Description
Modern shoes might be stylish, but are they destroying your feet?
In this episode of The True Form Podcast, I’m joined by Jamie and Faye, founders of BPRIMAL, a barefoot footwear company dedicated to helping people restore natural movement, foot strength, and whole-body alignment—starting from the ground up.
We break down the surprising impact that conventional shoes have on your body, what “foot-shaped shoes” actually mean, and how to transition safely into barefoot-style footwear. Also joining us is Mick, a passionate advocate for natural movement, who shares his own powerful journey of foot health transformation.

Most people don't struggle because they lack motivation. They struggle because they've been given the wrong approach, too much focus on extremes, not enough on sustainability.
True Form Coaching is different.
This isn't a generic program. It's personal coaching built around you, your schedule, your goals, your life. Together, we work across three areas that drive real, lasting change:
Mind - how you think, focus, and manage stress
Body - how you train, move, and fuel yourself
Identity - who you become through the process
