The Shocking Truth About Shoes, Balance & Brain Health | SNH Podcast #139


Listen Later

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Scott Sherr sits down with performance coach Josh Holland for a mind-blowing deep dive into foot health, balance, and longevity.

Most people obsess over biohacks, supplements, and high-tech gear… but almost nobody talks about the foundation of health: your feet.

From barefoot training and toe strength to floor sitting, proprioception, and play, Josh reveals why your feet are the ultimate biohack for both lifespan and healthspan. Discover how strengthening your toes can prevent falls, sharpen your brain, and even deepen your human connections.

Join us as we explore:

  • Why weak toes are a hidden risk factor for aging

  • The barefoot shoe study that showed a 57% increase in strength

  • How floor sitting rewires your hips, balance, and posture

  • "Foot mojo" and how to reconnect with your body through play

  • Why kids intuitively move better than adults — and what we can learn from them

This episode is for you if:

  • You want practical, low-cost tools to improve your healthspan

  • You're curious about barefoot training, grounding, and proprioception

  • You've ever wondered if shoes are helping or harming your body

  • You want to laugh, learn, and rethink the way you move every day
