Podcasts about Sleep apnea

What if the food you eat could change the way you breathe at night? In this episode, recorded live at The Metabolic Health Summit, Dr. Jonathan Jun reveals how metabolism and sleep-disordered breathing are deeply connected, and why shifting from carbs to fat might improve more than just your waistline.Dr. Jonathan Jun, a leading researcher on obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), walks us through the groundbreaking KETOHS trial, where a ketogenic diet was tested for its effects on carbon dioxide retention, sleep apnea severity, and metabolic health. The findings suggest ketosis may do more than promote weight loss - it could directly enhance respiratory efficiency and sleep quality in patients with OHS and OSA.From a long-forgotten 1976 fasting study to modern clinical data, this lecture reframes the connection between diet, breathing, and metabolism, revealing how nutritional ketosis might transform respiratory and metabolic medicine.Questions Answered in This Episode:Why does fuel choice (carbs vs. fat) matter for breathing in people with sleep-disordered breathing?What exactly happens in obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), and why is it more dangerous than OSA alone?Why did a 1976 starvation ketosis study inspire modern trials on ketogenic diets for OSA/OHS?How was the KETOHS trial designed to isolate the effects of ketosis itself (not just weight loss)?Can a ketogenic diet improve sleep apnea severity even without CPAP therapy?Is the improvement in CO₂ clearance explained only by weight loss, or something else?What metabolic changes accompany ketogenic therapy in this context?This episode will change the way you see the link between diet and breathing, and may open new doors for treating some of the toughest sleep and metabolic disorders.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here. ✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor here.✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Obstructive sleep apnea affects a whopping 30 million Americans, yet millions remain undiagnosed or abandon CPAP therapy due to its discomfort and inconvenience. Recent innovations in oral appliance therapy, however, are opening up new possibilities for patients seeking safe, effective, and lasting solutions. With sleep apnea linked to virtually every chronic disease—from heart disease to diabetes—the stakes couldn't be higher.So, what if there were a way to actually remodel the airway and reduce dependence on CPAP altogether? Could a non-surgical, dental-based approach reshape the future of sleep apnea treatment?Welcome to I Don't Care. In the latest episode, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson speaks with R. Kirk Huntsman, Chairman and CEO of Vivos Therapeutics. Together, they explore how airway remodeling through oral appliances may offer patients an alternative to CPAP, why craniofacial development is so central to sleep disorders, and how innovations in treatment are changing lives across the country.In this episode, you'll learn:How Vivos Therapeutics' oral appliance technology works by repositioning and redeveloping the jaws to create wider, more functional airways.Why environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors have led to narrower airways in modern populations—and how this contributes to the rise of sleep apnea.What patients can expect in terms of treatment timelines, insurance coverage, and long-term outcomes, including reducing or eliminating dependence on CPAP.R. Kirk Huntsman is a seasoned healthcare entrepreneur with over 35 years of experience founding and leading companies in dental practice management, medical devices, and healthcare services. He built and scaled Dental One, Inc. into a $70M business before its sale, and later co-led the merger that created DentalOne Partners, operating over 150 practices nationwide. Currently Chairman and CEO of Vivos Therapeutics, he focuses on strategic growth, capital acquisition, and innovative technologies to advance treatment for sleep and airway disorders.

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Imran Iftikhar and Dr. Rami Khayat to discuss groundbreaking research on adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) and the newly released AASM clinical practice guidelines for central sleep apnea treatment. Dr. Iftikhar presents his innovative approach to analyzing ASV data through meta-analysis combined with trial sequential analysis, offering fresh insights into the statistical reliability of existing research beyond traditional systematic reviews. His work addresses lingering questions about ASV efficacy and safety that have persisted since the controversial SERVE-HF trial results challenged previous assumptions about this therapy. Meanwhile, Dr. Khayat, who served as vice-chair of the AASM task force, walks through the comprehensive evidence-based recommendations covering the full spectrum of central sleep apnea treatments. The guidelines address critical clinical decisions: When should CPAP be used over no treatment? Who requires BPAP with backup rates? Why does the task force recommend against BPAP without backup rates for central sleep apnea? What role do oxygen, acetazolamide, and transphrenic nerve stimulation play in treatment algorithms? The conversation delves into practical considerations including differences between ASV device algorithms from various manufacturers, the clinical impact of current device availability issues, and findings from Dr. Parthasarathy's bench study. The experts tackle the complex question of ASV use in patients with reduced ejection fraction and clarify important distinctions between primary central sleep apnea and treatment-emergent central sleep apnea (TECSA). This episode addresses the evolving landscape of central sleep apnea management, helping clinicians navigate evidence-based treatment decisions in an era of changing technology and updated safety considerations. Whether you're treating patients with heart failure, complex sleep-disordered breathing, or emerging central events during PAP therapy, this episode provides essential guidance for optimizing care. Join us for this comprehensive update that translates complex research findings into practical clinical applications.

