Have you ever noticed little shapes or squiggly lines in your vision? This is known as eye floaters. Today, I want to talk about why floaters occur, when they become incredibly problematic and what you can be doing to stop this from occurring in the first place.†
Floaters are actually pretty common as we get older. They start to increase. Researchers estimate that by the time someone is in their 70s, about 30 to 40% of the population has chronic eye floaters.†

Floaters appear as these small spots which are right in your field of vision. They are certainly age-related or induced because of the aging process. One of the things that we recognize about eye floaters is when we have a breakdown of certain nutrients in the body, such as inadequate Vitamin C, a lack of antioxidants and the wearing away of hyaluronic acid. These are all factors that can actually exacerbate or even create floaters.†
When we look at the anatomy of the eye, there is a gel-like substance that is in the middle part of the eye called the vitreous. As we get older, that vitreous starts to shrink within the eye itself, creating these small particles. It is these particles that we’re actually seeing as they pass in front of the macula.†
We have to think about why we are having this issue in the first place. Is it because we’re not getting adequate nutrients?†
We can certainly look at Vitamin C. This is a powerful antioxidant that does a wonderful job in terms of the elimination of toxic waste build up and helps to target and neutralize free radicals. Citric acid itself helps to improve upon proper lymphatic and circulatory supply. Having adequate Vitamin C really does so much to support our visual health. When people experience floaters, having adequate amounts of Vitamin C on board can be very beneficial.†
We can also look at a basic, comprehensive eye vitamin, such as the Macula HxⓇ Advanced. It has NAC, the mineral zinc, Vitamin C, zeaxanthin, bilberry extract and powerful carotenoids. Giving your eyes the nutrients that they need each and every single day is very helpful.†
There is also a strong relationship between eye floaters and calcium. As people get older, there’s always the concern about bone health, so they will begin to use a calcium supplement. There’s an interesting link between the use of calcium supplements and the lessening of frequency of eye floaters. This is why I oftentimes recommend the Bone Powder and the Calplex HxⓇ to people with floaters.†

When we look at the top health conditions throughout the country, there is one condition that is so commonly overlooked and I want to talk about that today. This condition is called tinnitus and it is impacting so many people. I want to give you some insight into what you can be doing and how to approach this particular condition.†
Tinnitus is very closely linked to hearing loss. It is characterized by a persistent ringing or buzzing sensation within the ear. It can be triggered by a variety of different causes. A majority of tinnitus cases are associated with hearing loss.†
The American Tinnitus Association has reported that over 45 million Americans struggle with tinnitus, making it one of the most common health conditions in the United States. For many people, this is a constant and regular condition that poses issues in their everyday lives. This constant annoyance makes it difficult to just do daily tasks. It impacts your ability to focus and get a restful night of sleep. When that happens, that starts to affect all aspects of our overall health, including blood pressure, metabolism, blood glucose levels and more.†
SPECIFIC FOODS AND NUTRIENTS THAT PROMOTE HEALTHY SLEEP – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 265. Listen Now>>
The hair cells within the inner ear are specialized nerve cells that are tasked with translating sound waves into interpretive signals for the brain. Over time, these hair cells can be damaged by loud sounds. They can also become damaged if they are deprived of key nutrients, such as antioxidants, that they need to fend off damaging reactive oxygen species.†
If we try to regulate inflammation within the inner ear and replenish the antioxidants that have been wiped out, this can be very promising to those who deal with this chronic condition.†
One nutrient that can be beneficial is N-acetylcysteine (NAC). This is a naturally-occurring antioxidant that has been shown to protect the inner ear, which can be damaged due to noise. Glutathione also plays a role in supporting hearing. The endogenous antioxidant lipoic acid can also help fend off oxidative stress that impacts the health of the inner ear. B-vitamins such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin also play a role in the health of the nerve cells found in the ear. Magnesium can support proper circulation to the hair cells in the ear. When you combine NAC, magnesium and our Methyl-B formulation, they all work synergistically together. Even coenzyme Q10 and zinc play a significant role in tinnitus as they help support hearing and energy within the ear itself.†
