Robert Fliri, an Italian designer and innovator in footwear design, shares his journey of reconnecting with nature and developing the concept of natural footwear. He grew up in the mountains, surrounded by nature, and was always drawn to technology and mechanical engineering. However, he felt a disconnect when he entered the world of design and decided to create a footwear prototype that would allow him to feel the ground like he was barefoot but with protection. This led to the development of Vibram FiveFingers, a glove-like shoe that revolutionized the way people think about footwear. The conversation explores the journey of Vibram's FiveFingers shoes and the natural foot movement. Robert Fliri, a product developer at Vibram, discusses the importance of finding balance in movement and not pushing oneself beyond their limits. He emphasizes the idea of using footwear as tools to extend human capabilities, but also recognizes the value of the human foot as the perfect tool for running and walking. The conversation delves into the initial response to FiveFingers, the challenges faced in bringing the product to market, and the controversy surrounding the health benefits of the shoe. It also touches on the need for proper education and a gradual transition when adopting a natural footwear approach. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the future of the natural foot movement and the potential for wider public adoption.

Katy Bowman discusses her new book, 'My Perfect Movement Plan: The Move Your DNA All Day Workbook' and the concept of a movement diet. She explains that the book introduces the concept of movement nutrition and provides a framework for building a comprehensive movement plan. The movement diet is similar to a food diet, with movement calories representing the volume of movement, movement macros representing the larger whole body shapes, and movement micros representing the smaller movements of the body. Bowman emphasizes the importance of considering purposeful, functional, and meaningful movement in the movement plan, and introduces the SLOTH time budget model to help categorize movements into different domains. The conversation covers various topics related to movement, sleep, and navigating the landscape of health and fitness advice. Jim and Katy discuss the importance of movement in daily life and how it can be incorporated into different activities. They also explore the impact of sleep on movement and the role of pressure in our bodies. They emphasize the need for intentionality and deeper engagement with information, rather than just consuming it passively. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the power of handwriting and the benefits of taking a slower approach to learning and implementing new practices.  You can find Katy's book at her website Here: Follow her YouTube page Here:   TFC Helpful Links: Free Training Explorer Membership Free Ebook (The Guide To Foot Freedom) Shop TFC tools and training (Use the code R2E10 to save 10%) Become A TFC Athlete TFC Pro Directory Natural Footwear Finder  Fountain - Earn money while you listen to our podcast Follow us: Instagram TikTok YouTube Facebook Music:Love Frequency - Roze SoundLost To The Siren - Makenna Susan   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Background 04:05 Overview of My Perfect Movement Plan 31:13 Categorizing Movements with the SLOTH Time Budget Model 36:06 Teaching Movement and Incorporating it into Daily Life 38:56 The Role of Pressure in Our Bodies 50:30 Navigating the Landscape of Health and Fitness Advice 59:03 The Power of Handwriting and Slower Learning

In this conversation, natural podiatrists Andy Bryant and Rina Harris discuss how their perspectives on podiatry have evolved over the past 20-25 years since their time in podiatry school. They reflect on the traditional teachings they received and how they now see things differently. They touch on topics such as the role of genetics in foot conditions, the emphasis on biomechanics and pronation, the belief that feet are inherently weak and need support, and the importance of foot shape and footwear. They also discuss the shift towards a more holistic and preventative approach to foot health, focusing on function and movement variability. They highlight the importance of considering the whole body and other factors that contribute to foot health, such as nutrition and lifestyle. They conclude by discussing the characteristics of a healthy foot and the importance of sensory awareness and foot strength. Follow Andy on Instagram here.Follow Rina on Instagram here.
