Dr. Sam Berne: Mind-Body Guide for Better Eyesight
If you don't know the difference between vision and eyesight, then you will by the end of today's episode. Holistic Optometrist, Dr. Sam Berne, is our Guest Heretic this week and he'll teach us how vision can be improved with nutrition, lifestyle, sunlight and exercise. Plus he'll discuss the role of vision in conditions like ADHD and answer a listener's question about glaucoma.
Dr. Sam Berne has been in private practice in New Mexico for over 25 years and is an established leader in functional medicine. He uses holistic optometry and vision therapy to improve eye health, vision, and overall wellness. He understands and treats the body as one integrated system rather than a collection of independent organs, in order to identify and address the root causes of disease. This approach views each person as genetically and biochemically unique; therefore, his treatment methods are personalized and tailored to the individual.
Dr. Berne uses whole health methods to give patients approachable, immediately usable, and powerful protocols for improving their vision and wellness. He has developed innovative methods for healing the mind-body-spirit through eye therapy and provides individuals with natural alternatives for reducing disease and improving vitality. These methods offer a holistic solution to children and adults with autism, ADHD, cataracts, dry-eye, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and many other conditions.
