Hey, everybody, it's Dr. Sam, and I want to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. So today, I want to help you navigate the eye care system. So I'm going to take a few minutes. I'm going to talk about ways that, first of all, you can find an eye doctor that you can maybe be compatible with. Number two, how you can help your eye doctor, help you in the best possible way. And number three, if in fact, you do need surgery, what's the best way to navigate? All right, so let's go to number one, how to find an eye doctor. Well, you know, the best way to do that, I think, is first of all, go on Google and type in holistic eye doctor. Now, you may or may not get somebody in your area. You may not even get a holistic eye doctor. You may get a holistic naturopath or functional medicine doctor or a biological dentist. And so at this point, I would contact whatever comes up on the Google, and I would contact that office and ask them for a referral. Is there anybody they know? And maybe it isn't quite a holistic eye doctor, but somebody maybe who's a little older, maybe who's a little more gentle, a little more middle of the road. It's kind of hard to find holistic eye doctors because in school, we're not really trained to look at vision holistically only allopathically but many times there are doctors that at least they're more reasonable in their attitude. And if you can find somebody like that, another way to do it is through your friends, through your community, to ask around who's somebody that I have a holistic philosophy in my health. Is there somebody that at least isn't totally extreme? Name that's going to really just recommend surgery as soon as I walk in the door. And there are doctors, eye doctors out there like that, and that may be the best you can do in your area. So that would be number one. The number two. When you go for your eye exam, I recommend taking a friend, a family member, and have a certain intention or focus on what you want to achieve. It could be, I want you to check my eye health. I want you to give me a prescription for my glasses, if that's what you need. But I don't want you to overcorrect me. And the way you do that is when he starts flipping the lenses. Feel it in your body, feel it in your eyes, and you're wanting to stay as close to the current prescription as you can. And you need to stand up for yourself here and you need to say, I don't want a super strong prescription. And most of the time, even if they don't believe in you or believe what you're saying, if you're committed, because the stronger the prescription you get, the faster it is going to weaken your eyes. So you want to stay in the area of something that's...

Today, I'll be addressing a single question, and I'm thrilled to delve into the topic of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is a profound interest of mine, one that I've been deeply immersed in for numerous years. In particular, I'd like to spotlight lemon essential oil. Lemon is an incredibly versatile essential oil, but cautious application is necessary. When using any essential oil for the first time, it's crucial to introduce it to your system gently and with care. This is a practice I emphasize in my classes. Begin by experiencing the aroma of the oil, allowing it to engage with your olfactory and limbic systems. This will provide an immediate inclination towards acceptance or rejection. For example, if I were to present rose oil, its scent is often associated with the rose flower and evokes a sense of heart-opening. On the other hand, an essential oil like spikenard, with its shamanic essence, might carry a scent reminiscent of dirty socks. Despite this, it holds value in the dream world, inducing relaxation. The key is to discern whether the initial response is positive or negative. Turning to lemon, a citrus aroma that's generally favored, you'd similarly smell it initially and evaluate your reaction. Next, I recommend conducting a patch test on a less sensitive area of the skin, such as the inner part of the wrist. This minimizes any discomfort that might arise, as opposed to applying it directly to more sensitive regions like the face or private areas, which can lead to temporary discomfort. If you ever experience a burning sensation from an essential oil on your skin, applying coconut oil can promptly alleviate it. So, having completed test number one for lemon—smelling and patch testing—the next step is determining suitable areas of application. Almost any essential oil can be applied to the soles of the feet. For adults, two to three drops of oil on each sole, twice daily, is advisable. With children, the dose varies. For instance, one drop for younger kids and up to four drops for older ones. Lemon essential oil boasts several benefits. It possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties while supporting the liver, spleen, and kidneys, functioning as a detoxifying agent. Thus, it's a valuable addition to any gentle detox regimen, consistently applied to the soles of the feet. Moreover, lemon oil has a positive impact on mood,

Today I want to address the pressing issue of managing children's digital device use and offer valuable advice to parents seeking to establish effective boundaries. We'll shed light on the potential pitfalls of excessive screen time – from eye strain to fatigue – and underscore the heightened vulnerability of children due to their less-developed protective eye pigments against blue light. I advocate for a thoughtful approach rooted in negotiation when discussing digital device limits with kids. Enjoy the show!

In this episode I recount my personal struggle with vision issues and how I found solace in the holistic method. Vision encompasses more than just the eyes; it encompasses the brain, emotions, posture, and balance. I lay out crucial strategies for bolstering vision, especially for those aged 70 and above grappling with conditions like cataracts or macular degeneration. Enjoy the show!

Let's talk about how to approach the conversation around eye care with someone you're close to, whether it's a family member, friend, or your child. This can be a very delicate conversation. When someone you know is diagnosed with a problem like glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration, I suggest taking a holistic and integrative approach, but it's important to respect their choices and ask permission before offering advice.

And you can see the details there. All right now on to the show. 1:37 Everybody, welcome to the program today. So I want to talk about what happens when either your family member or friend gets the eye diagnosis. So let's say you have a parent, and he or she has been diagnosed with glaucoma, or cataracts or macular degeneration. And the doctor will say something like, well, let's just watch it. Or let's schedule you for a procedure. And you being a holistically minded person says maybe there's something else. So how can you help. Or let's say you have a child who's maybe struggling a little bit in school, or you notice that there's an eye turn, or he or she covers one of her eyes, and you go to the doctor and he says, Well, you've got esotropia or amblyopia. And we need to either patch full time, or you need to do i muscle surgery right away, let's get this scheduled. Or even if it's just a friend, a friend who maybe has had a botched cataract surgery, or is facing glaucoma surgery, and you know that there might be a better way, how do you navigate the waters, the day doesn't go by when somebody will write me and say, you know, I have a family member or a friend who's got this eye condition. I know there's a better way. And so you know, I offer certain suggestions and so on. But this is educational only. So I'm not diagnosing or treating. But how do you handle the dynamics of this? So first of all, I think it's important to note that everybody is on their own path. And as much as we want to help others, I think it's important that if you're going to offer advice that you want to ask permission, you want to make sure that it's okay. Because some people just aren't open to a more holistic integrative approach, especially with the eyes. For some reason, we don't think we can improve our vision. It's the one part of our body that isn't going to heal at least that's what maybe your eye doctor has said, even though people have had healings in so many other areas of their body, why not the eyes? So if you have that conversation, and the person says, Yeah, I'm open to it, what do you have? I think the first thing to do is maybe show some research based on the condition if that's possible.

Today's episode is all about the misconception of solely focusing on reducing prescriptions to improve vision. I share a powerful story of a nearsighted patient who demanded a reduced prescription without doing the necessary reprogramming work. It resulted in frustration and discomfort. I emphasize the importance of vision therapy to reprogram habits and beliefs before pursuing reduced prescriptions. Whether dealing with myopia, astigmatism, or farsightedness, the key is self-awareness, discipline, and adaptability. Vision is a flexible process, and with proper physical therapy, reduced prescriptions can be more effective. Don't rush the process. Do the work first for lasting results. Enjoy the show.

So the title of today's podcast is don't just live to reduce your prescription. So many people that I've worked with over the years, who wants to reduce their prescription who want to improve their vision gets so fixated on the prescription, that they're missing out on what is really needed to make the deep level changes. I'll tell you a story. One time that happened when somebody came to see me she was very nearsighted. And she asked me to reduce her prescription. And I said, you know, without doing the physical therapy to reprogram your eyes and brain, it's not going to work. And she said, Oh, no, I can handle it. Give me a reduced prescription. So I'll give you the numbers. Not that it means anything, but she was a minus 3.25 in each eye. So she had a moderate amount of nearsightedness. So I reduced her prescription to a minus three. So I reduced it by a quarter of a diopter. So she got the prescription. And she called our office. And she was irate. She was so angry. She said, Dr. Byrne has blinded me, I can't see anything. Wow. Okay, so my secretary, and I talked about this. And we made an appointment she came in. And I had her put on the glasses, and she was going off how things were so blurry, and how I really how could I do this to her and, you know, stuff like that. So I put her into the exam lane with the minus threes. And I said, I read the chart,

Recently, I saw a patient who was diagnosed with glaucoma. And that's serious enough, but the way the doctor delivered, the message was even more mind blowing to me. So the story goes like this. Somebody called us and said, You know, I want a second opinion. And we had some space. So she came into the office here. And I asked her, you know why she came and she said that she had had a conversation at the end of her last eye exam where the doctor said, and oh, by the way, you're diagnosed with glaucoma. And it's early stages, but you know, you're probably going to go blind. And I'm gonna go on to my next patient. So she sat there, she was very upset, she was devastated. And there was absolutely no emotional support, or anything beyond here's the diagnosis and goodbye. And this happens more frequently than not and you know, speaking from somebody who used to be in a busy private practice, and you start seeing lots of people, you get kind of dumbed down, you know, where everybody looks like they're the same and that, you know, you've delivered the message 1000s of times in, you've got this diagnosis, and you're gonna go blind. So, we sat there for a few minutes, and she processed a little bit. Definitely she was traumatized. And as we went through the records, it became clear to me that she was more of a glaucoma suspect, than she had full blown glaucoma. And there are three main ways that you diagnose glaucoma. The first is obviously the eye pressure, and that's an important test.

