Yes, pun intended!) to the interconnectivity of our eye health and our diets and lifestyle.Did you know that nearsightedness is taking such a marked uptick in the last 1-2 decades that theres a whole subspecialty of optometry where there wasnt one before? We dont know exactly WHY this is happening, but Dr. Gioia and I explore a few possibilities (and how to reverse and/or mitigate them for your families!).Bottom line - you need this interview if:* your kids have never had a real eye exam (or if you dont know the difference between an exam and a screening)* your kids have any sort of learning difficulty* your family isnt a huge fan of greens (or if you still think carrots are the best eye food)* your kids (or adults in the fam) spend more than 20 minutes in a sitting on screensI love how practical Dr. Gioias advice is, and I know youll love it too!Visit the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse and see how we teach children confidence in the kitchen: https://kidscookrealfood.comFind all the Kids Cook Real Food Healthy Parenting Connector videos at https://youtu.be/GVRq0m-Ehe4
