Many patients come to us after being told their scans are “stable,” their symptoms are “dry eye,” or their condition simply needs to be monitored.
But monitoring is not the same as understanding.
We combine ophthalmology with functional medicine to help uncover the hidden drivers of chronic eye conditions.
Your eyes are not separate from the rest of your body. Inflammation, blood sugar imbalance, gut barrier dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, mitochondrial stress, and low omega-3 status can all influence the delicate tissues of the eye. At our Nutritional Ophthalmology Clinic, we focus on this connection.
Comprehensive dive into your eating habits, behaviors, and innovative testing. We will help you understand the potential of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory foods and what nutrients are vital for good eye health. You will have clarity on establishing a simple eating plan for life that you will feel positive and enthusiastic about making. This is not a diet but a sustainable shift to a healthy lifestyle focusing on eye health.
The sooner you will optimize your blood sugar, the faster you can minimize the risk of progression of diabetic retinopathy and age-related eye diseases. Dysregulated glucose metabolism is linked to diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and inflammatory eye diseases. We will help you balance your blood sugar with powerful nutrition and lifestyle tools and create sustainable change.
What you eat, drink, and do daily will influence your gut microbiome profile. Your gut microbiome influences everything in your body, including your eye health. This complex ecosystem of microbes is linked to uveitis, AMD, dry eye, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other diet-related condition. Discover how optimize your gut microbiome, improve your overall health and ocular function.
Combining innovative diagnostic methodologies, with unique biomarkers, and adopting transformative habits, such as diet focused on gut microbiome and metabolic health, intermittent fasting and circadian rhythm, will help you to feel better. These are proven methods essential for recovery from meal-induced oxidative and metabolic stress and tissue repair.

Transform your view on food and nutrition, and learn simple yet powerful tips on how to balance your blood sugar and improve your insulin sensitivity.

Discover a bidirectional connection between your eyes and the body, especially your gut microbiome. Learn how to reduce inflammation and improve your gut health.
Testing for aging as a root cause of age-related conditions involves assessing biological markers associated with the aging process. By evaluating these markers, we can gain insights into the impact of aging on age-related conditions and develop targeted interventions. This testing helps identify potential strategies to address aging as a fundamental factor in age-related health issues.
Our personalized nutritional assessment offers a detailed analysis of crucial nutritional biomarkers, enabling us to target nutritional therapies precisely. Through the insights gained, we can customize treatments to meet the specific needs of each patient, optimizing their nutritional well-being effectively.
Exploring the gut-eye axis, the gut microbiome, involves analyzing the complex interplay between gut health and eye conditions. By assessing the composition and diversity of the gut microbiome, we can gain valuable insights into its potential influence on ocular health. This testing helps us understand the connection between the gut and the eyes, paving the way for personalized interventions that promote holistic well-being.
