We’ve all heard the old saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but our podcast guest this week wants you to know that they’re also the windows to your overall health – and to how well you’re aging.  In this week’s episode, we’re asking what our eyes can tell us, and how we can maintain optimal eye health as we get older. To help us answer those questions is Dr. Rani Banik – a world-leading board-certified neuro-ophthalmologist who’s joining us all the way from New York City. Dr. Rani specializes in the intricate connections between our eyes and our brain, and is an authority on how our lifestyle and dietary choices can impact our eye and brain health as we age. I loved this episode – Dr. Rani’s passion for her work is so evident in her chat with Shelley, and the discussion really got me thinking about my eye health, which has been something I must admit I haven’t thought that much about ‘till now. The episode is now ready for you to listen to – I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I hope you were as inspired by last week’s incredible chat with Dr. Yael Joffe as Shelley and I were. I know I for one have been incorporating some raw cruciferous veggies into my meals to turn on those amazing detoxifying genes!   And finally, thanks to all of you who’ve been tagging @theagingproject on social media – we love seeing the impact The Aging Project is having on our community!  Amanda x On the podcast this week: ‘Our eyes are a window to our health’ - DR. RANI BANIK\ Dr. Rani Banik has been a neuro-ophthalmologist caring for the eye/brain connection of her patients for more than twenty years, but it wasn’t until western medicine failed to cure her own debilitating migraines that she started thinking there must be something more. After doing her own research into alternative therapies, and then specialist training in functional medicine, Dr. Rani now combines traditional medical and surgical methods with lifestyle and dietary modifications to give her patients a holistic approach to improving their eye and brain health.  Shelley’s chat with Dr. Rani covers a lot of ground – from how to eat for good eye health, to blue light, to the most common eye issue for women over forty, and much more.  Enjoy ladies – and here’s to good eye health! ‘LET’S AGE WELL TOGETHER’ SEASON TWO CHALLENGE SERIES This week’s challenge: Increase your Omega 3 consumption this week. Try to fit in some oily fish like salmon, or plant-based options like chia seeds, or hemp seeds.   Dr. Rani mentioned we need over 25 nutrients to keep our eyes healthy, and the best way to get them is to eat as many different coloured fruits and veggies as possible. She suggested if we eat a different colour with each meal, we’ll get close to those 25 nutrients over the course of a week. Try that!  Make a note of the changes in your vision (e.g. floaters, peripheral vision, flashing lights) and discuss them with your doctor or ophthalmologist.  Take positive action and book an appointment with a neuro-ophthalmologist. Here is the website Dr. Rani mentioned to help you find one near you: https://www.nanosweb.org/  Reflect on the changes you’ve made over the last four weeks and do something nice for yourself to celebrate. Making changes to long-held habits isn’t always easy, but by doing it little bit by little bit, big progress is possible! We’re so glad you’re here with us on this aging well journey!   What we’re loving this week: This week we’re loving Dr. Rani’s Instagram page! She offers so many great tips for maintaining eye and brain health, and she’s so engaging and easy to watch. Check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/dr.ranibanik/?hl=en   You Must Try It The launch of our new sister site is getting closer!

When it comes to aging well, Dr. Frank Lipman is one of the world’s leading authorities. For more than thirty years he’s been practicing what he likes to call ‘good medicine’, focusing on increasing health rather than waiting to treat disease. Widely recognised as a leader and trailblazer in functional and integrative medicine, Dr. Lipman believes good health is about so much more than simply the absence of disease – it’s a holistic state of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellbeing.  Author of several best-selling novels, including ‘The New Rules to Aging Well’, he’s also the founder of New York’s Eleven Eleven Wellness centre, and the Chief Medical Officer at The Well, also in New York. Join Shelley for episode 12 of The Aging Project Podcast, as she chats to Dr. Lipman about:  How it’s not too late to get our health back on track   How our dietary needs change as we get older, and how some simple changes can make huge improvements to our overall health and wellbeing.   How fasting works and its benefits for healthy aging   How to exercise for maximum benefit and mobility as you move through your forties and beyond  What the fascia is and why it’s so important to look after it as we get older  The role of sleep in how healthily we age  Why using alcohol to help you get to sleep is counter productive  Gut health and the microbiome, and how they impact your overall wellbeing  How a positive outlook can help you age well  How your lifestyle choices determine how your genetics are expressed  His thoughts on collagen supplements  Why strategic supplementation can be beneficial for some people  The importance of being kind to yourself as you age The Aging Project is on a mission to discover and share the secrets to aging well, and to empower you to make great choices for your health and wellbeing in your forties and beyond.
