In this episode, we hear from Pr Steve and his wife Toni, which we recorded live on stage at an event held in Bendigo, Victoria. Pr Steve talks about the debilitating, and I mean debilitating, anxiety he suffered and the impact this had on his work, relationship, physical health...so much so, that in 1 year, he spent half a wage on doctors' visits. Toni (& Steve) also tell us about Toni's sleep apnoea. They're incredible stories, such different illnesses, but the same outcome - a complete healing by God.

Pharmaceutical company Apnimed said its pill, AD109, is a simple-to-use once-daily oral drug that could "expand and reshape the treatment landscape." Armed with findings from critical phase 3 clinical trials, the company said within months, it's set to submit the pill for a New Drug Application with the Food and Drug Administration. Covering hundreds of studies on digital media and health effects over the last 20 years, the review’s findings mark a departure from previous thoughts on screen use.

In this season 8 premiere of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes three members of the AASM guideline committee—Dr. Rami Khayat, Professor and Division Chief of Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine and Director of Penn State Health Sleep Services; Dr. Shirine Allam, Professor of Medicine at Emory University and Program Director for the Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship at the Atlanta VA Medical Center; and Dr. Christine Won, Medical Director of Yale Centers for Sleep Medicine and Professor of Medicine at Yale University—to discuss the newly released AASM clinical practice guidelines for central sleep apnea treatment. The conversation begins with the rigorous process behind guideline development, clarifying the distinction between evidence-based recommendations and expert opinion. The panel systematically walks through each recommendation, addressing CPAP use across various CSA etiologies including primary CSA, heart failure-related CSA, medication-induced CSA, treatment-emergent CSA, and CSA due to medical conditions. A surprising recommendation against BPAP without backup rate generates discussion about why backup rates matter and why heart failure patients are excluded from certain BPAP recommendations. The experts tackle the controversial topic of adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV), explaining why it's now conditionally recommended even for heart failure patients despite SERVE-HF trial concerns. They clarify that newer ASV algorithms differ from devices used in that study and emphasize the importance of patient-provider shared decision-making and treatment at experienced centers. Practical implementation guidance covers oxygen therapy for heart failure and high-altitude CSA, including insurance coverage challenges. The panel discusses acetazolamide use across multiple CSA etiologies, providing concrete advice on prescribing and follow-up protocols. Transvenous phrenic nerve stimulation receives attention as an option for select patients, with candid discussion about its invasive nature, accessibility limitations, and high costs. The episode addresses the shift toward viewing CSA treatment as chronic disease management, including billing code G211 implications. The experts emphasize that guidelines guide but don't constrain clinical judgment, stressing the importance of monitoring beyond AHI—including patient symptoms and quality of life improvements. Whether you're treating complex central sleep apnea, navigating insurance coverage, or seeking clarity on when ASV is appropriate, this review provides essential guidance for implementing evidence-based CSA treatment. Join us for this season premiere that translates complex guidelines into practical clinical applications.

New research from UT Health San Antonio finds a link between obstructive sleep apnea and persistent pain, suggesting that the intermittant lack of oxygen caused by apnea decreases a person's ability to recover from painful stimuli.

Sleep apnea is often thought of as loud snoring or poor sleep, but its impact goes far beyond the bedroom. In this episode, we explain how NightLase treatment for sleep apnea may support deeper sleep, better airflow, and improved overall wellness for certain patients. At Allure Medical, we see many individuals who don't fit the “typical” sleep apnea profile. Some struggle with fatigue, brain fog, poor focus, or symptoms they never connected to sleep quality. When breathing is disrupted during sleep, the body may never reach restorative deep sleep stages, affecting the brain, cardiovascular system, digestion, and more. This educational discussion breaks down how NightLase treatment for sleep apnea works, who may be a candidate, and why identifying sleep-disordered breathing early matters. You'll also learn how improving sleep quality can support cognitive performance, daytime alertness, and long-term health. NightLase treatment for sleep apnea is one of several options available today. While it may not be right for everyone, it represents a non-surgical approach that some patients explore when CPAP or other therapies are difficult to tolerate.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - A Patient Story That Changed Everything 00:34 - What Is NightLase Treatment for Sleep Apnea? 00:39 - How Sleep Apnea Disrupts Deep Sleep 01:03 - Why Deep Sleep Matters for Brain Health 01:16 - Who Is (and Isn't) a Typical Sleep Apnea Patient 01:27 - How Many Treatments Are Usually Needed 01:52 - Unexpected Improvements Patients Notice 02:49 - Sleep Apnea, Focus, and Daytime Alertness 03:36 - Sleep Apnea and Whole-Body Health 04:23 - Other Treatment Options Besides NightLase 04:44 - Why Screening for Sleep Apnea MattersLearn More: https://www.alluremedical.com/Books & Research: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/Follow Dr. Charles Mok & Allure Medical: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-mok-4a0432114/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alluremedicals/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AllureMedical TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alluremedicalAmazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Charles-Mok/author/B0791M9FZQInner Circle Membership: https://www.alluremedic#insidethecure

