Summary
Holistic Vision Coach Claudia Muehlenweg joins Dr. Will Cole to discuss why eyesight declines and what may help support healthier vision habits. Claudia shares her story of getting glasses at age three, becoming glasses-free as a teen, and later retraining her vision again during a high-stress season. They unpack the role of chronic stress, nervous system tension, and “tunnel vision,” plus how screens impact blinking, dry eyes, and near-point strain. Claudia also shares practical tools like palming, visual breaks, and building better “visual hygiene,” along with insights on light sensitivity, night vision, and nutrition.

| 0:06.0 | Hi, I'm Dr. Will Cole. |
| 0:09.1 | Wellness is a sacred art, and you are the masterpiece. |
| 0:13.7 | This is the art of being well. |
| 0:15.9 | Thank you. What's up and welcome to the art of beatwill. |
| 0:30.9 | As basic labs can miss so much when it comes to figuring out why you feel the way that you do, how you can optimize, |
| 0:37.4 | and there's so much |
| 0:38.5 | medical gaslighting. Sometimes unintentional, sometimes intentional. When people know intuitively, |
| 0:45.2 | something's off here, my brain fog, my fatigue, my digestive problems, my skin issues, my hormonal |
| 0:51.0 | problems, my fertility issues, and they run the basic labs. And when the labs come back, |
| 0:58.0 | quote unquote, normal, they're told, hey, everything's fine. See you in six months. Take this |

| 1:26.0 | People that predominantly go to labs aren't in thriving |
| 1:28.5 | health. They're going through some health issues. They're not feeling their best. So in functional |
| 1:32.6 | medicine, we're looking optimal, not average, and we're trained to not just diagnose a disease |
| 1:37.4 | and match it with a corresponding pharmaceutical drug. Why do we have the problem in the first place? |
| 1:42.6 | It's not a pharmaceutical deficiency. |
| 1:45.1 | It's not a sort of medicinal matching game. You get this diagnosis code, you get that |
