This week, Aly sits down with Andy Bryant, clinical podiatrist and professional educator at the Foot Collective. Together, they take a deep dive into natural, functional foot health. They unpack the extraordinary complexity of the foot and reveal why years spent in conventional footwear may be quietly working against the body.Andy brings 26 years of clinical experience and his own personal foot health journey to the conversation. The good news he brings is that you can actually restore strength, mobility, and sensation to your feet. Andy shares his insights from navigating the transition to minimal footwear and understanding the Foot Collective's five Fs for shoe selection, to addressing common conditions like bunions and heel pain with at-home solutions. Aly and Andy also discuss the body-wide ripple effects of foot neglect and point listeners toward accessible programs designed to build lasting results.Connect with Andy Instagram: andybryant_podiatristGet 15% off The Foot Collective's SoleMate Kit and their online education programs.
