About this listen

 I am Dr. Lynn and welcome to Vision Beyond Sight. Join me each week as I have powerful and inspiring conversations with my guests in the areas of health and wellness, vision care, brain health, education, sports, and psychology. They will share their inspirational stories of healing and life transformation through their treatments and vision expansion. For more than 45 years as a developmental optometrist, I’ve helped thousands of people transform their lives through vision training and visualization. Now, my passion has shifted from treating patients individually with traditional vision problems to empowering people to utilize their inner vision through visualization. My mission is to inspire and empower millions of people through their vision and visualization skills so that they may see and experience their world through the lens of clarity, courage, and confidence. And with my new way to look at your life through a new “lens”, you will be ready to meet yourself and receive visualizations for miracles to come. Your vision does not define you...you define your vision. A Vision Beyond Sight. About Dr. Lynn Hellerstein A pioneer in vision therapy and developmental optometry, for more than 30 years Dr. Lynn has helped thousands of children and adults improve their vision and transform their lives — at home, in the classroom, and most recently on the playing field. Her breakthrough methods unlock barriers to learning and “rewire” around brain injuries, and vision perception or processing deficits. But you don’t have to have a vision problem to benefit: her brain training strategies may be the missing magic if you’re an athlete trying to nail a tricky shot or stay cool in competition. 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. Her award-winning series, SEE IT. SAY IT. DO IT!®, is the happy result.© 2026 Toginet Radio Hygiene & Healthy Living

    Staying Sharp: How Brain Science Can Combat Cognitive Decline with Dr. Therese Huston (Episode #152)
    Apr 16 2026
    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. Huston 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. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

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

    Redefining Longevity and Healing Injuries through Regenerative Medicine and Neurostimulation with Dr. Aneesh Garg (Episode #151)
    Apr 9 2026
    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.

  • From Science to Sight: Foundation Fighting Blindness Accelerating Hope and Advancing Retinal Disease Breakthroughs with Dr. Amy Laster (Episode #150)

    From Science to Sight: Foundation Fighting Blindness Accelerating Hope and Advancing Retinal Disease Breakthroughs with Dr. Amy Laster (Episode #150)
    Mar 26 2026
    Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight sits down with Dr. Amy Laster, neuroscientist & Chief Scientific Officer at the Foundation Fighting Blindness that advances cures for retinal diseases, to talk about bridging cutting-edge science with human connection and leading the Foundation Fighting Blindness to accelerate research for rare eye diseases. As a neuroscientist-turned-nonprofit leader, she shares how translating complex science into human impact is advancing treatments – while keeping patients, families, and possibility at the heart of every breakthrough. Dr. Laster shares her journey from neuroscience into nonprofit leadership, revealing how her “superpower” of big-picture strategic thinking helps drive research forward more efficiently. 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. Beyond the lab, Dr. Laster highlights the importance of community, family support, and ensuring patients remain at the heart of every scientific advance. 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.
