episode 275 – why your feet hurt (and what it’s really telling you about your body)

back pain, knee aches, plantar fasciitis, shoulder tension — in the second half of life, these aches show up more than ever. but here’s the truth: your body is a linked chain. if your feet are unstable, your glutes aren’t firing, or your shoes are working against you, the pain doesn’t stay put — it travels.

in this episode, heather breaks down:

why foot health is the foundation for longevity and movement

how weak glutes + quad dominance lead to lower back pain

the two simple glute exercises you can do bedside every morning

why “ugly shoes” may save your body more than the cute ones

the benefits of going barefoot (and when not to)

this conversation isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about structure, mobility, and making smart choices that keep you strong in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.
