Neuropathy and nutrition – the foods that heal (and those that harm)

“After just 90 days of focused nutrition and therapy, one of our patients went from 61% nerve loss… to just 14%.” - Dr Jeff Norman

That’s not a feel-good story. That’s a medically measured result.

Most people are told nerve damage is permanent.

That once it starts, it only gets worse.

If your nerves are screaming, tingling, or numb… I want you to know this:

Food can be medicine or poison for your nerves.

And getting this right could mean the difference between degenerating nerves… or regenerating them.

In this blog, I’ll show you:

• The worst foods that secretly feed nerve damage

• The exact foods (and vitamins) recommended to eat daily

• A therapy that supercharges your nutrition’s impact on nerve healing

Let’s dive in.

 

First, the worst: what’s wrecking your nerves

1. Sugar and refined carbs – The #1 nerve killer

Refined sugars spike blood sugar, choke your capillaries, and bathe your nerves in inflammation.

They literally block nutrients from reaching nerve cells.

Found in: Fizzy drinks, sweets, white bread, pastries

Try instead: Fresh fruit, raw honey, or stevia

2. Processed & fried foods – Fueling inflammation

Most people don’t realise their favourite snacks are full of inflammatory seed oils and additives that damage the “factory” that builds new nerve tissue.

Found in: Fast food, crisps, margarine, packaged meats

Try instead: Wild salmon, olive oil, grass-fed meats

3. Artificial sweeteners – Silent saboteurs

Some sweeteners like aspartame have been shown to trigger nerve hypersensitivity and pain flares in neuropathy patients.

Found in: Diet fizzy drinks, “sugar-free” anything

Try instead: Monk fruit or erythritol

 

Then, the best: foods that help rebuild your nerves

1. Anti-inflammatory superfoods – Calm the fire

Turmeric, ginger, and leafy greens help reduce the inflammation that prevents your nerves from healing.

Top picks: Turmeric, kale, spinach, blueberries, wild-caught fish

2. Healthy fats – Rebuild your myelin

Your nerves are wrapped in myelin—a fatty sheath that helps them fire correctly. Without the right fats, they can’t regenerate.

Top picks: Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, walnuts

3. Critical nerve nutrients – Repair & regrow

• L-Carnitine – Boosts cellular energy for damaged nerves
• Vitamin B12 – Rebuilds protective coatings
• Alpha-Lipoic Acid – Powerful antioxidant for inflammation
• Magnesium – Essential for nerve transmission and pain control

 

One-day meal plan for nerve healing

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with spinach + avocado

Lunch: Grilled salmon with quinoa + steamed broccoli

Snack: Walnuts + blueberries

Dinner: Grass-fed beef, sautéed greens + turmeric-ginger tea
