A Kenyan medical professional, Dr. Hamisi Kote Ali, has generated significant interest online by disclosing that he has been walking without shoes for the last five years, even during formal meetings.

Dr. Hamisi, who specializes in fascial manipulation and is the founder of the Human Garage Wellness Group, shared his journey in a TikTok video, where he appeared in a suit but without footwear.

“This is how I attend meetings as a barefoot doctor. It has been five years now that I’ve gone without wearing shoes, even during official meetings,” he wrote in the post.

Dr. Hamisi explained that his choice to forgo shoes is deliberate and based on health advantages.

“I choose not to wear shoes for my well-being. You’ve probably noticed how it looks good to wear a suit without shoes! Try removing your shoes today and practice walking barefoot,” he stated.

In the comments of his post, he further discussed the scientific rationale behind barefoot walking, highlighting its benefits for pain relief and overall wellness.

“Grounding reduces pain and alters the numbers of circulating neutrophils and lymphocytes. It also affects various circulating chemical factors related to inflammation,” he clarified.

Encouraging others to give it a try, he concluded:

“After a year, you’ll be able to tell me how you feel. Still the barefoot doctor.”

His unique lifestyle choice has ignited conversations, with many expressing curiosity about grounding and its possible health benefits.
