Why Heat Hydration?
"We strive to build a world where no environment, no matter how extreme, can hold you back"
Born in the deserts of Utah, Heat Hydration is built for the heat. Heat can be a brutal barrier to activity — whether you're sitting in the sauna post-workout, running, biking, playing pickup sports, or working construction, hot temperatures push your body to its limits.
​
But I never let the heat stop me from doing what I love.
​
The idea for Heat Hydration was born a few years ago during a spring break trip to Mexico. At the time, I was deep into my college season and wanted to stay in shape. So, despite the 95-degree heat and a UV index of 11, I set out for a run—at 2 PM, in the middle of the scorching afternoon. My goal was 10 miles to see a cool lighthouse.
​
At the 30-minute mark, I started feeling lightheaded. Like any competitive athlete, I pushed through it. But by 50 minutes in, my body sharply declined—dizzy, weak, overheating. The problem? I had run in a straight line 5 miles away from the hotel—and the fastest way back was to keep running.
​
By the time I reached my room, I was so delirious that I collapsed onto the bed, stripping off my drenched clothes before passing out. Thirty minutes later, I woke up to a cleaning lady screaming for help—finding me passed out, completely naked, suffering from heat stroke.
​
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s felt dizzy and depleted after pushing hard in the heat. That moment was my wake-up call—literally—and the inspiration for Heat Hydration.
Our Story
As collegiate athletes, we know what it means to push past limits. That feeling when your body is on the edge—when standing feels impossible—but you keep going anyway? That’s the thrill. Some might call it crazy, but we give everything we have to the moment.
​
Heat Hydration was born out of necessity. Running under the scorching desert sun, we needed a way to retain electrolytes, adapt to the heat, and keep performing—without the artificial junk found in other electrolyte brands. So, we created a unique solution.
​
Heat Hydration isn’t just about hydration—it’s about fueling those who refuse to quit. A clean, on-the-go formula designed to help you push past your limits—safely and effectively.
​
Heat Hydration is built for those who are built different.
Who Are We?
Hey! I’m Ben — the founder, formulator, and hands-on inventor behind Heat Hydration.
​
In 2024, I graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Vermont, where I also played Division 1 Ultimate Frisbee. Sports and the outdoors have always been a huge part of my life. Whether I’m biking, swimming, running (yep, triathlons), or chasing a disc across a field, movement is my medicine.
​
But one thing kept holding me back: overheating. I tried countless supplements and electrolyte brands, but nothing had what I needed — so I started making my own.
​
I began experimenting with this formula years ago so I could keep doing the things I love without being sidelined by heat and dehydration. After countless iterations, I’ve landed on a blend that I truly believe in. It’s built for performance and backed by real science and personal experience — not just market trends.
​
This isn’t some big corporate product made in a massive facility. Heat Hydration is made by me, in small batches, with ingredients I stand behind. Every pouch is hand-mixed and quality tested before it ships out.
​
This is just the beginning. I’m constantly testing, listening, learning — and I’m stoked to have you along for the ride.
​
If you have feedback, ideas, or just want to say hey, reach out anytime. Seriously — I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks for being here,

Hey folks! I’m Gabe—an avid user and believer of Heat Hydration, and the newest Marketing Coordinator and Customer Success Manager on the team!
​
Ben and I go way back, from being hockey and frisbee opponents in high school to being frisbee teammates for three years at the University of Vermont, and now business partners. I was one of the first users of Heat Hydration. The first time I took a sip, I knew he had created something special. Just like Ben, sports (mainly frisbee) are a huge part of my life. For a while, those were taken away from me due to injuries. As I was making my comeback onto the scene in 2025, I was really struggling with my cardio. Ben was kind enough to send me some Heat Hydration, and once I started using it consistently, I noticed a drastic difference in my mental fortitude during those difficult—and hot—training sessions.
​
Heat Hydration changed the way I trained and made it easier for me to stay locked in and focused on the task at hand—not to mention how good it tasted. I would constantly stay in touch with Ben about it, and when he mentioned he was ready for some help, I knew it was meant to be.
​
Your body is a machine, and if you don’t fuel it correctly, it makes it almost impossible to reach the next level. Heat Hydration is one of the few electrolyte brands out there that doesn’t cut corners to save money. We stay true to our consumers and only put out a product that is 100% for the customer—not for the business.
​
Whatever you are training for in life, don’t let dehydration and the heat stop you from being the athlete you want to be. I am so excited to work with you all—we do it for you.
Let’s beat the heat,
—Gabe
