Glaucoma risk, dry eye breakthroughs & Creatine for weight loss

Saturday, January 10, 2026

Today’s episode of Ask the Dr was hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton, delivering an information-packed program focused on eye health, wellness, longevity, and disease prevention.

🎭 Mardi Gras Extravaganza Announcement

The doctors announced the upcoming Mardi Gras Extravaganza at the Lange Eye Institute, taking place February 21st in The Villages. Everyone is invited to attend this fun, educational, community event.

πŸ’ͺ Fortifeye Super Vegan Protein BOGO

Dr. Lange discussed the Buy One, Get One FREE promotion currently running on Fortifeye Super Vegan Protein, available for a limited time on the Fortifeye website.

πŸ‘οΈ Dry Eye Treatment – Natural & Advanced Options

Both doctors reviewed comprehensive dry eye care, including:
• Lid hygiene and lid scrubs
• Warm/hot compress therapy
• Omega-3 fish oil, emphasizing rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) omega-3, such as Fortifeye Super Omega

They also discussed advanced in-office treatments: 
• Lumenis OptiLight (IPL therapy)
• Lumenis OptiLift to help lower-lid laxity and meibomian gland dysfunction

πŸ‹οΈ Creatine & Weight Management

The doctors reviewed new and existing research showing that creatine:
• Supports muscle strength, energy, and overall health
• May help build muscle while supporting fat loss
• Can be used as part of a weight-management strategy, not just for athletes Both doctors discuss the soon to be available Fortifeye Fit Meal one of the most advanced meal replacemnts on the market.

🟒 Glaucoma Awareness Month – Natural Support

In recognition of Glaucoma Awareness Month, the doctors discussed:
• Natural strategies that may support optic nerve health
• The role of omega-3 fatty acids, Mirtogenol, and Neumentix in supporting ocular blood flow

⚠️ These natural approaches do NOT replace medical or surgical glaucoma treatment and are intended only to complement prescribed care. Period.

πŸ‘οΈ Ocular Perfusion Pressure & Blood Pressure

The doctors explained how ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) plays a critical role in glaucoma risk and how both high and low blood pressure can negatively affect optic nerve blood flow.

They emphasized that low diastolic blood pressure, especially at night, can significantly reduce ocular perfusion pressure. Multiple studies show that individuals with low OPP may have a 2–6× higher risk of developing glaucoma.

A diastolic ocular perfusion pressure (DOPP) below ~50 mmHg is associated with:
• Higher glaucoma prevalence
• Faster disease progression
• Increased optic nerve damage

The key takeaway: glaucoma is not only an eye-pressure disease—it is also a vascular disease. Proper blood-pressure management is a critical part of glaucoma care.

Patients with glaucoma should always work closely with their eye doctor and primary care physician. This information is educational and supportive—not a replacement for treatment. Period.

Are You Sleeping Too Much? New Studies on Vision, Brain & Longevity

Saturday, January 3, 2026

Ask the Dr. – First Show of the Year with Dr. Michael Lange & Dr. Susan Summerton

Today’s Ask the Dr. marked the first show of the new year, hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton, and it delivered powerful, science-based strategies to help you live longer, healthier, and sharper.

The show opened with a special BOGO offer on Fortifeye Vegan Super Protein, followed by Dr. Lange’s discussion on the importance of high-quality plant-based protein for muscle maintenance, metabolic health, longevity, and overall wellness.

A major segment focused on sleep and visual health. Dr. Lange and Dr. Summerton reviewed emerging studies showing that both too little and too much sleep can negatively impact the visual system and overall health. Current research suggests an ideal sleep range of 6–9 hours per night, while regularly exceeding 9 hours may increase health risks.

The doctors discussed many lessons learned over the past several years that can help reduce disease risk and premature mortality. They emphasized the foundational importance of diet, exercise, sleep, and proper, evidence-based supplementation for enhancing quality of life, reducing mortality, and slowing cognitive decline.

Dr. Lange reviewed the science behind Fortifeye Focus & Brain and discussed key ingredients that support brain circulation, cognition, and neuroprotection. He shared personal insight into how this formulation has helped support his mother’s cognitive abilities.

A major portion of the show focused on the power of omega-3 fatty acids and the importance of using the correct form. Dr. Lange and Dr. Summerton explained why triglyceride (TG) and re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) forms are critical for absorption and effectiveness. They discussed studies showing that Fortifeye Omega-3 fish oils, including Fortifeye Super Omega, raise the Omega-3 Index to an average range of approximately 9.2–11 percent, a level strongly associated with improved heart health, vascular protection, and reduced mortality.

The doctors also discussed the importance of curcumin, emphasizing that only the proper bioavailable form delivers real benefits. Dr. Lange highlighted CurcuGEN curcumin and its potential role in helping with retinal drusen, inflammation, and many other systemic health conditions. Dr. Lange shared that omega-3 fatty acids and curcumin are two of his favorite foundational nutrients for long-term health, eye health, and brain protection.

Both doctors reviewed natural strategies to help reduce clot formation in the body and the eyes, reinforcing the importance of a proactive and integrative approach.

