Every Wednesday, we meet right here for real conversations about structure, longevity, fitness, and the tools that actually keep us moving forward in the second half of life. And today’s episode is one you don’t want to skip.
👟 Episode 275: Why Your Feet Hurt (and What It’s Really Telling You About Your Body)
Back pain, knee aches, plantar fasciitis, shoulder tension — these are the complaints I hear the most from women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. But here’s the truth no one talks about: pain doesn’t always come from where you feel it.
Your body is a chain.
When one link is weak, unstable, or misaligned — the rest of your body compensates. And more often than not, it starts with your feet.
Inside this episode we cover:
Why foot health is the foundation for longevity + movement
How weak glutes and quad dominance lead to lower back pain
The two bedside glute exercises you can do every morning in under 5 minutes
Why your “cute shoes” might be causing more harm than good (and what to wear instead)
The surprising benefits of going barefoot — and when not to
This conversation isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about structure, mobility, and making smart choices that will keep you strong for decades to come.
Why this matters in the second half of life
As we get older, aches and pains show up more often — but that doesn’t mean they’re “normal” or unavoidable.
With the right structure, stronger glutes, smarter shoes, and a little awareness of your foundation, you can reduce pain, prevent injury, and move with confidence.
