    How to Fight Chronic Inflammation Naturally

    Today on Ask the Doctor, Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton explored one of the most important topics in health and longevity: chronic inflammation—and what we can do to help control it naturally. Acute inflammation is a necessary part of healing. However, when inflammation becomes persistent, it can contribute to numerous conditions affecting the eyes, joints, cardiovascular system, brain and the entire body. Dr. Lange explained how an anti-inflammatory eating plan—especially the Lange Survival Diet—may help reduce the dietary factors that drive chronic inflammation. The doctors also discussed several nutritional compounds that work through complementary inflammatory pathways: • Re-esterified triglyceride omega-3 fish oil: Learn how Fortifeye Super Omega® and Super Omega-3 Max® support a healthier inflammatory response, cardiovascular health, brain function and ocular health. The doctors explained omega-3 index testing, the balance between series-2 and series-3 prostaglandins, and how EPA and DHA serve as precursors to specialized pro-resolving mediators such as resolvins and protectins. • Next Gen Curcumin® fueled by Curcugen®: Many conventional curcumin products have limited absorption. Curcugen is a food-grade turmeric oleoresin designed for enhanced bioavailability and broad activity across multiple inflammatory signaling pathways. • Black Currant Seed Oil with GLA: Fortifeye Black Currant/GLA provides 140 mg of GLA. GLA can be converted into DGLA, which supports the production of series-1 prostaglandins involved in maintaining a balanced inflammatory response. Dietary sources include black currant seed oil, borage oil and evening primrose oil—foods and oils many people rarely consume. • Fortifeye Rejuvenate®: This advanced formula contains Morikol® marine collagen tripeptides, a readily absorbed form of collagen that supports the skin, hair, nails, ligaments and joints. It also contains premium German-sourced hyaluronic acid to support joint lubrication, mobility and comfort. Dr. Lange and Dr. Summerton also highlighted Fortifeye Omega Relief Extreme®, which combines Fortifeye Super Omega®, Next Gen Curcumin® and Black Currant/GLA to support multiple pathways associated with inflammation, joint comfort and whole-body wellness. Dr Lange also discussed Fortifeye Complete Advanced Nutrtion multivitamin / eye vitamin. He claims to have changed this formulation 17 times in the last 20 years and there isn't anything quite like it on the market. He also promoted an omega 3 website called www.healthbenefitsofomega3.com The doctors answered many excellent listener calls, making this another informative and engaging episode of Ask the Doctor.

    Dry Eye Relief, TearCare, Omega-3 & Anti-Aging Tips with Dr Michael Lange and Dr Christine Gillikin

    Dr. Michael Lange, Dr. Christine Gillikin, and Roger Schulman host an informative—and very upbeat—episode of “Ask the Dr.” focused on dry-eye relief, healthy aging, cognitive health, nutrition, and longevity. Roger Schulman opens the program with 8–10 practical anti-aging strategies he has learned over the years from appearing on “Ask the Dr.” These lifestyle tips may help support cognitive performance, overall wellness, and a longer, healthier life. New Lange Eye Institute optometric physician Dr. Christine Gillikin then shares four foundational steps she recommends for dry-eye patients: 1. Heat the meibomian glands 2. Clean the eyelids and lashes 3. Lubricate the cornea and ocular surface with high-quality artificial tears, such as Optase or Oasis Tears Plus 4. Improve nutrition to support healthier tears and ocular-surface function Dr. Lange and Dr. Gillikin discuss the many causes of dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), and the importance of developing an individualized treatment plan. They explain TearCare®, an in-office procedure that applies controlled heat to blocked meibomian glands and is covered by many insurance plans when medically indicated. The doctors also explore the benefits of Lumenis OptiLight IPL for inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction, along with the importance of a high-quality re-esterified triglyceride—or rTG—omega-3 supplement for eye health and overall wellness. Dr. Lange highlights Fortifeye Super Omega and discusses the science behind Fortifeye Black Currant Oil with GLA for supporting dry-eye patients. Both doctors discussed a bend new technology they now have in the Lange Eye Institute in The Villahes called the Guadi Profilometer. This technology does a topographical map of the cornea and the sclera and allows the doctors to fit a super custom scleral lens to the eye that will fit well and have amazing vision. They also chime in about the amazing benefits of having an optomap done at your eye visit so the dr can see everything in the back of the eye. Additional topics include: • Diet and nutrition for dry-eye relief • Weight management for ocular and whole-body health • Fortifeye Fit Meal and Fit Bites for jump-starting healthy weight-loss goals • The three-container bundle special on Fortifeye Organic Blue-Green Superfood • Answers to live callers’ questions about dry eye, eye health, nutrition, and longevity Dr. Gillikin received enthusiastic feedback from callers during her first appearance on the program. Her knowledge, personality, and natural chemistry with Dr. Lange and Roger made this a fun and highly educational show. The team also announces the Lange Eye Institute “Wild Wild West” Fall Festival on November 14 from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Save the date and join the fun!

