Episode notes
Elisabetta Borgia is the WorldTour's first full-time team psychologist, supporting both the men and women at Trek-Segafredo. She knows the ins and outs of each rider, helping them develop emotional literacy and become their very best. In this week’s episode, Borgia joins Emma and James to discuss how cyclists can harness the power of self-talk, the changes parenthood can bring to a rider’s repertoire, how we feel things like nerves and fear for a reason, and the ways we can learn to accept these feelings and develop our understanding of them.

We hear a lot about ketones in the pro peloton, but what are they?
According to the experts H.V.M.N, ketones are a natural source of fuel for your body. When stored carbs are depleted, your body starts to convert fat into ketones. Studies show that ketones are 28% more efficient than glucose, making them a super-efficient fuel source for the brain and the body.
These benefits led H.V.M.N to create Ketone-IQ: a drinkable ketone designed to support energy, focus and endurance.
Developed alongside the U.S. military, Ketone-IQ is one of the most powerful ketone supplements on the market. It’s designed to elevate your ketone levels for up to 4 hours – much longer than other products. Plus, it’s vegan, caffeine free, and compliant with the World Anti-Doping Agency’s guidelines. That’s a major win for athletes.
Ketone-IQ Shots are the best way to get your ketones on the go. They’re portable, convenient, and fit perfectly in your pocket during a ride or a race.
