About this listen

What do feet, fascia, and forensics have in common? For Dr. Emily Splichal, they’re all part of a powerful journey that redefined modern movement and human health.

In this debut episode, Dr. Emily shares how her early days as a barefoot gymnast, a frustrated forensic scientist, and a passionate fitness trainer led to the creation of her unique specialty: functional podiatry. You'll learn how she challenged traditional medicine, embraced barefoot science, and built a practice rooted in movement, memory, and emotional regulation.

Key themes include:

  • Why sensory stimulation is the missing link in longevity
  • How our feet shape movement, mood, and memory
  • The deep mind-body connection behind chronic pain and healing

This is more than a podcast about feet — it’s about anchoring into your body so you can rise into your fullest self.

Are you ready to Root to Rise?
