We live in a world dominated by screens. From smartphones and tablets to laptops and televisions, screen time has become inescapable. Americans now average 7 to 9 hours of screen exposure daily, and the consequences are taking a toll on our vision - no matter your age. Digital eye strain has reached epidemic proportions, with symptoms of blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches. More alarmingly, excessive screen use may be fueling a sharp rise in myopia (nearsightedness), particularly in children. Based on these trends, half the world's population is expected to be nearsighted by 2050.Integrative nero-ophthalmologist Dr. Rudrani Banik (Dr. Rani), founder and medical director of EnVision Health NYC visits with Mark Alyn to discuss eye health and to invite listeners to the upcoming free The Eye Health Summit (May 1 - May 7th). The problem goes beyond discomfort. Increased screen exposure strains the eye's focusing system, leads to poor blinking habits, and exposes us to high-energy blue light, which interferes with sleep cycles and may contribute to retinal damage.Nearly 20 million Americans have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with 1 in 10 adults over 50 showing early signs.

EPISODE SUMMARYAfter a successful career in clinical practice, Dr. Chris Knobbe's personal experience with dietary changes led him to investigate the root causes of AMD, the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in people over 50. His research revealed a startling pattern: age-related chronic disease was extremely rare before the widespread introduction of processed vegetable oils into the food supply. Through analysis of data from 25 nations, he found that as vegetable oil consumption increased, all age-related chronic disease rates rates rose in parallel. NOTABLE QUOTE"Between 1851 and about 1930, there were no more than about 50 cases of AMD in all the world's literature. And just to put that in perspective, in 2020, it was estimated there were 196 million cases of AMD."Website: https://chrisknobbemd.com Instagram: @ancestralhealthfoundation Book: "Ancestral Diet Revolution"Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Today we're going to talk about something that could be a game-changer for anyone looking to support their eye health: Visoluten, the retinal bioregulator peptide.  Bioregulator peptides like Visoluten are gaining attention in the field of regenerative medicine due to their ability to target specific organs or systems in a highly focused and natural way, supporting the body's inherent healing processes. So, whether you're someone who's noticing some age-related vision changes, or you're just keen on taking better care of your eyes, stick around because this episode is for you. What is Visoluten? Let's start with the basics. So, what exactly is Visoluten? Visoluten is a bioregulator peptide, specifically designed to support the health of the retina, the part of the eye responsible for turning light into signals that your brain interprets as vision. This peptide works by supporting metabolic processes in the eye tissues, promoting vision health and helping the eye adapt to extreme conditions—whether that's stress from overuse, age-related changes, or environmental factors. How Does Visoluten Work? So, let's talk about how Visoluten works. It's all about regeneration and protection. The peptide supports the metabolic processes within the eye tissues, which helps maintain retinal function and protects the eye from oxidative stress and environmental damage. This is particularly important for maintaining visual health over time. It's a bit like giving your eyes the tools they need to keep themselves healthy, even under stressful conditions. Visoluten also helps to improve blood circulation in the eye, which ensures that the retina receives all the necessary nutrients and oxygen to function optimally. For anyone dealing with conditions like age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy, this can be especially beneficial, as those conditions are often linked to poor blood flow and cellular damage. Now, you may be wondering, where does Visoluten come from? Well, Visoluten is sourced from biologically active peptides extracted from the retina of calves or pigs. This sourcing ensures that the peptides are very similar to those found in the human retina, which makes them highly effective at interacting with human retinal cells. What is a Typical Visoluten Dose? When it comes to taking Visoluten, it's typically available in capsules, with each capsule containing 10 milligrams of the active peptide. The typical dosage varies based on the condition being treated: For degenerative diseases like macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy, the recommended dosage is 1 to 3 capsules, 2 to 3 times daily, for 15 to 30 days. For individuals using Visoluten preventatively or to support eye health, especially for those experiencing eye strain, the dosage is typically 1 capsule twice daily, for 15 to 30 days. For post-traumatic corneal dystrophy, the recommended dosage is 2 to 3 capsules, 2 to 3 times daily, for 15 to 30 days. Some people may choose to continue taking Visoluten long-term, particularly if they have chronic eye conditions or are using it for preventative purposes.  After completing a cycle, it is common for people to take a break (such as 1–2 months) before starting another 15 to 30 day cycle, especially for preventive use.  Visoluten capsules should be taken 30 minutes before meals to optimize absorption and effectiveness. Who Shouldn't Take Visoluten? Visoluten is generally considered safe for most individuals, but like any supplement, there are certain groups of people who should avoid taking it or take it with caution. Here's a breakdown of who shouldn't take Visoluten and potential allergies to watch out for: Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women There is limited research on the safety of Visoluten during pregnancy or breastfeeding. As a precaution, it's always best to avoid taking any supplement unless directed by a healthcare provider. Individuals with Allergies to Ingredients: Since Visoluten is derived from animal sources (specifically the retina of calves or pigs), individuals who have allergies to bovine (cow) or porcine (pig) products may need to avoid it. If you know you have such allergies, you should consult with your doctor before taking Visoluten. Some Visoluten capsules may be made with gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen. If you are vegetarian, vegan, or have a gelatin allergy, this could be a concern. Look for vegetarian or non-gelatin capsules, if available. Children: Visoluten is typically intended for adult use, especially for conditions related to vision or age-related changes. Children under 18 should only take Visoluten under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It's also good to know that it's well tolerated with no reported side effects or complications.  Visoluten can be an important part of a comprehensive approach to eye health and could be especially useful for individuals looking to prevent or manage retinal conditions. Just remember, it's always best to speak with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you have pre-existing conditions or are already on medication. They'll help you determine the right dosage for your needs and ensure that it fits well into your health plan. Thanks for listening to The Peptide Podcast.

Red light therapy and eye health always seems to be a hot topic and somewhat polarizing. On one side, there is all of this amazing photobiomodulation research demonstrating the eye health benefits via RLT. On the other hand, aren't you supposed to wear protective goggles when you do your red light therapy?I discuss my thoughts on the above, and more, when I dive into today's first study that looks at red light therapy for low-to-moderate myopia. ​I also discuss the physiology and pathology that leads to early onset (and, by nature, full blown) myopia. Hint, hint  — blue light may play a critical role. I outline what I would do for an eye treatment and provide insight as to what someone should consider in a device if eye health is the main motivation.In the second article that is hot sizzling off the press, we take a special detour to look at the impact of violet light and its photobiomodulation​ effects on depression. There is some fun rabbit holes secondary to this study, such as learning the impact of violet light for circadian rhythm, the role of OPN5 (a special neuropsin that plays a role in depression) and much more!
