To learn more about our services, here are some recent webinars and podcasts in which I have been asked to partake – hope you enjoy.
In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, hosts Dr. Marc Humbert and Cameron Garber sit down with Daniel Crumback — KORR’s Director of International Sales, certified exercise physiologist, chartered physiotherapist, and certified strength and conditioning coach — for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked data sets in metabolic testing: respiratory values. While most practitioners stop at VO2 max or basic metabolic markers, Daniel reveals how tidal volume, breathing frequency, and lung function norms can expose performance limiters that no one else is talking about. From RMR test quality issues caused by over-breathing, to identifying whether an athlete has a respiratory capacity or capability problem, this episode is packed with clinical insight and real-world testing examples.
This episode tackles the single biggest operational gap in most fitness and performance facilities: the absence of metabolic testing. Daniel Crumback returns with 25+ years of experience in physiological testing and respiratory training, having worked with Olympic athletes, military operators, and clients from the general population. The conversation frames metabolic testing not as a luxury add-on for elite athletes but as a foundational driver of revenue, retention, and results for any gym, studio, or clinic willing to adopt it.
Note: Part of this episode uses charts. Check out the video version to see them in action.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)
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. We discuss his recent research aimed at reducing reinjury rates in the Canadian Armed Forces combined with his research in non-contact regional injury prediction.
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.
In this episode of Metabolic Mastery, Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber are joined by Daniel Crumback (Director of International Sales at KORR Medical Technologies, and Director of Strategic Health & Performance) to break down how physiological testing can uncover the real reason someone stalls in fitness, performance, and health. Most people think VO2 max and RMR testing ends with a score and a set of training zones.
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.
“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 Crumback to cut through the noise and reframe training zones around what actually matters: ATP production and substrate use.
Daniel shares his extraordinary journey from the Canadian military to leading performance testing for elite athletes across the globe. You’ll hear: How Daniel transitioned from commanding military hospitals to advising Olympic teams Why he’s a staunch advocate for individualized testing over one-size-fits-all training His insights on VO₂, spirometry, NIRS, and the myths of respiratory training Candid thoughts on pseudoscience in the health and fitness world Why metabolic testing is essential for matching fitness effort with performance goals
This podcast discusses the science of physiological data and how it relates to your health, happiness, and performance. |
Daniel shares valuable insights on how practitioners can use metabolic analysis, near infrared spectroscopy, and respiratory testing to identify performance limitations and personalize treatment strategies. Daniel emphasizes the importance of leveraging the body’s natural mechanisms to optimize performance. His journey highlights how practitioners can combine physiotherapy, strength conditioning, and metabolic testing to create more effective and tailored approaches for their patients, helping them achieve better outcomes in both rehabilitation and performance.
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?
Welcome to our deep dive into the powerful world of longevity! In this exceptional video, we team up with Daniel Crumback from Strategic Health Performance to uncover the complexities of longevity and how it relates to your health, fitness, and overall well-being. With the rising awareness of our biological and chronological age, it’s time to take charge of your health journey right now.
Metabolic testing is a scientific approach that helps you understand how your body metabolizes nutrients, providing you crucial insights into optimizing your performance and health. What You’ll Learn in This Video:
- Understanding Metabolic Testing: Learn what metabolic testing entails, and why it’s vital for both athletes and everyday individuals looking to enhance their health.
- Data Analysis Techniques: Discover how metabolic data influences exercise programming and dietary choices for tailored, client-specific solutions.
