Today’s episode of Ask the Dr. is packed with the latest science on nutrition, inflammation, weight management, eye care, and healthy aging. Dr Michael Lange and Dr Susan Summerton host the show today.

We introduce Fortifeye Fit Bites, our brand-new vegetarian and gluten-free functional chocolate bites designed to help support healthy appetite control and reduce cravings. Learn how the combination of Slendesta®, allulose, cocoa, and Reb M stevia works together to promote satiety and support a healthy weight management program. We also discuss why these ingredients were selected based on scientific research and how Fit Bites can fit into a healthy lifestyle. Fortifeye Fit Bites are available for pre-order now and begin shipping this week.

We also take an in-depth look at curcumin and inflammation, explaining why many curcumin supplements have poor absorption and how Fortifeye NextGen Curcumin™, powered by Curcugen®, uses a food-grade oleoresin technology without black pepper extract. We discuss the research surrounding curcumin’s ability to help support healthy inflammatory pathways, including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), COX-2, LOX, and NF-κB, along with its potential benefits for joint comfort, exercise recovery, and overall wellness.

Additional topics include:

• Why high-quality omega-3 fish oil remains one of the most important supplements for overall health.
• Our current Fortifeye Super Omega-3 bundle, offering one of the best values we’ve ever provided. • Nutritional support for individuals taking GLP-1 receptor medications, including the importance of maintaining lean muscle with adequate protein and creatine.
• Why Fortifeye Fit Meal and Fortifeye Creatine + MyHMB + Vitamin D may help support muscle and nutritional status during weight loss.
• Exciting new technology coming to the Lange Eye Institute that allows highly precise three-dimensional corneal mapping for faster and more accurate scleral lens fitting in patients with complex corneal disease.
• Welcoming Dr. Christine Gillikin, our newest optometric physician, who joins the Lange Eye Institute team next week.
