In this episode you’ll learn: What bunions really are — what’s structural, what’s functional, and what you can influence. The root causes of plantar fasciitis and why it’s often more than “tight calves.” How sensory stimulation changes foot mechanics and why waking up the small stabilizers of the foot is essential for healing. Daily essentials for bunion care: proper foot alignment, toe spacing, intrinsic muscle engagement, and how to strengthen the foot without overloading it. Daily essentials for plantar fasciitis: fascial release, surface variability, barefoot progression, and how to safely re-pattern gait to reduce strain on the heel and arch. What surfaces you stand and move on matter — and how textured stimulation products (like Naboso) can support recovery and long-term foot health.

0:07.0	How many years have I had this podcast?
0:09.0	You all, some of you have been with me from day one before it was even Meathead Hippie,
0:14.0	and I've never talked about the feet.
0:17.0	I mean, maybe I have, but not really.
0:19.0	I've never had a functional podiatrist come on and talk about

1:36.8	So her company Naboso is wonderful. I love their toes plays. We talk all about how to connect with
