Heel pain keeping you off your feet? You’ve probably heard “it’s plantar fasciitis,” but here’s the truth: only about 5% of people who think they have plantar fasciitis actually do.

In this episode, Dr. Clayton Derr sits down with Dr. Allison Bullinger, physical therapist and running specialist, to unpack the most common myths about heel pain. From expensive orthotics and steroid injections to stretches you found on Google, we break down what really works—and what doesn’t.

👉 You’ll learn:

• Why most heel pain isn’t plantar fasciitis

• The surprising role weakness plays in your pain

• Why steroids, ice bottles, and rolling are just short-term fixes

• The simple strengthening exercise you can start today to relieve pain

If you’ve been limping, stretching, and Googling for answers without relief, this episode will give you clarity and a plan to finally move forward—without unnecessary meds, injections, or surgeries.

In this explosive episode of Heal Without Harm, Dr. Clayton Dir sits down with Dr. Teralyn Sell and Therapist Jenn Schmitz, co-hosts of The Gaslit Truth, to expose one of the biggest myths in mental health—the so-called chemical imbalance theory. 🧠💊

The shocking truth? It was never proven. Yet it became Big Pharma’s perfect marketing hook to sell billions in psychiatric medications—meds that can trigger dependency, withdrawal, and serious long-term health impacts.

Through personal stories and expert insights, this tough conversation reveals how the system really works—and who it serves. This isn’t just another episode—it’s about reclaiming your health, your autonomy, and your future. 🌱✨

🔑 4 Key Takeaways

• 🧪 The “chemical imbalance” theory was marketing—not science.

• 💊 Psychiatric meds can cause dependency, withdrawal, and chronic health issues.

• 🗣 Mental health care often omits true informed consent.

• 🌿 Holistic, individualized healing offers a powerful alternative to lifelong medication.