    Dr. Michael Lange & David Snow: Nutrition for Longevity, Omega-3s & Superfoods

    Dr. Michael Lange & David Snow: Foods for Longevity, Omega-3s, Eye Health & Weight Loss Dr. Michael Lange welcomes special guest co-host David Snow of “Dr. Health Radio,” a veteran health talk-radio personality who has been broadcasting since 1990. The incredible chemistry between these two longtime hosts made this an especially informative and entertaining episode of “Ask the Doctor.” David Snow also shares stories about some of the famous celebrities and fascinating personalities he has interviewed during his many years in radio. Dr. Lange and David discuss how eating more fruits, vegetables and fish may support whole-body wellness, healthy aging and longevity. They review research suggesting that higher blood levels of marine omega-3 fatty acids—whether obtained from eating fish or taking a quality fish-oil supplement—are associated with a reduced risk of premature death. A plant-rich diet combined with adequate omega-3 intake may help support cardiovascular, brain, eye and overall health. Dr. Lange highlights Fortifeye Organic Blue Green Superfood as a convenient way to supplement a healthy diet, particularly for people who struggle to consume enough fruits and vegetables. It is fully transparent, made in the USA and contains no proprietary blends. A three-container special currently brings the price down to approximately $28 per container. Dr. Lange also discusses combining a quality superfood with a re-esterified triglyceride—or rTG—omega-3 supplement such as Fortifeye Super Omega. Dr. Lange emphasizes the importance of routine comprehensive eye examinations as a form of preventive healthcare. An eye examination can uncover much more than vision problems. The eyes may reveal early signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, vascular disease, autoimmune conditions, neurological disorders and other systemic health concerns—sometimes before a person notices symptoms. Other fascinating nutrition topics include: • Pineapple and its natural bromelain enzymes • Figs for fiber, potassium and digestive regularity • Allulose, a rare sugar naturally found in foods such as figs, and research into its potential effects on appetite-related hormones, including GLP-1 • The antioxidant and anthocyanin benefits of blueberries, particularly smaller wild blueberries • Why broccoli sprouts and broccoli microgreens can provide substantially more sulforaphane precursors than mature broccoli • Combining broccoli sprouts or microgreens with tomato paste or tomato sauce to support prostate and overall health • Why blending berries with high-polyphenol-oxidase ingredients—particularly bananas—may reduce the availability of certain beneficial flavanols Dr. Lange and David also introduce the delicious new Fortifeye Fit Bites. These portion-controlled treats are designed to help curb appetite and reduce overeating. Dr. Lange explains how some competitive bodybuilders are using Fit Bites during contest preparation when controlling hunger and achieving greater muscular definition are priorities. The show also explores exciting new technology at Lange Eye Institute. The GAUDI Corneo-Scleral Profilometer rapidly maps the shape of both the cornea and sclera—the white portion of the eye. This advanced topography can reduce trial-and-error and help doctors design more precise scleral contact lenses for patients with irregular or diseased corneas. Listeners from New Orleans, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida contributed many excellent questions throughout the show. Dr. Lange and David also discovered that they both celebrate their birthdays in September! Dr. Lange wishes everyone a safe and happy Labor Day. All Lange Eye Institute, Lange Eye Care and Fortifeye Vitamins businesses will be closed Monday for the Labor Day holiday and will reopen Tuesday. Watch the complete episode for valuable information about nutrition, omega-3 fatty acids, fruits and vegetables, superfoods, appetite control, weight loss, preventive eye care, scleral contact lenses, longevity and healthier aging.

