The Devil Really Does Wear Prada: How Footwear Impacts Your Health
July 30, 2025 • Season 3: Episode 32
Dr. Holly Thacker takes listeners on a fascinating journey through the often-overlooked world of women's foot health in this Speaking of Women's Health Podcast episode. Drawing from both professional expertise and personal experience, she reveals why those 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 120 muscles in each foot deserve much more attention than they typically receive.
Did you know that one in three women over 65 experiences foot pain, and a staggering 87% of Americans will have painful feet at some point? Dr. Thacker doesn't just share statistics – she connects the dots between today's footwear choices and tomorrow's mobility issues. From her own collection of stilettos to practical advice on preventing common conditions like bunions, plantar fasciitis, and hammer toes, this episode delivers actionable insights without sacrificing style.
