In today’s episode of Ask the Dr., Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton kick off the New Year with science-backed resolutions designed to help you live longer, think clearer, and thrive—not just survive.

We dive deep into the power of resistance training for cognitive health and longevity, citing multiple studies showing reduced mortality, improved brain function, and healthier aging. Strength training isn’t just about muscles—it’s about protecting your brain and extending lifespan.

We also discuss the critical role of omega-3 fatty acids, highlighting compelling research showing reductions in atrial fibrillation, cardiovascular death, heart attacks, and strokes. Dr. Lange explains why the form of omega-3 matters, recommending rTG or TG forms—and why re-esterified triglyceride omega-3s are among the doctors’ top New Year’s choices. We also cover RTG omega-3s for dry eye disease and ocular surface health.

The doctors break down the benefits of advanced dry eye treatments, including Lumenis OptiLight IPL and OptiLift, explaining how these technologies can improve blink dynamics, reduce inflammation, and dramatically relieve dry eye symptoms.

Nutrition takes center stage as we explore why consuming up to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily is associated with reduced chronic disease risk and premature death. We also discuss sports nutrition and body recomposition—how to lose fat while building muscle—using targeted supplementation.

Dr. Lange outlines the Fortifeye Vitality Bundle, which combines:

Fortifeye Fit Pro
Fortifeye Vegan Protein
Fortifeye Rejuvenate
Creatine, myHMB, and Vitamin D

This stack is designed to support muscle recovery, strength, metabolism, and healthy aging, especially when paired with resistance training.

We also emphasize the importance of carbohydrates after workouts to replenish muscle glycogen and accelerate recovery—an often-overlooked key to performance and longevity.

Finally, we stress the importance of routine comprehensive eye exams, including advanced imaging with OptiMap. The eye truly is a window to the body—and these tools can be vision-saving and potentially life-saving by detecting early signs of systemic disease.

This episode is about early prevention, smart nutrition, strength, and mindset—because the goal is not just to survive longer, but to thrive at every stage of life.

Today’s Ask the Dr. talk show was co-hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Roger Schulman, and it was an outstanding broadcast from start to finish.

Dr. Lange and Roger reviewed multiple omega-3 studies, highlighting how higher baseline omega-3 blood levels are associated with significant reductions in heart attacks, strokes, atrial fibrillation, and overall cardiovascular risk. They emphasized that omega-3 status before disease develops plays a critical role in long-term outcomes. The newest studies prove that higher omega 3 levels in the blood reduces atrial fibrillation events. High quality, bioavailable rTG omega 3 taken daily is the key. Dr Lange is involved in continuous research in the omega 3 field and developed Fortifeye Super Omega and Fortifeye Super Omega 3 Max. These omega 3 fish oils are concentrated and purified in the top omega 3 research and development centers in Norway.

The show also covered a new and exciting study demonstrating that as little as 60 minutes of resistance training per week can reduce all-cause mortality by up to 27%, reinforcing the importance of strength training for longevity. However, he does sate you will have to do more weight training than 10 minutes a day to really build muscle and strength. He also states you must "pound the protein" to build muscle. Dr Lange and Roger spoke about long airplane trips and the risk of clots and DVTs from flying and being sedimentary while on the flight. They discussed ways to prevent clots and health issues while on the plane that may save your life.

During a live caller discussion, Dr. Lange explained the brain-supporting nutrients found in Fortifeye Focus and Fortifeye Focus & Brain, outlining how specific ingredients help support memory, cognition, and long-term brain health.

Several callers and Roger spoke warmly about Dr. Lange’s mother, Betty Lange, noting how remarkably sharp and “with it” she remains at 98 years young, serving as a real-world example of healthy aging.

Dr. Lange also briefly previewed a new kids’ gummy prototype currently in development, formulated with clinically studied amounts of lutein, astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin—designed to support eye and brain health in children without sacrificing quality or science.

Additionally, Dr. Lange explained the importance of using a high-quality rTG-form omega-3, how inferior products differ, and how consumers can determine whether their omega-3 supplement is truly effective. He always preaches to buy tg omega 3 or rTG omega 3 fish oil and stay away from the ethyl ester (ee) form on omega 3 fish oil.

The show ran smoothly with no technical issues, strong listener engagement, and excellent dialogue throughout—another successful and informative episode of Ask the Dr.

Dr. Lange warns that curcumin formulas containing black pepper extract should be avoided due to possible liver concerns.

Dr. Lange and Dr. Summerton discuss the importance of consuming enough protein for strength, muscle tone, recovery, metabolism and even mood. They explain how to pick a good whey protein and why they recommend grass fed non denatured whey. They also discuss Creapure creatine and myHMB and their benefits for strength, muscle, recovery and brain health. They emphasize supplement transparency and staying away from blends.

Dr. Lange also does a segment on foods that support men’s health, testosterone and prostate wellness. They further discuss the importance of increasing intake of lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin through foods or a good supplement like Fortifeye Focus.
