Month of Phobias: Trypophobia (0:00:00)
Welcome to our phobia segment. Every week in October, we are featuring the weird, creepy, and outlandish phobias from our team here at the Lisa Show. This week we are featuring some truly strange phobias. Our producer Liana and student producer Ruby share what makes their skin crawl. Liana’s fear of trypophobia is quite strange and unusual. Let’s figure out more about this aversion. To help us understand this fear of holes is Dr. Arnold Wilkins from the University of Essex.
ABSee (0:13:18)
We all know someone who wears contacts or glasses, but did you know that there are probably more of our friends that should wear glasses but don’t? According to one organization, one in four people in the US have undetected vision problems. That means they can’t see the leaves on trees or, more importantly for our kids, the words their teachers write on the board. That’s why Pearle Vision, a company that owns 500 eye care centers, teamed up with the non-profit OneSight to create ABSee. Doug Zarkin, CEO of Pearle Vision, joins us today to talk about ABSee and their goal to visit schools across North America to provide eye care and glasses at no cost to those children in need.

Positive Relationship with Food (1:06:32)
Diet trends, fast food commercials, fashion magazines, pinterest ideas. . . all day you’ve been bombarded with “eat this, not that,” get thin quick schemes, and more. In a society overridden with varying opinions on what you should eat, it can be hard to have a healthy relationship with food. Maybe you’ve limited yourself so much from the food you love that you’re miserable, or maybe you punish yourself by eating too much. Laura Silver is a registered dietitian-nutritionist from New York who has a passion for helping people enjoy real, whole foods –without totally compromising on the foods they love. With her unique perspective and professional background, we thought she’d be the perfect person to talk to about how we can have a healthy relationship with food.