Hey everyone, welcome to today's show. I want to talk about some exciting research in regenerative eye care.

This is a little different podcast today, I gave a short presentation to a group of entrepreneurs recently, the organization I'm involved with is called score and they help entrepreneurs figure out how to develop a business plan. And I come in and I help them with their marketing. So I say a few words, share my own experience with what I'm doing right now those of you that are following me in a really into the holistic eyecare movement. We're having a great time. Anyways, I talk a little bit about the new membership launch, how to work with young people, I'm seeing more and more young entrepreneurs, artists, and musicians and people who want to realize their dream. And I talk about how you may not be able to find this method of marketing in college that you have to go outside of your schooling to figure it out. And so I hope you enjoy the show. It's a little different. But anyways, thanks for tuning in. Well, I'm Sam Berne. And I have a health and wellness brand that I started in 2016 doing really well. And I would say my expertise is finding underpriced attention and getting the word out. Because you can have the best idea in the world. But if you don't let anybody know about it, then you're gonna fail. And so in my own business, I've been able to figure out how to tap into underpriced attention. And for me, I think the diversity of having a lot of different businesses in one space is actually really great. Because you can apply the same principles based on whatever your business is because the name of the game is, okay, what am I good at? And am I willing to commit in the long term to create a brand versus making it a sales or transactional situation? So the way I built my brand was developing my community relationship ...

Hey everyone, welcome to the program. Today, I want to talk about essential oils and share my experiences with them. I first discovered essential oils when I had a digestive problem and tried cardamom essential oil, which provided great relief. Intrigued, I studied aromatherapy and became an aroma therapist. In fact, I may soon be releasing my own line of essential oils. Essential oils are derived from various plant parts, such as grasses, roots, tree bark, and flower petals. They can be steam distilled or cold pressed and are highly concentrated and aromatic. While some people use essential oils for their pleasant fragrance, they also have medicinal properties. The most common way to experience essential oils is through inhalation, either by smelling them directly or using a diffuser. Inhalation can be beneficial for relaxation, reducing anxiety, and promoting better sleep. Enjoy the show. If you want more, sign up for my newsletter at: www.drsamberne.com.

So in this podcast, I want to give a little bit of advice on how to use essential oils where they come from. And so let's just jump right in. I got exposed to essential oils many years ago actually had a digestive problem. And I was at a health fair. And there was an aroma therapist there and she said Why don't you try this cardamom essential oil. And I said okay, so I put a couple of drops in some water. And I said, Wow, this feels great on my stomach. I love this. So I bought a bottle, and I was using it after my meals and within a few weeks, my acid reflux and all my digestive discomfort discomforts went away. So I started to dive a little more deeply into aromatherapy actually studied it, I became an aroma therapist. I've taught aromatherapy I've sold essential oils. By the way, there's a little secret out there that I am now talking directly do some farmers. And I may be releasing a line of my own essential oils and the next few months. So just watch for that. And if I do that, I'm going to start teaching as well. So that's kind of on the down low, but it's probably going to happen fairly soon. So the essential oils can come from many different plant parts, grasses, roots, tree bark, flower petals, just to name a few of the plant parts. You can do steam distilled or cold pressed this is how you can access the essential oils, they're highly aromatic,

Today I want to address a parent's concerns about their four-year-old daughter, Julie, who has been diagnosed with farsightedness and lazy eye. The parent has been advised by an eye doctor to have Julie wear glasses full time and consider eye muscle surgery. I want to offer an alternative perspective that emphasizes the malleability of a child's visual system and the potential for improvement through non-invasive treatments. Enjoy the show.

All right now on to the show.   01:36 Hey, everybody, welcome to the program, doing a little urban broadcasting today. So I'm in downtown Santa Fe, actually, my old office is just over there. I closed that office in 2010. But this is a very sweet part of Santa Fe, it's on the west side, pretty quiet and easy going. So I thought I would stop and take a question from a parent is very concerned about a four year old daughter Julie. So Julie has been diagnosed with farsightedness and lazy eye and she's got an eye turning in. And her eye doctor said that she needs to wear these glasses full time, mom sent me the prescriptions about a plus six. And he also said that she only has about three more years to be able to improve the lazy eye. And he wants to schedule her for eye muscle surgery. Because the only way to fix this I turn is with eye muscle surgery. Well, of course, she is appalled by this. She wants other opinions. And so she's known me a long time. And so I wanted to give my point of view. So first thing I want to say is that with kids, their visual system is very malleable, very plastic in the sense that it's versatile, it's changeable. And when you start putting glasses on children are doing things like surgery. There's even a technique where you can use eyedrops that can actually reduce a lazy eye. When you do all these invasive treatments, what ends up happening is it basically reinforces the problem. You know, the eyes are the only part of the brain that are outside the cranial vault. And since the eyes are brain tissue, especially in children, it's a great opportunity to improve one's vision by doing physical therapy exercises, because what you're doing there is you're creating new pathways, new ways for the child to use their visual system in the midst of using both eyes together. So with the glasses prescription, you know the way glasses are prescribed is that the doctor is going to put in eyedrops that paralyze the focusing muscles. We call this dilating eyedrops. And once you do that, you have lost the opportunity to be able to measure the organic focusing flexibility of the visual system. And the reason is, is because those muscles are paralyzed because of the eyedrops. And so the prescription that the doctor is going to give is always way too strong. So in this particular case, one of the things we have to look at is First of all,

Thanks for tuning in, give me a little background on your project, and what you're trying to achieve.   02:19 Basically, what I'm trying to do is we're trying to create kind of, like you had said, you had mentioned about creating small clips information for content to pique people's interest, or not wanting to Record interview with other people or creating long clips, but basically to create interest by giving snippets of information for people who are fans of Lazar during keeping them kind of little bits and pieces of nuggets about what's happening on the farm, just to keep them interested in the goings on and either either give it to them embedded, this is my questions either embedded in the email blasts, we're sitting out using MailChimp.   03:03 And I've gotten some pretty good response on on our email list. So I'm wanting to continue to use that not just in emails, but possibly also included up updates to the social media sites for the podcast, just try to figure out if that's possible and how you do that.   03:24 So in this project that Jason you're doing, are these podcasts that you're wanting to,   03:33 you know, splice up and, and put in the newsletter or what's the video content?   03:41 Well, basically, I remember what you had said before was I said you could use your your iPhone to create basically a podcast where then you they would use some sort of editor to break it up into segments and issue out different pieces of that to   04:02 to create interest from the people that are following you just so they can fit so they They basically come on, listen to a 32nd to a minute update in products, new products that are coming out happenings at the farm different types of things. And we release those every so often. I just wasn't sure if that's something that you would put in on your web. Would you put that in your social media like Facebook and Instagram? Maybe it possibly is real?

Today we are talking about the state of eye care and challenges the traditional approach to eye exams. I will highlight various vision problems that are often missed during regular eye exams, emphasizing that these issues are actually brain problems that can be addressed through physical vision therapy. We'll explore three life situations related to children's learning, adults with diagnosed conditions, and individuals with concussions or traumatic brain injuries.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Dr. Jen Pfleghaar, DO, ABOIM @integrativedrmom on her podcast recently. Dr. Jen is very passionate about health. She completed a fellowship in Integrative Medicine. Healthcare is often symptom-focused and reactive, rather than prevention-focused and proactive. Patients and physicians rarely discuss nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle change, and instead focus mainly on diagnosis and treatment of disease. Many clinicians feel unprepared to discuss the safe and effective use of dietary supplements or herbal medicines, or how to help patients incorporate relaxation or mind-body practices into their lives. She believes it is important to take the time with each patient and develop a strong relationship.

