If you are a man carrying the weight of your responsibilities — your family, your work, your relationships — you will always be the most vulnerable person in the room.
Always.
When you don't feel good in your body, it shows. You lose presence. You lose patience. You lose the grounded clarity that the people around you need from you.
You've started staying up late. You find yourself reaching for the easiest thing to eat during the day because there's just too much going on. Sometimes, you make it to the end of the day and realize you haven't even had a sip of water.
You've tried programs and challenges to get your body back to where it was when you felt like you were in momentum.
But the programs burn out quickly, the challenges fail to stick long-term, and before you know it, you're right back where you started.
And each time you fail is like a downward spiral taking you further away from the momentum you need.
I discovered a while ago in my own life that I was chronically dehydrated. I was suffering from a host of physiological and psychological symptoms from not drinking enough water.
I had inflammation in my body. I had digestive issues. I was taking "the purple pill" to deal with a lot of the things that were happening in my digestion.
I did not feel great about myself and I did not feel great in my body.
I started doing a ton of research on the symptoms I was experiencing. What I found shocked me. The symptoms I was having were the same symptoms as dehydration.
I even compared the symptoms treated by the top 20 prescription drugs in the United States, and they are identical to the symptoms someone experiences when they are chronically dehydrated. Dehydration causes digestive issues, inflammation, chronic pain, confusion, frustration, anxiety, depression, and numerous psychological issues.
It was horrible.
But I'm one of those people willing to go down a rabbit hole that does not seem to have an end. In my spare time, I was reading books about water. I was reading articles about water. I started learning that the instinct of the human body to drink water is a really subtle instinct.
Our bodies will tell us, "Hey, you're thirsty." And if you do not drink, your body does not keep screaming for water because you can survive without it for a time.
I started recognizing and realizing that there had to be a way to wake up our natural thirst instinct, overcome the symptoms of chronic dehydration, and get into momentum.
That is why I created the Natural Thirst Practice.

This is not a drinking contest. It is also not a water fast. It is a complete reprogramming of your relationship with water.
Right now, your thirst instinct is a whisper. The 10-Day Natural Thirst Practice is designed to turn it into a shout.
Your body has the power to tell you when it needs water to operate optimally, but only when it knows that there is an abundance of resources around you.
Reclaim your body's Natural Thirst Instinct with three simple adjustments to the beverages you consume.

If you feel like you need coffee to get through the day, it is a signal that your body is chronically dehydrated. When your body is properly hydrated, you will have natural energy throughout the day without the need for stimulants.
The Natural Thirst Practice is designed to help you reclaim the energy your body is capable of producing on its own. Give it 10 days. You may be surprised at how much energy you have when you are fully hydrated.
If you don't like the taste of water, it could be a symptom of what is known as "Bliss Point" disruption. Artificial sweeteners and added salts in beverages can desensitize your taste receptors.
When you commit to drinking only water for 10 days, your taste buds begin to reset. By the end of the practice, water will taste better than it ever has.
If drinking water makes you feel nauseous, it could signal excess stomach acid from chronic dehydration. Your body may react to water on an empty or acidic stomach.
The solution is to hyperhydrate in smaller quantities, more frequently. Start with small sips throughout the day and gradually increase your intake. Your body will adjust.
A couple of glasses of water per day is likely far less than your body needs to operate optimally. The Natural Thirst Practice is designed to show you what happens when you give your body an abundance of water.
Challenge yourself further. The more hydrated you are, the more present and effective you will be.
This is not a water drinking contest. There is no set number of ounces or cups. The practice is about reprogramming your relationship with water so that your body tells you when it needs hydration.
Drink as much water as your body needs. When you practice consistently, your natural thirst instinct will guide you. You will likely be drinking more water than you currently consume.
While coffee and tea contain water, your liver and kidneys must work to filter out the additives — caffeine, tannins, and other compounds. This creates additional work for your body instead of allowing it to use that water for healing and detoxification.
Pure water allows your body to focus on utilizing the abundant resources you are providing. There is a significant difference between water that must be filtered and water that can be used immediately.
Yes, only water. You can still eat food — this is not a fast. The practice is specifically about eliminating all other beverages.
The only exceptions are meal-replacement protein shakes or bone broth if they are part of your regular nutrition.
