We welcomed Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, OD, FCOVD, on 2o23’s inaugural Healthy Step Show on 88.5 WMNF Tampa and discussed the implications of capitalism on global health.

He also discussed the effectiveness of amber lenses, blue blockers, in improving sleep quality, and Bob, a caller to the show, discussed how capitalism is affecting the Tampa Bay area in the form of tearing down trees to build condos.

Because this is not just about money. This is about people’s access to food, to health care, to shelter, to water.” – Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, OD, FCOVD
