hydrate & recharge

sometimes I love a little yum in my water, and…

I am loving this foundational wellbeing mini-series with you.

Spring is a beautiful time to reset our foundation. We’ve spent some time focused on vitality and body love. Today, we drop-in with another layer of our wellbeing—hydration.

I appreciate a good electrolyte and I mix it up between two my favourite brands—dōTERRA Recharge & LMNT—for various reasons.

I use electrolytes for a hydration boost to replace electrolytes lost through sweat, workouts, sauna, heat, fasting, and when I often feel dehydrated. And when I’m just tired. I love the ease of single-serving packets to pop in my bag for on-the-go.

Let’s break it down.

MetaPWR® Recharge

Allow me to introduce you to dōTERRA’s Electrolytes “Recharge” available in Lemon-Lime & Wild Strawberry.

Here are some of the reasons why I love this formulation:

  • optimal 3:1 ratio of potassium to sodium for cardiovascular health

  • 4 types of Magnesium for deeper sleep, improved poops, insulin regulation—Magnesium Sulphate, Magnesium L-Threonate, Magnesium Citrate, and Magnesium Chloride

  • Over 75 Deep Ocean Minerals & Baobab extract to up-regulate cell water transport

  • improved cellular hydration, improved sleep, digestion, cardiovascular health & skin nourishment

  • facilitates water transport between cells through liquid liposomal delivery: the micro-encapsulation ensures optimal absorption (this is so key!)

  • free from GMOs, gluten, dairy, preservatives, and artificial ingredients

I pop a sachet in a large bottle of water for a workout/sauna or on hot day. I also use in the winter when I’m having a hard time drinking lots of water — the flavour helps!

If you’re in Canada, you can SHOP HERE with me. Or, if you’re in the USA, you can add this product to your cart HERE.

This chart showcases the benefits, and how it stands up next to other products on the market. The dōTERRA Recharge stands apart.

If you’ve been in my field a while, you also know the electrolyte LMNT is in my rotation.

LMNT is a delicious electrolyte drink, no sugars added. It’s another way I receive my daily minerals and natural salts and stay hydrated. One sachet in a bottle of water, or I split the sachet between two large glasses of water through the day. It boosts my sodium, potassium and magnesium and is delicious.

I love before bed when I’m having a craving for a little something. Order with my affiliate link (below) and receive a free Sample Pack. My faves are Grapefruit, Citrus Salt, Unflavoured. Equally easeful for on-the-go. TRY IT HERE.

Sometimes as a mom I just feel depleted. Often times, adding electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) to a big jar or bottle of water inspires me to drink more water and it gives me the lift I need, especially on the go with the girls. And sometimes I just love a little yum boost in my water to encourage me to keep drinking water.

Up next is the final piece of this 4-part mini-series.
