8 Tips for Eye Health - Dr. Paul Karpecki The Not Old Better Show Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show.&nbsp; I’m Paul Vogelzang and as part of our science and healthy living series, today’s guest is Dr. Paul Karpecki, and we’re discussing a healthy vision for all, but focused on those of us over 60. Did you know that nearly&nbsp;65% of US adults complain of headaches, neck/shoulder pain, and eye strain&nbsp;when using digital devices, reading or doing detail work? Digital Vision Syndrome (DVS) is here and affecting thousands of us. We are at an unprecedented and critical point when it comes to the impacts of increased screen time. As our lifestyle shifts more to work from home, it puts increased pressure on near vision demands, optometrists are reporting record numbers of patients seeking a solution. In a recent study of over 110,000 patients, nearly two-thirds experienced painful symptoms often associated with eye misalignment. More than 55% of them experienced these symptoms on a daily basis.&nbsp;Optometrists across the nation are seeing an uptick of vision issues related to DVS including eye strain, which can lead to headaches, pain around the eyes and pain behind the eyes, as well as neck pain and other related problems. Our guest today is Dr. Paul Karpecki, who has over 20 years of experience running some of the largest dry eye clinics in the United States. Dr. Paul Karpecki is a noted educator and author of over 1000 papers on the subject of Dry Eye Disease.&nbsp; Dr. Karpecki currently serves as the Chief Clinical Editor for Review of Optometry, the most read journal in the profession.&nbsp; Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show via internet phone, Dr. Paul Karpecki. My thanks to Dr. Paul Karpecki.&nbsp; Hopefully, today’s show will help you understand and consider the effects of Digital Vision Syndrome.&nbsp; Remember to check out our website for more details about Dr. Paul Karpecki and Digital Vision Syndrome. &nbsp; My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience…be safe, and remember let’s Talk About Better.&nbsp; The Not Old Better Show. Until next time, thanks, everybody.&nbsp; Check out our new show on KSCW Radio, 103.1 FM Phoenix AZ every Saturday morning at 8:15 AM/PST, and, again, you can find links to listen to the show on KSCW on our website. https://suncitywestradio.com/our-shows/&nbsp; &nbsp;

Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse: How Food Fights Hijacked Our Health and the New Science of Exercise. That is a great title, and it’s a great title to the new book by our guest today, Anastacia Marx de Salcedo  Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse takes us on a fascinating journey that weaves together true confessions, mad(ish) scientists, and beguiling animal stories. Marx de Salcedo shows that we need to move beyond our current diet-focused model to a new, dynamic concept of metabolism as regulated by exercise. Suddenly the answer to good health is almost embarrassingly simple. Don’t worry about what you eat. Worry about how much you move…and moving can overcome, even overwhelm the most disgusting conditions.

That of course is our guest today author Anastacia Marx de Salcedo reading from her excellent new book, Eat Like a Pig, Run Like a Horse: How Food Fights Hijacked Our Health and the New Science of Exercise.  Join us as we discuss the book, deworming, and the fact that there is no magic pill. There is no perfect diet. Could it be that our underlying assumption—that what we’re eating is making us fat and sick—is just plain wrong?  


Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast, author and science writer Anastacia Marx de Salcedo.

The Science of Breaking Bad - Interview with Science Advisor, Dr. Donna Nelson

Inside Science, Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series 

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Inside Science Series, I’m Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #363. 

When you hear the name “Walter White,” of course, the anti-hero of “Breaking Bad” (played by Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston), you likely recall the show’s emphasis on science, as Walter White is a scientist and high school chemistry teacher. During the course of five seasons of ‘Breaking Bad,” Walter White practiced a lot of ad-hoc chemistry—from experiments that explode to acid-based evidence destruction to an amazing repertoire of methodologies for illicit meth-making. But how much of his science is actually scientific? As part of our Smithsonian Associates Inside Science & Technology series, we are joined today by Dr. Donna Nelson, who also worked on “Breaking Bad” and who played an important off-camera role on the show, that of official science advisor, which served as a professional opportunity to bring science into focus within the context of a wildly popular television series. In her role as science advisor to the series, Dr. Donna Nelson, a professor of chemistry at the University of Oklahoma, explained, analyzed, and evaluated the show's portrayal of science, beginning near the end of season 1. The intent was not, of course, to provide a how-to manual for wannabe meth moguls, but to decode the show's most head-turning, jaw-dropping moments—and make sure they were scientifically accurate. Nelson discusses the show's portrayal of chemistry, biology, physics, and subdivisions of each area including toxicology and electromagnetism, as well how she became involved in the show and some of the unusual questions posed to her. Dr. Donna Nelson’s presentation, The Science of "Breaking Bad": Behind the Scenes With the Show's Science Advisor, will be Tuesday, June 25, 2019. Dr. Nelson’s presentation will draw from her new book, The Science of Breaking Bad, which she co-authored, and which will be available for sale and signing. Join me for a fascinating discussion with Dr. Donna Nelson, who’ll add important, behind-the-scenes color about what it was like to work with the creator and writers of “Breaking Bad.” 

Please welcome to The Not Old Better Show, via internet phone, chemist, scientist, educator, Dr. Donna Nelson.
