In this episode, Dr. Heather — Sports Chiropractor and movement specialist — breaks down the powerful connection between your gait, your nervous system, and your performance as a runner.
If you’ve ever dealt with recurring tightness, one-sided injuries, or that frustrating feeling that your stride is “off,” this conversation will finally give you clarity. Dr. Heather explains:
✅ What a gait analysis actually measures
✅ How your brain and muscles communicate during each stride
✅ Why small movement inefficiencies become bigger injuries
✅ The hidden imbalances most runners don’t know they have
✅ How correcting your gait can lead to better performance, smoother miles, and faster recovery
You’ll walk away understanding that your stride tells a story — and when you learn how to read it, you gain the power to run stronger, longer, and pain-free.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
