The Natural Guide to Optimal Foot Health with Dr. Ray McClanahan

Text us a comment or question!My guest this week on the Over 50 Health & Wellness show is Dr Ray McClanahan.  In his 26 years as a podiatrist, Dr. Ray has learned that most foot problems can be corrected by restoring natural foot form and function. In addition to his private practice Northwest Foot and Ankle in Portland OR, he is also the inventor of Correct Toes, which are silicone toe spacers designed to help the foot rehabilitate from the negative effects of conventionally shaped footwear.  Dr Ray is also an active runner and athlete. In 1999, he finished 14th in the U.S. National Men’s Cross-Country Championships and had a near Olympic Trials qualifying 5,000-meter mark of 13:56 in 2000. He then qualified for the World Duathlon Championships in 2001.  Join us this week as Dr Ray talks makes a case against conventional footwear and what we can do to restore our feet back to optimal health.   We mentioned the following resources in this episode: Correct Toes Website - www.correcttoes.comNorthwest Foot & Ankle - www.nwfootankle.comInstagram – @correcttoesFacebook – @correcttoesTwitter - @correcttoesFull Article - Dr William Rossi – Why Shoes Make “Normal” Gait Impossiblehttps://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/rossiWhyShoesMakeNormalGaitImpossible.pdfArticle - Craig Richards, Is Your Prescription of Distance Running Shoes Evidence Based?https://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/is-your-prescription-of-distance-running-shoes-evidence-based/Video – Pronation Versus Overpronationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-g8-D_1VrQArticle – Dr. Phil Hoffman – Bare Feet Versus Shoe Culturehttps://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/the-worlds-healthiest-feet-are-the-ones-without-shoes/Video – Bunion Stretchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Ov6LMISvUFacebook Group - Healthy Feet Alliancehttps://www.facebook.com/healthyfeetallianceVideo - Foot Strengthening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4_d-Ofm0AcCorrectToes  – Articles & Studieshttps://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/articles-studies/CorrectToes Videos - Foot Help Video Library https://www.correcttoes.com/foot-help/video-library/ 🎉 The PrimeForge App is officially here!
