You’re drinking your water, doing “all the right things,” but you still feel tired, your skin looks dull, and hydration just isn’t hitting like it should.
Sound familiar? Let’s talk about where you might be going wrong, because hydration isn’t just about how much water we drink, but about the quality of that water too.
“Since prioritising the quality of my water I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin’s appearance.
I feel like I’m glowing every day, and have even quit wearing foundation all together. Only ever using healthy, natural water on my skin has been an absolute game-changer in my beauty routine, and for my health in general.”

Did you know?...
❌ Even mild dehydration can impair cognitive performance, mood, and energy levels.[1]
✅ Natural spring water contains essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are absorbed more efficiently in water form than from supplements.[2]
❌ A 2% drop in hydration can lead to short-term memory issues and trouble focusing on screens or reading.[3]
✅ Drinking mineral water rich in magnesium and bicarbonate has been shown to support cardiovascular health and lower blood pressure.[4]
❌ A 2017 study found over 90% of global tap water samples tested contained microplastics.[5]
✅ Hydration enhances physical performance - even a 2% fluid loss can reduce endurance, increase fatigue, and impair temperature control. [6]
❌ Pharmaceutical residues including antidepressants, antibiotics, and hormones have been detected in tap water supplies across multiple countries.[7]
It’s not just water, it’s your daily upgrade
Most of us don’t even think about the kind of water we drink. We fill our bottles, count our litres, and feel good about staying hydrated. We’ve ‘ticked the box’, or so we think.
But what if hydration isn’t just about how much you drink - but about what kind of water you drink?
Water isn’t just a neutral liquid. It’s a carrier... of life, of energy, of nourishment. It brings nutrients into your cells, flushes out toxins, keeps your digestion flowing, and literally fuels you on a cellular level.
And when that water is fresh from a spring; structured, full of natural minerals, and alive, it doesn’t just hydrate you. It lifts you.
I've even found that drinking spring water gives me a natural energy boost. I like to call it Nature's Original Energy Drink ❤️
“Spring water is nature’s original hydration - full of minerals, structured by the earth, and perfectly balanced for the human body.” - Daniel Vitalis, Host of WildFed and spring water advocate
You’re Basically a Walking Waterfall, So Make It Magical
Your body is more water than anything else. The brain, heart, muscles, skin, even your bones all contain water in different concentrations. And not just any water…
Your cells need water with the right structure, minerals, and electrical charge to function properly.
So when you’re drinking heavily filtered, treated, or demineralised water? It’s kind of like sending a dull signal to your cells. When what they really need is a clear connection.
“Your body is over 70% water. The quality of that water determines the quality of your health.” - Dr Zach Bush, Physician and Environmental Advocate
Spring water is what your body knows. It hasn’t been tampered with, it's loaded with minerals, and it flows in a natural rhythm that makes sense. It’s real hydration, at a level you can actually feel.
This is the kind of hydration our bodies recognise and thrive off 🫶
Why Spring Water Feels So Different
So why does spring water feel so different to what comes out of our taps?
Spring water rises from deep underground aquifers, where it’s been filtered through layers of earth and naturally enriched with minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and silica.
These are the exact minerals your body craves:
💖 Bone health (calcium, magnesium)
💖 Heart function & muscle movement (potassium, sodium)
💖 Brain function & hydration balance (magnesium, silica)
💖 Glowing skin & healthy connective tissue (silica) - you’ll have heard me talk about this one a lot!
Unlike water that’s been artificially alkalised in machines (which can mess with its structure), spring water has a natural pH that’s actually bioavailable (aka your body can absorb it properly).
“Water’s mineral composition determines how it interacts with our biology. Nature’s balance is always superior to artificial processing.” - Dr. Gerald Pollack
Spring water also exists in a beautiful “structured” state; a phase of water that behaves differently from plain liquid water. This is why it feels so refreshing, deep, and alive.
“Drinking living water, like spring water, supports not just hydration, but the subtle electrical and energetic systems of the body.” - Dr Gerald Pollack
Basically, spring water is the ultimate water... but what if you can’t access a spring where you live?
Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered 🫶
Want to revive your water? Try using a Re-Structuring Carafe (yes, the one you see me using all the time on Snap!
Another item I love using, especially when I'm heading to the beach or gym, is an Energy Bottle (shown above) made with sacred geometry, it just adds a beautiful touch of intention to my hydration.
High-Vibe Water = High-Vibe You
Viktor Schauberger (a pretty ahead-of-his-time naturalist) discovered that water’s movement affects its life force. When water flows in spiral vortexes, like a mountain stream, it picks up:
💖 Oxygen
💖 The Earth’s electromagnetic charge
💖 Subtle cosmic energy from its environment (this one’s for the woo-woo girls 😉✨)
Basically, spring water has a natural intelligence that industrial water just doesn’t.
“Whoever understands water, understands the Universe.” - Viktor Schauberger
Hydration That Hits on a Cellular Level
Hydration isn’t just about ticking a daily water goal, it’s about getting that water into your cells. And that only happens when your water is mineral-rich and structured.
This kind of water doesn’t just make you feel hydrated, it helps your body work. From energy and detox to cell repair and mitochondrial function (those tiny energy factories inside you), spring water makes it all run smoother.
