It's that time of the week for another fatal convenience.

This is a bite-sized segment that addresses some of society's fatal

conveniences and the steps you can take to avoid becoming a victim of them.

I define fatal conveniences as the things we may be doing because the world we live in

makes us believe we have to. Tap water, shampoo, sunglasses, food.

I dive into the hidden truths behind some of our everyday choices that could not only be harming us, but even

killing us.

So let's dive in.

Hey everybody, welcome to the show.

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of fatal conveniences.

This one is all about drum roll wearing shoes. This one I actually practice and I've been practicing

for probably about 15 years discarding shoes pretty much exclusively all throughout the day. I basically don't

wear anything. If I'm running around on rocks or if I know that there's sticks around that have poked me

I've definitely had those issues but we need to get back to the actual articulation of our shoes

See the thing is each foot is made up of 26 bones, 30 joints, and more than a

hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments, all in our feet and we're smashing this into shoes that are largely

not allowing our feet to spread to articulate and way way too much cushion and all of that trying to protect us. But then here's the thing,

when you use shoes that are creating all this dependence, your gate patterns change.

So you're not running correctly anymore.

Your heel striking, which then can slam the joint,

the knee joint, the hip joint, and into the back.

When you take shoes off, more often you bounce off the bottom pad of your feet.
