This week, we welcome the incredible Andy Bryant, a podiatrist dedicated to helping people strengthen their feet and, in turn, their entire bodies. Andy takes a unique approach to podiatry, focusing on removing unnecessary supports like padding and lifts, allowing feet to regain their natural strength and function.
We dive into many aspects of this fascinating topic, starting with how Andy found his way into alternative podiatry and why caring for your feet is so important. As the foundation of the body, our feet deserve attention and training—and Andy shares compelling reasons to let them be free and strong!
We explore Andy’s philosophy, including the idea of strengthening rather than supporting, and the principle of "use it or lose it." Andy also introduces us to the SAID principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands) and its application to foot health. Our discussion covers posture, movement, transitioning to barefoot living, flat feet, injuries, trail running, toe splay, bunions, and much more.
It’s a jam-packed episode filled with valuable insights and practical tips. We hope you enjoy it!