So I want to talk about dry eye syndrome, my latest information on dry eye. So did you know that over 16 million people in the United States suffer dry I actually think that number is higher.   02:45 And today I want to talk about some of the causes of dry eye and what can you do about it besides just the regular pharmaceutical or surgical approach. So let's begin by talking about what is dry eye. It is a condition where you experience things like stinging, burning, redness, sand in your eyes, you can wake up and it's hard for you to open your eyes. So there's a lot of variations to the symptoms of dry. One of the things I've learned by treating a lot of people with dry eye, it is definitely a puzzle. And everybody needs to be treated individually. So we can start with the meibomian glands. Those are the glands that are along the eyelids, and they're called the oily glands. When you have dry eye syndrome, you're probably not producing enough of the oil in the glands. And this is why the tears evaporate so quickly. And we have to include auto immune disease in this things like Sjogren's or lupus. By the way, I've done a great video blog on Sjogren's You can find that on my YouTube channel. But in any event, if you have any autoimmune disease, it can affect your eyes. Sjogren's tends to affect the meibomian glands and also the salivary glands. So that's number one. Now, in addition to the oily gland dysfunction, you can have inflammation in the eyelids as well. So you've got a double whammy, where the glands could be clogged, but also because of the inflammation in the eyelids. This also can cause an inability to produce the right kind of tears. And so when you don't have the oily tears, you're gonna get evaporation. So let's talk about some of the tests that you can use to diagnose dry eye syndrome. The first test is called Shermer.   05:00 tear strip. This is where you take a little paper filter, and you put it on the inside part of the lower eyelid. You keep it there about five minutes.

In this episode, I am going to talk about Vision Motion Sickness.

All right now on to the show. 01:36 Morning, everybody, it's Dr. Sam, and I'd like to welcome you to my podcast today. So I'm going to talk about a condition called Vision motion sickness. 01:48 Now I'm going to preface this by saying that in this condition, it falls under the umbrella of vertigo. And I would check out on my website, my three videos I did on vertigo, which will give you some insight and basis as I talk about vision motion sickness. So this is actually a pretty common condition. And it occurs it gets triggered when you are moving quickly, either in a car, or if you move your head quickly, you start to feel nauseas or dizzy, lightheaded. So I want to talk about this condition. Because most eye doctors and neurologists, in my opinion, 02:40 could do a better job in diagnosing it. And of course, in my field, the rehabilitation of it is pretty awesome. 02:51 So if you suffer this set of symptoms, 2:56 what I have found over the years is that there's some connection to either some concussion 03:04 trauma could be a head trauma could be emotional trauma. So those are the things that kind of trigger the initial hypersensitivity. And today, so many people are suffering, either concussion experiences car accidents, or just plain trauma that this creates a hypersensitivity in the relationship between our eyes and our inner ear. 03:36 And in other podcasts and video blogs, I talked about the relationship between our eyeballs and our inner ears, the visual vestibular system. And both of them are important in helping us deal with orientation and balance. And in this vote mode of vision motion sickness there is either an overacting visual component overacting vestibular component. And if this is a chronic issue, it can actually turn into 04:14 a chronic situation where you have low responsiveness. 04:20 Now another symptom that I'll bring into this is the light sensitivity. And this occurs quite frequently, you know, when you go into one of the big box stores like Walmart, or target 04:37 and you're dealing with those really troublesome fluorescent lights that are blinking and so you have an over sensitivity to this flickering. 04:49 Another factor in this is that your energetic resources and reserves are usually pretty low and 05:00 We can test this visually, by seeing how well you can sustain your visual focus, or how flexible you are in making changes in your focus. This is part of the vision exam that goes beyond r...

So the sign up, go to my website www.drsamberne.com. Now to today's show. 02:09 Hey everybody, good morning. It's Dr. Sam, like to welcome you to my podcast today. So I received a question from a listener, I get this question a lot. What are the secrets in actually being able to improve your vision. So I'm gonna give you three quick points here. The first is get the diagnosis, figure out what you're dealing with, you know, if you get pictures if you can get this will be more in the eye disease world. Or if you have a prescription that keeps increasing or you've got, you know, symptoms of headaches or eyestrain from glasses, you want to know what you're dealing with. Number two, to do a combination of just a few eye exercises, I'd like to pick about three of them, one of them would would be doing some kind of an eye movement exercise, the second one would be a visual coordination exercise. And the third would be an eye relaxation exercise. So these would be done every day, I usually do them three times a day. So my three ones that I think about right now are the animal eye chart, the Yin Yang peripheral vision chart, and the N Palm Hum. Those are on my website, they're all over the internet, you can just Google it. The reason why I like those three is that the eye movement is going to stretch the eye muscles in all the areas of gaze. And that's going to bring more blood flow and more I relaxation, you do each eye separately. And then doing an exercise where you're using both eyes together. Like the Yin Yang, peripheral vision, that's a soft focus, exercise visual relaxation, but you get the feedback that both eyes are working together, you need that feedback because this is a tendency. And this occurs both in the eye disease world and also in the refractive error world where the two eyes are not balancing. If you're right handed, usually the right eye is doing much more of the work and the left eye is the brain is suppressing that left eye. So if you do the Yin Yang peripheral vision exercise, that's going to get your two eyes to work together with the brain. And then after you've done both of those, and I do maybe two or three minutes of each, then I do the palm hum the end palm home exercise. This maximizes I relaxation,

All right now on to the show.   01:37 Hey everybody, it's Dr. Sam and I want to take a question today from a listener. She's got high eye pressure, but she doesn't have glaucoma. So I want to go into the causes and what you can do to bring your eye pressure down. So in ocular hypertension, there's a consistently high eye pressure reading that the doctor measures, but there's no optic nerve damage or visual field loss. Usually it's a problem with either the aqueous production or the drainage in the eye. And this is what causes the high eye pressure. So even though I am a believer in the epigenetics model, which says that the genes are expressed, based on our environment, our diet lifestyle, there is a link genetically if your parents or grandparents have had glaucoma, you do have a higher risk of having either glaucoma or in this case, ocular hypertension. I've also seen that as you get older, and you have more free radical damage or inflammation in the eye, there's a higher risk of ocular hypertension and or glaucoma. And in ethnicity, African Americans tend to have more glaucoma or ocular hypertension. And so these are things to note if you fall into any of those categories. So I've done many video blogs and podcasts on primary open angle glaucoma, narrow angle glaucoma, you can find those on my website or YouTube or Facebook. But today because the question is about ocular hypertension, I want to talk about some other causes. One of the causes could be taking either oral or topical corticosteroids. So when you take steroids, this can artificially raise the eye pressure. And so you have ocular hypertension, if you're taking any kind of corticosteroids. I've also found that eye trauma or eye injury can cause ocular hypertension. And this trauma can change the fluid dynamics and flow in the aqueous. And this is another reason why I've seen ocular hypertension. I've also seen that certain eye inflammatory diseases like iritis and Uveitis can drive the eye pressure up. And even secondary glaucoma like pseudo exfoliation, glaucoma, which has these flakes that can deposit in the drainage areas of the eye, which also cause ocular hypertension. You know, another thing that I asked a lot about is what kind of medications you're taking, because certain medications can actually cause your eye pressure to go up. So let's go through the list. We have things like decongestants anti depressants, any histamines so in treating this condition and I want to talk more holistically are using integrative medicine. One of the herbs I like is something called Coleus and you can get This is a tincture,

All right now on to the show. 01:36 Hey, everybody, its Dr. Sam, I'd like to welcome you to our EyeClarity podcast today. So I want to bring in some interesting research. And it has to do with being able to make an early diagnosis of eye conditions. And once you have that diagnosis, you can then use proactive or preventative ways to either slow down the progression, and in some cases, even reverse the disease process. So there's a new type of research out there called deep learning this is done through artificial intelligence. And researchers are using pictures of the retina cells. It's the micro capillaries, the optic nerve, the macula. And when you go for an eye exam, either the eye doctor looks with a some kind of a scope at your retina back of your eye. Or he or she now can use a photography instrument to take a measurement of the status of your retina cells, your macula, your optic nerve, and so on. So in this next level of diagnosis, what researchers are doing is they are calculating your biological age, using what we call deep learning models. And this is an artificial intelligence process. Whereby what happens is the researchers have hooked into a very large database of pictures of the eye. And these images show different stages of the diagnosis, diseases, especially in the areas of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy. And you know, in other podcasts, I've talked about how eye doctors can look at the retina, because it's such a great window into the body. And they can even pick up the brain health. So early stages of dementia, and even cardio vascular disease because when you look at the retina, you're looking at the health of the tiniest blood vessels that are in the body, which we call the micro capillaries. And I've talked about them a lot because the micro capillaries are key in your ability to oxygenate and hydrate the tissue in the back of the eye. And when there's a starvation when there's oxidative stress when there's inflammation in these micro capillaries, this is when disease starts to occur. So in this biological age that the researchers are looking at, if they can tell early on that there might be some deterioration and this is detected through through this deep learning artificial intelligence, because with the database that the researchers have c...

