Ask The Doctor - Dr Michael Lange

ASK THE DR - 082926

Today’s episode of Ask the Doctor, hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton, was packed with practical information about nutrition, healthy aging, weight management, brain health, muscle strength, bone density and healthy vision.

Dr. Lange opened the show by thanking the Florida Chiropractic Association for welcoming Fortifeye Vitamins as a sponsor of its convention. Fortifeye also recently sponsored Tampa Fit Fest at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Fortifeye Fit Bites™, Fit Pro® and Fit Meal™ were especially popular at both events, along with Super Omega-3 Max®, Organic Blue Green Superfood and Next Gen Curcumin®. 

The doctors emphasized the importance of beginning the day with a high-protein breakfast containing approximately 25–30 grams of protein. A protein-rich breakfast may improve satiety, reduce unnecessary snacking and support healthier weight management. 

Dr. Lange shared one of his favorite breakfasts: Fortifeye Super Protein Vanilla blended with pineapple, banana and coconut milk. On other mornings, he may choose an egg omelet or Fortifeye Fit Meal. His message was simple: prioritize protein, but rotate your food choices to obtain a broader range of nutrients. 

The doctors also discussed the growing research behind creatine for adults of all ages, including its potential benefits for muscle strength, cognitive function and bone health. They highlighted research involving postmenopausal women and the potential role of creatine supplementation when combined with resistance exercise. 

Dr. Lange also introduced listeners to CreActin™, a new #510-mesh, ultra-micronized creatine monohydrate. Its exceptionally fine particle size is designed to improve mixing and suspension while reducing the sediment and gritty texture commonly experienced with some creatine powders. The manufacturer also reports encouraging preliminary pharmacokinetic findings regarding bioavailability. However, Fortifeye Vitamins is carefully investigating the complete research, purity testing, sourcing and manufacturing documentation before deciding whether to incorporate CreActin into a future product. Fortifeye remains committed to using only ingredients that meet its rigorous standards for science, purity, transparency and performance. The show concluded with an informative segment on nutrition for healthy vision, including specific foods and targeted supplements such as Fortifeye Focus®, Next Gen Curcumin® and Next Gen Macular Defense®.

Thank you to all the callers who contributed thoughtful questions and made this another outstanding episode of Ask the Doctor!

Protein, Creatine and Eye Health: Expert Tips from Ask the Doctor

Whey Protein Benefits: Muscle Growth, mTOR, IGF-1 & Myostatin | Kidney Stones & Macular Degeneration

What are the real benefits of whey protein for muscle growth, healthy aging and muscle protein synthesis? On this episode of Ask the Doctor, Dr. Michael Lange and Roger P. Schulman discuss whey protein, mTOR, IGF-1, myostatin, collagen peptides, cholesterol, kidney stones, oxalates, macular degeneration and nutritional strategies for maintaining muscle and eye health.

🥛 WHEY PROTEIN & MUSCLE GROWTH

Dr. Michael Lange discusses the newly released Fortifeye Super Protein, made with grass-fed, non-denatured whey protein concentrate and an all-new delicious vanilla flavor.

Whey is considered one of the highest-quality proteins for stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS) because it is rapidly digested and naturally rich in essential amino acids, particularly leucine.

The doctors explain how whey protein and its amino acids can influence important pathways involved in muscle metabolism, including:

• Muscle protein synthesis 
• mTOR signaling 
• IGF-1 signaling 
• Myostatin-related pathways 
• Muscle recovery 
• Maintenance of lean muscle mass 
• Healthy aging and sarcopenia prevention

The discussion also explains why adequate high-quality protein becomes increasingly important as we age, during periods of calorie restriction and for people trying to maintain muscle while losing weight.

🔬 WHEY + COLLAGEN PEPTIDES

Roger P. Schulman discusses newer research involving whey protein and cholesterol/metabolic markers in overweight adults under age 50, along with research examining the potential advantages of combining whey protein with collagen peptides.

Dr. Lange also discusses combining Fortifeye Fit Protein with Fortifeye Super Protein as part of a comprehensive protein and fitness nutrition strategy.

🪨 OXALATES & KIDNEY STONES

Can healthy foods contribute to kidney stones in susceptible people?

The doctors discuss oxalates and calcium-oxalate kidney stones, including several foods that can be extremely high in oxalates.

People with a history of calcium-oxalate kidney stones may be advised to limit foods such as:

• Spinach 
• Almonds 
• Beets

They also discuss why hydration and an individualized nutritional strategy are important for kidney-stone prevention. 

👁️ MACULAR DEGENERATION, DIET & VITAMINS 

Dr. Lange discusses age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and how diet and targeted nutrition can support macular and retinal health.

