    The Eye Health Summit

    We live in a world dominated by screens. From smartphones and tablets to laptops and televisions, screen time has become inescapable. Americans now average 7 to 9 hours of screen exposure daily, and the consequences are taking a toll on our vision - no matter your age. Digital eye strain has reached epidemic proportions, with symptoms of blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches. More alarmingly, excessive screen use may be fueling a sharp rise in myopia (nearsightedness), particularly in children. Based on these trends, half the world’s population is expected to be nearsighted by 2050. Integrative nero-ophthalmologist Dr. Rudrani Banik (Dr. Rani), founder and medical director of EnVision Health NYC visits with Mark Alyn to discuss eye health and to invite listeners to the upcoming free The Eye Health Summit (May 1 - May 7th).  The problem goes beyond discomfort. Increased screen exposure strains the eye’s focusing system, leads to poor blinking habits, and exposes us to high-energy blue light, which interferes with sleep cycles and may contribute to retinal damage. Nearly 20 million Americans have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with 1 in 10 adults over 50 showing early signs. Glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness, affects 3 million Americans, often with no symptoms until severe damage occurs. With cataracts and other sight-threatening diseases on the rise, early detection and preventive care are more critical than ever. The Eye Health Summit, a free, global event taking place on May 1–7 coinciding with National Healthy Vision Month. This summit, hosted by Dr. Rani, will feature more than 35 expert-led discussions on topics from eye strain and ocular nutrition to cutting-edge advancements in eye health. At this free summit, participants will learn practical strategies to help safeguard their vision now and for the future: https://theeyehealthsummit.com   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

    Unpacking the Hidden Risks of Popular GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs: What You Need to Know

    As the holiday season approaches, the pressure to shed extra pounds intensifies. Many are turning to trendy weight loss solutions like GLP-1 inhibitors—such as Ozempic and Wegovy—hoping for rapid results. But at what cost? While these medications have gained popularity for their effectiveness, experts warn that they come with hidden risks that could compromise long-term health.With nearly 100 million Americans struggling with obesity, GLP-1 inhibitors seem like a quick fix. However, could this shortcut to weight loss be trading pounds for health problems? Let’s explore the lesser-known dangers of these medications and how you can protect your well-being.The Silent Dangers of GLP-1 Inhibitors—and How to Mitigate Them1. Gastrointestinal Issues: More Than Just an Upset StomachWhy It Matters: Many dismiss nausea or vomiting as minor inconveniences. But did you know these symptoms could point to something much more severe?The Risk: GLP-1 drugs can lead to gastroparesis—a condition where the stomach doesn’t empty properly. This can result in chronic digestive issues that might become irreversible.What You Can Do: Start Slow: Doctors should begin with the lowest possible dose, increasing gradually while monitoring for symptoms.Stay Hydrated and Eat Fiber: Patients can manage mild gastrointestinal issues by staying hydrated and incorporating a fiber-rich diet.2. Accelerated Muscle Loss: The Hidden Weight Loss ConcernWhy It Matters: Weight loss isn’t always equal. Losing muscle mass, not just fat, can slow down metabolism, increase frailty, and make long-term weight maintenance harder.The Risk: Muscle loss linked to GLP-1 drugs can make daily activities a struggle, especially for older adults.What You Can Do: Exercise Matters: Weight-bearing exercises can help, though not everyone can stick with them.Consider Fortetropin: This natural bioactive compound from fertilized egg yolk has shown promising results. A recent study by the University of California, Berkeley revealed an 18% increase in muscle protein synthesis in adults aged 66—even without exercise. Available exclusively through healthcare practitioner lines like MYOS MD, Fortetropin could be a valuable addition to your weight loss plan.3. Off-Label Misuse: When Weight Loss Becomes RiskyWhy It Matters: GLP-1 inhibitors are meant for specific medical conditions. Misusing them for quick cosmetic fixes can backfire.The Risk: Rebound weight gain is common after stopping these drugs. Worse, the regained weight often comes back as fat, not muscle, leading to an even higher fat-to-muscle ratio than before.What You Can Do: Understand the Risks: Patients should fully comprehend the intended use of GLP-1 drugs and the consequences of off-label use.Prioritize Lifestyle Changes: Balanced nutrition and regular exercise remain the most sustainable solutions for long-term weight management.4. Mental Health Side Effects: The Emotional Toll of GLP-1 DrugsWhy It Matters: Mental health often takes a backseat in weight loss journeys, but psychological well-being is crucial for long-term success.The Risk: Users have reported mood swings and heightened anxiety. Experts believe these drugs might be affecting the brain’s reward system in unexpected—and dangerous—ways.What You Can Do: Stay Connected: Open conversations with healthcare providers about mental health symptoms are vital.Seek Support: Incorporate stress-reducing activities like mindfulness, yoga, or counseling into your routine to manage mood and anxiety.The Bottom Line: Balancing Weight Loss and Overall HealthWhile GLP-1 inhibitors offer promising weight loss benefits, they are not without risks. From digestive complications to muscle loss and mental health challenges, the potential downsides warrant careful consideration.Before turning to medications like Ozempic or Wegovy, focus on sustainable lifestyle...

    Blending Historical Fact and Fiction in Crime Thrillers

    Mike Cobb, author of The Devil You Know and its sequel You Will Know Me by My Deeds, discusses his writing journey and the inspiration behind his character-driven crime novels. Cobb began his writing career with Dead Reckoning, a historical crime fiction novel set in 1895 Atlanta, based on the real-life murder of a prominent merchant. Fascinated by crime, particularly cold cases, Cobb weaves his passion for history and storytelling into his work.Drawing from personal experiences and extensive research, Cobb’s books focus on characters like Billy Tarwater, the protagonist of his recent novels. Cobb describes Billy as a reflection of his younger self, embodying a strong connection to his Atlanta roots. For Cobb, compelling characters take precedence over plot, with their development guiding the story.The author also delves into the darker aspects of his writing. His upcoming book will fictionalize the execution-style murder of a young woman he knew personally, a case he has investigated for years. Cobb acknowledges the emotional and personal risks of addressing real-life tragedies but feels driven to explore them through fiction.In discussing crime fiction’s evolution, Cobb emphasizes the power of subtlety, preferring to leave graphic details to the reader’s imagination. He believes this approach enhances the impact of his stories. Additionally, Cobb touches on the role of historical fiction, blending fact with creative storytelling while ensuring an engaging narrative.With a fourth book set for release in April, Cobb remains dedicated to shedding light on unsolved mysteries and societal issues through his unique blend of historical context and character-driven plots. Readers can find his works on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Mike joins Mark Alyn on this edition of Late Night Health.
