The Dehydration + Weight Connection (That Might Surprise You)
It’s something we hear often:
“I’ve been eating clean, working out, even cutting back on sugar, but the scale isn’t moving.”
Before you assume you’re doing something wrong, consider this:
Your body might be dehydrated.
When hydration is low, the body sees it as a stress signal. It slows metabolism, increases inflammation, and even makes fat cells more resistant to releasing energy. Your body is trying to protect you, but it can make weight loss feel nearly impossible.
Here are a few tips we share often:
✔️ Aim for 65% of your body weight in ounces of water per day (150 lbs = ~98 oz)
✔️ Add minerals or electrolytes to support absorption
✔️ Front-load your day with water—drink 16–20 oz before anything else
And if you’re feeling behind on hydration?
We offer IV hydration in clinic to help you replenish quickly and support your metabolism from the inside out.
Your body needs more than willpower—it needs the right inputs. Sometimes, the missing piece is simpler than we think.
