Why Cataracts Will Mess Up Your Sleep Hormones

The eyes are the window to your soul." While this is a metaphorical statement, what's scientifically proven is that the eyes are our direct window to the brain. Not only are they perhaps our most important sense, but they also have a significant impact on our hormones. In the latest episode of PURAVIDA, I have the pleasure of discussing how to optimally prepare for cataract surgery with one of Europe's top ophthalmic surgeons, Dr. Oliver Schütte. Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgery worldwide, and you might be surprised to learn how proper preparation and asking the right questions can dramatically increase your success rate—from the typical 80% to an impressive 99%! Beyond its obvious importance for clear vision, it's crucial to understand that cataracts can disrupt the production of melatonin—a vital hormone that regulates our sleep-wake cycle. When melatonin levels are imbalanced, it can lead to disturbed sleep patterns, which in turn can affect your overall hormonal balance. This doesn't just leave you feeling tired; it can also influence the production of other hormones, impacting everything from your mood to your metabolism. This underscores again the importance of understanding the body holistically and how seemingly unrelated and localised issues are leading to problems affecting your overall wellness! Please enjoy my conversation with Dr Schuette and as always: LIFE IS GOOD!

It doesn't need to be a severe issue, but unexplained weight gain, loss of energy, decreased sex drive, slight hair or skin problems can go undiagnosed and drag your wellbeing down over the long term. Proper diagnostics, which are unfortunately seldom done, are not the patients' fault but the providers'. This is why I am determined to educate about the function and details of the thyroid so that you, as a patient, can ask for and demand the right tests and, consequently, the right therapy at your next check-up!
