In this week's episode of the Restore To Explore Podcast, podiatrists Andy Bryant and Dr. Ray McClanahan dive deep into the topic of Natural Running & Mindful Movement. They draw from their own running experiences, sharing valuable lessons learned from injuries and the importance of setting realistic, achievable goals.

Additionally, the conversation delves into the mindful aspect of running, particularly in minimal shoes or barefoot, where every step becomes a conscious experience, focusing on the present moment rather than performance metrics.
