sweat sodium testing in Port Moody

Hydration isn’t one size fits all. Sweat sodium testing gives you individual insights into your hydration needs based off your unique physiology. After this one-hour appointment, you will come away with a detailed report outlining your personal hydration strategy so you can stop guessing and fuel smarter.

What Is Sweat Sodium Testing

Everyone sweats, but how much sodium you lose is unique. Using a sweat patch and the MX3 Hydration Testing System during exercise, we measure your loss precisely so you can hydrate smarter, not just more.

Why Do Sweat Sodium Testing?

This test measures exactly how much sodium you lose in your sweat, helping you build a personalized hydration plan. With precise data, you can:

Optimize fuelling for long training sessions and races
Reduce cramping, fatigue, and GI distress from poor electrolyte replacement
Prevent performance drops from dehydration or hyponatremia
Recover more effectively with rehydration tailored to your actual losses

This test is especially beneficial for endurance athletes training in heat, first responders, heavy sweaters, salty sweaters, or anyone who’s struggled with hydration issues during racing.

Duration: ~60 minutes
Investment: $199

How It Works

Using the MX3 LAB Pro, a state-of-the-art portable device, testing is non-invasive and lab-grade.

Baseline hydration test: a quick saliva sample before exercise
Workout session: moderate treadmill or bike workout while wearing a sweat patch to collect accurate sweat data
Post-exercise hydration test: a second saliva sample after your workout
Results & strategy: your sodium loss rate, sweat profile, and hydration plan

I have been training for my first ultra marathon with Kylie and it has been eye opening how crucial nutrition and hydration is. I had always noticed saltiness in my sweat and was intrigued by the thought of a sweat test. Kylie was really accommodating to my busy weekend schedule. She was prepared with all the instructions and prepared a running route ahead of time. The test itself was quick and easy both pre and post run. I found the results really comprehensive and insightful. I would recommend any runners who are training for a marathon, ultra or just curious about their sodium loss to take a test with Kylie!

Kylie conducted a sweat test for me and I found it answered so many questions. She was pleasant to deal with and gave me the information I needed. I’ll definitely recommend her to other athletes of all levels!

Kylie was super helpful and accommodating for my sodium test! I am dealing with nausea and cramping when running, and of course it happened while the test happened. Health comes first, so we paused to let the nausea subside before we continued on. The sodium report was very informative. As someone who sweats a lot during running + workouts, seeing the high sodium loss wasn't exactly a surprise. I've been following Kylie's recommendations for a couple of weeks now, including switching to a higher-sodium electrolyte. Thankfully, this is helping my nausea subside. It's great working with someone who is down to earth + focused on facts, not trends. I would highly recommend getting the sweat test done, especially if you're running longer distances to help you optimize your electrolyte intake throughout your training

Went in for a "sweat test." Had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Kylie is very knowledgeable and knows her stuff. Highly recommend if you're trying to dial hydration to get one done!

Nice testing environment. Kylie's treadmill sweat test indicated that I produce a very high sodium content/per sweat. I tried Kylie's electrolyte replacement recommendation during a subsequent threshold running workout and I noticed an improvement. Upon completion of this regular workout, l usually feel mild cramping and discomfort for several hours afterwards; however, this time the cramping was minimal to almost non-existent. I'm looking forward to using these individualized electrolyte replacement strategies to better my marathon race times in the future
