About us
Lead by board-certified podiatrist. 10+ years in practice. Treating plantar fasciitis every single day.
The Podiatrist Behind TrueStep Collective
I am Dr. Varner, the board-certified podiatrist behind TrueStep Collective. I have been in practice for over 10 years and have treated plantar fasciitis almost every single day of it. I run two successful practices, and over the years I have perfected what actually works and what needs to happen for patients to finally get the results they have been looking for
Why I Created This
I created TrueStep Collective because I kept meeting people who had already tried everything — stretches, inserts, new shoes, rest, cortisone, night splints — and were still in pain. The issue was never that they were lazy or uninformed. The issue was that no one personalized the approach to their specific foot, their specific life, and their specific pain patterns. My goal is to do for you what I do for patients in my office every day: review your situation, build a plan that fits YOUR life, and check in to adjust it until it works.
Our mission
My mission is to help people stop guessing and start healing — by providing personalized, clinician-guided care and structured educational resources that actually work. Whether you need a podiatrist to build the plan for you, or you prefer to learn and apply at your own pace, TrueStep Collective has a path for you.
What Makes TrueStep Different
•Built by a podiatrist who treats plantar fasciitis every single day — not assembled from blog posts
•Personalized programs with real 1-on-1 video calls, not just pre-recorded content
•Self-guided digital products designed from the same clinical protocols used in practice
•A clear path whether you want hands-on guidance or prefer a DIY approach
•Over 10 years of clinical experience distilled into structured, actionable resources
WHO THESE RESOURCES ARE FOR
TrueStep Collective is for anyone dealing with heel pain who wants real answers — whether that means a personalized plan built by a podiatrist, or structured self-guided resources you can follow at home
WHO IT’S NOT FOR
TrueStep Collective resources are not designed to diagnose conditions, replace individualized medical care, or provide treatment recommendations.
Individuals experiencing acute pain, worsening symptoms, or medical concerns should seek evaluation from a licensed healthcare professional.
