#14 Numb, Burning, and Ignored: Rethinking Neuropathy from the Ground Up
In this episode of Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan dive into the frustrating world of neuropathy—why the conventional treatments so often fall short, and what’s really going on beneath the surface. They uncover the common root causes that are often missed, like mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic stress, and chronic inflammation.
You'll hear how they take a functional, brain-based approach to helping patients restore nerve function—through targeted nutrition, blood sugar regulation, mitochondrial support, and strategic chiropractic interventions.
🔍 Topics include:
- Why numbness, tingling, and burning are signals—not diagnoses
- How mitochondrial health plays a central role in nerve repair
- Why circulation and inflammation matter more than you think
- The multi-modal approach to supporting real nerve regeneration
If you’ve been told to “just live with it,” this episode offers a new path forward.
