Living with neuropathy can feel like navigating uncharted waters—
especially when it’s a lasting side effect of cancer treatment.
As a survivor myself, I know how it impacts your quality of life…
from sleepless nights to challenges with everyday activities.
But here’s the good news: there are ways to find relief and reclaim your vitality, and it starts with integrative medicine.
What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine is a holistic approach,
that combines conventional treatments with complementary therapies –
to target the root cause of symptoms, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness.
5 Techniques to Manage Neuropathy Naturally:
Anti-Inflammatory Diet:
Foods like leafy greens, berries, fatty fish, and turmeric,
can reduce inflammation and support nerve health.
Bonus: This diet also supports gut-brain health, which plays a critical role in overall well-being.
Supplements for Nerve Repair:
Vitamin B12: Supports healthy nerve function.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid: Reduces burning and tingling sensations.
Magnesium: Calms nerve signals and aids sleep.
Acupuncture and Acupressure:
Studies show acupuncture can help relieve pain and improve blood flow to damaged nerves.
Topical Pain Relief and Therapy Tools:
Capsaicin cream and menthol-based gels provide temporary relief.
Occupational therapy tools like stress balls can improve dexterity and strength.
Movement and Stretching:
Low-impact exercises like walking, yoga, and swimming stimulate circulation and reduce stiffness.

disrupting my sleep and daily life, I turned to these strategies to regain control.
I found accupuncture to help me the most after 2-3 sessions.
Having these tools available haven’t just alleviated pain—they’ve empowered me to feel stronger and more in charge.
You’re Not Alone
Managing neuropathy—or any post-cancer side effect—isn’t a solo journey.
That’s why I created my 5-Step SHINE Program, designed to help survivors:
Shift their mindset.
Heal and release emotional and physical pain

Nourish their body with the right foods
Evolve into their strongest, most vibrant selves.