The first question I want to talk about is a woman on TikTok has asked me, What can she do if she's had her gallbladder taken out? Well, in some of my content, I talk about the importance of gallbladder health. And eye health. Remember, it's the liver that produces the bile. And it's the gallbladder that stores the bile. And it's the bile that helps us absorb those very important fat soluble vitamins that we need for our eye health. Things like vitamin A,   03:04 lutein z is Anthon.   03:08 And when we do not either produce enough Bile   03:13 or store the bile properly, which is the gallbladder, then we may not be absorbing our fat soluble nutrients as well as we could.   03:27 So whether you have your gallbladder or not.   03:30 I want to give you some information that can help you either support a healthier gallbladder or if the gallbladder has been taken out. What can you do? So let's talk first, if you've had your gallbladder taken out, it's very important that you know that you can not eat a lot of fatty foods. So this would be things like steak, or home ground beef, bacon, pork,   03:59 things like lamb or sausage, and even dairy products, like whole milk or cheese, butter, lard, and even highly processed foods. Things with sugar in them, you know the white flour products, pies, cinnamon rolls,   04:21 and you want to steer yourself towards more high fiber type of foods, things that contain calcium and the B vitamins, the trace minerals, some of these high fiber foods would be things like beans or lentils. I even would go for things like   04:43 whole grain foods, nuts and seeds, things like chia seeds, flax seeds, and the foods that contain loads of antioxidants. These would be things like kale and spinach, citrus fruits, the berry family and of course your   05:00 cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli and cauliflower, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts,

Here is a fireside chat I had recently with a private group of interested consumers in vision improvement. We cover all the hot topics in holistic eye care including Glaucoma, eye exercises, dry eye, floaters, and more. Enjoy the Show.

I want to cover a topic I get a lot of questions about. EMF Exposure and our health. EMF exposure from our digital devices and its potential impact on our health. EMF pollution can affect various aspects of our well-being, including heart rate, blood pressure, brainwaves, circulation, and even our eyes. While some research suggests no health effects, many individuals experience issues like insomnia, inflammation, memory and concentration problems, mood changes, and even DNA alterations due to EMF exposure. So let's dig in. Enjoy the Show. If you want more, sign up for my newsletter at: www.drsamberne.com. If you have any questions, submit them to hello@drsamberne.com or you can now text me!

This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode.   00:01 Hey everybody, its Dr. Sam and I'd like to welcome you to my I clarity podcast today. I'm on a great hike up to this area. I'm heading up to this ridge over here, it's probably going to take me a couple hours. But I wanted to address this question that I get probably once a week. And it has to do with EMF exposure from all our digital devices. So in today's show, I'm going to talk a bit about EMFs and how they may affect our health.   00:40 EMF pollution can do things like increase your heart rate, your blood pressure, affect your brainwaves, your heart circulation, and your heart waves, and of course, your eyes. So my first comment about EMFs. And how it may affect your health is that in some of the research, scientists feel that EMF pollution does not affect our health at all.   I've also gotten complaints from people who use electronic devices have more insomnia, higher levels of inflammation, memory and concentration issues. The EMF exposure affects their moods, so it could affect their dopamine levels. And some of the studies I've seen actually show that it can affect your DNA. In another study I looked at the EMF waves affect our calcium in the cells. Now, calcium is important, because it helps in the communication on a cellular level.   So this gets scrambled as we get exposed to EMF pollution. You know, one report I read is that the average person spends up to 10 hours a day on their digital devices. So one of the things I recommend is getting an EMF tester. And this way you can test both the EMF waves and the magnetic waves, and you can see what you're exposed to. One surprising thing that I saw in some of the research is how damaging the microwaves are to our body. And I know a lot of people cook with microwaves. When I was studying with my teacher, Dr. Hazel Parcells, some of you know that I've referred to her when I met her. She was 103 years old, and she was starting a retreat center in sapio, New Mexico.   And Dr. Parr cells was adamant that putting your food or water in a microwave basically killed the food. And I certainly have some aunts and uncles and my grandparents who used microwaves. And no matter what I would say to them, when I would go visit them, they were addicted to using the microwave. So my suggestion would be if you have a microwave, just get rid of it.   Another trend that I'm looking at right now is how glasses are glasses companies are putting Bluetooth in the frame so that you can actually listen to audio. And you can use Siri and artificial intelligence to program the glasse...

This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode.   Hey everyone, I want to welcome you to my talk today, here at Kidpower. And Albuquerque. Kidpower is near and dear to my heart, because it's a place I've been coming for, I don't know, over 20 years, and I help the kids with their vision. So I'm going to talk about that today. And to begin with, what I want to do is I want to talk about a core issue that has been coming up in the context of working with kids. And that core issue has to do with cracking the code, cracking the code, with each child, what is it going to take to turn the switch on so that they're thriving? And when I see a child here at Kidpower, or in my practice, that's my biggest curiosity, because usually, you know, parents are coming in and we know as parents were really struggling with what's going on with my child, and why are they struggling in school? And how come they're not reading and we just went to an IEP, you know, we did the testing, and now they may end up in a special education class.   So I have to say, I have some personal experience, because I was one of those kids. I grew up in the Northeast, and I came from a family that really stressed education. And my parents, my grandparents, my aunts, and uncles, a bunch of intellectuals. And so I remember my uncle going to his house, and he had like, all these books on foreign language, he actually spoke five different languages. And my, my mom and dad, I mean, they just stressed college and grad school. But the thing was, is I was eight years old, and I was diagnosed with a learning disability. And, as I, as I think about it, now, it's kind of a painful time because I didn't want to read I didn't like reading. I wasn't a good reader. School was really challenging for me. And so my, my mom took me to a lot of places. And we actually ended up like a lot of the kids here at Kidpower. I ended up at an eye doctors office. And he said to me, Well, you're nearsighted. And let's give you some glasses. And so I got these lenses. And I started to memorize, that's how I got through school. And I never was a good test taker. And I just worked really hard. And I was able to do pretty well in high school and college and got into professional school, graduated and I met a, what we call it developmental optometrists. This was a, an eye doctor who looked at vision in a more holistic way. And I was 20 years old. And he had a course that he was offering. And he also was offering his services as a doctor and as me as a patient. So I started going with him, and he diagnosed me with a condition called convergence insufficiency.   Meaning my left eye used to wander out, I would see double vision, I couldn't focus. I had a little bit of impulsivity, a little bit of hyperactivity, and sounds like ADHD, right. And that's kind of what I had. And so through his physical therapy exercises, I was able to heal that condition.

Here is a session I had with a patient who was suffering from double vision. In the first session, I recommended some physical therapy exercises and yoked prisms, but she was struggling with the program. So, we had another session where I laid out some important principles for her and anyone else suffering from double vision on the road to recovery. Enjoy the show.

