If you've ever stepped out of bed and felt that sharp, stabbing heel pain shoot through your foot… you’re not alone. Today’s episode kicks off Season 2, where we dive deep into one of the most common and misunderstood foot conditions:
Plantar Fasciitis.
In this episode, Sharon Miller — podiatrist, runner, and your resident foot expert — breaks down:
- What your plantar fascia actually is
- Why it becomes irritated, inflamed, or degenerative
- What’s happening under your heel when you feel that morning pain
- Why both runners and non-runners get plantar fasciitis
- The truth about heel spurs vs. plantar fasciitis
- How your foot absorbs 3–5× your body weight with every step
- Why ignoring heel pain can worsen your gait and cause new injuries
You’ll also hear a real patient story about “Sarah,” whose months of heel pain nearly stopped her from running — until she understood the root cause.
This episode sets the foundation for the entire season.
