Listen Later

Are you overlooking one of the most important signs of your overall health? In this episode of the RunDNA Podcast, host Doug Adams sits down with Dr. Courtney Conley-internationally recognized foot and gait expert, and founder of Gait Happens-to reveal why your gait (the way you walk and run) could be the key to unlocking pain-free movement and long-term wellness.


Dr. Conley shares practical tips for improving your foot health, explains why your gait is more than just a way of moving, and offers simple, actionable steps anyone can take-like walking barefoot for just five minutes a day-to boost performance and prevent injury.


What you’ll learn:


- Why healthy feet are the foundation for a healthy body

- How your gait can predict future health risks and longevity

- Easy habits to improve your movement, no matter your age or activity level

- Why efficiency-not perfection-is the goal for lifelong movement

- The power of community and ongoing education in staying healthy


Plus, get an inside look at the upcoming Foot Fest event, dedicated to foot health, gait education, and supporting Alzheimer’s research.
