The Daniel Yores Podcast

Ronnie Duppert (@coach_ron_duppert) is a personal trainer based in North Carolina. Ron trains real people for real life. And he gets them incredible results. Training is very simple in nature - difficult to execute on consistently, but very simple. Ron breaks down his approach to training in a clear and concise way that is so easy to understand and implement immediately after listening to this episode. We discussed how to organize your training and what the best splits to use are, and why you might choose one over another. We discussed how to choose exercises and adapt them to your current needs and interests. And a ton more simple, actionable and valuable training advice is found in this episode. Quick note: unfortunately we had some minor tech issues while recording and there was a bit of a delay between us. I think we did as good a job as we could managing this but just a heads up. To get in touch with Ron, visit him on Instagram. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

In this episode I’m once again joined by my friend John Martirosyan aka JMart (@jmartfit) for a chat to recap our 2023 fitness pursuits, and look ahead to our 2024 goals. At the beginning of last year we did a similar episode, and you can find that here. This year, John is planning to run a full marathon after successfully completed a half marathon last year without any injury. I’ll be looking to re-up my goals from my last year now that I’m injury free. Staying injury free will be key, but the main goal is to get down to 9% body fat and be as strong as I can be for my wedding in a year’s time. We went over what went well and what didn’t from last year, what we’ll change this year, and generally how to set and approach fitness goals going forward. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

In this solo episode I discuss the hot (but not new) topic of intermittent fasting. Nutrition trends come and go, and none of them are the be all end all answer. If they were, everyone would do it! However, they all have some value and good things to them, along with the downsides. Mostly, they have a ton of overblown claims. I went through the reality of the purported benefits, some of the pros and cons to using fasting as a nutrition protocol, and my recommendations on how you might implement it in your own life. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Peter Tzemis is an entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and also my cousin. We’ve done a few episodes in the past, and it’s become a yearly thing to do an end of year recap. In this episode, we talk about a wide range of topics covering fitness and business and all the overlap between the two. Most notably, we spoke a lot about one thing Peter has implemented this year that’s given him the absolute greatest return: thinking time. Like anything, easier said than done. However, massively powerful when it’s done. 3 things from Peter to look out for in 2024: PupLabs: the highest quality dog treatsHot Guys Do Therapy: men’s mental health Kama Euphorics: tantric chocolate The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Steven Abbey is the founder and CEO of SOS Nutrients, a forward-thinking health and wellness brand that is changing the industry with its research-based, natural product. Steven is on a mission to cure the nutritional crisis through whole foods. It’s no secret that almost everyone is devoid of important nutrients to some degree, and that this contributes to our collective declining health. There are more ultra-processed, ultra-convenient, ultra-cheap options for food than ever - no wonder we are in this predicament. Steven and I spoke about some of the ways in which real, whole foods can truly heal people. We also spoke a lot about the differences between real and synthetic supplements and why the SOS product checks all the boxes that one would want in a supplement. This is an eye opening conversation around the impacts our everyday food has on our health, and some practical solutions to actually improve upon it. To learn more about Steven and SOS Nutrients, visit their website. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Anthony Pluff (@aplufftraining) is a personal trainer and father. His mission is to help dads lose weight and boost their energy so they can make more memories with their families. He is also the host of the Fatherhood Fitness Podcast and runs the free Fatherhood Fitness Facebook group for Dads. Anthony became a morning person after becoming a father. He was notoriously a night owl prior to this, but quickly realized that it was best for himself and his family for him to be up early and productive early in the morning - including getting his workout in. This is a tough transition, but is necessary for so many people. We spoke a lot about different strategies to be able to alter your schedule to be the most optimal for your lifestyle. He also has 3 young kids who all look up to him and learn from what he does. So in addition to being an amazing coach, he also has to set an example at home. This doesn’t mean only eating “healthy” foods and being militant at dinner time. It means helping his kids understand the difference between nutritious and less nutritious foods (or, sometimes foods as he calls them) and how all things can be included. Kids are like sponges, but the way we teach kids how to behave is honestly quite similar to the way we should teach ourselves as adults how to behave. This episode is full of nuggets and one I hope you’ll listen back to and share with your friends. Be sure to follow Anthony on IG, listen to his podcast, and join his free Facebook group. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

James Smith and Chris Williamson are two fantastic people whom I very much look up to. I’ve learned an absolute ton from each of them and their content, and had the opportunity to meet them and see them live in Toronto. I took away a ton of insightful lessons from them in business and life in general that I’ll apply to everything I’m doing. But staying true to this podcast, I’ve adapted these lessons to be relevant to your fitness and healthy goals. Feel free to extrapolate them and apply them to your life broadly, but I did my best to make this as relevant and actionable to your fitness goals as I could. The last one should be absolutely no surprise at all if you’re a regular listener. The 8 lessons you’ll learn: The only thing that is doing the thing, is doing the thing. Close the loops. Insecurities are powerful. Align yourself with the costs of getting the thing you want. If the decision is easily reversible, do it. Discipline over motivation. Remove barriers as much as possible. Be consistent. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.

Phil Dominguez (@philly_2434) is a personal trainer based near Los Angeles, California. He has one of the best outdoor home gyms around, and is a phenomenal coach with a deep understanding of mobility training and how to progress clients from beginners to advanced safely and efficiently. Also, he’s an NFL shareholder. I met Phil through mutual contacts online and then we finally met in person at a fitness conference in Edmonton. Phil has amazing energy and is definitely a person you want to be around. He brings all of this energy and passion to his coaching and it’s so obvious why he’s a great coach: he cares A LOT, and, he knows his stuff. There’s a lot that goes into designing a good workout program, especially for people who come from a wide variety of athletic backgrounds with various levels of experience and injuries or health issues. You can’t just be memorizing exercises and making everyone do the same things in this scenario, and this is where Phil excels. Most of this conversation was centered around how to improve your mobility, and how to choose exercises, or scale exercises up/down to suit your current needs, goals, and abilities. You’ll want your notepad close for this one! To stay in touch with Phil and check out everything he’s up to (and see his wicked home gym), follow him on IG. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.
