Because of sedentary lifestyles and the rise of unnatural footwear, most people forget how much strong, functional feet impact overall performance, mobility, and joint health. In this episode, Dr. Dawn Olsen Figlo breaks down the fundamentals of foot health—from choosing the right footwear to understanding how your feet influence your knees, hips, and spine.
We also explore the science behind earthing (grounding), whether sleeping barefoot matters, and what people with cold feet should actually do. If you want to improve balance, reduce inflammation, or simply learn how to build healthier feet, this episode delivers the essentials.
