“Food Tips for Better Eye Health” features nutritionist Darlene Kvist with co-host JoAnn Ryda and guest ophthalmologist Chris Knobbe (MD), exploring how diet influences conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts. They examine the harms of processed foods, sugars, and seed oils, and explain why nutrient-dense, traditional fats support mitochondrial and visual health.
