Host Christine Ricci first sits down with  Dr. Millicent Knight, an Optometry Specialist to discuss Myopia.  Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is an eye disease in which people can see close objects clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. It is the most common vision issue among children and young adults, with 1 in 3 children now affected, and rates continue to increase with more kids utilizing screen time activities, but there are things you can do now to keep your kids eyes in check. Then Dr. Steven Knauf, the Executive Director of Chiropractic and Compliance at The Joint Chiropractic discusses spine and back concerns plaguing our youth, spawned by things like poor backpack habits, time spent on phones, tablets and computers, and even some sports.  Finally, as August is Immunization Awareness Month, Dr. Karen Smith, Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians addresses concerns with a new analysis that found vaccination rates plummeted during the pandemic and how it could have a dramatic effect on our nation's health in general.  This as health officials try to reign in the misinformation on the covid-19 vaccines available in the US.
