  • Brain Health: How to Keep Your Brain Healthy as You Age with Dr. Tommy Wood

    Brain Health: How to Keep Your Brain Healthy as You Age with Dr. Tommy Wood
    Sep 22 2026
    Don sits down with Dr. Tommy Wood, a neuroscientist, physician, and associate professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at the University of Washington, to explore what it actually takes to keep your brain healthy and performing well throughout your life. Tommy offers a refreshingly simple definition of brain health: Does your brain do what you want it to do, when you want it to do it? From there, Don and Tommy explore how sleep, exercise, nutrition, learning, and recovery all contribute to cognitive and physical performance, and why there isn't one magic supplement or hack that can replace the fundamentals. They also discuss the importance of variety and challenge for the brain. Tommy explains why combining aerobic fitness, strength training, coordination, and skilled activities can provide different types of stimulation, and why activities that require you to respond to your environment and process information can be particularly valuable. ----------------------------- Sponsored By: Timeline / Mitopure: Get 20% off Mitopure to Target Age-Related Cellular Decline and Promote Anti-Aging and Health Longevity.

  • Rethinking Injury with Dr. Jordan Shallow, Dr. Jordan Jiunta, and Dr. Charlie Weingroff

    Rethinking Injury with Dr. Jordan Shallow, Dr. Jordan Jiunta, and Dr. Charlie Weingroff
    Sep 15 2026
    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: Stay Active With a Sedentary Job

    Coaching Moments: Stay Active With a Sedentary Job
    Sep 8 2026
    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.

  • Building a Better Relationship With Food with Nicki Parlitsis

    Building a Better Relationship With Food with Nicki Parlitsis
    Sep 1 2026
    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.
