    In this engaging live episode of Ask the Doctor, host Dr. Michael Lange of the Lange Eye Institute in The Villages, Florida, welcomes listeners to call in with vision, eye care, and nutrition questions at 877-969-8600. A board-certified optometric physician and certified nutritional specialist, Dr. Lange shares his expertise on common eye issues: a caller discusses occasional flashes and long-standing floaters, leading to advice on vitreous changes, retinal tear risks, the value of dilated exams with OptoMap imaging for early detection, and protective nutrition like colorful fruits/veggies and sunglasses. Another addresses severe nighttime glare and halos from headlights (despite glaucoma drops), with insights on emerging cataracts, dry eye management using hyaluronic acid drops like Oasis Tears, windshield/glasses cleanliness, and potential prescription tweaks.

    The show highlights men's health strategies, emphasizing broccoli sprouts (rich in sulforaphane for prostate protection and better testosterone-estrogen balance via the NRF2 pathway), pomegranate for urolithin A and testosterone support, tomato products for PSA reduction, and high-quality non-denatured grass-fed whey protein (like Fortify Super Protein) to boost glutathione, immunity, muscle building, and overall longevity. Dr. Lange discusses omega-3s (in re-esterified triglyceride form) for lowering aggressive prostate cancer risk, reducing inflammation, and supporting dry eye/eye health. He promotes his evidence-based Fortify Vitamins line (fortify.com or F-O-R-T-I-F-I-E-Y-E.com), including Super Protein (New Zealand grass-fed, no price hikes amid shortages), upcoming Fit Meal with organic broccoli sprouts, whey, and Pomella, plus Super Omega for heart, joint, brain, and eye benefits.

    Additional highlights include the recent Mardi Gras Festival success at the Lange Eye Institute, exclusive drive lenses for improved night vision, Meta/Oakley smart glasses (and iDaptics for low vision), the power of annual dilated exams for detecting silent conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, and motivational stories of health transformations through nutrition, exercise, and weight management. Sponsored by the Lange Eye Institute (352-753-4014) and Fortify Vitamins (866-503-9746), with more at drmichaellange.com and YouTube archives.
