Hydration by Design: Drink the Right Amount at the Right Time
Learn to calculate your personal daily water intake using science-backed formulas, then build a practical hour-by-hour hydration schedule that fits your real life — no guesswork, no forgotten bottles.


What you'll learn
What you'll be able to do
- Calculate your personal daily water intake baseline using the body weight × 35 ml formula and understand why one-size-fits-all targets fail
- Adjust your baseline intake for key variables including activity level, climate, body composition, and diet
- Understand the physiology of hydration windows — why timing your intake matters as much as quantity
- Divide your total daily intake into specific timed portions mapped to morning, mid-morning, lunchtime, afternoon, pre/post exercise, and evening
- Build a personalised hour-by-hour hydration schedule you can follow consistently on any given day
- Identify early signs of under- and over-hydration and know how to adjust your plan in real time
- Use simple tracking tools (paper, app, or habit stacking) to stay on plan without obsessive monitoring
- Adapt your hydration schedule for variable days such as rest days, travel days, or high-intensity training days

Your Personal Hydration Baseline
Ditch the '8 glasses a day' myth. In this foundational module, learners use the body weight × 35 ml formula to calculate their own science-backed daily water target, understand why generic advice fails, and leave with a precise, personalised baseline number they'll build the rest of the course around.
- 1.11 – Why Generic Hydration Advice Fails YouIncluded
- 1.22 – The Weight × 35 ml Formula: Calculating Your BaselineIncluded
- 1.33 – What Your Baseline Covers (and What It Doesn't)Coming soon
Adjusting for the Real You
Your baseline is just the starting point. This module teaches learners to layer in the key variables — exercise, climate, diet, body composition, and caffeine/alcohol intake — to arrive at a true personalised daily target that reflects their actual life.
- 2.11 – The Exercise Multiplier: Sweat Loss and ReplacementComing soon
- 2.22 – Climate, Environment, and Hidden DehydratorsComing soon
- 2.33 – Food, Electrolytes, and When Water Alone Isn't EnoughComing soon
The Science of Hydration Timing
Quantity alone is not enough. This module unpacks the physiology of hydration windows — how your body processes water at different rates, why flooding and fasting both backfire, and how key daily events (waking, eating, exercising) create natural hydration anchors.
- 3.11 – How the Body Processes Water: Absorption Rate and Kidney LimitsComing soon
- 3.22 – Hydration Windows: Natural Anchors in Your DayComing soon
- 3.33 – The Thirst Signal Problem: Why You Can't Just 'Listen to Your Body'Coming soon
Building Your Hour-by-Hour Hydration Schedule
This is the core practical module where everything comes together. Using their personalised daily target from Module 2 and timing principles from Module 3, learners construct a specific, time-stamped hydration schedule mapped to their real daily routine.
- 4.11 – Dividing Your Total: Portion Sizing Across the DayComing soon
- 4.22 – Mapping Portions to Your Real-Life TimelineComing soon
- 4.33 – The Morning and Evening Windows: Getting the Anchors RightComing soon
- 4.44 – Exercise Windows: Pre, During, and Post Hydration ProtocolsComing soon
Listening to Your Body — Signs, Signals, and Real-Time Adjustments
A schedule is a plan, not a law. This module teaches learners to read their body's hydration feedback signals accurately, distinguish under-hydration from over-hydration, and make confident real-time adjustments without abandoning their plan.
- 5.11 – The Urine Colour Scale and Other Early Warning SignalsComing soon
- 5.22 – Over-Hydration: When More Is Not BetterComing soon
- 5.33 – Dynamic Adjustment: Fixing Your Day When It Goes Off PlanComing soon
Staying On Plan — Tracking, Habit Stacking, and Variable Day Protocols
The final module converts a personalised schedule into a sustainable long-term habit. Learners choose the right tracking tool for their personality, use habit stacking to automate their schedule, and build adapted versions of their plan for rest days, travel days, and high-intensity training days.
- 6.11 – Choosing Your Tracking System: Paper, App, or Habit StackingComing soon
- 6.22 – Habit Stacking Your Hydration ScheduleComing soon
- 6.33 – Variable Day Protocols: Rest Days, Travel Days, and High-Intensity Training DaysComing soon
- 6.44 – Your 30-Day Hydration by Design Commitment PlanComing soon

Alan Carville
Hi, I'm [Your Name]. I've spent years exploring the gap between what health science tells us and what people actually do day-to-day — and hydration is one of the starkest examples of that gap. The formula for calculating your baseline intake has existed for decades, but almost no one is taught how to use it in a structured, practical way. I created this course because I wanted to bridge that gap: to take a simple calculation and turn it into a system you can follow without thinking twice. I'm not here to sell you supplements or tell you to drink a gallon of water before breakfast. I'm here to help you work out exactly what your body needs, and exactly when it needs it — down to the hour. I hope you find it as genuinely useful as I intended it to be.
