Your Shoes Are Killing You
Greater Life
As an entrepreneur over 50, your time is just beginning… Live the Greater Life
Welcome to Monday…and if you’re reading this, the chances are my hilariously clickbaity title of this newsletter piqued your interest. (side note…piqued is a great word, isn’t it?)
Today is a short newsletter with an invitation to check out a short documentary.
First some backstory to the idea of murderous shoes.
What happens when you cut yourself? Over a period of days/weeks your body heals…there may be a small scar, depending on how severe the cut was, but within a short period you’re good to go, fully back in the game.
That’s fact 1. We are self-healing beings. If we create the conditions in which healing will occur…healing will occur.
Fact 2. I cannot get my kids to keep their shoes on. No matter where we are, invariably I look down and they’re there in bare feet or sodden socks. If you’ve ever been a parent, you may relate to my situation.
Could there be a connection between Fact 1 and Fact 2? Could the behaviour of my children be revealing a powerful truth? What if something as simple as taking off your shoes could have a dramatically beneficial impact on your health?
Well, that might not be so far-fetched. The science is pretty overwhelming on two things.
One – that inflammation is a major underlying cause of a lot of the diseases that afflict the Western world.

Two – that Grounding (getting your skin in contact with the earth) creates a clear reduction of inflammation in the body, as attested to by multiple peer-reviewed studies.
So today…maybe now…perhaps on your lunch break…or before your evening Netflix marathon…invest 15mins 20secs to discover for yourself the power of throwing off your shoes and getting your bare feet on the earth. That pain you’ve been feeling…that creeping chronic condition you’ve been trying to ignore…well you may just uncover a miraculous and utterly free panacea that changes everything.
HERE'S THE LINK to watch the short Grounding Documentary on YouTube.
Oh…and if it leaves you inspired to get outside and get your feet on the ground…how about you throw in a few dance moves while you’re there, while no one’s watching. It’ll be our little secret. ??
Have a great day.
