Dr. Stephey: If our two eyes are not working together well as a fast synchronized team, our internal mapquest continues to be off. It's consistently inconsistent with our ability to judge time and space. Those that don't feel well-grounded, those that have some measure of anxiety, oftentimes it starts in the visual system. If you can't move, look and listen in a fast, accurate, effortless, sustainable, age appropriate, meaningful way, you're in a world of hurt. There's a whole world in vision and how it affects brain function that no one's ever shared with you. 20/20 is perceived as a holy grail of going to the eye doctor. Well, I'm here to change that paradigm.
Tim Edwards: This is episode three of the Move Look & Listen podcast with Dr. Stephey. I'm Tim Edwards with the Inbound Podcasting Network. Happy to have Dr. Stephey with us here in our roster of shows as we move forward in the Move Look & Listen podcast. Dr. Stephey, we've talked about common eye problems in our last episode and now you alluded to this topic in our last episode and this is I think something that's quite interesting and I think might raise an eyebrow or two of somebody listening on the other side of the speakers. 20/20 is not enough. You've said that from the first day that I've met you and I've known you a couple of years now. 20/20 is not enough. `We've been told our whole lives. Oh you've got perfect vision. You could see 20/20. Not the case apparently.
Dr. Stephey: That is not the case. That's right. 20/20 is presented as a holy grail of going to the optometrist and it is. I'm here to tell you it is a tiny piece of the puzzle. It's an important piece because clarity of vision is a big deal, right? But it's only a piece. So for example, picture three circle venn diagram.
Tim Edwards: Okay.
Dr. Stephey: And one circle is can you see 20/20. One circle is related to eye health. Make sure you don't have dry eye or glaucoma or macular degeneration or bleeding in the eye if you're diabetic or any untold number of eye health issues. That's circle two. Circle one and circle two is where most eye doctors practice. They do have a place for sure and they do have value, but there's the third circle that oftentimes is missing. And within that third circle there's pieces like, eye taming, eye focusing, eye tracking. There's components related to visual-auditory integration, visual-cognitive skills, visual-spatial skills, visual attention, visual processing speed, magnocellular vision or motion processing, visual vestibular or vision and inner ear integration issues.
Dr. Stephey: There's a lot of stuff going on in that third circle. And my experience over the years is that if you don't do vision therapy in your practice, you tend to ignore that third circle. I went to a lunch meeting a number of years ago at a local credit union. They did lunch meetings for their employees. They invited me to come as a speaker and I talked about this specific topic. And I was talking about eye taming, eye focusing and eye tracking. And that if you didn't have those skills, you might get sleepy or tired when you read

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
