Energized with Dr. Mariza782: Your Eyes Are Fine. So Why Is Your Brain So Exhausted? with Dr. Bryce AppelbaumHave you ever gotten to the end of a long day on your computer and felt like your brain was simply done?
Your eyes are tired. You can’t focus. Light feels irritating. Reading takes more effort. Maybe you even start avoiding your phone because you cannot look at another screen.
Most of us assume that means our eyesight is getting worse.
But in this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with neuro-optometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum to explain why eyesight and vision are not the same thing.

Health Optimization Medicine PodcastEye Health & Vision Optimization w/ Dr. Bryce Appelbaum | HOMe Podcast #029In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, Dr. Scott Sherr sits down with Dr. Bryce Appelbaum to discuss the connection between vision, screen time, brain function, and nervous system regulation. Most people think of vision as eyesight, or how clearly they can see an eye chart. Dr. Appelbaum explains why vision is much broader. It involves how the brain receives information through the eyes, interprets the environment, coordinates movement, and decides how to respond. The conversation explores how prolonged screen use can narrow peripheral awareness, increase visual stress, and keep the nervous system...

来日方长Longevity Digest #93：如何老得更慢？睡眠、力量训练和提前预警的血液检测本期内容将多种针对细胞健康的干预策略结合起来——例如，每天补充 2–3 克甘氨酸（Glycine），以模拟蛋氨酸限制（Methionine Restriction）的作用；同时摄入未经高温加工的微藻（Raw Microalgae），为身体提供具有保护作用的抗氧化酶。此外，还可以通过 LPIR（脂蛋白胰岛素抵抗指数）和 ApoB（载脂蛋白 B）检测进行早期风险监测，从而有机会在血糖水平明显升高之前，更早发现胰岛素抵抗的迹象。在身体机能方面，可以将短时间、分散进行的日常“运动零食”（Movement Snacks)与渐进式抗阻训练结合起来，以帮助维持骨密度、关节活动能力和肌肉量。在这些习惯的基础上，将每晚睡眠时间控制在 6.4–7.8 小时，并重视规律的面对面社交互动，有助于支持夜间细胞修复，并减少长期的生理压力。综合来看，这些有科学证据支持的实践，旨在帮助减缓多器官的生物学衰老，降低心血管和代谢性疾病风险，维持大脑结构与认知健康，并帮助人在更高年龄阶段依然保持良好的体能与活力。We listen to the best health podcasts for you every week and pull out the key practical tips supported by real personal stories and clinical studies - so you don’t have to.Sep-22, Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, #475: 3 Simple Habits to Reverse Aging..., LONGEVITYSep-22, Dr Tommy Wood, Protect Your Brain, Extend Your Life: 7..., Feel Better Live MoreSep-22, Catharine Arnston, 15g Every Morning for Anti-Aging..., Human UpgradeSep-22, Bria Gadd, 667.

Wei's Longevity NotesLongevity Digest #93: How to Age Slower - Sleep, Strength Training, and the Blood Tests That Spot Trouble EarlyThis episode combines targeted cellular support—such as taking 2 to 3 grams of daily glycine to mimic methionine restriction and consuming raw microalgae to supply protective antioxidant enzymes—with early diagnostic tracking like LPIR and ApoB testing to catch insulin resistance long before glucose levels rise. It protects physical function by integrating brief daily movement "snacks" and progressive resistance training to preserve bone mineral density, joint mobility, and muscle mass. Underpinning these habits, targeting a 6.4 to 7.8-hour sleep window and prioritizing regular face-to-face social connection help regulate overnight cellular repair and reduce chronic physiological stress.

Dr. Bryce Appelbaum specializes in functional vision and the connection between the eyes and the brain. In this conversation, he explains why seeing clearly is only one piece of vision—and how the brain's ability to process what we see can influence reading, focus, coordination, balance, motion sickness, athletic performance, and everyday life.
