116: Foot Pain Isn't Normal: What Aging Women Need to Know: With Podiatrist Dr. Emily Splichal

In this episode of the Girls Talk Healthy Aging Podcast, co-hosts Shawna Kaminski and Alli Kerr sit down with Dr. Emily Splichal, podiatrist, functional foot and movement specialist, global educator, author, and founder of Naboso, to talk about why healthy aging truly starts from the ground up. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Emily blends barefoot science, human performance, and neuroscience to help women move better, feel stronger, and stay active as they age. We ask all things feet — and uncover how foot pain, shoe choice, and poor foot function can impact balance, posture, strength, and even fall risk. In this episode, you'll learn: Why foot pain is not just "part of getting older" How your feet affect your entire body and movement patterns Common foot issues women experience as they age Simple foot exercises to improve strength, balance, and mobility How to choose the best shoes for your foot type and activity When barefoot training helps — and when it doesn't Innovative products designed to support healthier feet and better movement If you're an aging woman dealing with foot pain, balance issues, or simply want to stay strong and confident, this episode will change how you think about your feet forever. Because healthy aging doesn't start at your core — it starts at your feet. 🎧 Tune in and get grounded with us.