Learn about foods and nutrients associated with healthy vision and why Dr. Lange recommends Fortifeye Next Gen Macular Defense as part of his nutritional approach for appropriate patients with or at risk for macular degeneration. 

🌱 ORGANIC BLUE GREEN SUPERFOOD 

The show also features Fortifeye Organic Blue Green Superfood and discusses a special three-jar bundle discount. 

☎️ BELL’S PALSY CALL 

Dr. Lange takes a call from a potential patient regarding Bell’s palsy and discusses evaluation, treatment considerations and the importance of appropriate medical and eye care. 

This episode of Ask the Doctor covers some of today’s most interesting topics in whey protein, muscle growth, longevity, nutrition and eye health. 

If you’re interested in maintaining muscle as you age, improving your protein intake, understanding kidney-stone nutrition or protecting your vision, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

 Whey Protein Benefits: Muscle Growth, mTOR, IGF-1 & Myostatin | Kidney Stones & Macular Degeneration

🧬 Can You REALLY Slow Biological Aging? | New Longevity Science Explained

Can we actually slow down biological aging? That was the focus of this week’s Ask the Dr. with Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton.

While we can’t stop chronological aging, exciting new research suggests our daily habits may influence how quickly we age biologically. This episode explores the latest science on longevity, healthy aging, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle strategies that may help you live longer—and healthier.

In This Episode We Discuss:

🧬 Telomeres & Biological Aging 
What telomeres are, why they matter, and how exercise, quality sleep, stress management, proper nutrition, and maintaining muscle mass may help support healthier aging.

🍊 Vitamin C, Cortisol & Recovery 
How vitamin C helps reduce oxidative stress after exercise, supports recovery, and may help maintain healthy cortisol levels. Chronically elevated cortisol has been linked to accelerated aging, muscle loss, abdominal fat, and cognitive decline.

💊 Can a Multivitamin Slow Biological Aging? 
We reviewed exciting new research suggesting that taking a quality daily multivitamin may help slow biological aging. We also discussed Fortifeye Complete, our premium multivitamin and eye health formula that has been refined 17 times over the past 20 years.

🫐 A Nutrition Hack Most People Don’t Know 
Research suggests that fruits high in polyphenol oxidase (PPO)—such as bananas, apples, pears, and avocados—may reduce the availability of beneficial flavonoids found in berries like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. We explain how to maximize the benefits of these antioxidant-rich foods.

🪥 Should You Brush Before Breakfast? 
We discussed research showing that beneficial oral bacteria help convert dietary nitrates into nitric oxide, which supports healthy blood vessels and blood pressure. Using antiseptic mouthwash immediately before eating may interfere with this process.

🚶 Walking for Longevity 
Around 8,000 steps per day has been associated with lower mortality, better cardiovascular health, improved cognition, and a lower risk of dementia.

🏋️ Strength Training 
As little as 60 minutes of resistance training per week has been associated with improved brain health, better muscle preservation, stronger bones, and reduced mortality.

🚴 Cycling & Pedal-Assist E-Bikes 
Cycling remains one of the best low-impact exercises. We also discussed new research showing that pedal-assist e-bikes may improve both physical fitness and psychological well-being because riders still pedal while enjoying longer, more consistent rides.

🍫 AJ Tries Fortifeye FitBites Live 
Our engineer AJ tried two Chocolate Raspberry Fortifeye FitBites before the show. Halfway through the broadcast he joined us live, saying they were delicious, his energy improved, and his hunger completely disappeared.

🎄 Christmas in July Extended 
Our Christmas in July Bundle Specials have been extended through tomorrow.

💪 Fortifeye at FitFest Tampa 
Fortifeye Vitamins is proud to sponsor FitFest Tampa at the Florida State Fairgrounds in just a couple of weeks.

🥤 New Protein Products Coming Soon 
We introduced two exciting upcoming products:

• Fortifeye Super Protein Vanilla – Premium grass-fed New Zealand whey protein concentrate with an outstanding new vanilla flavor.

• Fortifeye Vegan Protein – A gluten-free blend of North American pea, canola, and fava bean proteins, providing a complete amino acid profile with a PDCAAS score approaching 1.0.

The Bottom Line

Healthy aging isn’t about finding one miracle supplement. It’s about making smart choices every day:

✔ Eat a nutrient-dense diet 
✔ Stay physically active 
✔ Build and maintain muscle 
✔ Walk daily 
✔ Manage stress 
✔ Prioritize quality sleep 
✔ Recover properly 
✔ Consider evidence-based nutritional supplements

Small daily habits can have a profound impact on your long-term health and quality of life.