So you're gonna get a peek into a session I did recently with a patient who's suffering double vision. And in session one, I gave her some physical therapy exercises, I also recommended some prism glasses, my famous yoked prisms, and she was struggling with the program. So she sent me some emails and had some questions. They said, Hey, let's just do another session. So in the second session, I start off by asking her to check in with me. And then I lay out some principles that I feel are very important only for her but also anybody who's suffering double vision, what the road is to recovery. So I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks for tuning in. So   01:39 let's let's get a check in on sounds like you're having some struggles and your formula on gets getting some positive spin here. So   01:54 lay it all out for me.   01:57 So I noticed, first, let's start with like the brach string. I noticed with that, that my right eye is stable, but my left eye is like moving when I moved the string in and out. Like it's moving back and forth. But my right eye seems to be staying still. Or maybe my right eye is just more linear. And my left eye is doing like a curve around sort of thing. I think, from the exercises that I've been doing, it seems like my left dies the problem.   02:35 When I now that my I think I've been suppressing the left eye for a long time. And so now that I've been doing the exercise, it seems to be coming back, which is making the double worse. But that's like you said it's an intermediary step. And I agree with you completely, I have to have that one to see for them to work together.   02:54 And so now,   02:57 since the left is showing up, I've been trying to like, look at what the left eye sees, instead of what the right eye sees. Does that make sense.   03:06 And when I look at what the left eye sees, it moves closer to the right eye, so it's getting more in line with my right eye.   03:16 But I can only see what the left is, I always see double. But if I focus on a single thing that left I will show up, then I can see both pictures very clearly if I if I focus on one thing   03:35 the dot chart when I was trying to do that I was getting them kind of to line up but then I noticed I have two pen points.   03:44 And I'm not I think what is supposed to happen is they're supposed to be a convergence in the middle of those two dots, isn't it?   03:53 That's one way you can do it. There are there are a variety of ways you can   03:58 Okay, what was happening to me is I was creating a.to,

If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode.     00:46 everyone, its Dr. Sam and I'm here in Hawaii. We are live and book signing here for a little bit and had some great folks coming by. And so I've been getting a lot of questions and part of my trip has been teaching Consulting and a little bit of fun. But I thought I would take a few questions as well. I had a minute. So I received a question from Lisa and she's got a condition called macular degeneration. And in this scenario, she wants to know what can she do to help her macular see better so she's got the dry kind.   01:30 So of course it always comes down to a couple of things very simple. First of all, the ingredients lutein and zeaxanthin as are such important karate noids that they feed the macula. And so if you've got any kind of Macula issues, you want to make sure you're getting lutein, zeaxanthin and the third one which is a marine prod Noid, asked to Xanten and you can get those through foods. Think about the colorful vegetables, the red, the green, the yellow, the orange, those plant pigments contain the necessary ingredients that feed the macula. And of course, that's the sad thing is the Marine Corps annoyed where you get that through wild caught salmon or shrimp or things like that. But you can also get it through a micro algae supplement. Also,   02:26 I would also protect yourself from the damaging blue light, especially after 6pm. So wearing blue blockers is another proactive practice that will help   02:38 protect your maquilas. And the third aspect that I would consider in especially in the dry form is making sure you're getting enough vitamin A and the trace minerals zinc helps in the absorption of vitamin A. And those fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A lutein and zeaxanthin. We know in Chinese medicine and acupuncture, the liver rules the eyes. So if you're having difficulty with liver function, either getting some acupuncture or you can also supplement by supporting your gallbladder and pancreatic enzymes. That'll help you absorb your fat soluble vitamins better, I would cut down on your sugars and make sure you're eating only natural natural foods not processed. And of course the last thing which is hot, hot hot right now is my read exercise glasses. And I've done a ton of   03:45 posts on the research on red light and how it affects the mitochondria both in the macula and in the retina. So treating yourself with a red light every morning is very, very important.   04:01 So as we move along here that they see about taking another question, this is from Robert. He's got myopia, and he's thinking about LASIK surgery. So I just did a podcast pros and cons of lasik surgery. And so I would point you to a couple of my blogs that I've done and podcasts on the pros and cons of lasik surgery. Remember, when you have a prescription in your eye, there is the eye prescription and there's also the mind body brain prescription. I know that may be foreign for a lot of people but we want to blame faulty vi...

With our with our session?   00:56 Okay, what what do you what are you thinking about? I would like to focus on my my son Alexander is 18 months old. I think you could see him right there. Can you see him say hi? Yes, I can.   01:08 He's 18 months old. And I noticed since birth one of you I don't know if it's one or both or depending is looks like it's slightly off. I don't know if you receive the pictures I sent.   01:21 Just okay. And I attempted a golden I like an ophthalmologist but I kind of walked out politely because they just wanted to do too much dilate. I just didn't want to do that just yet. And I'm wondering if you could help assess what the problem might be. And if there's something natural or exercise or something holistic that could maybe be treated or   01:43 want to make sure it's not an issue and it's not going to get worse and you know, something I have to be ahead of.   01:50 Absolutely. So Alexandre is 18 months old. Is that Is that correct? Yes. Okay, and tell me a little bit about your gestation period, the birth process. Anything unusual there? I went through IVF for about eight years. I had him when I was 51. I actually carried him through to 37 weeks. And we were supposed to go to 40 i My pregnancy was fine. No issues. No you no nausea, no cravings, nothing. It's just up to 37 weeks. i My blood pressure was starting to elevate so my OB wanted to to take him out and we did a C section. He was born four pounds along the weight 15 ounces. And they said he was just under five pounds. So they had to put him in a NICU and they said it's because he had a little low blood sugar and low body temperature. We were both in the hospital for about five days. Me to regulate my blood pressure and then my son to regulate his body temp and his sugar. And then we released and since then he's you know, he's seeing a holistic pediatrician and he's taking vitamin D probiotic, and DHA and NACA what? He's been healthy hasn't been sick.   03:05 Great. Okay.   03:08 So, after the birth, brought him home, what is his? What is his mobility? Does he move around a lot? Is he on his tummy at all? Do you know what's kind of active mobile activities? Are you engaging with him when he was when he came home from the hospital or in general? Well, you know, after so he's 18 months. So we've got you know, a little bit of track record here. Obviously, you know, is there any mobility on the floor? Is he scooting, calling? Tell me about his his mobility experience? Yes, he's right now he's walking. He loves to activity walks, almost runs around the house. He's very active.   04:01 Let's see, we take him outside and I just stay focused. But this is his baby nurse. This is MISA. She's known him since birth.   04:09 She could chime in. He loves to be outdoors.

And I took a look through his book. And it's very, very wonderful, fascinating things that I loosely follow, even though I see pretty well. I'm a little bit disappointed that not everyone's wearing glasses, though, because that seems like a missed opportunity. I hope you enjoy what he has to say. And I think it would be very beneficial for everybody. We do have the book available if you need it to be signed. And Please enjoy yourselves. And I hope you'll learn all you can.   01:56 Well, before I begin, I have a couple of thank yous. First of all, I'd like to thank the yard for hosting me tonight. And also, I would like to say my partner and wife, Charlie, she has really supported me over the years. And there are people in this audience that I would like to thank that have both helped me with the book, and just been great supporters. I'm gonna keep it anonymous. But I'm deeply grateful for their support. And so let's begin. I want to see a show of hands of people who have either worked with me take one of my workshops, or so Okay, a few of you. That's great. So, you know, in my story, one of my Northstars is when I was about eight years old, I I grew up in a middle class family, my parents really emphasized education. My mom was a schoolteacher, my dad was in business. And my grandparents and my aunts and uncles, they always stressed going to school reading, I remember my uncle, I would go see him. And he had this library kind of like this room. And I would go in and pick one of his books. And the problem was is that I was labeled as learning disabled. And I was a really poor reader. And my mom took me everywhere. In fact, I don't know if you remember, Evelyn was sure speed reading. That was like one of many things we did biggest waste of money. But we ended up we ended up at an eye doctor's office. And of course the doctor gave me a pair of glasses. This is a kid he uses these. And so I started down the road of being nearsighted. And the way I got through school was memorizing. So it became this brainy kid, and I worked really hard. But there was not a good reader. I did enjoy reading. So fast forward, I got through college, got to a professional school. By this time, my glasses were pretty thick. And I couldn't see the big E on the HR. So I was like, my perfect optometrist, just couldn't see. But I met this doctor. And he was called a behavioral optometrist. So if you think of the two words together, it's kind of a juxtaposition. It's kind of an oxymoron behavior vision. What does that but anyway, this His name is Dr. Al Shankman,

