Welcome to the Runners Connect, Run to the Top Podcast, where it's all about learning from the best minds in the sport so you can train smarter, stay healthy, and run faster now.

And now your host, Tina Muir.

Hello, this is Tina Muir and I would like to welcome you to another episode of the Runners Connect Run to the

Top Podcast.

I don't know about you, but I try to pride myself on being honest.

I try to share my feelings and talk about things as much as possible

to make sure everyone knows I am only human. I'm not interested in coming

across as perfect. I love talking to other people who have a similar kind of

mindset and my guest today is one of those people. He's not interested in telling you what you want to hear,

but instead using his knowledge as a doctor to teach you about how to make yourself healthy

rather than just giving you something to treat the symptoms but never really addressing

the true source of the problem. Today I'm talking to Steve Gangeme also known as the

sock dog. He is a doctor who focuses on holistic health care, focusing on the entire body rather than just the areas that are giving you trouble, to look at why you are having an issue to prevent it from happening again.

When I say sock doc, it's not what you think.

He has completed 16 Iron Man's and has been a competitive triathlete and runner for most of his life.

Therefore he understands runners pretty well. He's had

training in functional neurology, biochemistry, acupressure, applied kinesiology,

and dietary and lifestyle medication methods.

Just to warn you, we did drop the call in the middle,

but don't worry, we jump right back in there to get back to the conversation

and continue our learning.

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.
