give you real life examples and help you make more informed decisions about what you’re drinking and what you’re spending your money on.

Our discussion includes:

  • The origin story of Gatorade

  • How sports drinks have evolved (or devolved?) over time

  • What to look for and what to question on the label

  • Why more isn’t always better when it comes to certain ingredients

  • Product review of Powerade, Liquid IV, Body Armor, and Pedialyte Sport

We also share our DIY sports drink recipes in our Patreon Community for our Gold members.
