No shoes, no problem. The mind-body connection can become deeper when you weight train barefoot because you’re able to control how your weight is distributed more closely and efficiently. This is a helpful tool to improve your form and place your weight in your posterior chain. This is important for those looking to build their glutes and hamstrings rather than their quads. Hosts Allegra Paris and Dalton Evans discuss the benefits of working out barefoot and how workout shoes have become more focused on trends and less on the anatomy of the foot. They also weigh in on food chemicals, analyzing everything from what it is doing to us, their relationship to autoimmune diseases, and the difference between eating in Europe versus in the United States. 

Topics Discussed: 

- Take your shoes off and try squatting barefoot to see how it affects the way you are lifting

- The pros to training barefoot: increased mind-body connection, better form, training the posterior chain more efficiently

- Training shoes vs. running shoes; brands focusing more on trends and less on the e of the foot

- Food preservatives and chemicals: a lot of foods in the U.S. are stripped of vitamins and minerals
