585. When It's Not Your Thyroid: The Vision Problem Making You Tired, Foggy and Miserable
The Thyroid FixerAbout this episode
What if the symptoms you’ve been blaming on hormones, aging, or stress are actually coming from your vision? In this episode, I sit down with functional vision expert Dr. Bryce Appelbaum to discuss vision and the eye brain connection. We break down why eyesight and vision are not the same thing and how issues with visual processing can look like fatigue, brain fog, migraines, motion sensitivity, ADHD behaviors, reading problems, and even thyroid related symptoms. You’ll hear why most eye exams miss the real root cause and how functional vision problems often go undiagnosed for years. We also talk about why prescriptions keep getting stronger, how screen time is affecting your brain, the truth about readers, and the surprising ways vision influences aging, cognitive performance, mood, and daily energy. If you’ve felt like something is off but no one has found an answer, this conversation might be the missing piece.
