It started with a problem too big to ignore. As a lifelong athlete growing up in South Florida, I saw firsthand how heat and dehydration pushed student-athletes to their limits, sometimes past them. I watched young competitors sidelined by muscle cramps, exhaustion, and even life-threatening heat-related illnesses, all while being handed the same outdated, sugar-loaded sports drinks. Everything else in youth sports had evolved with better training, safer equipment, and new safety protocols, yet hydration remained stuck in the past.

I set out to change that.

What began as a mission to protect student-athletes quickly grew into something bigger. Lytening isn’t just about sports; it’s about keeping anyone, anywhere, hydrated when it matters most. Today, our formula is trusted by first responders, healthcare systems, and those looking for an effective oral alternative to IV therapy.

Modeled after the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS), Lytening is doctor-developed to optimize the body’s ability to absorb water and electrolytes quickly. Unlike traditional sports drinks, it contains no artificial dyes, sugar alcohols, or unnecessary fillers. And to ensure the highest standards, we took it a step further. Lytening is NSF Certified for Sport, meaning every batch is rigorously tested and guaranteed free from harmful contaminants.

At my core, I’m a fitness enthusiast, still running, training, and pushing my own limits. One day, I plan to run all the major marathons. But my biggest race is making sure that no athlete, first responder, or everyday warrior has to suffer from dehydration when a better solution exists.

Hydration has been overlooked for too long. Now, we’re changing that.