    The Future of Protein and Creatine Is Coming: Inside Fortifeye’s Cutting-Edge New Supplements

    On today’s episode of Ask the Doctor, Dr. Michael Lange was joined by Taylor Moncado, Managing Director of Fortifeye Vitamins, for a packed hour of eye health, nutrition, protein, fitness and healthy aging. Dr. Lange opened the show by announcing that his special guest on Saturday, September 5, will be veteran talk-show host David Snow, host of “Dr. Health Radio” since 1992. During today’s program, Dr. Lange and Taylor discussed: 👁️ MACULAR DEGENERATION & GLAUCOMA Dr. Lange reviewed natural, medical and surgical approaches to macular degeneration and glaucoma while answering a caller’s questions. he also discussed Fortifeye Eye Pressure and Neuro cognitive support supplement for glaucoma patitents. He mentioned a new 2.5 second procedure for glaucoma called DSLT 💪 NATURALLY SUPPORTING TESTOSTERONE Another caller asked how men can support healthy testosterone levels naturally. Dr. Lange discussed the importance of resistance training, adequate protein, healthy body composition, quality sleep and proper nutrition. He went into some detail of what to eat. 🥛 GRASS-FED WHEY PROTEIN Dr. Lange and Taylor explained the benefits of high-quality, grass-fed, non-denatured whey protein and discussed the new, delicious vanilla flavor of Fortifeye Super Protein. They also explained that whey may not be appropriate for everyone. Some individuals with dairy or whey allergies, certain autoimmune conditions, or digestive sensitivity may experience bloating or other symptoms.  🥩 GRASS-FED BEEF PROTEIN ISOLATE—IN DEVELOPMENT Fortifeye is now developing a grass-fed, grass-finished beef protein isolate for people seeking a dairy-free alternative. The team is also considering a beef-isolate version of Fortifeye Fit Meal. 🐟 HOW TO CHOOSE A QUALITY OMEGA-3 Dr. Lange explained the difference between the re-esterified triglyceride—or rTG—form of omega-3 fish oil and the ethyl ester, or EE, form. He reviewed why he generally prefers the highly absorbable rTG form used in Fortifeye Super Omega and Fortifeye Super Omega Max. 🔥 NATURAL WEIGHT-MANAGEMENT SUPPORT Fortifeye Fit Meal and Fortifeye Fit Bites were discussed as convenient options for people looking for a natural, protein-centered approach to appetite control and weight management. ⚡ FORTIFEYE CREATINE 2.0—COMING SOON Dr. Lange and Taylor previewed a new super-micronized creatine currently in development. Fortifeye Creatine 2.0 is expected to use an approximately 500-mesh creatine designed to dissolve more completely and potentially be easier on the digestive system than many traditional creatine powders. It may be available within the next month. 👀 NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR EYE FLOATERS The hosts reviewed emerging research into nutritional support for eye floaters. They discussed combining Fortifeye whey protein with pineapple and tangerine or orange, along with coconut milk if desired. This provides protein and L-lysine along with vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids. They also discussed Fortifeye Complete Multivitamin as a source of zinc, grape-seed extract and additional nutrients studied for their potential role in supporting the vitreous and overall eye health. Nutritional support should complement—not replace—a dilated eye examination, especially when floaters appear suddenly or are accompanied by flashes or a curtain over the vision. 🌱 NEW COMPLETE VEGAN PROTEIN—IN DEVELOPMENT Fortifeye is also developing a highly digestible vegan protein combining fava bean, pea and canola proteins. The goal is to deliver a complete essential amino acid and branched-chain amino acid profile comparable to whey, with a PDCAAS score of 1.0. It is being designed for people who avoid dairy, follow a vegan diet, or require a gluten-free option. 🍽️ HOW MUCH PROTEIN DO YOU REALLY NEED? Dr. Lange and Taylor explained the difference between consuming enough protein merely to survive and consuming enough to thrive. They discussed daily protein targets, protein quality, meal timing and practical ways to distribute protein throughout the day. Many other callers had their questions answered during this informative episode of Ask the Doctor!

    Protein, Creatine and Eye Health: Expert Tips from Ask the Doctor

    Today’s episode of Ask the Doctor, hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton, was packed with practical information about nutrition, healthy aging, weight management, brain health, muscle strength, bone density and healthy vision. Dr. Lange opened the show by thanking the Florida Chiropractic Association for welcoming Fortifeye Vitamins as a sponsor of its convention. Fortifeye also recently sponsored Tampa Fit Fest at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Fortifeye Fit Bites™, Fit Pro® and Fit Meal™ were especially popular at both events, along with Super Omega-3 Max®, Organic Blue Green Superfood and Next Gen Curcumin®.  The doctors emphasized the importance of beginning the day with a high-protein breakfast containing approximately 25–30 grams of protein. A protein-rich breakfast may improve satiety, reduce unnecessary snacking and support healthier weight management.  Dr. Lange shared one of his favorite breakfasts: Fortifeye Super Protein Vanilla blended with pineapple, banana and coconut milk. On other mornings, he may choose an egg omelet or Fortifeye Fit Meal. His message was simple: prioritize protein, but rotate your food choices to obtain a broader range of nutrients.  The doctors also discussed the growing research behind creatine for adults of all ages, including its potential benefits for muscle strength, cognitive function and bone health. They highlighted research involving postmenopausal women and the potential role of creatine supplementation when combined with resistance exercise.  Dr. Lange also introduced listeners to CreActin™, a new #510-mesh, ultra-micronized creatine monohydrate. Its exceptionally fine particle size is designed to improve mixing and suspension while reducing the sediment and gritty texture commonly experienced with some creatine powders. The manufacturer also reports encouraging preliminary pharmacokinetic findings regarding bioavailability. However, Fortifeye Vitamins is carefully investigating the complete research, purity testing, sourcing and manufacturing documentation before deciding whether to incorporate CreActin into a future product. Fortifeye remains committed to using only ingredients that meet its rigorous standards for science, purity, transparency and performance. The show concluded with an informative segment on nutrition for healthy vision, including specific foods and targeted supplements such as Fortifeye Focus®, Next Gen Curcumin® and Next Gen Macular Defense®.

