there's actual research that shows if you do everything barefoot, like all the time,

full believer, all barefoot, you actually almost become weak in that sense. As soon as you

put on shoes, it's like your kryptonite. You're listening to the PJF podcast, a show dedicated

to decoding elite sports performance and fitness.

I'm Paul Fabrice, and I'm an NBA Strength and Conditioning and Performance Trainer.

If you want to become superhuman, take your fitness and take your sports performance to the

next level. This is the podcast for you. Let's do it.

All right. So let's dive straight in. You want to give us a quick background on who you are and

what you do? Absolutely. So Dr. Emily, functional podiatrist, human movement specialist,

I've been in the fitness industry for over 20 years.

I was a former competitive gymnast.

That's really how I got into my love for fascia training, body tension,

just body weight athlete kind of type training.

In pediatry, I take a very integrated perspective.

I actually get patients out of their orthotics, out of supportive shoes. I'm doing full movement assessments. Typically, I'm getting referrals where other

docs or professionals are like, this patient is not responding to what I'm giving them. Maybe it's

something with the way that the foot is relating to the ground.

And then I will take a look and I take a big sensory perspective at everything.

I feel that the foot is the gateway into the brain.

And that is a really big part of what just infiltrates into every aspect of how I approach movement and patients.

Awesome. Yeah. And so give the listeners a little background on your company. It's Naboso, right? Yeah. So I have a couple of those products. I have the insoles that I love with the texture. And then I have the mat as well. And I'm loving those products.

We use it with all of our MBA guys. We start off workouts barefoot on the mat and they really like it.
