• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for that glorious introduction. How are
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you doing well? You know I would. I'll be honest
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: with you Uh, I've made mistakes with my feet, Dr Raglan,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: And I know that's not the first time you've heard this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: You you went into a business where you, like you said,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you're the foundation of what you're doing. Life is how
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you stand, how you walk, how you present yourself when
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you walk into a room and a lot of people
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: are walking around with very painful feet, am I correct? Absolutely?
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Not only they're they're walking around with painful, embarrassing looking feet,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: um and uh. And so what I found very early
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on in my studies was that, um, especially African American women,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: they wanted to correct these problems, but they didn't just
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: want to get rid of the pain. They wanted the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: feat to be beautiful too. So that was my AHA moment,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and I just decided that, no, this is what I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was going to do. I'm going to focus on this
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: core group of UH of African American women or women
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of color, and I'm going to hone my skills in
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: correcting Bunning's hammer toes getting rid of those those unsightly corns.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But I'm not going to just get rid of him,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to just read you of the pain.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I'm also going to do it with an aesthetic result.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: This is a very serious subject that we're talking about.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I brought on to just talk about her career, but
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: more importantly to give an outlet because a lot of people,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: like I said, uh, walking in pain, and they're walking
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in pain. My father, I always remember my father, uh
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, you know, just being honest. Was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I just see him with these huge coins on his
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: toes and U and I when I look back now,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine how much pain he was in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: because it was just it was just just outrageously big.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But he put his shows on his shoes own and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: walk out, and I'm she was very uncomfortable. Correct, Yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but guess what rashan? For men? You guys, haven't you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: do have a little bit of an option? I felt.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I I sold shoes for many years before I even
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: thought about, um becoming a doctor and so, and I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: sold men and women's shoes, so men can get wider
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: with even in your higher in shoes. Women women, on
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the other hand, when you start getting into these wide
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: wi the shoes just become uglier and uglier, so it
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: almost becomes not an option for them. So, um, even
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: though like you said, I'm sure you know your father
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: did experience some discomfort with the corns that he had
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: on his feet. He did have options where he could
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: go and get these shoes and that e with or
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: double E or tripoli or even a quatruple e with
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: where women just don't have that option, and if they
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: do have the option, it's just something that they are
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: not willing to do. They don't want to go there.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You absolutely are telling the truth. I wear size twelve
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: shoe and I gotta and it gave me an option
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to have a wide and I gotta watch you and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: because I know if I get it tight, that's what
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: ruined I feet. When I was a teenager and going
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: into college, I will really tight, narrow shoes and they
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: were pointy toed, and I ignored the pain. I ignored
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: my shoe rubbing against rubbing up against the side of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: my foot. I ignored the fact that my my baby
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: toe was collapsing and as it was collapsing underneath because
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it was pointy toe, so it was rubbing up against him.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But guess what, everybody was complimenting me on my shoes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Everybody those shoes shoes. Yeah, but did you take it?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Did you ever take your foot out of the slipper,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I'm telling doctor I took it out and put it
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: right back in there because my ego was being fed
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: by people telling me it looked good, not the pain
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and not not not the trouble. But I really want
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to talk about it because your brand is Fixed your Feet,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and it focuses on surgical corrections of painful and embarrassing,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you know the former's even bunyans and hambitas. Can you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: tell us how did you get in this business? Because
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know, we we we hear different professions. We hear nurses,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: we hear you know, O B G y ends, we
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: hear all different. But but to get into the businesses
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you're in, how did that happen? And where did you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: go to school? Well? Um, well, first of all the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: school that I attended undergrad I went to University of Maryland,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and then I did five years in between Maryland and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I did a little interrom before I went to my
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: p dietary medical school. Um, I did some research at
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the National Institutes of Health and I agent dermatology, so
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I'm burst in skin. Um. And then and then that's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: when I decided that yeah, you know, I'm going I'm
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: going to definitely move forward with medical school. And I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: wound up at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and then I did a ricor UH surgical UH program
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: with a with a hospital that is a wild cornell
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Um Medical School affiliate. And then but but what really
