Hydration: how it helps with weight loss

Water, fizzy drinks, wine, juice. When it comes to drinks, there’s so much choice out there and it can be overwhelming. That’s why we wanted to dedicate a whole episode to hydration and why it’s a more important factor in our weight loss journey than we might think. This week, our host Helen will sit down with Dr Sam as always and Dr David Gwynne from Boots Online Doctor to talk all things hydration. They’ll deep dive into how staying hydrated helps with weight loss, and what to consider when drinking (spoiler alert: not all drinks are created equal). Plus, get tips and advice on increasing your water intake. Dr Sam is Lead GP for Lifestyle Medicine at Boots Online Doctor, as well as a coach and mentor, author, and nutritional and yoga therapist. Dr David is a GP and Deputy Chief Medical Officer at Boots Online Doctor.
