In this episode, we’re joined by sports nutritionist Gino Devriendt, who shares what it’s like to fuel performance in women’s cycling — from navigating the lack of scientific research to dealing with the sensitivity around weight, body composition, and recovery. Gino opens up about the grey zones in sports science, the hormonal variables still overlooked, and why personalized nutrition is key.

We also dive into the latest headlines from the women’s peloton: the chaos of the Vuelta team time trial, surprise performances, our guests lighting up the race, Demi Vollering’s impactful interview, and Lotte Kopecky’s powerful Instagram post. Plus, we make a few bold predictions of our own.
