Dr. Jordan Shallow returns to the Stronger with Don Saladino for part two of their conversation. In his first appearance, Dr. Shallow unpacked the science of pain; this time, they get into recovery.

Together, Don and Jordan break down why some people feel worse on rest days, the difference between active recovery and complete rest, and how lifestyle factors like stress, nutrition, hydration, and sleep all shape performance. They share practical strategies to avoid burnout, program smarter training, and understand when recovery is truly needed versus when it’s an excuse.

The conversation also covers myths around recovery “hacks,” why exercise programming itself is the foundation of recovery, and how even small decisions, like hydration, food quality, and sleep, open or close big doors for progress.

To close, Don and Jordan take a live Q&A from listener Emy, tackling how to approach recovery after surgery (like an ACL repair) and how to safely return to high-impact activity.

Integrative and functional dietitian Michelle Shapiro joins Don Saladino for a conversation about living in a highly sensitive body, and what happens when your nervous system, gut, and immune system are all turned up to eleven.

Michelle breaks down the connection between histamine intolerance, gut health, and anxiety, explaining why some people are naturally more reactive to foods, environments, or even stress. She and Don explore how histamine issues often go misdiagnosed, how nervous system regulation impacts digestion and inflammation, and what recovery looks like for people who feel “wired and tired” all the time.

They also tackle the emotional side of healing, the frustration of doing everything “right” and still feeling off, and share realistic steps to calm the body, balance the mind, and rebuild trust in your system.
