Targeted Nutrition for Reduction of Oxidation and Inflammation: Implications for Vision, Cognition, and Systemic Health & Performance
Wednesday, January 26th, 2022 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm Pacific
Sponsored by: MacuHealth
Course Description:
In this course, attendees will learn about the beneficial visual, cognitive, neurophysiological, and systemic health and performance effects of macular carotenoid, DHA, and EPA supplementation.
About Your Speaker: James M. Stringham, Ph.D.
Chief Scientific Officer at MacuHealth
Dr. Stringham joined the MacuHealth team after a distinguished career in research and academia. He earned his doctorate in experimental psychology and neuroscience from the University of New Hampshire in 2003, and did postdoctoral training at both Harvard Medical School and the Medical College of Georgia. He has since held positions at the University of Georgia, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and most recently the Duke Eye Center. Nearly all of his research has been geared toward understanding visual and cognitive benefits of the macular carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin. As the Chief Scientific Officer of MacuHealth, Dr. Stringham will expand the scope of research and application of the macular carotenoids to include investigation of effects that may benefit visual and cognitive performance in athletes, visual and systemic health in those with metabolic disease, and neural health and development in children.
