Eye Health and Migraine Relief (Live Community Call)


Listen Later

Did you know your eyes can actually tell the story of your overall health? My guest today, Dr. Rudrani (Rani) Banik, is a Board-Certified Neuro-Ophthalmologist and Functional Medicine Expert who blends the best of science with everyday lifestyle changes. She’s sharing how the food on your plate, the supplements you take, and even your daily routines can protect your vision as you age. And the best part is that it’s not complicated, just small steps that make a big difference.

 

If you’ve ever dealt with dry eyes, struggled with screen fatigue, or worried about your eyesight getting worse over time, this conversation is for you. Dr. Rani explains the surprising reasons eye drops don’t always work, her simple three-step eyelid routine, and the key nutrients that act like “super fuel” for your eyes. She also connects the dots between what’s happening in your eyes and what that can reveal about your heart, brain, and overall wellness.

 

Dr. Rani has been featured everywhere from Good Morning America to The New York Times, and her books Beyond Carrots and Plant-Based Visionary Kitchen are must-reads for anyone who wants to eat their way to healthier eyes. Tune in now to learn how to keep your vision sharp and your eyes vibrant for years to come. And if you’re ready for more, check out my 10-day masterclass at dranna.com/breeze. It’s a fun, simple reset to bring back your energy, your libido, and even your waistline. You can also explore my favorite women’s health cream, Julva, and my brand-new Mighty Maca Mango, which makes the perfect refreshing pick-me-up for hot days.
