In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Galahad Clark, founder and CEO of Vivobarefoot, to explore how modern life has quietly reshaped the human body.
Galahad shares how contemporary footwear design and our growing physical disconnection from natural environments have altered the way we walk, stand, and move through the world — often at the expense of long-term health. Drawing from evolutionary biology, indigenous wisdom, and personal experience, he makes the case for “rewilding” not just our feet, but our relationship to our bodies and the planet.
Rather than prescribing rigid rules, this conversation invites curiosity about movement, physical signals, and the small choices that shape our health.
