Water is more than something you drink—it is central to how your body functions, how you feel, and how you connect with the world around you. Dr. Kelli speaks with Isabel Friend, who has spent 17 years studying water, about the relationship between hydration, light, movement, and health.

Together, they explore why hydration involves more than drinking enough water, how light and movement support the body’s internal water systems, and why fascia, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid matter to the conversation. Isabel also shares lifestyle practices she believes can support hydration, including spending time in natural light, moving regularly, and paying attention to the water we drink.

The conversation widens from the water within us to the water around us: Isabel discusses water advocacy, protecting local watersheds, and the importance of treating clean water as a shared resource.

If you’re curious about the connections between water, light, mental wellness, and the natural world, this episode offers a wide-ranging conversation.
