D&D Fitness Radio Podcast

In Episode 114, we speak with Daniel Tal Mor direct from Tel Aviv to talk about his most recent start-up project that revolves around health and nutrition. Daniel provides us with the background on this project which is a collaboration with his wife and sister in-law – both of whom are scientists – and how they came up with the technology to allow consumers to track their metabolism and make good choices around nutrition and exercise. While it may seem it is too good to be true, their affordable Lumen device and associated app uses proven science and technology to monitor carbon dioxide levels in your breath to determine how your body is using fats and carbohydrates throughout the day. Daniel tells us about the journey involved in not only developing the technology, but also working with consumers and communities to optimize the benefits of monitoring your nutrition and metabolic status from day to day.Lumen is a device and app that measures your metabolism in a simple breath and provides daily personalized nutrition based on your metabolic data. Through the device and app, you can achieve your fitness goals whether they be weight loss, performance optimization, or simply improving your metabolic health.You can find out more information on Daniel and Lumen via the following links:Website: https://lumen.meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lumen.me/Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/lumenmetabolism/The D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217iHeart Radio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showSpotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/5Py2SSPA4mntNwYRm0OpriYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.

In Episode 113, we meet with Eliisa Tennant, the Community Marketing Manager at Cronometer. We discuss the use of the Cronometer app to help monitor and manage diet and nutrition for individuals and organizations. While tracking nutritional information can often seem tedious and time consuming, we learn more from Eliisa about how Cronometer makes nutritional tracking much more convenient and accurate. Whether you are optimizing human performance, losing weight, improving body composition or managing a medical condition, Cronometer takes all of the guess work out of diet management and nutritional choices.Cronometer is considered one of the most accurate, comprehensive nutrition tracking apps available. Unlike other apps on the market, the nutritional data is curated from verified, accurate sources, providing a complete solution – no matter what diet you choose to be on. CEO, Aaron Davidson, built the Cronometer app as a side project in 2005. He was following the CRON diet (Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition) and being the nutrition nerd/software developer that he is, decided to build an app to track his diet. Thus, Cronometer was born. It was several years later before he came to the conclusion that maybe he was onto something and quit his six-figure corporate job to focus on improving Cronometer. There are now over 5 million users.You can find out more information on Eliisa and Cronometer via the following links:Website: https://cronometer.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cronometer_official/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cronometerThe D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217iHeart Radio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showSpotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/5Py2SSPA4mntNwYRm0OpriYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.

In Episode 112, Don and Derek discuss finding the ‘sweet spot’ in their training as they age. In the case of running, one of the biggest challenges is to find an intensity and volume of running that creates significant health and fitness benefits without placing an individual at risk for overtraining or injury. While the younger versions of yourself may have been able to withstand any type of workout that you would undertake, the ageing adult must exercise a little more control and discretion over their workouts to maximize their health and ensure longevity. Don and Derek share their strategies for incorporating workouts that give them the best bang for their buck, without setting them up for exhaustion, injury or a poor metabolic response. In many cases, the addition of appropriate recovery measures may be required for older adults to make sure you are fully rested before heading into the next workout. Making good decisions on training is absolutely necessary for everyone, but plays a bigger role for ageing adults.The D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217iHeart Radio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showSpotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/5Py2SSPA4mntNwYRm0OpriYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.

He tells us about his training for some of the most gruelling races in the world, dealing with everything from heat exhaustion, altitude changes and creatively fueling himself. We discuss David’s training and his use of different footwear for different training and competition scenarios. Thankfully, David has managed to stay relatively injury free. As such, we talk about his approach to training intelligently for maintaining a long running career and lifestyle, while at the same time, not taking life or running too seriously.David Kilgore, born in UK, raised in Florida and currently residing in NYC, is a runner of all trades from shorter distance races on the road/track to long ultra-distance on the trails. David placed third at the 2018 USATF 50K Trail Championships, won the 2018 Breakneck Point 42K and has a 50K PB of a mind-boggling 3:01. In 2019 he came in 4th at the USATF Trail Championships at Fourmidable 50k in California, made the 2019 USA Trail world team and ran a double marathon in Rio De Janeiro in 5:40:02 in ON Running CloudStratus shoes.

In Episode 106, we talk about our most memorable travel experiences, as we look forward to returning to more ‘normal’ travel in the near future. Remember when you were a youngster and you looked forward to getting on an airplane and enjoying the whole experience? When did traveling become a negative and anxious experience for most people? Does air travel bring out the worst in some people? We discuss all of the issues – past, present and future – related to our own air travel, but also look forward to the benefits of being able to travel and share experiences with our family, friends and people that we have yet to meet. Despite all of the negative experiences we have endured with air travel, we are cautiously optimistic about getting back to the ‘friendly skies’ in 2021.
