The Daniel Yores Podcast

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.

Chris Colucci (@chriscolucci.ny) is a fitness writer and editor who’s been in the game for over 20 years. From training everyday fitness enthusiasts, to competitive athletes, interviewing fitness legends and writing for some of the biggest publications to educate the masses, he’s done it all. With all this experience, it’s easy to draw a conclusion that one of the biggest barriers to fitness is time. This is probably no surprise to you. And yet, we see people who still think they need to spend 2 hours a day in the gym to get great results. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Chris and I discuss some of the best ways to make your training as efficient as possible. Keeping you in the gym no longer than necessary, while also ensuring that you’re having extremely effective workouts to build muscle, get strong, and lose some body fat. Efficiency really is the name of the game when trying to fit fitness into your life. Along with this is nutrition. Chris shares the ultimate tip that solves the vast majority of nutrition issues. And it’s way simpler than you think. And it’s not some gimmick. It just coincidentally solves a ton of problems at once. Fellow coaches, if you’re looking to elevate your career via writing, check out The Write Spotters.

Andrew Coates (@andrewcoatesfitness) is a personal trainer, writer, speaker, and the unofficial mayor of fitness. He trains clients both online and in-person, and is the host of the Lift Free and Diet Hard Podcast. Andrew is one of the best ambassadors for fitness today. His ability to connect people is unmatched, and a significant amount of people have ended up as guests on this podcast either directly or indirectly via Andrew. But in this chat, instead of talking about industry stuff, we chatted about perhaps the largest silent barrier to fitness - your personal identity and relationship with fitness. The people who make a healthy lifestyle “look easy” adopt the identity of a fit person. Eventually, it is no longer a chore to eat healthy, exercise, drink plenty of water etc - it’s just who you are and what you do. But this doesn’t happen by accident. And often, people subconsciously sabotage themselves into making this impossible. So this discussion is focused on how to embody this lifestyle. The actual steps, tools and tactics to employ to slowly change your own beliefs about yourself to identify as a fit person. Powerful stuff, enjoy! To keep up with Andrew, follow him IG, check out his website, and listen to his podcast on Apple or Spotify. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Brandon Mancine (@bmfcoach) is an online trainer who focuses on helping people build resilience and become more anti-fragile. Brandon’s simple message of “get strong and do stuff” really speaks volumes. 7 years ago Brandon was unfortunately in a terrible car accident and was badly injured. He was told he would never be able to do many of the things he enjoyed doing. However, through his resilience and knowledge of training, he was back squatting over 400lbs in no time. For this, he’s been dubbed the “Real Life Wolverine”. We talk a lot in the episode about this resilience and what it’s like to come back from terrible injuries. And maybe most importantly, why you should seriously prioritize your training and getting strong so that you are physically as resilient as possible should anything ever happen to you. We also spoke a lot about making fitness part of your life, and this goes hand-in-hand. Our current environment is set up so that we are weak, sick, and overweight. You need to consciously cultivate the opposite. Brandon will be at the Silverback Summit in Phoenix Arizona Nov 15-16. Get $200 off your ticket with code “ALIG200”Brandon also owns HairXT, which offers natural products to increase hair growth for both men and women. Code “HXT20” gets you 20%. To keep up with everything Brandon’s got going on, join his newsletter, and follow him on IG @bmfcoach or @coachbrandonmancine. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Rick Olderman (rickolderman.com) is a licensed physical therapist, author, and creator of the Fixing You Method. His latest book is titled “Pain Patterns: Why You Are In Pain and How To Stop It” and is now available on Amazon. Rick has a much different, (and a much more comprehensive) approach to healing injuries than most. This is all laid out in detail in Rick’s latest book, and it’s what we chatted about in this episode. The three main pillars are the connection between movement, fascia and reflexes in pain and how these all contribute to creating, and healing injuries. Functional linking is the connection between all your past injuries and poor movement patterns and your current pain. And lastly the connection between psychological trauma or stress and pain. All of this combined contributes to pain in various ways. Understanding it allows you to identify it, and then work to correct or improve it to ultimately help you get out of pain and back to living your best life as soon as possible. If you’ve ever been injured, or experience chronic pain, this episode is for you. To stay up to date with everything Rick has going on, please visit his website where you can also access a free e-book on fixing stubborn pain. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

The Winter Arc, a little corny, but if it gets you fired up then let it rip. Things in life change as the seasons change - more or fewer social outings, and just general attitude around life overall. And you can spin each of these seasons as positive or negative for your fitness. Winter can feel like a time to just stay in, eat a ton of good food, and not really worry about your fitness until Spring.ORIt can be a time to lock in, and use the isolation of Winter to your advantage. To be disciplined in training and nutrition. To test yourself to work harder when maybe others aren’t. And eventually be way ahead of where you are now. To each their own. But if you’re looking to get on this “Winter Arc”, then this episode contains everything you need from a fitness perspective to really dial things in this Winter and come out the other side in your best shape ever. If you want in on this, send me a DM on IG and I will put together an accountability group for as many people want to join in. We can all work together and lift each other up when you need it.Let’s get it. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.
