Christopher Ellis explains the difference between your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system (nerves extending to your limbs). Modern diet and lifestyle can damage these peripheral nerves like the ulnar and sciatic nerves.
Do you wonder if you're the best version of yourself? This is a question we seek to answer in this podcast. Modern life makes us fragile. Our diet, lifestyle, environment set us up for failure. Chris here, and today I want to talk about nerve damage, the different types, what it is. You hear it being thrown around, I've got nerve damage. Well, what does that really mean? So let me see if I can clear this up. So first off, we have to make a distinction between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is your brain and spinal cord, and then everything else is the peripheral. So all the nerves that come from your spine to your arms, your legs. So think of like the ulnar nerve or the sciatic nerve. Those are the peripheral nerves. So that's what this is going to be mostly about.
