The Daniel Yores Podcast

Time. The biggest hurdle to fitness, maybe ever. Whether this is a real barrier or a perceived one, it’s all the same. We are all busy. If you ask someone if they’re busy, they will tell you yes. And yet, we all still need to train and take care of our health. So in this episode I discuss how to get it done when time is tight. I took two angles to approach this: one is from a time management perspective, and two is from a gym tactical perspective. Both are valid and probably some combination of the two are what you need to really help you, but take whatever you need and leave the rest.

Dr. Sam Scott holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology and is the CEO of Enhance-d - a startup aimed at helping people with diabetes to exercise safely and effectively.  Sam has worked with high level athletes and general population folks with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in helping them train and perform safely and effectively in sport and everyday life. Many people around the world are unfortunately affected by either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. While management of these conditions is possible, it’s not exactly intuitive or widely known. Sam and I sat down to discuss this today. Especially how exercise can help and greatly positively impact people. There are important considerations to make when just starting out, and there is certainly a bit of a learning curve. We cover all of this and more.We also discuss Sam’s company, Enhance-d which is a digital ecosystem that will simplify the tracking and analysis of all relevant data (glucose levels, insulin, nutrition etc) to empower those living with diabetes to make informed decisions, optimize their performance, and be part of a community to have ongoing support. You can download the app here and follow along on social media for any updates. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Dr. Brandon Parker (@dr.brandon.parker) is a chiropractor, strength coach, and host of the Revival Method podcast. Growing up as an athlete Brandon faced his own challenges with injuries. After working only as a strength coach for a number of years, he decided to become a chiropractor as well and blend the worlds of strength training and rehab. Your body was designed to move. I think we all know this intuitively, but often lose it somewhere along the way. With widely ranging advice from doctors, manual therapists and friends and family it can be confusing to know what’s right and what’s wrong when it comes to injuries and training in general. Dr. Parker helps to dispel a lot of the myths and give you the nuance behind it so that you can understand how to apply it to yourself. This is extremely important because all injuries are a little bit different, and all bodies are a little bit different, resulting in slightly different approaches to training and rehab. We discuss all the details and go over a ton of myths in this episode. If you’ve ever been injured or just want to be prepared for the next time a little tweak comes up, you’ll certainly find a ton of value in this episode. To keep up with everything Dr. Parker has going on, follow him on IG, check out his podcast and if you’re local then visit him in clinic in West Palm Beach, Florida. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

John Martirosyan (@jmartfit) is a personal trainer and host of the State of Health Podcast. He also works with people to understand their financial health as a part of the picture of overall health and a high quality of life. Last year John and I spoke about our 2024 fitness goals, and John's goal was to complete a marathon without any injury… and it was a success! We discussed all the training he did, what went well, what didn’t go so well and then what actually went down on the day of the race. If you’re interested in running this it’s an absolute must to listen to John’s insights and reflections here on his own experience. We also touched on some of the broader principles of training, and how you might be able to adapt some of these things to your own individual situation. Towards the end, we shifted gears to this year where we discussed fitness goals for 2025 where John is looking to add some muscle, and I’m just looking to stay injury free. Fun times all around! To keep up with everything John has going on, follow him on IG and X, and check out the State of Health Podcast. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Brianna Houston (@briannahouston.co) is a coach with over 40, 000 of experience across every population. Athletes, elderly, corporate, performance, sports, rehabilitation, and pre/post natal populations are all people Brianna has trained and excelled with. She now mainly focuses on clients in the pre and post natal seasons of life, &beyond. Well this was a conversation definitely out of my wheelhouse! I hope you learned as much as I did from having this conversation. Brianna is clearly and incredible coach and cares so deeply about her clients and is so knowledgeable about all of the interplay in regards to anything to do with pregnancy and health. In the episode we discuss all of the training considerations for anyone who is attempting to become pregnant, or is currently pregnant. Also, some other women’s health considerations, which are all intertwined. Brianna gives all the do’s and don’ts, as well as helping you to understand how to think about these things, and things that you must pay attention to, especially considering your pelvic floor health. It feels to me like all of this should be much more common knowledge. I mean, even in my education, we were not taught this. If you know someone who is currently pregnant, or planning to get pregnant soon, send them this episode. To keep up with everything Brianna has going on, follow her on IG and check out her website. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.
