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.

Autoimmune Disease & Your Brain Health – On this edition of Your Health Matters, Dr. Perry Maynard discusses the connection between autoimmune disease and brain health and why problems with the immune system can sometimes affect much more than we realize. Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues. Dr. Maynard explains how this abnormal immune response and the resulting inflammation can potentially affect the brain and nervous system, contributing to symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, memory difficulties, trouble concentrating, headaches, and changes in mood or energy. The discussion also looks at the relationship between inflammation, gut health, the immune system, and the brain. Dr. Maynard explains why identifying what may be driving inflammation is an important part of evaluating patients experiencing neurological or cognitive symptoms. Listeners will also learn about the importance of proper evaluation, testing, nutrition, sleep, exercise, and managing stress.
