Biohacking Basics: You’re drinking Water wrong!

Welcome to More Good Days – everyday, accessible longevity – hosted by Dr. Michael Mol, Faf du Plessis, and Sean Lunn. Our mission is to give you simple, practical, science-backed tools to optimise energy, focus, and daily performance. The Truth About Hydration Hydration is the foundation of biohacking but widely misunderstood. Most people think it’s just “drinking more water,” or assume the body is “60% water.” In reality, your body is closer to 60% mineral-supported water, and minerals like sodium help move water into your cells. Without minerals, water passes through the body without properly hydrating you leaving you tired, unfocused, and dehydrated at a cellular level. In this episode, we explore: -How hydration affects mood, focus, energy & performance -Why dehydration happens even when you drink enough -Sean’s simple Morning Hydration Protocol (Sean’s Shooter) -Hydration timing for digestion, sleep & recovery -How elite athletes hydrate -Why mineral quality matters more than quantity Sean’s Shooter – Morning Hydration Protocol: Start within 15 minutes of waking: ¼–½ tsp mineral-rich salt (Oryx, Celtic, Himalayan) 300–500 ml filtered or remineralised water Squeeze of lemon (optional) 2 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional) 5 g creatine monohydrate (upgrade) Avoid: large amounts of water during meals; drinking heavily before bed. Benefits: clearer focus • calmer mood • steady energy • better cellular hydration Hydration Throughout the Day: Morning: Sean’s Shooter Daytime: Light sipping (don’t dilute stomach acid) Afternoon: Add salt if training/sweating Evening: Stop heavy intake 2–3 hrs before sleep ⏱️ Timecodes: 00:00 Introduction to Biohacking 01:35 Sean’s transformation journey 03:08 What is Biohacking? 04:30 Faf du Plessis on Biohacking and self-improvement 06:15 Dr Michael Mol 06:47 The importance of hydration 08:28 The difference between good and bad water 09:00 Salt’s role in hydration 09:39 Illustration of the differences between mineral, trace minerals and electrolytes 12:20 How much salt do you need daily? 13:20 How much water do you need daily? 14:12 Small tweaks to improve health 16:00 Sean’s Shooter 16:33 Understanding hydration 17:00 Difference between cold and warm drinking water 17:33 The benefits of lemon in your water 18:46 The benefits of apple cider vinegar 23:50 Choose the steps that work for you and add them to your life 24:14 The importance of creatine 25:30 Creatine in the body 26:05 How much creatine do you need daily? 27:00 Why does creatine need water? 27:40 How creatine helps your brain and sleep 28:25 Takeaways 29:15 Closing statements 29:40 How to make Sean’s Shooter Partner Links (Affiliates) Products we use and trust: Bare Aminos – creatine, electrolytes, and essential amino acids for muscle, energy and clean performance. 10% discount https://www.bareayr.co.za/discount/Mo...
