Ep. 42 - From “Always 6th Place” to the Podium: Fixing Breathing Limits With Daniel Crumback

Respiratory limitations are one of the most overlooked performance bottlenecks in exercise physiology, and they can quietly cap results even in highly trained athletes. In this episode, Daniel Crumback breaks down how to identify respiratory limitations using ventilatory patterns you can already see in metabolic testing data without getting fooled by “good” minute ventilation (VE).

Breaking the Cycle Preventing Reinjury in Military and Beyond

Reinjury is a common challenge following an initial injury—especially in high-demand environments like sports and military service. Understanding how to prevent it is crucial for long-term recovery and performance. In this episode, host Tom Hoppe is joined by Daniel Crumback, a highly credentialed expert in rehabilitation and performance. Daniel is a Physiotherapist, Sport Physiotherapist, Clinical Exercise Physiologist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, High Performance Specialist, Chartered Activity and Health Practitioner, and Director of Strategic Health and Performance.

Why You're Not Burning Fat: Metabolic Testing, VO₂ & FatMax Explained with Daniel Crumback

Are you training hard, eating clean… yet still not seeing fat loss or performance improvements? Today, metabolic testing expert Daniel Crumback joins me to explain how metabolic testing helps you finally stop guessing and start personalizing your training, nutrition, and recovery based on real physiology.

With metabolic analysis and physiotherapy expertise, Daniel has mentored over 1,000 individuals in exercise prescription and respiratory training. He has also lectured at the University of Chichester and served as a Physiotherapy Officer for 29 years in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Why Your Metabolism Test May Be LYING to You About Fat Burning

In this deep-dive episode, Daniel Crumback, one of the world’s leading experts in metabolic analysis and exercise physiology, returns to break down how to get the most accurate data possible from metabolism testing — and why most people (and clinics) are doing it incorrectly. We cover how VO₂ max testing, resting metabolic rate (RMR), fat-burning data, and metabolic zones are often misinterpreted due to poor preparation, bad protocols, and incomplete testing equipment.

How to Find Your True Zone 2 (and Why Most Apps Get It Wrong)

“Zone 2” is everywhere—but are we even talking about the same thing? Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber sit down with performance physiologist Daniel Krumback to cut through the noise and reframe training zones around what actually matters: ATP production and substrate use. Instead of leaning on arbitrary percentages of HRmax or VO₂max—or single-point lactate snapshots—they unpack how real-time O₂ and CO₂ data reveals where your metabolism shifts, why inflection points beat “crossover” shortcuts, and how to translate those shifts into smarter prescriptions for everyday athletes, patients, and pros.

Daniel Crumback on Testing your VO2 Max

Today I asked Daniel Crumback of Strategic Health Performance to help clear up some confusion on how to improve longevity as with VO2Max testing, Zone 2 LSD and Zone 5 interval training. Topics we discuss include…and much more to dive into! What health and fitness markers impact our aging process- longevity? What is longevity? How do we measure longevity? Metabolic health markers? How can we learn what WE need personally to improve our aging process? Which lab tests and fitness tests can help predict our longevity or aging VO2 Max- why we need to test it to figure out personalized program to improve longevity (time in zones) What if you are afraid of testing VO2 Max – going to max if non-exerciser?
