What if your feet don’t need more support, they just need to be stronger?

In this episode of The True Form Podcast, Jack sits down with Helen Halkias, a podiatrist with over 28 years of experience who made the bold shift from traditional orthotics to a functional, holistic approach to foot health.

Helen shares how chronic pain, recurring injuries, and over-reliance on orthotics inspired her to rethink everything she’d been taught. She now helps clients rebuild strength, awareness, and resilience from the ground up, literally.

You’ll learn:

Why traditional orthotics often mask, rather than fix, the real problem

The truth about pronation, foot alignment, and “flat feet”

How to safely transition to barefoot or minimalist shoes

Practical steps to strengthen your feet and improve balance

Why feeling the ground might just save your mobility as you age

This episode is about more than shoes; it’s about reconnecting with your body, building awareness, and trusting your natural design.
