It is a performance and recovery deep dive that brings together sophrology, breathing, continuous glucose monitoring, creatine, fibre and Pilates — and shows how the body-mind connection is the missing piece most cyclists never think to address.Lindsey covers:🚴 Sophrology on the bike — how body awareness practices are adding watts to Lindsey's FTP, improving her power, balance and positioning, and why becoming aware of tension is the gateway to becoming aware of power🫁 Breathing — why nose breathing is non-negotiable on the road, what bellows breathing does to your diaphragm, and how unlocking the lower back is quietly transforming everything above and below it📉 Continuous glucose monitoring — what a CGM actually shows you, why glucose spikes and crashes are silently destroying your energy and your sleep, and what Lindsey learned about her own body that changed how she fuels🥩 Protein, fibre and the 3pm biscuit — why protein shakes without fibre are not the answer, what psyllium husk actually does, and how to stabilise your glucose so your energy doesn't yo-yo through the day💪 Creatine — why Lindsey is taking it, what the science says, and how it accidentally became a habit-stacking win for morning hydration😴 Recovery and sleep — why the 3am wake-up is almost always a glucose story, and what menopausal women (and men) need to know about eating timing and sleep quality🧘 Retreat as a performance tool — why two days of sophrology and consciousness work away from screens, family and phone had a measurable impact on Lindsey's Pilates and cycling within days of returningPlus: the upcoming post-retreat integration workshops launching in London for anyone who has already been on a retreat and wants to keep the benefits going.📌 Connect with Lindsey Frances:🔗 LinkedIn📸 Instagram▶️ YouTube🌐 Website🌐 Rich Simple Human
