🧠 What Is a Herniated Disc? A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, is a condition in which the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc (nucleus pulposus) pushes out through a tear or weakness in the outer layer (annulus fibrosus). This protrusion can compress nearby spinal nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness, especially in the neck, lower back, arms, or legs.

When the human body is exposed to chronic emotional stress without proper release or therapeutic resolution, critical hormonal systems become imbalanced. This imbalance may result in physical symptoms such as weight gain, insomnia, fatigue, and digestive issues, as well as mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and emotional burnout.
