Vision is impacted by stress levels, with relaxation enhancing visual clarity. Stress triggers a fight or flight response, leading to blurry vision and reduced peripheral awareness. Chronic stress causes muscle tension, particularly in the neck and shoulders, which decreases blood flow and exacerbates visual problems. Blurry vision serves as an alert for underlying issues, suggesting a need for a deeper examination of stress and body tension rather than relying solely on corrective eyewear. Additionally, while some vision supplements have beneficial effects, exceeding optimal dosages can be harmful, underscoring the importance of balance in supplementation.
In this episode of The Human Upgrade, vision expert Claudia Muehlenweg and strength coach Dave Mark Bell join Dave Asprey to explore the intersection of natural vision improvement and physical performance. Claudia shares her expertise in the Bates Method and techniques like palming, which help restore clarity and reduce eye strain. Dave Mark Bell highlights how physical training and focus can enhance not only strength but also vision, showing the deep connection between the body and mind.