So today I'm going to comment on a recent c and n report, which is connecting Alzheimer's disease to your eyes.   01:08 So we know that the eye brain connection is really solid. In fact, the eyes originate from the brain prenatally. So every tissue of the eyeball has its roots in the brain.   01:26 And when you start looking into the eyes, you can actually monitor and see disease very early, whether it's diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma, just to name a few. But you can see systemic disease in the retina   01:51 very early.   01:54 So in this latest research paper that was published,   01:59 the researchers took a look at the relationship between cognitive health and eye health. So let me explain.   02:14 One of the key markers in Alzheimer's disease is something called beta amyloid. It's a it's a key marker, which can tell us what is the state of brain health and predict if there's going to be cognitive decline.   02:36 Now they're actually cells called micro glial cells. And these particular cells are responsible for maintaining other cell health in the brain, repairing cell health in the brain, and getting rid of this beta amyloid   03:01 collection that can occur both in the brain and of course, as I doctors, we can actually see it in the retina.   03:09 So one of the key things that we look for is inflammatory disease markers in that, which can   03:21 tell us whether there's going to be a problem later on. And one of the markers I use is something called homocysteine. I've talked about this in other podcasts. If your homocysteine levels are high, you're probably dealing with a level of inflammation that you want to deal with.   03:41 And in this particular study, what they took a look at is these amyloid beta plaques, were starting to show up in the eyes. And if they do, then you can start Alzheimer's treatment much earlier.   04:03 To go into the specifics of the study.   04:08 Basically, what happened was that 86 people had died and they donated their retina and brain tissue to science, and they had different degrees of mental decline. So researchers compared the samples from these donors from normal cognitive functioning people or mild cognitive impairments, and they found that this beta amyloid marker was the key factor, especially when we pick it up in the retina. So the moral of the story is, if Alzheimer's runs in your family, or you are concerned about Alzheimer's, getting a regular yearly eye exam, where an eye doctor can do a   05:00 A specific analysis of the retina picking up this beta amyloid tissue. You have a chance of actually being able to maybe start a protocol. One of the people that I follow is a guy named Dr. Bredesen,

And this is some of the stuff I do as volunteer through an organization that I work for called score, helping businesses. And so you'll hear some of my insights on how I'm building my brand, my social media, and I hope you enjoy the show. This past weekend, I did a book signing at the ark, bookstore, and, and I, I basically, now I have a videographer now that I've hired but what he did is he had three cameras, we, we videoed the whole talk, which was really good. And now I'm turning that into a podcast. And it was a really great presentation, at least that's what people said. And it was a live event. So you know, getting to do those is is really good. And the q&a, what I've done with that is each part. So I'd q&a in the group, and then people would come up, and they would have their individual comments and questions. And we told them ahead of time, everything is videoed, so I got some great interactions from people one on one, where you know, everything from, gee, I'm so frustrated with my current doctor, what do you recommend? Or you know, I've been using your stuff for six months, it's really working, what do you think I should do next? So we take those and then repurpose them for shorter posts. And, again, it's just I try to repurpose everything I can, your time is more efficient that way also, because, you know, like this, this lady who is one of my competitors asked me to do a presentation for her private group. And I said, Well, I want to be able to video it. She said, No, you can't. I said, Well, how about this, I'll video it, just my part. And I won't video the q&a at the end or your people, she said, I don't care, you can do that. So that makes it worth it for me to do it, because I'm not getting paid for it. So I'm always looking at ways like next week, I'm taking a trip, and I'm gonna document the trip, gets a book signing, and there's some other things I'm doing. So I'm going to document the trip, document, different things I'm doing. And again, repurposing it. So that gives me that 48 content pieces a day, I've got so many at this point that, you know, it just keeps it going every week, I'm I'm doing you know, 100 to 200 posts, and I see the growth from that, because not everybody sees the the same, you know, post depends on their feed, and you know, who they're following and stuff like that. So, and I had a thing where somebody threatened me around the eyedrops, you know, and so I had a contact Instagram and say, Look, this person is personally attacking me in a way that's a little threatening, and they came stepped right in, they blocked the person, and I don't know what they did with them. But, you know, if anybody ever does that to you, I don't take it, you know, I immediately I just block them and say goodbye. I mean,

And can you give us a background on where you've come from and who you are?   00:46 Thank you, Sam. So happy to be here. I have I'm a somatic movement therapist, and educator, I've been doing this work for over 20 years, a whole body of work that ranges from somatic movement to hands on body work that I do for private one on one clients in person. So I it's been a fun journey to bring all these things together. And it was a big kind of effort to put the book together to distill things down. But I'm glad it's out there.   01:26 Well, you know, when I read the book, you know, what, what jumped out at me is how you have put all these different disciplines together. And so how did you develop this system?   01:41 You know, it was, it was kind of piece by piece, mostly, it was focused on how to improve outcomes for clients. So if there was something that I could kind of see that just wasn't fitting in place, I would research it, I did a lot of different types of trainings that may be kind of unusual, but I, one of the books that really turned things around for me was Dr. John Radies book on the fourth theatres of the brain and attention, and he, he's a psychiatrist, and he wrote about the sensory system, and the importance of it. And it really spoke to me, because I was already doing the modest work. I had been exposed to Bates work, back in the early days when I first studied yoga therapy, and was training. So I learned about that in India, and I said, Oh, that's just yoga for vision. And so the, as every, the threads of these things came together,

Here is a session with somebody who recently had cataract surgery and is currently struggling with Glaucoma and dry eye. In this session, I focus on the relationship between her high myopia and Glaucoma. There is a very strong correlation to our refractive error and eye disease.

This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com. Great to have you on my EyeClarity podcast today. So I gave a session that somebody recently diagnosed with glaucoma. And she just had cataract surgery as well. She's also dealing with dry eye. But the point I want you to hear about is the relationship between her high myopia and her glaucoma. There is a very strong correlation to our refractive error and eye disease. I know that's not talked about very much in the medical literature or even in, you know, clinical practice. But when you develop a certain prescription like myopia, especially at minus 14 in the right eye and minus 11 in the left eye, that's a high degree of tunneling and pulling in your vision which creates compression in the eye tissue, which is parallel to what Glaucoma is. It's a tunneling. It's a tightening. And there are different reasons why we develop glaucoma. Amin is a vascular disease, but function changes structure, how we use our anatomy is going to eventually change the anatomy and physiology. The other piece I want you to think about is this patient was very nearsighted. And then she had cataract surgery and she became farsighted. And I talked about the ramifications of that in the session, because if you're near sighted your personality or behavior, your response to life is very different. The mindset is very different than if you're farsighted. And so those of you that say are thinking about refractive surgery, or cataract surgery, the best way to go is if you're nearsighted before surgery, you want to be nearsighted after surgery. And if you're farsighted before surgery, you want to be farsighted after surgery. The difficulty comes in when you are nearsighted before the surgery and you become farsighted after the surgery like this patient and I talk about the influences and also the effects of this discrepancy and how it may be playing into glaucoma dry eye and other things. I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks again for tuning in, leave a comment or review on Spotify, Apple, or my website. I have your history in front of me and your intake form. And it sounds like you want some advice from a functional medicine perspective. With optic nerve glaucoma, and   03:22 fuzzy vision and my dry eye,   03:25 your dry eye of course less. So give me a little context on what you've tried. Maybe what the other eye doctors have given you. Your glaucoma meds if you're on any   03:39 Yes, actually. The glaucoma meds I'm only in my my left eye. I'm on Tima law with dorzolamide. Today in the left eye and then latanoprost at night. I don't take any,

If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com.   Hey everybody, its Dr. Sam and I'd like to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. Well, today I was a guest on Dr. Robert Wiles radio show, and he is a sports podiatrist. They call him the sports doctor. And we had about a 15 minute lively conversation about optometry, concussions, brain injury, and so much more. So everybody, thanks for tuning in, leave a comment on Spotify or my website. And I look forward to seeing you again.   00:38 Dr. Sam Berne. Welcome to The Sport's Doctor   00:42 Thanks, Dr. Bob, great to be here.   00:45 Give us some background on yourself. And you can throw in a definition of holistic optometry while you're at it.   00:55 Sounds good. So when you go for an eye exam, you know, the doctor has you read the eye chart, and you get the Reading 2020. That's a measurement of your eyesight. But vision is how the eyes and the brain and the body work together. So eyesight is only one part of vision. So as a holistic eye doctor, I look at the eyes as an interrelated, interconnected part of the body. And there are things that you can do to improve your vision even as you get older. And that's kind of the difference between the regular eye care, they just say your eyes get worse as you get older. In my, in my practice, people get older and their eyes get better.   01:39 At you know, we see truth for years on the sports doc, the doctor, hand eye coordination, all sorts of eye exercise for some commentators talking about enhancing performance. Regardless of the sport, there's a lot of exciting information in that side, you know, besides the run of the mill, I can't like you said, there's so much more involved, even as a diagnostic tool, I don't like podiatry when many times we might see diabetes for the first time because of a foot symptom. You also might see it when you see the eyes, right?   02:16 Exactly, because the eyes have one of the highest metabolic needs of the body, highly concentrated with those tiny blood vessels. So it's one of the entry ways into the body like the foot. And you can pick up disease very early. And of course, in diabetes, this is a real vulnerable area, I'm talking about the retina. So you know, if you have glucose levels that are off the charts, or you're pre diabetic, you're going to see it in the eyes, it's going to be one of the first places and then you can treat it by doing some holistic things if you want to.   02:56 Well, you talk about embracing your body's ability to strengthen, healing balanced. And again, we talked so much about holistic medicine, I would have complementary medicine and so many different topics, and the sounds I could fit in Absolutely. With a big emphasis on prevention, as well as awareness and education.   03:19 You know, it's being proactive, you know, just with diet alone, the eyes in the brain make up about 2% of the body weight, and use 25% of the food intake.

