Here is a peek into my recent class where we explored the science around neuroplasticity. This was our introduction to what kind of topics we would be covering. Keep an eye out for more clips from this class to come. Enjoy the show. If you want more, sign up for my newsletter at: www.drsamberne.com.

Hello, everyone, it’s Dr. Sam, I’d like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast. This is a show that offers cutting-edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to hello@drsamberene.com. Now to the latest EyeClarity episode.

So I'd like to welcome you to this particular subject. It's one of my most exciting and dynamic areas of expertise. And so today, what we're going to do is we're going to explore some of the science around neuroplasticity. And this is, you know, readily available on the internet. But what's unique about this class is that I both have done the research, and I'm a practitioner. So the way I describe that is I'm in the dirt, meaning that at this point, I've helped 1000s of people with pretty severe eye problems, brain issues, trauma, neurological imbalances, autoimmune issues. And so if you've been diagnosed with any of these conditions, and I list these because these were all the conditions that people wrote in about dry eye, and let me go back here dry eye, cornea issues UV itis, which is an inflammation in the eye. Cataracts, we just got done with our cataract course, floaters retinal wrinkles, tears, generations in the retina retinopathy, this myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism traumatic brain injury, and there are some people taking the class that doesn't have eye problems, but they're interested in improving their brain health, you know, with the uptake of things like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, people are very interested in how to improve their brain health or just overall neurological functioning. There are some people in the class that are interested in bodywork, somatic, body-centered health, and based on, the mat and the blanket that I showed you.

In the introduction video, we're going to be doing some somatically based movement and other things, I'll get to that. Some people are just curious about how to improve their performance and vitality. So wherever you are in the process, because people wrote me and said, Well, is this the right class? For me, I want to assure you that yes, this is the right class. And this is a very unique class, in that you're going to get both science and practice. Alright, so let's talk about the brain for a minute, because there's so much out there in terms of research, and you know, new technologies. But just some fast facts about the brain. The typical brain comprises about 2% of the body's total weight but uses 20% of the total energy and oxygen intake.

And that's really important to know about the oxygenation because we talk about that with the eyes that the reason why we develop a lot of eye problems is that we aren't getting the mitochondria function which produces the energy, and we're getting starvation of oxygenation in the eye tissue. The same goes for the brain. Another fast fact that most people don't know about the brain is that it is actually 73% water, you know, as infants are over 90% water and as we age, we begin to dry out We dehydrate. And this particular practice today is going to help you learn to rehydrate yourself. Now, it only takes 2% of dehydration.