    Can You REALLY Slow Biological Aging? New Science on Living Longer & Healthier!

    🧬 Can You REALLY Slow Biological Aging? | New Longevity Science Explained Can we actually slow down biological aging? That was the focus of this week’s Ask the Dr. with Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton. While we can’t stop chronological aging, exciting new research suggests our daily habits may influence how quickly we age biologically. This episode explores the latest science on longevity, healthy aging, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle strategies that may help you live longer—and healthier. In This Episode We Discuss: 🧬 Telomeres & Biological Aging What telomeres are, why they matter, and how exercise, quality sleep, stress management, proper nutrition, and maintaining muscle mass may help support healthier aging. 🍊 Vitamin C, Cortisol & Recovery How vitamin C helps reduce oxidative stress after exercise, supports recovery, and may help maintain healthy cortisol levels. Chronically elevated cortisol has been linked to accelerated aging, muscle loss, abdominal fat, and cognitive decline. 💊 Can a Multivitamin Slow Biological Aging? We reviewed exciting new research suggesting that taking a quality daily multivitamin may help slow biological aging. We also discussed Fortifeye Complete, our premium multivitamin and eye health formula that has been refined 17 times over the past 20 years. 🫐 A Nutrition Hack Most People Don’t Know Research suggests that fruits high in polyphenol oxidase (PPO)—such as bananas, apples, pears, and avocados—may reduce the availability of beneficial flavonoids found in berries like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. We explain how to maximize the benefits of these antioxidant-rich foods. 🪥 Should You Brush Before Breakfast? We discussed research showing that beneficial oral bacteria help convert dietary nitrates into nitric oxide, which supports healthy blood vessels and blood pressure. Using antiseptic mouthwash immediately before eating may interfere with this process. 🚶 Walking for Longevity Around 8,000 steps per day has been associated with lower mortality, better cardiovascular health, improved cognition, and a lower risk of dementia. 🏋️ Strength Training As little as 60 minutes of resistance training per week has been associated with improved brain health, better muscle preservation, stronger bones, and reduced mortality. 🚴 Cycling & Pedal-Assist E-Bikes Cycling remains one of the best low-impact exercises. We also discussed new research showing that pedal-assist e-bikes may improve both physical fitness and psychological well-being because riders still pedal while enjoying longer, more consistent rides. 🍫 AJ Tries Fortifeye FitBites Live Our engineer AJ tried two Chocolate Raspberry Fortifeye FitBites before the show. Halfway through the broadcast he joined us live, saying they were delicious, his energy improved, and his hunger completely disappeared. 🎄 Christmas in July Extended Our Christmas in July Bundle Specials have been extended through tomorrow. 💪 Fortifeye at FitFest Tampa Fortifeye Vitamins is proud to sponsor FitFest Tampa at the Florida State Fairgrounds in just a couple of weeks. 🥤 New Protein Products Coming Soon We introduced two exciting upcoming products: • Fortifeye Super Protein Vanilla – Premium grass-fed New Zealand whey protein concentrate with an outstanding new vanilla flavor. • Fortifeye Vegan Protein – A gluten-free blend of North American pea, canola, and fava bean proteins, providing a complete amino acid profile with a PDCAAS score approaching 1.0. The Bottom Line Healthy aging isn’t about finding one miracle supplement. It’s about making smart choices every day: ✔ Eat a nutrient-dense diet ✔ Stay physically active ✔ Build and maintain muscle ✔ Walk daily ✔ Manage stress ✔ Prioritize quality sleep ✔ Recover properly ✔ Consider evidence-based nutritional supplements Small daily habits can have a profound impact on your long-term health and quality of life.
