Yeah

... hyponatremia is.

That can be caused by too little sodium intake.

That can still happen, of course.

Yes, I'm taking sodium, but if you're then over-drinking or consuming much more fluid relative to the sodium, then that's, that's what could lead to the hyponatremia that he's maybe experienced there.

You know, over longer races, and we can probably lean back, you know, and think back to Cocodona as a good example here, and if I can talk specifically about Lindsay, because I was on the ground there.

We had a plan A for fluid intake relative to sodium.

Uh, another question from a Patreon, Graham Eckford, "Sh- how should I choose between having my carbs and electrolytes as separate entities, either solids, gels, capsules, versus a combined drink mix? When is it beneficial to separate fueling from hydration?"

So I'm very interested in learning about just your journey and your background and how you came about creating this amazing product.

Yeah, I, it...

You know, if, if I look back, this was not my career and, uh, I, I was given a lot of opportunities.

I was put in positions where, uh, I was able to gain a lot of knowledge in a number of different fields from, um, environmental fields to, um, military weapon development, um, to artificial blood, uh, oil and gas, how to extract, uh, methane hydrate, try to explain the Bermuda Triangle.

All of these things I had an uncanny, uh, ability to at least associate with people that needed answers or solutions to those problems.

Wow.

And, um, so we could do pretty in-depth research through that database, and the key was just being able to ask the right questions.

So in this case, I turned to nature, and that came out of my environmental background because they do things so efficiently with a- without any psychological effects.
