Understanding how your body responds to environmental heat and thermal strain.
Heat
Building individualized fluid and electrolyte strategies around your needs and environment.
Hydration
Using sweat rate and composition to better understand your individual fluid and electrolyte losses.
Sweat
Applying evidence-based cooling strategies before, during, and after exercise when appropriate.
Cooling
Turning physiology and data into practical strategies for performing your best in the heat.
Performance
Heat is personal.
Two athletes can train side by side in the same conditions and respond very differently. Sweat rate, electrolyte losses, heat acclimatization status, fitness, environment, clothing, and exercise intensity can all influence how your body handles the heat.
That’s why Saltwork Science starts with the individual, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
I’m an exercise and thermal physiologist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with more than a decade of experience studying and applying research on heat, hydration, sweat, and human performance. My work bridges the gap between research and the real world, turning complex physiology and individual data into practical strategies for athletes and organizations performing in the heat.
