Sleep Apnea: 100+ Expert Talks
About Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea brings people to DrTalks when they're waking up tired no matter how long they stay in bed. Loud snoring, foggy mornings, dragging through the afternoon, memory slips, and a CPAP machine that's hard to live with are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past snoring. Your airway is tied to your brain health and dementia risk, blood sugar, blood pressure, hormones and even your teeth and jaw. You'll find conversations on alternatives to CPAP, airway dentistry and jaw development in kids, how sleep affects diabetes, and the link between poor sleep and Alzheimer's. Dentists, sleep doctors and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from overnight sleep studies to at-home sleep tests and wearables, and what helps, from CPAP and oral appliances to better sleep habits, light exposure, strength training and caring for your mouth and gums.
