1:19 pm
>> your feet from my position are your postural home. your body touches the ground and the rest of your body stacks up against it. in a certain sense, how well your feet may contact the ground and how well they resist gravity sets up what happens in your knees, hips, spine, all the way through your body. in point of fact, no one really pays that much attention to them until they become a problem. by that time, it's a little late. when they start to hurt, everything start to hurt. your whole mind-set gets around how can you get comfortable from that end up. they are an amazing device. they are built somewhat like an all-terrain vehicle. they enable you to walk up hill, downhill, cobblestones, beaches, on solid surfaces. they make these adjustments in just a matter of a split second.
1:20 pm
they enable you to keep yourself upright while you do that. also, they are this wonderful shock absorption system that lets you take the impact of leaping, jumping, running, playing basketball, doing all these amazing things on tiny bones. when you think, one-quarter of the bones in your body are in your feet. >> i see you eyeing my feet. you're wondering what kind of shoes am i wearing and why am i stuffing them into these. >> you are stuffing them into this wonderful shoe, which is great. from impact you cram all your toes, widest part of the foot into a point. this end, the most resistant part, the heel, you balance on a pin. this part that takes impact and enable your body to deal with shock you put it here.
1:21 pm
when you watch a woman wearing love lovely heels like this, you'll see it vibrate. >> rock back and forth to find the center. >> your body would know where the ground was here. now you've taken edges and your body is figuring out a way to negotiate. this base you're stepping on is safe, can i commit weight to it. you're making the rest of your leg do a lot of work. >> what i did to my feet the rest of my body. toe whisperer is a great title and serves you well. you do more than that. what you did was actually tell me how my body was stacking up against my feet and told me future problems that could happen if i didn't correct what was already happening in my walk, stance, sat and how i laid down even. why don't you talk about that. >> to a certain extent, the way i look at your body is i'm sort
1:22 pm
of the ghost of christmas future. lie at your story and how your body would have evolved at this point and left unchanged what your future is going to be like. to a certain extent, the sins of your youth will become the pains you'll have in your old age. i'm there to help you write a better chapter. so my job is to sort of see patterns your body is exhibiting. think of it also, your body is always trying to make the best deal it can with the deck it's been dealt. so your body is doing things in terms of how you sit and trying to adapt to that. it will do that for a while. what happens is over time that adaptation, your body, to make itself more comfortable, becomes a problem -- >> somewhere else in the body. >> exactly. >> when you asked me to walk around the table. you said to me, you have three ribs out and your shoulder is
1:23 pm
bothering you. i said oh, my gosh, amazing you notice my shoulder is bothering me. when i got off your table, it was the first time in years. quickly tell me what this is. >> a type of bodywork that works with the body's natural mechanisms of self-correction. in a a sense ortho-bionomy works with your nervous system, allows you to reach behind your back and clasp your hands, tells your body where it is in space. we work with that to negotiate change. the thing pout that is i'm not imposing it against your will but acting as a mirror to your nervous system but are you aware your zipper is undone. by playing back the pattern that
1:24 pm
exists, your nervous system gets to see a view from another perspective and makes the self-collection. i didn't realize what was happening. thank you for telling me. >> that's exactly what you did to my feet. i will never, ever look at feet the same way again, ever. thank you so much for being here. >> you're so welcome. >> up next, ask carol. "ask car" (dad) well, we've been thinking about it and we're just not sure.

today's "ask carol" question comes from janet. welcome back. today's ask carol question comes from janet. she asks, how do you handle eating or cooking out if your husband wants to eat one way, not so healthy, and you want to eat another way, more healthy. first let's answer about dining
1:28 pm
out. i can eat anywhere and eat healthy and clean as long as food is fresh. seared fish, oyster, clam, seviches and salad with raw food for desert. there's always one or the other on any menu in any restaurant. you can do steaks and seared fish. eating out is the easy part. the only concession i make is bring my own olive oil dressing in my own bottle which is easy to carry if you have a purse. the reason i do this is bottle dressing is a huge source of calories and i find it unhealthy. eating at home is not that complicated. it's only complicated because you think it is. make sure the refrigerator is stuffed with the things you like to eat. i make sure at the beginning, salsas, guacamole, cheeses, all bought, crackers and fruit chosen. with my food done and stored, then i can focus on him.
1:29 pm
the truth of the matter is, my boyfriend ends up eating my good food because it's what i have laying around. he's not so crazy about the chips i have because they are raw. that's because they are my chips and the one i choose. for your husband, just involve him in the process of choosing the foods you have around. you can always mix in some unhealthier foods later like potatoes cooked or veges steamed, whatever. as long as the base is healthy and snacks are healthy, you can mix in a little bit of cooked food, by the way, if you search raw food on your computer, you will find an abundance of deserts, snacks, chips and all kind of stuff. just have fun. choose the ones you like. enjoy yourself picking. remember, you won't like everything, kind of like cooked food that way. i go with the old adage. if you want to do it, you'll find a way. thanks, janet. don't forget, if you have a

question you'd like took ask me, send it my way on twitter or facebook. that's it for today. thanks for joining me. until next time, i hope you're learning to be more of "a healthy you." fox news alert, one person in custody, a suspect taken into custody there at overland park. multiple shootings at a jewish community center in kansas. at least one person killed and a second in critical condition after a gunman opened fire outside the jewish community center of greater kansas city in overland park, which is near kansas city as children were auditioning for a talent competition. the shooter apparently moved to an assisted living center blocks away called village shalom. that facility has been taken off lockdown. wi
