In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Maj continues her deep dive into The Disc Repair Blueprint with Chapter 2: The Anatomy of the Spine and Disc Injuries.
After the incredible response to Chapter 1, Dr. Maj breaks down what's really happening inside your spine—explaining how your vertebrae, discs, and nerves all work together to keep you moving, and what goes wrong when pain, herniation, or degeneration sets in.
She uses simple, vivid analogies (like jelly donuts and onions!) to help you understand how disc injuries develop, how they affect your nerves, and most importantly, how spinal decompression therapy can reverse the damage.
What You'll Learn
- How your spine and discs actually work—and why alignment and hydration are vital to nerve health.
- The difference between acute disc herniation (when the disc "pops") and chronic degeneration (slow wear and tear).
- Why symptoms like sciatica, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness all trace back to pressure on spinal nerves.
- How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression creates a "suction effect" that pulls herniated material back into the disc, reducing pain naturally.
- The secret to rehydrating aging discs using decompression therapy and nutrients like glucosamine sulfate.
- Why chiropractic adjustments are crucial for restoring alignment so your spine heals in balance—not in compensation.
Key Takeaway
Whether your pain is sudden or slowly building over years, you can repair your discs naturally. Dr. Maj explains how decompression therapy restores disc height, reduces pressure on nerves, and helps your spine heal itself—without surgery or long-term medication.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
