From cataracts and macular degeneration to diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, glycation and its toxic byproducts—advanced glycation end products (AGEs)—wreak havoc on the delicate structures of the eye. With clarity and depth, Dr. Reynolds explains how long-lived eye proteins, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance create a perfect storm for vision loss.
Drawing on recent research and clinical insights, he outlines practical strategies to slow glycation, improve metabolic health, and protect your sight through diet, antioxidants, and lifestyle change. Whether you're managing blood sugar, concerned about aging eyes, or simply want to stay ahead of chronic disease, this episode offers science-backed tools to keep your vision clear and strong.
