A Holistic Approach to Foot Health: Gourgen Gevorgyan and Melker Svärd

This episode was a bit different, expanding the concept of health beyond nutrition. I was joined by Gourgen and Melker, two feet experts who blew me away with their knowledge and expertise. Proper foot health is something that is not often discussed.

Gourgen, with a Sport Science background, is an elite Olympic Weightlifter and has taught fitness professionals for over a decade. Recognized globally for expertise in modern foot issues, he's driven by a passion for human movement. Currently, he’s guiding a groundbreaking study on foot shapes and the impact of contemporary shoes on human performance sustainability.

Melker has a background as an elite athlete playing tennis combined with passion for holistic health, creating things that are positive for active people is close to his heart. Working towards change is not limited to Wyde Footwear, but also in the collaborative non-profit organization The Shoe Effect together with My Foot Function.
