Unlock the fascinating connection between your eyes and your brain in this episode! Did you know that your retina can reveal early signs of brain disease—even years before symptoms appear? Discover how the eye, formed from brain tissue, acts as a window into your neurological and circulatory health. We’ll dive into new research showing that simple eye exams may one day predict aging and age-related diseases like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and even Alzheimer’s.
You’ll learn about the role of the optic nerve, the latest breakthroughs in retinal imaging, and how changes in the eye might signal Alzheimer’s up to 8–9 years before a diagnosis. Plus, we’ll discuss why prevention—through diet, exercise, and targeted supplements—is more important than ever for protecting both your mind and vision.

Taurine, lutein, zeaxanthin, mesozeaxanthin, B vitamins, bilberry, ginkgo biloba, omega-3 fatty acids, alpha-lipoic acid, N-acetylcysteine, glutathione, bacopa, lycopene, selenium, zinc, and the mushroom lion’s mane.