“We often think of hydration as a checkbox, but true hydration means water that nourishes your cells; clean, mineral-rich, and alive.” - Dr Mindy Pelz, Holistic Health Educator and Author of Fast Like a Girl
On the flip side, super-clean but ultra-purified water such as Reverse Osmosis or Distilled Water can actually leave you feeling parched, tired, or a bit “off” - even if you’re drinking a ton of it.
“Your body’s internal communication, detoxification, and energy production all rely on water. The better the water, the better the function.” - Dr Mark Hyman, Functional Medicine Physician
Water = Your Nervous System’s Bestie
Your nervous system sends signals through the fluids in your body. So if your water isn’t up to standard, your focus, mood, sleep, and energy can take a real hit.
Even mild dehydration can bring on brain fog, headaches, low mood, or just that “meh” feeling.
And it’s not just sweat that dehydrates you, you can be dehydrated just from drinking the wrong kind of water every day!
“Mineral water from natural springs is one of the most foundational forms of medicine we have access to - and it’s free from the earth.” - Dr Barbara O’Neill, Naturopath and Health Educator
Why Tap Water Doesn’t Always Cut It
Tap water is designed to be ‘safe’, but that doesn’t mean that it’s optimal for our health. While it might not give you a tummy bug, most tap water still has microplastics, chemical residues, heavy metals, and traces of medications running through it.
Over time, that constant input of low-level toxins can quietly build up and create stress in your body.
“Clean water is not just the absence of disease-causing organisms. It’s the absence of things that cause long-term cellular stress.” - Dr. David Carpenter, Environmental Health Expert, University at Albany
Don’t Forget - Skin Drinks Too
It’s not just about what you sip, your skin (aka your biggest organ!) also absorbs water when you shower, bathe or swim.
So if you’re washing or swimming in chlorinated or chemically treated water, it can seriously mess with your skin barrier, microbiome, and even sneak into your bloodstream.
Looking for an easy fix? Add a Filtered Shower Head, Shower Filter or go big with a Whole House Filtration System to treat your skin to better quality water.
“Since prioritising using the right water, I’ve noticed a huge difference in the overall appearance of my skin. So many people comment on how glowing my skin is, and I know that using high quality, vitalised water has played a huge part in this.” - Georgie x
Water That Feels… Conscious?
Some researchers believe water does more than hydrate... it holds memory, responds to intention, and plays a dynamic role in healing.
“Water is not just a passive solvent but a living matrix that supports all cellular communication and function. When water is in its structured state, it becomes an intelligent medium through which the body can heal, balance, and thrive.”
Dr Carly Nuday, Author of Water Codes
Even if you’re not fully into the woo-woo yet, there’s something to be said for how spring water feels. It’s smoother, tastier, and just feels right in your body. When my sister was visiting recently she even commented on how delicious and ‘creamy’ the spring water tasted!
“For me, it was like night and day switching from tap water to spring water. It’s one of the decisions that I know has made such a difference to mine and my family’s overall wellbeing.” - Georgie x
Water = Energy = Magic ✨
Water is more than just a physical substance - it’s a carrier of energy and intention.
Dr. Masaru Emoto found that water exposed to love, kind words, or music formed beautiful crystals, while water exposed to negativity became chaotic.
“Water is life’s mirror - it reflects our consciousness.” - Dr. Masaru Emoto
Dr. Gerald Pollack later found that structured water (also called EZ water) stores energy like a battery, and fuels your body in magical ways.
Want to raise your water’s vibe? Try this:
💖 Speak positive affirmations to your water. It might feel a bit silly at first but hey, it’s 2025, we don’t worry about being cringe anymore 😉
💖 Use glass instead of plastic - this makes such a difference.
💖 Let your water soak up sunlight or nature before you drink it.
💖 Play sound healing or 432 Hz classical music such as Vivaldi or Mozart for your water (and for yourself while you’re at it!)
Every little ritual adds energy and intention. Your water will thank you, and so will your body.
How to Level-Up Your Water Game
Collect Spring Water From The Source:
💖 Find a local spring: Use FindASpring.com to locate nearby springs.
💖 Use glass containers: Avoid plastic bottles, which leach endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Top tip: reuse glass water bottles from shop-bought water to collect your spring water!
💖 Collect weekly: Spring water is freshest when consumed within 7 days.
Shop Bottled Spring Water:
If you don’t have access to a natural spring, the next best option is Icelandic Glacial Water, which is:
💖 Naturally alkaline & slightly deuterium-depleted (supports mitochondrial function)
💖 Bottled in glass (to avoid plastic leaching and great for re-using)
💖 Sourced from an untouched underground glacier aquifer
Recreate Spring-Like Water at Home
If you don’t have access to fresh spring water, you can mimic its properties using these four steps:
💧 Step 1: Filter with an Osmio System to remove fluoride, chlorine and heavy metals
💧 Step 2: Restructure with a Mayu Swirl to improve oxygenation & bioenergetic coherence
💧 Step 3: Add Celtic Sea Salt for electrolytes and to replenish essential minerals
💧 Step 4: Charge water with sun or Red Light for natural bio-photon absorption
Final Thoughts: Choose Water That Loves You Back
Water isn’t just something you drink. It’s something you are. Choosing water that’s mineral-rich, natural, and alive is one of the most loving things you can do for your body.
“Spring water is structured by nature - it holds memory, energy, and the perfect balance of minerals. It’s what the human body recognises.” - Veda Austin, Water Researcher and Author
Drink water that lights you up, that supports you from the inside out. Water that reminds you to reconnect; with yourself, with nature, and with the simple things that keep you Glowing Healthy.
