Her breakthrough methods unlock barriers to learning and “rewire” around brain injuries, and vision perception or processing deficits.

If it’s a skill you can visualize, Dr. Lynn can help train your eyes — and mind’s eye — on success. Award-winning author Dr. Lynn has extensive professional publications to her credit, but witnessing the joy of her patients overcoming a learning barrier or meeting a sports goal put her on a mission: to deliver her methods into a form that could reach a wide audience of parents and educators, to help more kids and more athletes.

    Staying Sharp: How Brain Science Can Combat Cognitive Decline with Dr. Therese Huston (Episode #152)

    Dr. Lynn Hellerstein speaks with Dr. Therese Huston, cognitive neuroscientist, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker about simple, science-based ways to stay mentally sharp from her book Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science, published by Mayo Clinic Press. Therese explains that cognitive decline isn’t just about aging—it’s shaped by sleep, heart health, exercise, education, and stress. She shares quick tools like a 5-minute sleep reset, list-making, and stress-reducing techniques such as self-touch and breathing exercises. While younger brains process information faster, older brains are better at pattern recognition and emotional regulation. Some forgetfulness is normal, but more serious issues may signal conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's disease. She also highlights that just 10 minutes of daily meditation—using tools like the Healthy Minds app—can help rebuild brain function. The episode wraps with how visualization can improve performance and goal achievement, offering practical ways to keep your brain strong at any age. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology.

    Redefining Longevity and Healing Injuries through Regenerative Medicine and Neurostimulation with Dr. Aneesh Garg (Episode #151)

    Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight sits down with Dr. Aneesh Garg, nationally recognized non-surgical sports medicine physician and two-sport US National Team Physician, to talk about redefining longevity and healing injuries with regenerative medicine and neurostimulation. All of us can get injuries, and whether we take on the football field or the garden, we deserve care like we are athletes. As the lead physician of Dynamic Athlete Clinic, Dr. Garg challenges the archaic method of using steroid injections that only mask symptoms and fast-track patients into surgery. He discussed cutting edge regenerative treatments that actually target the diagnosis and work on the cellular level, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma), stem cell (including MFAT and BMA), focused shockwave therapy and EMTT (extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy). The goal is longevity and to “buy back time” by increasing the number of pain-free, active years. Success, according to Dr. Garg, means achieving results in the shortest effective treatment window, rather than dragging out care without much progress. Dr. Garg also talks about EXOMIND neurostimulation, a kind of transcranial magnetic stimulation that resets the nervous system, improves sleep, reduces anxiety and creates a mental environment that accelerates physical healing and makes you feel “Limitless.” He also touches on their clinic’s pelvic floor treatment program that works for urinary incontinence (in both men and women), performance enhancement and fall/injury prevention. While we now have a number of non-medication, nonsteroidal and non-surgical options available for injuries, Dr. Garg clarifies that not all regenerative treatments are created equal, and he gives research tips and sample questions in finding providers similar to Dynamic Athlete. Whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or simply looking to extend your physical prime, this conversation offers a roadmap to a smarter, more sustainable approach to health and performance.

Together, they unpack what retinal diseases are, the scope of their impact—from rare inherited conditions to age-related macular degeneration—and the innovative therapies offering new hope. From gene augmentation treatments like Luxturna to emerging clinical trials in retinal cell transplantation, this conversation bridges complex science with real-world impact. You’ll also hear powerful patient stories, including Rebecca Alexander’s experience with Usher syndrome and Lindsey Rambo’s groundbreaking role in early gene therapy trials.

She also discusses the Foundation’s ambitious 5-year strategic plan and the evolving ways they measure success—including new technologies like virtual reality testing and using focal points of light. This episode is a compelling look at how innovation, empathy, and purpose are shaping the future of vision science—and why no one facing vision loss has to navigate it alone.

    Always Moving Forward: Leadership, Legacy and Compassion in End-of-Life Care with David A. Jones, Jr. (Episode #149)

    In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight sits down with David A. Jones, Jr., a leading venture capitalist and a well-respected voice in healthcare business and innovation, for a powerful conversation honoring the legacy of his father, David A. Jones, which includes being editor to his memoir, Always Moving Forward - a book of friends, family and building Humana. David shares the remarkable story of his father’s journey from poverty to building one of America’s most influential healthcare companies—beginning as the largest nursing home operator in the U.S. and evolving into a major national health insurance provider. Drawing from Always Moving Forward, he reflects on the leadership lessons that shaped his father’s life and career, including the philosophy he carried from his time in the U.S. Navy: “The most important responsibility of a leader is to decide.” The conversation goes far beyond business. David explores the deep challenges facing today’s end-of-life care system—from fragmented care and the “schlepping” many patients endure between providers, to the urgent need for better coordination, compassionate communication, and more humane approaches. They discuss the promise of community-based palliative care, the role of physical therapy and musculoskeletal health in preventing decline, and why addressing loneliness, addiction, and holistic wellness must be part of the future of healthcare. Above all, they reflect on what most people truly hope for in their final years: dignity, comfort, and the assurance they are not a burden. This episode blends personal storytelling, healthcare insight, and timeless wisdom—including touching family memories and reflections on finding joy in music and life’s simple moments.
