Dr. Stephanie Maj takes listeners deeper into The Disc Repair Blueprint—this time focusing on the technology behind Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. After explaining spinal anatomy in Chapter 2, she now reveals how modern decompression therapy relieves pressure, restores disc health, and helps chronic pain sufferers finally find lasting relief.
Dr. Maj shares the fascinating backstory of this life-changing technology, how it differs from old-fashioned traction or invasive surgery, and why precision, repetition, and gentle movement are the keys to true disc repair.

Key Takeaway
Spinal decompression isn't just traction—it's a precise, computer-guided therapy that uses gentle, rhythmic movement to restore disc height, reduce nerve pressure, and promote healing at the cellular level.

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.
