The Daniel Yores Podcast

Injuries absolutely suck. But if you train hard and push yourself, they are almost inevitable. Except for extremely bad luck, you should avoid any major or catastrophic injury, but little tweaks are going to happen. There are few people I know who have been injured more than I have. I don’t say this to brag, I wish it weren’t the case, but it gives credibility to the protocols laid out in this epi...

The world doesn’t have a weight loss or fat loss problem. There are thousands, perhaps millions of before an after photos online of real people who have lost tremendous amounts of weight.

People flocking to the cardio machines ahead of summer is as predictable as the sun rising tomorrow. As well as the classic “I’m gonna do 10-15 mins on the stairmaster to finish my workout, cause I’m cutting you know.”  Does this work? Is it broscience, real science, somewhere in between? Is it a waste of time, or the best use of time possible? What is cardio, and does it even have anything to do...

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 pro...