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: tifted you in that direction? Because you have options? You know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you're talented, you're educated, But what you know because everybody
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: has a choice to make it. Like I said, I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: went to college and I wanted to be an engineer,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and then I drifted between different majors and I wound
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: up falling with my natural love and skill was mathematics,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and I minded it on in sociology and I graduated,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and that was really the right direction for me to go,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: even though I thought engineer was the direction that I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to go. Did you go in college? Would go
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: into college thinking about this direction? Or at what point
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of the light bulb went out? And when I went
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: out and went above your head and said this is
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: where you should be pointing? Well, I knew I was
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: going to become a doctor. Um. Yeah, there was a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: lot of things in health care I had experienced. So
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I had experienced, Now what I looked back on it
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: was discrimination in the health care system. I didn't know
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: how to explain it back then, but now I know
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: how to articulate it. And that's exactly what was happening
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to me. So I wanted to become a doctor because
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I wanted to know what the doctors knew. Um, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: as I said, and undergraduate, I started doing research at
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the National Institute to Health in dermatology. So I thought
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I was going to be a dermatologist and so um.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: But I kept getting these applications from dietary school, not
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: knowing what it was. And I was and I would
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: throw away the applications and one of my friends stopped
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: by the lab as I was about to toss another
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: application in the garbage, and she stopped me and says,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: what are you doing. Why are you throwing that away?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And I'm like what And she's like, that's medical school
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, what is it? And she didn't.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: She explained to me, you know, it's medicine of the foot,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and she kind of like broke it down from me.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: She does, you know that there's hair, skin, and nails
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: on the foot, So if you want to sub specialize
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in dermatology on the foot. You can do that. And
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I thought that that nohom was kind of cool because
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I like, I like the idea of having like a
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: niche practice. I like, you know, being you know, real
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: specific and being like that that top notch specialist. So
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I thought I was going to specialize in dermatology revolved
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: around the foot. Then I get to me. Then I
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: get into podiatric medical school and I realized there's this
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: whole sturgical aspect which is basically is we're doing surgery
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of the bones, so it's basically orthopedic surgery. And I'm
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: just like, holy guacamole, we got chipps. I'm like, my
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: hands are very dextrous, I am very good at reproducing results.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And I and when I found out that there was
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: this whole, big, huge surgical aspect, I was just like,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: this is what I want to do. Because when I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was living in the dorms, some ladies would stop me
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: all the time and say, hey, hey, and this is
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: me as a student. I'm like a first year, second
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: year student, like, hey, can you get rid of this
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: this corn right here? But I wanted to be done
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: cosmetically because they had seen the results of their friends,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: or their mom, or their auntie or their cousins, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: they didn't want that result. And I kept hearing this
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: over and over again the route UH throughout medical school.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And then you know, and then I started seeing what
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: results looked like. UM, when I was in my residency program,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and I would compare what I would see on Caucasian
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: skin versus black skin, and I would and I would
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: see that those results did not translate over to the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: black skin. Maybe we scar differently. So I said, you know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you gotta think outside the box. You know, there's gotta
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: be a better way to do this so we can
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: get better results on people of color. And so with
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: my dermatological background, I was like, okay, there are ways
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the future the skin um, you know thinks more like
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a plastic surgeon working on one space. I just said,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: there's gotta be you know, different ways the clothes and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: maybe there's different approaches the the scars aren't visibly noticeable
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to the eyes. Maybe we can hide the cars. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: because I was afforded the opportunity to be in such
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a great residency program and scrub in with literally hundreds
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and hundreds of different surgeons, I got to see people
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: do things so many different ways. So I journaled the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: techniques that I thought were the most optimal, and then
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I put those things together and then I put a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: little bit of my special sauce on it, and and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: then that's how I came up with my petty plastic
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Tierra too technique. UM, and so yes, that's that's basically. UM,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: that's basically how I how I came up with with
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the practice. And like I said, I started to practice
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to target the specific demographic with in mind, keeping in
