Reverse your Foot Pain and Improve the Quality of your Life!
April is National Foot Awareness Month. On this show, you will learn cool new ways to take care of your feet from two of the world’s top podiatrists.
I was shocked to learn that 25% of Americans live with bunions. Many people do nothing about this painful condition which is genetic. Bunions and other foot issues interfere with your wellbeing and keep you from walking which has numerous health benefits. Walking improves heart health and blood sugar regulation, reduces joint pain, enhances memory, reduces your risk of Alzheimer’s disease, lowers stress, lowers breast cancer risk, strengthens your body, improves sleep, and boost weight loss and metabolism.
The good news is you can stop the suffering and walk pain free again. On today’s show you’ll learn exactly how to improve the health of your feet from Dr. Sarah Haller and Dr. Brad Schaffer. They have been treating some of the country's most extreme foot-related ailments on TLC's hit series, My Feet Are Killing Me. Today they share how to treat a variety of problems including hammertoes, warts, tumors and one of the most common and painful podiatric conditions – bunions. After years of seeing patients suffer with the painful and progressive deformity, the physicians are taking steps to build broader awareness of bunions and the fact that they can often be treated successfully with the most advanced treatment options.
It's going to be a great show that can help reverse your foot pain and improve the quality of your life!

Flip the Script on Aging
“Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person you always should have been.” -David Bowie
