Rewrite Rising is the podcast where you can rewrite your health journey and rise above your past. I’m Dru Forbes, a writer and nutrition coach who believes health should feel possible, not punishing. Each week, you’ll get Mindset Mondays to ground your start, and Thriving Thursdays to cut through the noise with evidence-based nutrition and lived experience. We unpack the misinformation you’ve been fed about health, from diet culture and calorie myths to industry-funded “science”, and explore how real change happens through compassion, consistency, and sustainable habits. Not perfectly. Not prescriptively. But with care, clarity, and truth.

    Hydration Matters

    We’ve all heard it: “Drink eight cups of water a day.” But where did that rule come from — and does it even make sense for your body? In this episode of Rewrite Rising, health coach Dru unpacks the truth about hydration. Learn how much water your body actually needs, which foods and drinks count toward hydration, and why your body’s cues are smarter than any one-size-fits-all rule. This isn’t about hitting a perfect number. It’s about listening, nourishing, and reconnecting to what your body already knows.
