(your holistic guide to lifelong eye health)

Your eyes tell the story of your health.
They reflect inflammation, fatigue, hydration, nourishment, stress, hormones, circulation — even the way you breathe.

As both an optometrist and functional wellness practitioner, I created this guide to bridge the gap between clinical eye care and whole-body healing. Because your vision isn’t just about what you see — it’s about how you live.

This is a gentle, practical, whole-food-first roadmap to supporting your eyes from the inside out. You’ll learn the nutrients that protect your retina, the habits that keep your tear film strong, the foods that brighten your vision, and the lifestyle shifts that help you age without strain or fatigue.

Inside, you’ll find:
• The core nutrients your eyes crave daily
• Simple meals that feed the retina + reduce inflammation
• My signature Eye Health Plate (your daily blueprint)
• Hydration and electrolyte strategies for dry eyes
• Screen-time protection you can actually stick to
• Supplements that truly move the needle — and which to skip
• Hormones, aging, and how they impact your eyes
• Eye exercises + gentle resets for clarity and relaxation
• Foods + habits that help prevent long-term degenerative changes
• My minimalistic, optometrist-approved vision routine

This guide isn’t about overwhelm — it’s about empowerment.

Small, daily habits that stack up into long-term clarity, comfort, and confidence.

Your eyes are precious.
Your vision is powerful.
And you deserve to see the world with vibrant, effortless ease.

— Dr. Kathryn Waters OD, CPNP

(coming this spring)

Spring has a way of waking the senses — the air softens, the light brightens, and suddenly the body starts craving foods that feel alive. This upcoming Red Boot Kitchen Spring Cookbook is a celebration of that shift: crisp herbs, vibrant greens, citrus blossoms, tender vegetables, and meals that feel both energizing and deeply nourishing.

Here, spring cooking is not about restriction — it’s about renewal. About leaning into the ingredients that make your body hum with vitality. About meals that feel light yet grounding, simple yet luxurious. Expect dishes that glow with color: bright bowls, fresh salads, herb-forward mains, and breakfasts that ease you into longer days with calm intention.

Think:
sunny vinaigrettes, delicate broths, bright pestos, soft-boiled eggs, crisp asparagus, lemon-kissed grains, berry compotes, green goddess dressings, and herbs piled so high they practically spill off the page.

This book is your invitation to clear out winter, nourish your energy, lighten your plate, and welcome a season of clarity and renewal.

Spring is coming — and she’s delicious.
