Modern Healthspan: Stop Macular Degeneration Early? | Dr Allen Taylor
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Adopt a low glycemic index diet to potentially delay the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Switch the equivalent of five slices of white bread to whole grain bread daily.
- Get regular retinal exams after age 60, focusing on biomarkers like drusen and using OCT (optical coherence tomography) to detect AMD early.
- Monitor glucose spikes as they damage not just the retina but also the heart and brain.
Products & Gear Mentioned
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT): a rapid retinal scan used to detect early signs of AMD.
Notable Quotes
“If you can arrest [AMD], that’s pretty good, because you can function with less than 50% of your photoreceptors intact.”
Bottom Line
Shift to a low glycemic diet and schedule regular retinal exams after 60 to catch and slow AMD progression early.
