Stuart Wakefield - Exploring Barefoot Health and Controversial Sports Decisions - Episode #197
Brace yourselves as we welcome Stuart Wakefield, the regional director of Barefoot Canada and a registered kinesiologist, who's on a mission to educate us about the monumental role barefoot health plays in our overall well-being. We'll debunk some myths and misconceptions about cushioned shoes and orthotics, and explore the potential hazards they pose. Strategically, we'll reveal the benefits of barefoot training and how it can revolutionize your interaction with the ground, enhance efficient impact loading, and contribute to injury prevention.
We're not stopping there, though! Strap in as we dive into the world of sports, casting our critical eye over the NHL's controversial decision to remove pride tape and jerseys from games - and saluting Conor McDavid and Jack Hughes for standing their ground. Lastly, we'll examine the return of Conor McGregor to the UFC and reflect on the implications of the UFC's split with the USADA. This episode is a treasure trove of information for athletes, sports enthusiasts, or anyone curious about the intersection of sport, health, and fitness. It's time to rethink the ground beneath our feet - literally!
