The Matter of the Heart - Dr. Robert Weil Sports Podiatrist

In many spiritual traditions, it is believed that the body and soul are connected and even embodied in the soles of the feet. How can we nurture our feet that are often taken for granted? How can we nurture all the nerve endings emanating from our feet? Dr. Robert Weil discusses with host Carol Olivia so many aspects of this very important part of our body that touches Mother Earth every second of the day.  How can a podiatrist diagnose your feet especially if there is any potential for diabetes. Do you have numbness on the bottom of your foot, pain, a burning sensation or cracking of the skin on the sole of your foot? There is so much information that Dr. Weil shares. How do you know that you are wearing the correct shoe? Do you get measured correctly? How does obesity especially in children enhance the misalignment of the body? What happens to the child's blood pressure, his heart and is the child a candidate for bullying in school?  Dr. Weil tells us that 50% of the population are not fit properly with their shoes. What is reflexology? How can it help with the total well being of the foot as well as nurturing different parts of the organs? Why are high heels so damaging to the alignment of the body? How does the technological culture affect the strength and nourishment of the foot? Why should there be a cap on hours that a child spends on the computer and cell phone? Is outside activity becoming a rarity because of the engagement of the "screen?"
How does exercise such as walking help the structure of the foot and how does it help to quiet the mind? Dr. Weil tells us to fuel the. body, eat proper foods and keep active! This podcast will give you food for thought for the regimen of your feet, how to nurture them and to never take them for granted. Carol Olivia the host of The Matter of the Heart reminds us to connect to this part of the body either by visiting a reflexologist, walking or soaking your feet  with an essential oil. Enjoy this podcast and learn to be kind to your feet!