So the way this is going to work is I'm going to run you through a process on how you can use the essential oils in this. So the first oil, we're going to use his sweet fennel. Fennel works great for digestion, you probably know about it. But the first thing we're going to have you do is just smell it. That's the first thing. It's a now the next thing we're going to have you do is, if I may have the inside part of your wrist, let's do a test patch and see how that feels for you. Any burning any anything on your wrist that problem? Okay, so then the next thing is I like to layer the oils. And either you can use them, like we're going to use them or you could have some coconut oil nearby, if it starts to get too intense. And so I use a drop of a set of nice, it's very subtle. Yeah, it's very subtle. What we're gonna do is we're going to put it up here on either side. So it's kind of in direct line with your eyes, but it's not near you. Yeah, right about. And then the second place we're going to do it is by the temple and the hairline, by the way, so yep. Right. And then we're gonna do the zygomatic bone, or let's say the cheekbone. So we're kind of painting around these, these dots here. So we're doing it here. And here. And here. And here. Here and here. So this is the femoral. That's the one we're starting with. So let's take a moment and see how that how that feels to you. Are you What are you experiencing? From the from the funnel? You can try it.   02:06 I think a sense of calm   02:08 sense of calm. Okay.   02:11 Then, sort of like love then   02:15 we can go into the emotional psychological, because these these can be very spiritual, actually. Yeah, there you go.   02:23 It's also cooling I think in a bit   02:27 and I would say your your eyes situation, you have more heat coming out of your eyes. So anyway, we can kind of get more Yin into it. As you know. I don't know what your Vedic Constitution is a more pizza. Yeah. So with pitta, you know, there's a lot of mental activity.   02:48 Right. Right. Right. And the flex to the liver and the eyes.   02:51 Right. Exactly. Exactly. So the higher Vedic model life study that was you have and that's another way to interpret.   03:03 I think fennel. My I already talked to India used to give me if you my kids had Boyles or any Oh yeah. eruptions. So 10 Raisins. So overnight with two or one teaspoon of fennel powder, we have completely removed all the data from the eggs. Options,   03:21 right? So that's why I chose that for you. Yeah, I know you a little bit. So that was working with a beta on that one. All right. Now the second one we're going to give you is currency. And I want you to smell it. First of all, make sure so all factory goes to the limbic brain. It's really great as a way to introduce yourself to it. So what's your experience with the currency? What do you feel? What do you notice?

SUMMARY KEYWORDS exercises, spasm, eye, muscles, reflex, integration, working, infants, stress, toddlers, vestibular stimulation, called, muscle spasm, visual, bilateral, brain, vision, overwrought, patching, movement patterns Hello, everyone, it's Dr. Sam, I'd like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com. Hey everybody, its Dr. Sam, I'd like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast today. So I'm going to take a question from Dr. Pillai, who's asking about a condition called intermittent exotropia. For infants, toddlers, teenagers and adults, and how is it different? How do I manage it? What are the protocols? So, let's break this down. When our two eyes are working together, they're both aiming at an object in our environment, whether it's up close or far away. So the goal is both eyes are working together. Now, when one of the eyes tends to wander, this is called strabismus. Now we can have an eye wandering in, which is called esotropia. Or we can have an eye wandering out which is called exotropia. In any case, what's going on is there's an integration problem in the brain, in the eyes and in the body. Now, exotropia means the eye is wandering out. Obviously, if it's intermittent, it only happens sporadically some of the time. And maybe some of the time it happens when especially we're talking about, you know, teenagers and adults, it happens when you're stressed or tired, or fatigued, or you're not feeling well. It's kind of a weak link in the eye brain connection. Now, when one of the eyes wanders out, two things happen. Either you get double vision, or the brain says I'm just gonna shut off onto the eyes. And so take your choice, a lot of times, we start off seeing double, but then over time, the brain just says I'm going to ignore, you know, this double image, and I'll just use the eye that is lining up. Now when we see this condition in infants and toddlers, it's a timeframe where there's a plasticity going on, in that we don't want to necessarily try to fix it, either through surgery or patching. But what's a better approach is to work with the whole body through different specific movement patterns. And to encourage bilateral integration with both sides of the body and both hemispheres of the brain, this is going to help you and then tell the eyes, okay, I can have a better opportunity for straightening out. So it's something that I counseled parents to watch, and to maybe do some proactive exercises that can help. But you don't want to do something as invasive as surgery War II patching. Because, first of all, those methods don't work very well. It creates more trauma in the infant toddler, and it's really makes no sense to them. Glasses is also another poor option, because that's not going to do anything as well. So the bottom line is that by doing some bilateral exercises, doing some vestibular stimulation things with these infants and toddlers, working with something called primitive reflex integration, this is primitive reflexes are the motor patterns that we come out of the birth canal with. And they're very important in helping us integrate our, our movement patterns with our vision. And if these reflexes are not fully integrated, they begin to have an effect on our visual development. So doing some primitive reflex therapy can be really effective at reducing this s...

And so take your choice, a lot of times, we start off seeing double, but then over time, the brain just says I'm going to ignore, you know, this double image, and I'll just use the eye that is lining up. Now when we see this condition in infants and toddlers, it's a timeframe where there's a plasticity going on, in that we don't want to necessarily try to fix it, either through surgery or patching. But what's a better approach is to work with the whole body through different specific movement patterns. And to encourage bilateral integration with both sides of the body and both hemispheres of the brain, this is going to help you and then tell the eyes, okay, I can have a better opportunity for straightening out. So it's something that I counseled parents to watch, and to maybe do some proactive exercises that can help. But you don't want to do something as invasive as surgery War II patching. Because, first of all, those methods don't work very well. It creates more trauma in the infant toddler, and it's really makes no sense to them. Glasses is also another poor option, because that's not going to do anything as well. So the bottom line is that by doing some bilateral exercises, doing some vestibular stimulation things with these infants and toddlers, working with something called primitive reflex integration, this is primitive reflexes are the motor patterns that we come out of the birth canal with. And they're very important in helping us integrate our, our movement patterns with our vision. And if these reflexes are not fully integrated, they begin to have an effect on our visual development. So doing some primitive reflex therapy can be really effective at reducin...

Here is a session with somebody who recently had cataract surgery and is currently struggling with Glaucoma and dry eye. In this session, I focus on the relationship between her high myopia and Glaucoma. There is a very strong correlation to our refractive error and eye disease. The difficulty comes in when you are nearsighted before the surgery and you become farsighted after the surgery like this patient and I talk about the influences and also the effects of this discrepancy and how it may be playing into glaucoma dry eye and other things.

SUMMARY KEYWORDS eye, glaucoma, prescription, glasses, people, optic nerve, prisms, castor oil, called, lens, ophthalmologists, nearsighted, farsighted, vision, wear, myopia, red light, talk, physical therapy, eyedrops Hello, everyone, it's Dr. Sam, I'd like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com. Great to have you on my EyeClarity podcast today. So I gave a session that somebody recently diagnosed with glaucoma. And she just had cataract surgery as well. She's also dealing with dry eye. But the point I want you to hear about is the relationship between her high myopia and her glaucoma. There is a very strong correlation to our refractive error and eye disease. I know that's not talked about very much in the medical literature or even in, you know, clinical practice. But when you develop a certain prescription like myopia, especially at minus 14 in the right eye and minus 11 in the left eye, that's a high degree of tunneling and pulling in your vision which creates compression in the eye tissue, which is parallel to what Glaucoma is. It's a tunneling. It's a tightening. And there are different reasons why we develop glaucoma. Amin is a vascular disease, but function changes structure, how we use our anatomy is going to eventually change the anatomy and physiology. The other piece I want you to think about is this patient was very nearsighted. And then she had cataract surgery and she became farsighted. And I talked about the ramifications of that in the session, because if you're near sighted your personality or behavior, your response to life is very different. The mindset is very different than if you're farsighted. And so those of you that say are thinking about refractive surgery, or cataract surgery, the best way to go is if you're nearsighted before surgery, you want to be nearsighted after surgery. And if you're farsighted before surgery, you want to be farsighted after surgery. The difficulty comes in when you are nearsighted before the surgery and you become farsighted after the surgery like this patient and I talk about the influences and also the effects of this discrepancy and how it may be playing into glaucoma dry eye and other things. I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks again for tuning in, leave a comment or review on Spotify, Apple, or my website. I have your history in front of me and your intake form. And it sounds like you want some advice from a functional medicine perspective. With optic nerve glaucoma, and 03:22 fuzzy vision and my dry eye, 03:25 your dry eye of course less. So give me a little context on what you've tried. Maybe what the other eye doctors have given you. Your glaucoma meds if you're on any 03:39 Yes, actually. The glaucoma meds I'm only in my my left eye. I'm on Tima law with dorzolamide. Today in the left eye and then latanoprost at night. I don't take any, any in my right eye because I have the Tribeca elective knee...