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: mind that the procedures are for everybody. But I felt
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: like this specific demographic was being dismissed. They weren't being
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: heard and they weren't receiving the services that they deserve.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Right right now, when you when you talk about trying
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to do something, I have to say this technique, was
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: it the new technique? Was it a technique that you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: figured out? And then when you when you started applanet
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that that other fellow doctors in your industry questioned the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: technique or felt there was some type of fad or
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: some type of you know, hype thing that you would
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you would you put in place? What was the reaction?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: So you know, honestly, Rashan. I don't really pay attention
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to what the what the other people what they're thinking,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: because I know that I am doing something with reproducible
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: results with UH, with high satisfy, with a very high
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: satisfaction rate UM for over fifteen years. So so when
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: if I have maysayers that don't understand my demographic and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: that have been giving my demographic, the demographic that I'm
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: targeting less than what they deserve, and if they are
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: snubbing their noses at my technique, I don't have time
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to pay attention to that. UM. What I do know
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: is that my h that I have taken, like I said,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it's been UH. The everything about the technique is not
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: completely new, but there are aspects of it that are
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: completely new. So I've taken, like I said, different things.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I saw one person do you think one thing? Display
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: another person do something another way, and I combine some
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of those things together, and like I said, then I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: put them. Then as I started perfecting the technique, I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: started changing things and tweaking it and just getting it
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: so that I can get the best result possible for
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: these patients. Here's a question, Dr Rag. Because I grew
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: up with six sisters. And I'm not saying I'm a
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: female expert, but I had six of them in my life,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and I guess what they were very opinion they did
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and five of them were older than me, so they
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: did steer my my vision. When it comes to high heels,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: high heels safe to wear all the time or is
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: there a certain age less weight limits for high heels?
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Talk about the high heels phenomenon because they're not going away?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Is a part of the fashion culture? Is there? And uh,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't used the word danger, but are they safe
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to wear all the time? I'm gonna talk about high
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: heels like like one would talk about alcohol. Okay, where
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: your high heels responsibly? So so so, and I'm saying that
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you you should not be in a pair of five
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in the lettos eight hours strength. That's you know, that's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: bad form, that's bad decorum for the foot. Um. But
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: if you know, if you're having a night out and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you want to look extra and you are able to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: tolerate walking around in those shoes, by all means you
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I think that express yourself. You know, go ahead, you
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: be you, Um, But like I said, it's not something
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: for you to stand around in all day long for
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: eight hours. If you're going to wear heels like you
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: should always bring a pair of safety shoes with you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: so that you can give your foot a break from
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: being in that declinated angle for so long. Um And
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and if you start to feel pain like you shouldn't
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: be feeling pain so like you were saying you would,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: you would feel the pain on the pinky toast so
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: fast pinky toast starts burning. It feels like it's about
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to catch on fire. You need to come out of
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: them and get into your safety ships because that is
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a point where your feet are literally talking to you
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and telling you I need the belief, Please get me
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: out of here. And that's that's true. What you're saying
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: is very true, very true. We ignore what our body
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: is telling us. We ignore our body talking to us.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I ignored it. And and that's why when I invited
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: you on the show. You know, my show is money
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: making Conversation Massiclass, because why do you have a foot doctor,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Because I know how my feet impact my life every day.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: You know, because of my feet, I have to soak
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: them once a month just to just I'm not going
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to any graphic details, but I have to take care
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of my feet periodically to make sure that I can
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: walk into shoes that I now for it myself because
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I'm smarter now. I know about width, I know about
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a round curve toe area, something that I didn't do
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: when I was younger. Because I and my shoes still
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: look smartly, they still look sportly. People just still compliment
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: compliment me on my shoes. But I didn't know now
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: what advice when you when you when you when people
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: come into your office, do you become a counselor a
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: person who give out advice? I know because because they
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: have just did take care of their feet after you
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: fix them correct. So you know, I've become a little
