Stronger with Don Saladino

In this panel episode of Stronger, Don Saladino sits down with Dr. Jordan Shallow, Dr. Jordan Jiunta, and Dr. Charlie Weingroff to rethink the way we approach injury, pain, rehabilitation, and recovery. Each guest begins by sharing a personal injury that changed the way they think about training. From Charlie's experience with severe back pain and nearly undergoing spine surgery, to Jordan Jiunta's spinal fracture and Jordan Shallow's torn pec, their stories reveal how setbacks can change the way you understand the bod.  The conversation then gets practical: What should you do when rehab isn't producing lasting results? How important is progressive loading? When should you stop relying on passive treatments? And how can you continue training while working around an injury? The panel emphasizes education, active rehabilitation, appropriate progression, and finding ways to keep moving forward rather than becoming dependent on endless treatments. Don, Jordan, Jordan, and Charlie also challenge some common assumptions around stretching, exercise selection, training volume, and what it means to "protect" an injured body.  ----------------------------- Sponsored By: Timeline / Mitopure: Get 20% off Mitopure to Target Age-Related Cellular Decline and Promote Anti-Aging and Health Longevity.

Coaching Moments are one-on-one coaching sessions between Don and a community member from his online “Challenger” training group. In this Coaching Moment, Challenger Laura Andrew joins Don to talk through a challenge many people face: how to stay active and healthy when your daily routine suddenly becomes more sedentary. With a new job keeping her at a desk for much of the day, Laura asks Don for practical advice on how to build more movement into her everyday routine, structure her training, and make sure her workday doesn't undo the progress she's making in the gym. Rather than looking for a complicated solution, Don breaks down simple, realistic ways Laura can increase her daily activity, rethink how she approaches movement, and build habits that fit into her life.  ----------------------------- Sponsored By: Timeline / Mitopure: Get 20% off Mitopure to Target Age-Related Cellular Decline and Promote Anti-Aging and Health Longevity.

Registered dietician Nicki Parlitsis joins Don to have an honest conversation about our complicated relationships with food, and why so many people find themselves caught in a cycle of restriction, binge eating, guilt, and starting over. Nicki explains how an all-or-nothing mindset can turn one indulgent meal into the feeling that you've "ruined" an entire day or week. They explore how restricting food, labeling foods as "good" or "bad," and putting unrealistic expectations on ourselves can contribute to patterns of overeating and binge eating, and why breaking that cycle starts with changing the way we think about food. The conversation also looks at the role of stress, emotional regulation, and self-awareness in our eating habits. Nicki shares practical strategies for recognizing what is actually driving the desire to eat, creating more balanced meals, and moving forward after a setback instead of waiting for the next day, Monday, or the next diet to start again. ----------------------------- Sponsored By: David Protein: Buy 4 Cartons of David Protein Bars, Get 1 Free.

Renowned stylist Ilaria Urbinati, whose clients include Ryan Reynolds, Chris Evans, John Krasinski, Rami Malek, and Dwayne Johnson, joins Don to explore the psychology behind personal style, and why the way we present ourselves can have a much bigger impact on confidence than we realize. Don and Ilaria talk about what separates people who feel comfortable in their own skin from those who don't, and how clothing can actually help build confidence when it's not already there. They discuss how personal style should evolve as we change, whether that's because of age, a new phase of life, a changing body, or simply a better understanding of who you are. The conversation gets particularly practical for men: how to dress for your body type, why muscular physiques can change the way clothes fit, how to find the right colors and cuts, and why developing an everyday style is more important than simply having the perfect suit for a special occasion. Ilaria also explains why the goal isn't to transform someone into a completely different person. It's about understanding who they already are and bringing out the best, most elevated version of themselves. And ultimately, she believes style should be fun, not something you take so seriously that you lose the effortless quality that makes it yours. ----------------------------- Sponsored By: Timeline / Mitopure: Get 20% off Mitopure to Target Age-Related Cellular Decline and Promote Anti-Aging and Health Longevity.

Desmond O'Neill, a former investigator and interrogator with decades of experience working in high-pressure environments, joins Don to explore the skills that can make us better communicators, leaders, coaches, and partners. Desmond shares what years of interviewing and negotiating have taught him about reading people, building rapport, asking better questions, and, perhaps most importantly, knowing when to stop talking and start listening. He explains why true rapport isn't simply being friendly, but understanding where another person is mentally and emotionally and meeting them there. Don and Desmond also explore how these same skills translate directly to coaching. Whether you're working with an athlete, a client, a colleague, or a family member, understanding someone's headspace can completely change the way you approach a conversation. Don reflects on coaching dozens of different personalities in a single day and why situational awareness became one of the most important skills he developed. ----------------------------- Sponsored By: MasterClass: Get an additional 15% off any annual membership at http://masterclass.com/stronger - with MasterClass you can learn from the best to become your best.
