Today’s Guests:
Dr. Shane Nau of Colorado Eye Consultants joined us to discuss the critical role vision plays in overall quality of life and how modern ophthalmology is helping patients see and live better. As a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in comprehensive eye care and cataract surgery, Dr. Nau emphasized the importance of early detection, routine eye exams, and patient education. A Colorado native, Dr. Nau trained at the University of Colorado, completing both his medical degree and ophthalmology residency, and has earned numerous academic honors along the way. He brings not only clinical expertise but also a strong commitment to serving the community, including volunteer work with underserved populations in the Denver area. During the conversation, Dr. Nau explained how cataract surgery has advanced significantly, now offering patients improved vision with safer, more efficient procedures and quicker recovery times. He also talks about blepharoplasty, a procedure that can enhance both vision and appearance by addressing excess eyelid skin. What truly sets Dr. Nau apart is his patient-first approach—delivering high-quality care in a friendly, approachable manner. His goal is simple: help every patient maintain healthy vision so they can fully engage with the world around them.

In our final half hour it’s Your Health Matters, brought to you by Integrated Health Systems. Today Functional Nutritionist Elizabeth Mahnke joins us to talk about a very important blood marker on your blood test, your A1C level. Elizabeth explains that the A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months. Results are reported as a percentage. Elizabeth goes thru all the different ranges and what they mean on your blood test report. As you may assume, the higher the percentage, the higher your blood sugar has been. You will hear what stage is pre-diabetic as well as the full diabetic stage. It’s always a free initial consult call 303-781-5617 or visit their website at www.IntegratedHealthDenver.com.