The show concluded with an important discussion on comprehensive eye exams, including dilation and Optomap imaging. Dr. Lange explained how eye exams can detect eye disease and early signs of systemic health problems, including three specific ocular findings that may be associated with an increased risk of dementia. These exams can be vision-saving and life-saving.

The program featured great listener calls from across the country and was an informative and engaging way to start the new year.

Ask the Dr. airs live every Saturday.

Live longer, think sharper, see better: New Years Resolutions to help you thrive & not just survive

Saturday, December 27, 2025

In today’s episode of Ask the Dr., Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton kick off the New Year with science-backed resolutions designed to help you live longer, think clearer, and thrive—not just survive.

We dive deep into the power of resistance training for cognitive health and longevity, citing multiple studies showing reduced mortality, improved brain function, and healthier aging. Strength training isn’t just about muscles—it’s about protecting your brain and extending lifespan.

We also discuss the critical role of omega-3 fatty acids, highlighting compelling research showing reductions in atrial fibrillation, cardiovascular death, heart attacks, and strokes. Dr. Lange explains why the form of omega-3 matters, recommending rTG or TG forms—and why re-esterified triglyceride omega-3s are among the doctors’ top New Year’s choices. We also cover RTG omega-3s for dry eye disease and ocular surface health.

The doctors break down the benefits of advanced dry eye treatments, including Lumenis OptiLight IPL and OptiLift, explaining how these technologies can improve blink dynamics, reduce inflammation, and dramatically relieve dry eye symptoms.

Nutrition takes center stage as we explore why consuming up to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily is associated with reduced chronic disease risk and premature death. We also discuss sports nutrition and body recomposition—how to lose fat while building muscle—using targeted supplementation.

Dr. Lange outlines the Fortifeye Vitality Bundle, which combines:

Fortifeye Fit Pro 
Fortifeye Vegan Protein
Fortifeye Rejuvenate
Creatine, myHMB, and Vitamin D

This stack is designed to support muscle recovery, strength, metabolism, and healthy aging, especially when paired with resistance training.

We also emphasize the importance of carbohydrates after workouts to replenish muscle glycogen and accelerate recovery—an often-overlooked key to performance and longevity.

Finally, we stress the importance of routine comprehensive eye exams, including advanced imaging with OptiMap. The eye truly is a window to the body—and these tools can be vision-saving and potentially life-saving by detecting early signs of systemic disease.

This episode is about early prevention, smart nutrition, strength, and mindset—because the goal is not just to survive longer, but to thrive at every stage of life.

Omega 3s, Resistance Training, reducing Clot risk & Brain Health: The Science of Living Longer

Saturday, December 20, 2025

Today’s Ask the Dr. talk show was co-hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Roger Schulman, and it was an outstanding broadcast from start to finish.

Dr. Lange and Roger reviewed multiple omega-3 studies, highlighting how higher baseline omega-3 blood levels are associated with significant reductions in heart attacks, strokes, atrial fibrillation, and overall cardiovascular risk. They emphasized that omega-3 status before disease develops plays a critical role in long-term outcomes. The newest studies prove that higher omega 3 levels in the blood reduces atrial fibrillation events. High quality, bioavailable rTG omega 3 taken daily is the key. Dr Lange is involved in continuous research in the omega 3 field and developed Fortifeye Super Omega and Fortifeye Super Omega 3 Max. These omega 3 fish oils are concentrated and purified in the top omega 3 research and development centers in Norway.

The show also covered a new and exciting study demonstrating that as little as 60 minutes of resistance training per week can reduce all-cause mortality by up to 27%, reinforcing the importance of strength training for longevity. However, he does sate you will have to do more weight training than 10 minutes a day to really build muscle and strength. He also states you must "pound the protein" to build muscle. Dr Lange and Roger spoke about long airplane trips and the risk of clots and DVTs from flying and being sedimentary while on the flight. They discussed ways to prevent clots and health issues while on the plane that may save your life.

During a live caller discussion, Dr. Lange explained the brain-supporting nutrients found in Fortifeye Focus and Fortifeye Focus & Brain, outlining how specific ingredients help support memory, cognition, and long-term brain health.

Several callers and Roger spoke warmly about Dr. Lange’s mother, Betty Lange, noting how remarkably sharp and “with it” she remains at 98 years young, serving as a real-world example of healthy aging.

Dr. Lange also briefly previewed a new kids’ gummy prototype currently in development, formulated with clinically studied amounts of lutein, astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin—designed to support eye and brain health in children without sacrificing quality or science.

Additionally, Dr. Lange explained the importance of using a high-quality rTG-form omega-3, how inferior products differ, and how consumers can determine whether their omega-3 supplement is truly effective. He always preaches to buy tg omega 3 or rTG omega 3 fish oil and stay away from the ethyl ester (ee) form on omega 3 fish oil.

The show ran smoothly with no technical issues, strong listener engagement, and excellent dialogue throughout—another successful and informative episode of Ask the Dr.

