Overview

Neuropathy involves nerve damage or dysfunction that can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or burning sensations—often in the hands, feet, or limbs. But in the bioenergetic model, neuropathy is more than just “nerve trouble”—it’s a sign that energy metabolism and tissue repair are impaired, often due to oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic imbalance.

Common symptoms of neuropathy include:

 

  • Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations

  • Burning pain or electric shocks in hands or feet

  • Numbness or loss of coordination

  • Muscle weakness or twitching

  • Cold extremities or sensitivity to touch

 

Underlying Bioenergetic Triggers:

 

  • Blood sugar dysregulation (diabetes, prediabetes, hypoglycemia)

  • Poor mitochondrial function and impaired nerve energy supply

  • Deficiency in pro-metabolic nutrients 

  • Chronic inflammation and overproduction of nitric oxide or free radicals

  • Excess polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which disrupt cellular respiration and promote nerve damage

 

Our Approach

Rather than suppress symptoms with medications, we seek to rebuild the metabolic environment that allows nerve tissue to heal. This includes:

  • Stabilizing blood sugar using bioenergetic-friendly nutrition (no more keto crashes or fasting stress)

  • Targeted nutritional support: thiamine (B1), magnesium, vitamin K2, red light exposure, and natural anti-inflammatory strategies

  • Gentle therapies like infrared laser or dry needling to increase nerve circulation and reduce stagnation

  • Hormonal balancing to improve nerve regeneration and tissue oxygenation

  • PUFA-lowering strategies and support for saturated fat metabolism to protect nerve integrity

For example, a patient with burning feet and numb toes had been managing blood sugar but was still struggling. Through testing, we identified depleted vitamin D and chronic metabolic suppression from years of low-carb dieting. With targeted thiamine repletion, warming foods, and mitochondrial support, her nerve pain steadily decreased over several months.

How we can Help

Neuropathy doesn’t have to be permanent. By restoring the body's energy systems and removing inflammatory barriers to healing, we help your nervous system regenerate and function properly again.
