Quotable moments:

"Hydration is definitely something that can extend endurance performance, allow you to perform at a higher level for longer." - Pratik Patel

"We want to make sure that we are increasing plasma volume. So when we start exercising and our heart rate goes up and our body temperature goes up, it doesn't happen really quickly." - Pratik Patel

"It's not just about drinking water, you know, water is good, but again, it's only a piece of the equation because you're sweating out more than water." - Pratik Patel
