Ep.241 Peripheral Neuropathy Explained: When the Toxic Load Cup Overflows

Peripheral neuropathy is often treated like a life sentence — “there’s nothing you can do,” “just manage the symptoms,” or “wait for it to get worse.” In this episode of McCollum Wellness Radio, Dr. Duncan McCollum explains what peripheral neuropathy really is, why it’s so common, and what can be done to restore function — especially when caught early.

Dr. McCollum breaks down:

What the peripheral nervous system is (and how it differs from the central nervous system) The most common symptoms people ignore (burning, numbness, pins & needles, “wadded up socks,” balance issues, sleep disruption, trouble driving) The biggest causes, including diabetes / pre-diabetes, chemotherapy & radiation, toxins, heavy metals, molds, medications, alcohol, and nutrient deficienciesWhy “quick fixes” rarely work — and why rebuilding nerve health requires a broad-spectrum approach How nerve healing can happen through restoring oxygen + circulation, supporting detox pathways, and stimulating regeneration If you or someone you love is losing balance, mobility, or quality of life because of neuropathy, this episode is a hopeful starting point. ──────────────────────────── 🔗
