Beyond Carrots: The Gut–Eye–Brain Connection to Prevent Vision Loss
What if protecting your eyesight has less to do with carrots—and more to do with your gut, brain, and mitochondria?
In this episode of The Functional Edge, Dr. Julia Ward sits down with Dr. Rani Banik to discuss the root causes of vision loss, the macular carotenoids that truly matter, precision eye testing, red light therapy, and the future of regenerative eye care.
Rudrani Banik is a board-certified neuro-ophthalmologist and functional medicine physician who bridges conventional neurology and integrative eye care. She is the author of Beyond Carrots and the creator of the Ageless Eyes program, focused on preventing vision loss through root-cause medicine, nutrition, and advanced diagnostics.
