Podcast Episode 86

With all the screen time these days, our eyes are getting a bit of a work out! And this may not always be a positive thing. We’re talking strain, fatigue, blurry vision, dryness plus a myriad of other issues that affect eyes regardless of our device exposure. Did you know that nutrition can play a role in the health of those eyeballs? We are using our eyeballs more than ever and manhy of us are feeling it.

Whether it’s aging, the screens or both, our eyes could use a little extra support. And it ain’t just about carrots. Plus we celebrate the good work of Community Alliance for Global Justice. Plus, sponsored by “Broccoli”.

MARY PURDY, RD, INTEGRATIVE & ECO-CONSCIOUS REGISTERED DIETITIAN

First things first: I love chocolate. I love kale. And I consume them both regularly, but generally not at the same time (although, ask me about my chocolate, berry & kale smoothie!) I also love helping people find easy ways make their body, mind, and life better while also making eco-friendly choices that support the health of our planet.
