190. Q&A: Thoughts on Tour De France, Foco Fondo Race, Grounding, Post-Accident Nutrition, + More

The Derek Teel Podcast

In this episode of the Dialed Health podcast, I answer your most asked questions – from cycle-based topics to my personal lifestyle habits.

After gathering what you’ve asked on Instagram, I dive into thoughts on the Tour de France, how to optimize training for cycling, what to eat after an injury, and the benefits of grounding for mental well-being. I also discuss my daily prayer habits, the importance of creating lasting memories with family, the joys and challenges of traveling with young children, and much more.
