Dr. Lauren Costantini, PHD: How to Balance Racing Bikes with a Successful Career

Guess what? We have another new coach on the FasCat team and we couldn't be more excited! Dr. Lauren Costantini, PHD has a holistic approach to training where she focuses on fitness, nutrition and sleep altogther, as the three work synergystically. And in this episode of the FasCat podcast, we dive into her background on these three things. Plus, we also chat about her time as a professor at Harvard, her switch to the BioTech world and the products she developed, plus how she managed her time while being a CEO and racing bikes!

For a quick look into Lauren, she has a PhD in Neuroscience and was on faculty at Harvard Medical School before moving cross-country to enter the biotech world of Silicon Valley. She then became the CEO of a medical device wearables company.

Though a dancer from the ages of 3 to 18 years old, Lauren entered the cycling world in her late 20s and soon became a nationally ranked professional bike racer (including a bronze medal at Mountain Bike Masters Worlds and Gravel Worlds, and multiple Cyclocross National podiums).

After facing back fusion surgery in 2019, she spent months researching scientific peer-reviewed studies to identify the best foods, strength training, and sleep science to enhance her recovery. This led not only to a remarkable recovery from surgery, but also elevated her athletic performance and vitality when she was back on the bike.

Her story is beyond interesting, so tune into the full episode to hear more!
