On this week’s show, Scott Whatley sits down with Dr. Celine Satija of Colorado Eye Consultants to discuss the latest advancements in eye care, with a special focus on corneal health. Dr. Satija, a board-certified ophthalmologist and corneal specialist, shares how modern procedures like corneal transplantation and crosslinking are restoring vision and improving quality of life for patients dealing with conditions such as keratoconus.

On this edition of Your Health Matters, Scott Whatley visited with Functional Nutritionist Elizabeth Mahnke of Integrated Health Systems about what really happens after we eat and why healthy digestion is essential to overall wellness. Elizabeth explained that digestion is a gradual process, not something that happens in just a few hours. Food typically remains in the stomach for two to four hours before moving into the small intestine, where most nutrients are absorbed. The entire digestive process can take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, depending on the individual and the type of meal consumed. Meals higher in protein and healthy fats generally digest more slowly, helping promote fullness and support more stable blood sugar levels. Elizabeth also discussed factors that influence digestion, including hydration, fiber intake, physical activity, and certain medications. She encouraged listeners to pay attention to persistent symptoms such as bloating, nausea, prolonged fullness, or abdominal pain, as these may signal an underlying digestive issue that deserves professional evaluation.