Are you constantly tired despite getting "enough" sleep? Do you wake with headaches or find yourself nodding off during the day? You might be among the one-fifth of adults suffering from sleep apnea without even knowing it.Sleep apnea isn't just about snoring or poor sleep – it's a potentially dangerous condition where breathing repeatedly stops throughout the night, preventing your body from reaching the deep, restorative sleep stages where physical and emotional repair occur. Each breathing interruption triggers a cascade of physiological responses that strain your heart, spike stress hormones, and create chronic inflammation throughout your body.We dive deep into the two types of sleep apnea (obstructive and central), revealing why this condition dramatically increases risks for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cognitive decline. You'll learn how sleep apnea disrupts critical hormones that control hunger and satiety, explaining why poor sleep quality typically leads to overeating by 300-400 calories the next day, especially craving carbs and sugar. The connection between sleep apnea and gut health is particularly fascinating – fragmented sleep may actually reduce microbial diversity and increase gut permeability, further driving systemic inflammation.The good news? Sleep apnea is both diagnosable and treatable. We explore diagnostic testing options and break down treatment approaches from CPAP therapy to lifestyle modifications. You'll discover how plant-based nutrition creates a powerful foundation for addressing sleep apnea through sustainable weight management, reduced inflammation, and improved gut health. Whether you're concerned about your own sleep or someone you care about, this episode provides actionable steps to recognize, address, and potentially reverse this common but serious condition.Don't accept chronic fatigue as normal. Your body might be trying to tell you something important during the night that you're missing while asleep.

Could your child's ADHD symptoms actually be caused by something else entirely—like undiagnosed pediatric sleep apnea? In this compelling episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay is joined by Kirk Huntsman, CEO and co-founder of Vivos Therapeutics. Together, they unpack the often-overlooked connection between sleep and behavior, revealing how disrupted sleep patterns—especially obstructive sleep apnea—can mimic or even contribute to ADHD symptoms in children. Dana and Kirk explore the biological and developmental reasons behind sleep-related misdiagnoses, warning signs parents should look out for, and new, non-invasive treatment options that go far beyond medication or surgery. If your child still struggles with focus, energy, or meltdowns—this episode is essential listening. You'll walk away with a new lens on your child's behavior and practical tools to uncover and address hidden sleep issues that could be holding them back.  Links Mentioned in the Show:  Visit vivos.com to learn more about Vivos Therapeutics  Key Takeaways: [0:00] Introduction: When ADHD Isn't ADHD [2:06] Meet Kirk Huntsman of Vivos [3:46] What Is Pediatric Sleep Apnea?

"They've actually taken kids known to have ADHD and put them in a playground with kids who have sleep disorders—and the experts couldn't tell them apart." "ADHD is actually meant to be a diagnosis of exclusion." "A child that becomes hyperactive shows up at school and becomes that kid that the teacher can't control." "Mouth breathing is one of the early signals that there's a problem.” "Breathing should be silent, consistent, and through the nose—not through the mouth." "Putting a child in braces that already has compromised oral development can make the problem worse." "We were designed to be obligate nasal breathers." "Night terrors are not normal."

In this episode, Kevin and Zach return from a hiatus and catch up on their summer adventures before introducing a special guest: Kevin's hygienist, Maryann McFarland. Maryann shares her journey through a 32-year career in hygiene, from a frustrating first job in a "prophy mill" to finding her work home in Kevin's practice. She discusses how embracing new challenges like sleep apnea treatment, clear aligner therapy, and administering local anesthesia has reinvigorated her passion for dentistry and transformed her job satisfaction. Key Takeaways Find Your "Work Home": A positive and supportive work environment is crucial for long-term career satisfaction. Maryanne's story shows the stark contrast between a high-turnover practice and one that invests in its team. Trust Empowers Your Team: Practice owners who trust their team members with new responsibilities and encourage them to develop their skills can unlock a higher level of engagement and satisfaction. As Maryanne says, Kevin "finds what we're good at and he lets us run with it." Hygiene is More Than Cleaning Teeth: Expanding a hygienist's role beyond traditional prophies to include comprehensive care like sleep apnea, orthodontics, and implants can combat burnout and foster significant professional growth, even for a 30+ year veteran. Embrace Lifelong Learning: Being open to learning new skills, like when Maryanne took on local anesthesia after 30 years without it, can be challenging but ultimately become one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

Story at-a-glance Sleep apnea, especially during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, causes oxygen drops that damage small brain vessels and raise dementia risk, often before cognitive symptoms become noticeable New research links REM-specific oxygen loss to white matter lesions and entorhinal cortex thinning, two key markers of early neurodegeneration in aging and Alzheimer's disease Standard apnea scores like apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) often miss these deeper risks because they don't measure oxygen depth or track when during sleep the damage occurs Long-term studies confirm that even mild, untreated apnea accelerates brain aging and disproportionately increases dementia risk in women compared to men Treatments like breathing machines, oral devices, and lifestyle changes reduce apnea severity and help preserve brain health by ensuring proper oxygen delivery during sleep
