Hey, everybody, I wanted to introduce this podcast, it was a State of the Union that I gave on how I see holistic eye care in 2023. I touch on a number of different subjects. And I wanted to share with you so I hope you enjoy the show, take care, what I wanted to do is I wanted to start off and give kind of a State of the Union of how I see holistic eye care in 2023. And I'm going to weave in everybody's sharing so that it's more appropriate for you individually than just kind of spilling off because I could go in a lot of directions. So in 2023, one of the things one of the trends that I see in Well, overall holistic health is that people are wanting to take more responsibility for their health and wellness, not just their eyes. But I think this was accelerated through the COVID period. But even before that, I think people were exploring, you know, things like herbs and aromatherapy. And, you know, just finding professionals who would listen to them and not just see them as a number. And you know, one of my sayings is, whenever I evaluate a person, I don't just look at the numbers, but I look at the person behind the numbers. And I remember when I study Chinese medicine and acupuncture, one of the things that really blew me away, as I learned how to read pulses was that a lot of times on the surface, people would have certain symptoms. But if I treated the cause, then the symptoms would go away. And I think all of the people in this class today are seeking that, or if they're, you know, if they haven't experienced it, they've experienced it with me, by finding me online.

So one of the one of the things that I see changing is that people are going to be more say, self directed and empowered to work more in partnership with their doctor. And, you know, over the past six months, patients have said to me, they're really happy that I create an environment where I'm not just the authority, and that I have I'm the only one with the answers, but that we work together even if it has to do with certain prescriptions that they're looking through. Because by doing that, it creates a more healing environment instead of saying some of the ophthalmology experiences that people have had, where the doctor says, Well, if you don't have this procedure, you're going to go blind, or in children if you don't get this really strong glasses prescription and wear it full time. You know your child is going to lose his or her eyesight. So that's that's one trend that I see going on. Another trend that I see going on, is that people are starting to talk about mitochondria. This seems to be a buzz, and not only in eyecare although I don't know how many eye doctors are actually thinking about mitochondria. There's a few but certainly in the functional medicine functional nutrition world.
