Good eye health goes way beyond eating carrots, and we have to pay attention to it. Is there any connection between metabolic imbalances and eye issues? How does this affect a diabetic person? Can eye issues be prevented, or even reversed? On this episode, Dr. Sam Berne shares how he solves countless eye issues and why it’s possible to actually do so, even when a condition is genetic.

 

Three Takeaways

 

  • For better eye health, your diet has to include colorful fruits and vegetables, trace mineral and antioxidants.
  • If we can oxygenate and hydrate the retina better through nutrition, we could start to solve a lot of eye issues experienced by diabetics.
  • Lutein and Zeaxanthin are key antioxidants that prevent issues with macular health.
     The best ratio of the two is 10 mg of Lutein per 6mg of Zeaxanthin.

At the start of the show, Dr. Sam shares how he got started focusing on eye health and how he cured his own eye issues. We also talked about what makes up an eye-healthy diet, and some of the biggest myths in eye care. Towards the end of the show, we talked about how vision problems are actually rooted in the brain.

We also discussed:

  • How BDMF can improve your optic nerve health
  • Nutritional ways to improve eyesight
  • The power of natural healing through grounding and earthing


Vision problems aren’t rooted in the conventional aspects of the physical-- they are rooted in the brain. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of doctors delving into this and looking at how eyesight and vision can be improved or repaired. As a result, a lot of people think their issues are genetic and can never change. However, utilizing nutrition, fitness, and overall health can absolutely have a positive impact.