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: bit of everything. I'm. I'm an auntie, a sister, a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: best friend, UM all and a counselor, um their doctor,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: their surgeon. I'm all of these things. Because I wanted
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: women to come to a safe place. I wanted them
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to come someplace where they would get really good information.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna get They're going to be able
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to make a real good formed decision on whether or
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: not they should move forward with surgery. I'm going to
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: tell you if you even really need to have surgery.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: So I've actually and this is how you know, this
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: is how I make my bread and butter. I this
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: is I do not have a general um pedietary practice.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I make my bread and butter by doing those few
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: services that we announced earlier. And so if and and
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and I want to protect my patients from going to
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: a predatory doctor because some of these people come in
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: with their really great insurance. They don't even realize how
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: great their insurance is, but they might not have anything
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: that really needs to be done. And I don't want
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: them to have surgery regret. Or I don't want them
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to do a procedure that is at high risk and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: they have and they really don't have symptoms. So I'm
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: going to give my patients the best If I, if
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like you really need a surgery done, I'm
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: going to do I will do the procedure. If I
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: feel like you really do not need the procedure done,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you that now. I've even had
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: a case where I tried to talk the lady out
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: of the procedure, tried to She's like, no, you're gonna
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: come in here, You're gonna do everything. She basically told
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: me that, and I said, what I got frightened because
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I thought she was going to go to somebody else,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and I thought that they were going she was gonna
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: wind up with the result that she wasn't going to
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: be happy with. So I said, you know, I basically
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: told her to think about it. Call me back up.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Here's my cell phone number, call me, text me. I'll
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: if I don't answer the phone, text me. And she says,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I still want to do it. And that's when I said, okay,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I'll do it, you know. But then I read her
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the Riot Act said you know, I told her what
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: all her risk was. She understood that. But really, if
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I feel and and I think that when I tell patients, hey, look,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you really don't you really don't want to do that.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I'll do this thing over yere, But you really don't
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: need to have this sung and done. It doesn't hurt
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: you just have a little slight bump over there. It's
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and you can fit into your shoes. It's not an
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: issue for you. There's a lot of risk im buying
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: in surgery. Why would you put yourself at that risk?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: And you know, afterwards, they say thank you, dr, thank
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you for being so honest. This is why I started
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: this practice. I wanted to protect this this particular demographic
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: so people would not take advantage of them, and so
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: that they would get, like I said, the services and
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the results that they deserve. I'm speaking to Dr yunon
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the wragling about feet and then more importantly women feet,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: females who are out there trying to recover or trying
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to fix a problem that they created. This all stelf inflicted.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: At times, sometimes it's not. But in this case, summer
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: is coming. Dr Ragling, what can women do to make
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: sure they don't mess up? Or what can they do
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to keep their feet beautiful? You have to wear proper
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: fitting shoes. So it goes right back to you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: does it hurt. If it hurts in the store, it's
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: going to hurt outside the store. So can you say
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: that one time? Can you say that one more time
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you hurt me, it's gonna hurts in the store, It's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: going to hurt outside the stone. That's what's gonna happen.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: So uh, they'll play around with it. Um Now, I
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: would advise every woman and this is gonna you know,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: future on. In the future, I'm going to create a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: pair of shoe stretchers. But every woman should have their
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: own pair of shoe stretchers at home. And that's because
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you know, this way, you don't have to go to
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the shoe store. You'll you'll as soon as you get it.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't be breaking in the shoe. You're foot should
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: not be breaking in the shoe. Allow the shoe stretcher
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to do that job. You can put you can get
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: your you know those nice beautiful Italian or French design shoes.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: You can put them in the shoe stretcher. Lets them
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: sit in there for a week or so, and now
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: they're broken in. It's like somebody's been walking in them
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: straight for two you know, two weeks straight and now
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: they're broken at UM. So, like I said, the shoe
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: has to be comfortable. That's the that's the most important thing. UM.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Keeping your feet clean and dry, keeping UM, inspecting it daily. UM,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: making sure that you moisturize your foot daily. UM. Exfoliating
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: all the all the hard skin, densely exfoliating. Question here,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Dr Wraglan, because I you know, I've seen women with