Dry Eye & Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: Natural, Nutritional, Medical & Advanced Technology Treatment

Saturday, November 1, 2025

Dr Michael Lange and Dr Summerton uncover the hidden causes of Dry Eye and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction — from Demodex mites to clogged glands — and share the latest natural, nutritional, medical, and advanced laser treatments including Xdemvy, OptiLight IPL, OptiLift, and Fortifeye Advanced Dry Eye Therapy.

In this episode of Ask the Dr, Dr Michael Lange and Dr Summerton discuss the root causes and the most effective treatments for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, one of the leading causes of dry eye disease. They explain how clogged meibomian glands reduce the oily layer of the tear film, leading to dryness, irritation, and fluctuating vision.

A key focus is the Demodex mite, a microscopic parasite that lives in the eyelash follicles and meibomian glands. These mites crawl into the glands, lay eggs, and regurgitate inside, triggering inflammation and gland obstruction that worsen MGD symptoms.

The doctors highlight three major treatment approaches — natural, medical, and advanced technological solutions:

NATURAL AND NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT

Eyelid hygiene using Optase Tea Tree Oil Lid Wipes to reduce Demodex mites

Fortifeye Advanced Dry Eye Therapy, a clinical-grade nutritional protocol designed to reduce inflammation in the eyes and meibomian glands by acting on all 3 prostaglandins

This formula combines lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, black currant oil (GLA), and rTG-form omega 3 fish oil — a synergistic blend shown to significantly improve MGD and overall tear film quality

Warm compresses and gland expression to restore healthy oil flow

MEDICAL TREATMENT

Discussion of the new prescription medication Xdemvy, used twice daily for six weeks, proven to eradicate Demodex mite infestations and help clear blocked glands

ADVANCED HIGH-TECH SOLUTIONS

Lumenis OptiLight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), a groundbreaking therapy that improves gland function, reduces inflammation, and helps control Demodex mites

Lumenis OptiLift, an advanced radiofrequency-based treatment for lower-lid laxity and MGD, also providing aesthetic skin-tightening benefits Together, these cutting-edge approaches show that Meibomian Gland Dysfunction can be successfully managed naturally, nutritionally, medically, and technologically — improving both eye health and appearance.

In this episode of Ask the Dr, Dr Michael Lange and Dr Summerton discuss a full range of evidence-based strategies for maintaining youthful skin, strong eyes, and overall wellness.

They focus on OneSkin, a science-based topical skin cream formulated for the eyes, face, and total body. Dr Lange explains how combining OneSkin with Fortifeye Rejuvenate, an evidence-based nutritional supplement powder for the skin, hair, nails, and joints, delivers powerful synergistic results. He calls this combination a true “double whammy” against the visible signs of skin aging.

The doctors also discuss the Fortifeye Strength and Vitality Bundle, designed to enhance energy, recovery, and muscle performance. This bundle is beneficial for both men and women and can even be used by certain vegetarians.

Next, Dr Lange highlights two trademarked lens technologies — Blue Light Defense and Blue Light Shield — that help protect the eyes from the most harmful high-energy blue light wavelengths, specifically in the 400 to 420 nanometer range of the visible spectrum. These lenses are ideal for anyone who spends extended time on digital devices or under LED lighting.

The discussion continues with a detailed look at creatine and muscle health, featuring Fortifeye’s Creapure Creatine, myHMB, and Vitamin D formula. Dr Lange and Dr Summerton explain how these clinically studied nutrients help improve strength, muscle mass, and endurance — especially in active adults and those focused on longevity and fitness.

During the call-in portion of the show, listeners direct the conversation into broader eye health topics, including a detailed segment on natural and medical therapies for glaucoma. Both doctors stress the importance of routine comprehensive eye exams, since glaucoma is often called the “painless sneak thief of sight.” Early detection is key for preserving vision.

Dr Lange replied to a caller in regards to dementia and told a story about how his mothers dementia reversed a few months after she started taking Fortifeye Focus and Brain supplement. Fortifeye Focus and Brain has 4 ingredients for brain.

Unlock muscle growth by blocking Myostatin and GLA the overlooked Nutrient for good health.

Saturday, September 27, 2025

In this episode of "Ask the Dr", Dr Michael Lange and Dr Susan Summerton explain the science behind myostatin, a protein that can slow down muscle growth and contribute to age-related muscle loss called sarcopenia. They explain the specific ingredients in Fortifeye Fit Pro-including grass fed whey protein, collagen peptides, betaine anhydrous, vitamin D, Creapure creatine and other clinically studied nutrients- may help naturally lower myostatin levels. By supporting healthier muscle metabolism, Fortifeye Fit Pro is designed to aid in building lean muscle, improve strengths and combating sarcopenia as part of a complete fitness and nutrition strategy.

GLA the overlooked nutrient for good health. Both doctors dive into the importance of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid)- often called the "missing nutrient" in today's diet. Thye explain how GLA especially from black currant oil supports overall health for the eyes, skin, hair, nails and joints. When combined with a high quality rTG form omega 3 fish oil, GLA provides a powerful "double whammy" for fighting dry eye disease. The doctors also discuss how GLA helps stimulate the PGE 1 anti-inflammatory cascade, making it a key nutrient for reducing inflammation and promoting whole body wellness. They promote Fortifeye Black Currant Oil / GLA.
