Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am replacing enough electrolytes?

Monitor your urine color and frequency; if you are not urinating every 3-4 hours or if your urine is dark, you are likely dehydrated and under-replenishing salts.

Does high-intensity exercise help with heat tolerance?

While heat acclimation training is beneficial, avoid high-intensity workouts immediately before a shift to prevent pre-shift core temperature elevation and premature fatigue.
