GLP-1s, weight loss, and Neuropathy

I had a dx of severe, bilateral peripheral neuropathy about 15 years ago. As expected, things got progressively worse.
Neurologist at the time was disappointed he couldn't pin it on diabetes. By default, cause seems to be lumbar disc injury.
2 years or so, ago, I started into remission - growth of new muscle, return of feet sensations, improved handwriting, etc.
CIDP dx followed.
Allowing for 30 day ramp-up, this corresponded, exactly, with two events:
(1) daily consumption of a dozen or so unsalted cashews;
(2) resumption of weekly church attendance - not as hokey as it sounds - standing on thick carpets in choir is akin to an intense waffle board exercise.
Vanderbilt Medical published a promising study some years ago linking PN improvements with cashew shell extract.
Cashews contain lots of fat, maybe of the sort lost from my nerve fibers?
I've heard crazier stories.

@constable12 I feel anything is worth a try. I usually try severL at the same time for the total affect.
I feel remedies may be like a pie, with the wedges delivering different percentagesvif healing. Eg. Cashews may be 15% , daily exercise 20%, nutritional diet 25%, mindfulness deep
breathing 10%. You get the idea..you fill in what you think may be good remedies, and do them all together for a few months.