This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com. work on two aspects. One is the copper toxicity. And the other is improving your eyesight. So the way this is going to work is I'm going to run you through a process on how you can use the essential oils in this. So the first oil, we're going to use his sweet fennel. Fennel works great for digestion, you probably know about it. But the first thing we're going to have you do is just smell it. That's the first thing. It's a now the next thing we're going to have you do is, if I may have the inside part of your wrist, let's do a test patch and see how that feels for you. Any burning any anything on your wrist that problem? Okay, so then the next thing is I like to layer the oils. And either you can use them, like we're going to use them or you could have some coconut oil nearby, if it starts to get too intense. And so I use a drop of a set of nice, it's very subtle. Yeah, it's very subtle. What we're gonna do is we're going to put it up here on either side. So it's kind of in direct line with your eyes, but it's not near you. Yeah, right about. And then the second place we're going to do it is by the temple and the hairline, by the way, so yep. Right. And then we're gonna do the zygomatic bone, or let's say the cheekbone. So we're kind of painting around these, these dots here. So we're doing it here. And here. And here. And here. Here and here. So this is the fennel. That's the one we're starting with. So let's take a moment and see how that how that feels to you. Are you What are you experiencing? From the from the fennel? You can try it.   02:06 I think a sense of calm   02:08 sense of calm. Okay.   02:11 Then, sort of like love then   02:15 we can go into the emotional psychological, because these these can be very spiritual, actually. Yeah, there you go.   02:23 It's also cooling I think in a bit   02:27 and I would say your your eyes situation, you have more heat coming out of your eyes. So anyway, we can kind of get more Yin into it. As you know. I don't know what your Vedic Constitution is a more pizza. Yeah. So with pitta, you know, there's a lot of mental activity.   02:48 Right. Right. Right. And the flex to the liver and the eyes.   02:51 Right. Exactly. Exactly. So the higher Vedic model life study that was you have and that's another way to interpret.   03:03 I think fennel. My I already talked to India used to give me if you my kids had Boyles or any Oh yeah. eruptions. So 10 Raisins. So overnight with two or one teaspoon of fennel powder, we have completely removed all the data from the eggs. Options,   03:21 right? So that's why I chose that for you. Yeah, I know you a little bit. So that was working with a beta on that one. All right. Now the second one we're going to give you is currency. And I want you to smell it. First of all, make sure so all factory goes to the limbic brain. It's really great as a way to introduce yourself to it. So what's your experience with the currency? What do you feel? What do you notice?

SUMMARY KEYWORDS prescription, glasses, vision, 350s, blurrier, peripheral, distorts, put, relate, cylinder, therapy, little bit, intuitive insights, feel, space, wear, relaxing, lenses, nearsighted, optometry   Hello, everyone, it's Dr. Sam, I'd like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com. All right, Justine, you're the last one. So, tell me a little bit about your vision and how you became nearsighted. And now what was your what's your history?   00:16 Yeah, so I started wearing glasses when I was in fifth grade. And my optometrist prescribed me very strong minus lenses, and didn't tell me anything about visual habits. So I used to color and write really close to the page. And I used to watch TV, you know, from the distance of this computer screen. And so my prescription just continued to climb and climb and climb throughout school. And it wasn't until optometry school that I learned about good visual habits, about you know, relaxing your vision going outside, you know, not being so glued to the screens. But you know, with COVID and technology nowadays, we're always on our screens. And so I do vision therapy with patients. And so I'm actively doing the exercises with them, especially the diverging activities. And what I'm finding is I'm approaching 36 now, and I'm feeling like I'm getting early presbyopic kind of symptoms, where long term your work, it's starting to give me strain and headaches, and I even put a little bit of bass in prison and my glasses just to help with that. But I'm still finding that my eyes get really tired by the end of the day.   01:41 Okay, well, one thing I can say right off the bat, that can really help you is have you ever thought about wanting to reduce prescription?   01:50 Yes, that is what I would love to strive to do.   01:54 Okay. So the way we should do this is, if you've got some filters, and you can get them then what will happen is I'm gonna have you wear them over this, and I'm gonna have no,   02:08 okay, I've got it. I've got.   02:10 So this is a plus 50. And I just want you to wear it over Are you minus six? Like, are you   02:16 are you so I'm actually I'm not minus six. So this one here minus 375 minus 175. Sell. So spherical equivalent is about a five ish, and then left is a minus five. So a lot of so here, zero so   02:33 so we're going to try a couple of things. So put the plus with these over the glasses. Okay, so what do you feel? Comfortable? Some people what's the difference?   02:48 Yes. So definitely more clarity, but I also feel more center not as peripheral. And then when I put these on blurrier, but I feel more open and peripheral things are a little bit bigger.   03:04 Now with your right hand, right, that one I think the pluses of the one okay   03:08 over well this might be minus blurrier How does it feel mentally emotionally? I feel almost like a tingling right here. My nose bridge. Okay. Maybe a little bit of nausea.   03:31 So the nausea is now we're actually much more peripheral. Okay. So now compare the, the right the left hand and also you can look at your print through   03:57 the plus 50 is a lot easier to adjust to   04:01 Okay.

If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberne.com. 00:01 Hey everybody, it's Dr. Sam and I'd like to welcome you to a special EyeClarity podcast today. So we have on the line, the owner of talk story books in kawaii gentleman's name is Ed Justus. And I am doing a book signing at the bookstore this coming Friday. And well, I was curious about having it on and you know, as an independent bookstore, there are not as many of those I would like to see. But anyways, let's bring Ed on to the program. So Ed, tell us a little bit about yourself and how you started the bookstore and give it give us your story.   00:52 Sure, thank you for having me on Dr. Berne. Why I'm originally from Virginia, actually, I came to Hawaii in 2002, just for a visit. And then when I got here, it felt more like home than any place I've ever been. So I just decided to stay. And I started over with a few $100 in my suitcases, and just took it from there. And month to month, I started going around to garage sales and picking stuff up and reselling it on eBay to make a living. And that's after two years of doing that, that's how it sort of became the bookstore. I never actually planned to open a bookstore, it just sort of happened. So there was a landlord couple in the town upon a paper they who I got to meet when I moved to the west side of kawaii and they, after talking with them for a little while they to make the story short, they actually offered me a space free per month to start a business. And at the time, I didn't have any background and books or retail or business. So I it just seemed like a good way to get the eBay, eBay product out of the house. And I figured it customers would walk into the shop maybe I might sell more the eBay product. But it seemed obvious once I removed all the stuff into the shop that it seemed like a bookstore and Curiosity Shop because I had about 3000 use books and a variety of Watson ends. And that's basically how it got started. And I I also didn't know what to call it either because I didn't want it to have a name that would be kind of typical, like paradise books or something boring like kawaii bookstore. I thought okay, what can we call it? So I put it out to the community to ask them, What would you like the store to be called. And eventually somebody came back with a name talk story. And it just fit it just felt right. And talk story is a local colloquialism, which means to chat or to shoot the breeze or to share his story. And that's how talk story bookstore began back in 2004.   03:10 Yeah, I love to hear those stories, you know, has a because you're, you're an entrepreneur, you know, in some ways, and I know the magic of kawaii sometimes you go to a place and you never think you're gonna stay there. And then all of a sudden, you become a pillar of the community. So what has been some of your most interesting, you know,
