Today we're talking to ASAA's Chief Patient officer, Adam Amdur.Adam is an “innovative patient advocate”. He was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in 2008, more than thirty years after he first showed symptoms. As he struggled to learn how to manage his treatment, he was able to successfully identify and get treatment for his then two-year-old daughter and wife as well as many others. He joined the ASAA in 2012, leading the association’s evolution from a twenty-five-year-old physician-run organization into an entrepreneurial, patient-driven, public-health advocacy association.This interview was recorded at the AWAKETogether Summit in San Francisco, September 19, 2019.If you have questions or comments about this (or any episode) we'd like to hear from you.

Do you remember the last time you woke up during the work week without an alarm clock? When you didn’t need caffeine to get going? If you can’t, you’re certainly not alone. Most of us fall short of the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep nightly and an estimated 50 million to 70 million Americans of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds suffer from sleep-related problems, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association. Our guest, Robin Haight, PsyD, a clinical psychologist in private practice, will give practical tips for getting a good night’s sleep and explain how common mental health disorders can interfere with our much-needed shut-eye.

Adam Amdur has been the Chief Patient Officer  since 2014 and in a wide ranging conversation we talk about the work of the ASAA, dispel some of the myths and misperceptions about sleep apnea, and discover how patients can find help and support from the ASAA.

Sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, have become a significant health issue in the United States. It is estimated that 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, with 80 percent of the cases of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea undiagnosed. Obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA when left untreated can lead a multitude of health disorders. Joining me today to talk about sleep apnea is Adam Amdur. Mr Amdur is the Chief Patient Officer of the American Sleep Apnea Association.

Joy Moeller, BS, RDH is a dental hygienist who has worked as a myofunctional therapist for over 35 years.  Myofunctional therapy (OMT) is neuro-muscular re-education of the head and neck muscles. We teach people how to chew, breathe and swallow correctly and eliminate oral habits. Myofunctional therapy has now been proven to be effective in reducing AHI numbers by 50% in adults and 62% in children as well as lower oxygen saturation, snoring and sleepiness outcomes improve in adults. Joy is a founding lecturer with the AOMT and teaches courses in OMT. Joy is on the board of the American Sleep Apnea Association, and the Academy of Applied Myofunctional Sciences. Joy wrote a children’s book called “Tucker the Tongue Finds His Spot” and is currently on the board of the AAPMD, a multi-disciplinary medical and dental group interested in airway problems where she received a life-time achievement award March of 2015 for leadership. She also wrote a chapter in Sleep Medicine Clinics, published June 2014 that is on Pediatric Sleep and Myofunctional Therapy. Joy has lectured world wide and last year did two Grand Rounds at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She feels strongly that OMT will “Bridge the Gap” between medicine and dentistry, especially in relationship to TMD and OSA.   www.JoyMoeller.com
