Inside Science Interview Series

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.

Season 2 IJD Show 11 Special Guests Aubrey, Katelyn, Izzy And Joe

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #443.
As part of our Smithsonian Associates, Inside Science, Earth Optimism Initiative, today’s show is an another important one.
I say that a lot lately, because the 50th anniversary of Earth Day is two days away: April 22.
Are we there yet? 
Almost! With just two days until Earth Day, I wanted to make sure you had everything you need to join the global digital surge at EarthOptimism.si.edu
In the surge, we’re getting the whole world talking about Earth Day. We’re flooding digital platforms with messages of hope, optimism, and action to keep the environment front and center in our collective global conversation. 
Join in from wherever you are with the hashtag #EarthDay2020.
Given the social distancing we are all practicing, one of the truly great ways to join in the celebration is to join the digital Earth Optimism event, April 22 - 24.
Our guest today, Paul DelPonte is a long time planet earth, recycling, and environmental advocate.
The Earth Optimism event is just that: an event of optimism about our planet earth, and the 50th anniversary of Earth Day is the right time to celebrate.
Because meeting the shock and awe of extreme floods, droughts, storms, and fires from California and the Mississippi to Venice and the Caribbean calls for plans and action, as well as optimism. As the planet faces changes in climate and increased extreme weather events, adaptation is higher than ever before on the global agenda. But, we have to start thinking we can do this…don't doubt, have faith, and please listen and act on what Paul DelPonte will share with us.
Our in-person interactions will return, but right now we have Paul DelPonte to via internet phone to help us understand how to better celebrate Earth Day 50th anniversary.
My thanks to Paul DelPonte for joining us today to talk about Earth Day, and how the global conservation movement has reached a turning point. We all are aware, and it has been well documented the fast pace of habitat loss, the growing number of endangered and extinct species, and the increasing speed of global climate change. Yet while the seriousness of these threats cannot be denied, there are a growing number of examples of improvements in the health of species and ecosystems, along with benefits to human well-being, thanks to our conservation actions. Earth Optimism celebrates a change in focus from the problem to solution, from a sense of loss to one of hope, in the dialogue about conservation and sustainability. Join me in supporting and attending Earth Day 50th anniversary events such as the Earth Optimism Digital Summit. Again, as Paul DelPonte mentioned, check out earthoptimism.si.edu
And my thanks always to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience. Remember, stay safe everyone, practice smart social distancing, and Talk About Better. The Not Old Better Show. Thanks, everybody.

Actors see the world differently. They understand the natural human wants, needs, desires... Alexander McConkie shares those things with us. Join us for a conversation about passion, mindset, and how acting has impacted a young life.

Show #13: Alexander McConkie

Writing is one of the oldest forms of art, and a scarcity in innovation has left this art form wanting. Matias Kivi is an author who is challenging these traditions. In his latest book, The Fallen King, he experiments with a dialogue-heavy pattern, which he expounds to us in this conversation. This is surely one not to be missed.
