Welcome to the podcast today. It's great to be here. So we're going to talk a bit about the eye-limb connection how to drain and detox clear eyesight and vision. So the one thing I want to say to start off with is that you know, for most of us we spend our day on digital devices and I don't know how many listeners out there followers. have things like puffy eyes strain redness and you're concerned because you're staring at a screen all day. Well in this podcast, what I want to do is I want to give you some exercises. Just a very simple approach on how to boost your eye lymph body connection because you see the eyes don't have a direct lymphatic system and so they rely on movement. The eyes rely on movement hydration and proper circulation to get rid of inflammation and oxidative stress. So if you have any of those things like blurry vision puffy eyes, then stay tuned. So let's talk a little bit about the lymph and since the eyes have no direct lymphatic connection. They do rely on hydration and movement and the eyelids are key player in this because they house the glands that produce the tears that keep our eyes from getting dry. So it's very easy to get inflammation. In fact, a lot of systemic inflammation can lead to eye brain inflammation. Obviously what we eat gluten, dairy and sugar. our big factors, but also how we stare at our screen actually locks down our lymphatic function and this can cause these symptoms that I've spoken about. So the role of eye massage and I'll talk a little bit of what I mean by eye massage. I'm also going to bring in what we call the Vegas nerve because the Vegas nerve is very important.

I'm going to be giving some advice on how to reduce myopia. People ask me questions whether or not you can actually improve myopia. Well, of course you can. In fact, you can improve your vision at any age. Hope you enjoy the show. Here we go. You could do to be proactive is you can download. A Snellen acuity chart. It's free and print it out and put it somewhere 20 feet away. And that could be a measuring stick for you to see, you know, how close you are to passing the driver, the vision part of the driver's test. In most states, you need 2040 and so you don't need 2020. And 2020 means seeing a 1 third inch letter at 20 feet. So you're you're looking at a fairly sizable letter and as long as you can pass it with both eyes somewhere with a correction. There's no problem. And now I'm going to deconstruct this a little bit for you and it may or may not make sense. It may not resonate. But here's the pattern I see in you. Here's the pattern. Growing up, you began to tense your eyes. And when you tense your eyes, you give up the distance to keep your world close to you. That's the successful part of your seeing up close. Now what goes along with that tension sometimes is you feel Sam Berne (02:02.978) Like you have to defend yourself. Like you're on a constant alert. Yeah, yeah, looking for threats looking for threats. Now that mental energy, whether it's conscious or unconscious that you're putting into your eyes because your eyes are the bodyguards for you. They're like the advanced sentry, you know, that sits outside where you live and is watching. When's the next fire? Do I smell smoke? What's that siren? So your prescription in your eye is everywhere in your body. It's not just in the eye. So the cataracts, you're allegedly forming and I can give you what symptoms are. What a cataract is on a kind of a very deep level is ...