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: band aids on the back of the heel on their toe. Okay,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: these are these are warning signs that this is a
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: bad shoe. Correct. I think that these are warning size
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and signs that it's an ill fitting shoe. So a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: lot of times if you have those band aids, or
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: if you have something that's in the back, it's probably
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: because the shoe does not fit you properly. It's if
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: you have to put a pat in the back, the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: shoe is too big. Your foot is flighting forward and
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the shoe was too big, and that's why you're getting
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the friction on the on on the back of your heel,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: or some ladies have something called the pump bump, and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: that could be a reason why. Now, if you have
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a pump bump, you might want to put something there
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: that stops that friction from happening. Something called mole skin.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: You can get that from any drug store and that
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: will stop the friction there. And and that that's something
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you know, that's just how your body has developed. But
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: if you don't have a pump bump on the back
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: of your heel and that foot that shoe was fighting off,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't have purchased the shoe in the first place.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Sometimes we just want to shoot so bad and we
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: just buy the side up or the side down, and
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: it's not worth it. And that's you know, I can't,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: you know, as as a witness, as as I'm testifying
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: right now, I'm testifying that she's telling you the truth
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: from a male perspective. I did everything that she's saying incorrectly.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I wore the tight shoes. I wore the shoe you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I shot, you know, towards the teenage, I wearing size twitter,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: but I was wearing the size nine. I wore size
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Tenna wats level. That was when I was in the level,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I was wearing the size you know, it was ten
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and a half. Okay. I slapped my foot in there,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you know, and I did that. I let my foot
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: stretch out. The shoe, you know, expanded, you know, as
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I got older than I I have shoe horns, and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I put him in there and I stretched them out
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and I would let them. You know. I used to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: wear marinate in that shoe to get it right for
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: my foot so my foot won't be screaming. And so
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: now I live a comfortable life with my feet. But
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: my feet have paid the price. And what you're trying
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: to say to all the callers, who are all the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: people who have listening to this show, is that do
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: not get to rushan stage of life, you know where
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: do not? You know, it's not worth it. I have
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a life of regret. And the thing is, in this
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: day and age, we have the internet, so you can
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: literally scour the internet to find your size if need be.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: So we didn't have that back in our day, Rashan,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: we didn't have that. Mom. Just to let you know,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you know, wherever a certain brand of shoe and I
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: saw this shoe the other day, I'm going to just
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: let you know. This almost drifted back into old Rashan,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: our size twelve, and it went to do it went
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: up to size eleven. I went on, shoes, looks so good,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: But I always remember that, Okay, ros Sean, you're too
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: old and too smart to get stupid again. And now,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: because I was almost about to fall into the old
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: weald again, sizing down on a big foot, sizing down
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: on the big foot, I want the listeners to all
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: hear this too about shoes sizes, ladies, all you ladies
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: out there that like they will telling your European sizes,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and those shoes sales people tell you a thirty nine
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: is a nine I'm telling you right now, it's a lot.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Thirty nine is not a nine. Nine is a forty. Okay,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: it's the next number up. Those people don't know what
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: they're talking about. I sold shoes. I know what I'm
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: talking about. Okay. I sold shoes. When we used to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: measure your foot on the branding device, we sat down
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: in schools and we put the shoes on your foot.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Not these people that come and throw the boxes that
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you are run away. So I'm telling all of you
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: when they come and tell you what thirty eight is
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the eight, they are lions. I just want a yes.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: They're also and in the same goes for the men's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: shoes as well. So all these people that are telling
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: you don't buy the shoe just because of the size,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: by what fits, what feels right on your foot. Don't
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: get caught up in the number. It's just the number.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Yeh know something. Dr Young Ragland, I I so appreciate
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you coming on my show. Allow me to just, you know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: tell the truth about Rashawn and his feet. His magical feet.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: They're not so magical when I take the socks off,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: they're rather terrifying. And I say that because of the
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: fact that I was stupid. I I ignored the pain.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I wore shoes that was smaller than what they should
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: have been. Now I am happy with my life. I
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: were quality shoes that that allows me to gracefully walked
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: on holls or gracefully drive my car. But I didn't
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: have to pay the price if I would have just listened.
• 28:05