Most health insurance is designed to treat disease after it shows up, not to keep you truly healthy or extend your life. In this video, we explain how longevity medicine and preventive screening can help reduce your risk of heart attacks, cancer, dementia, and other predictable causes of death. We walk through a practical “pyramid” of health: starting with foundations like exercise, VO₂ max, strength, sleep, stress management, and nutrition. From there, we move into regenerative medicine tools such as hormone replacement therapy, testosterone support for men, joint and arthritis treatment, metabolic weight-loss programs, venous circulation care, and sleep apnea treatment. Then we explore advanced preventive screening that goes beyond basic labs, coronary calcium scores, CIMT, full-body MRI, and neuro-quantitative brain scans that can reveal problems years before symptoms appear. Our goal with longevity medicine and preventive screening is not just to add years to your life, but to add quality to those years. We want you to understand your real risks early and know what options exist before a major event occurs.Timestamps:00:00 — Why Health Insurance Doesn't Create Longevity02:10 — Phase 1: Fitness, VO₂ Max & Lifestyle Foundations03:35 — Why Being Fit Makes You Harder to Kill04:15 — Phase 2: Regenerative Medicine & Hormone Therapy06:30 — Weight Loss, Metabolic Health & Lifespan07:30 — Sleep Apnea and 3x Higher Mortality Risk08:15 — Phase 3: Preventing Predictable Causes of Death08:40 — Advanced Heart Screening Beyond Standard Labs09:40 — Full-Body MRI, Cancer Screening & Early Detection10:20 — Brain Imaging and Early Dementia Risk11:55 — Biological Age vs Chronological Age12:30 — Reversing Heart Disease Risk with Data13:10 — Why Knowing Your Risk Early Changes EverythingLearn More: https://www.alluremedical.com/Books & Research: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/Follow Dr. Charles Mok & Allure Medical: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-mok-4a0432114/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alluremedicals/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AllureMedical TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alluremedicalAmazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Charles-Mok/author/B0791M9FZQInner Circle Membership: https://www.alluremedical.com/inner-circle-membership/Subscribe to the show & leave a 5-star review!#insidethecure

In this episode, we go deep on sleep apnea + chronic nasal congestion—and we do it the Integrative You way: yes, there can be very real physical causes (strep colonies, mold, parasites, tonsils, lymph congestion, inflammation)… but if you've “done all the things” and nothing is shifting, we're inviting you to look at the mind-body root.   Nicole shares her own journey with sinus issues and the moment it clicked: “subconscious suffocation.”We unpack how the body can mirror the feeling of being trapped, pressured, or unable to fully be you—and how that can show up as gasping, snoring, congestion, or full-blown apnea. Then we tie it together with practical nervous system tools (vagus nerve support, hypnosis/vasovagal reset), while still keeping the main point: if you don't remove the stressor, you're just managing symptoms.   #SleepApnea #NasalCongestion #SnoringSolutions #VagusNerve #PolyvagalTheory #NervousSystemRegulation #MindBodyMedicine #PsychosomaticHealing #HolisticHealth #FunctionalMedicine #IntegrativeMedicine #BreathworkHealing #TraumaInTheBody #HypnosisHealing #SomaticHealing #LymphaticDrainage #SinusHealth #InflammationHealing #RootCauseHealing #TheDoctorDuo   3 Key Takeaways: Sleep apnea can mirror “I feel trapped” (literally or symbolically). Trapped in a job, relationship, role, pressure, injected values—your body can express that as not being able to breathe at night. Physical protocols matter… but they're not always the root. If you've tried sprays, red light, drainage, devices, supplements, etc. and nothing changes, it doesn't mean the tools are bad—it means you may be treating the wrong cause. The vagus nerve isn't just something you “hack”—it's something you heal at the source. Breathwork, humming, gargling, resets, hypnosis can help, but lasting change comes from identifying what's chronically keeping your system in fight-or-flight (and asking better questions).    Quotes:  “If something you feel like really didn't even make the slightest bit of a change… it's not the root cause.” “If you're constantly working on healing the body and it's not healing… the body's not the problem.

In this episode of Healthy Sleep Revolution, we're joined by Dr. Mayoor Patel, DDS, MS, a leading expert in dental sleep medicine and co-editor of Dental Sleep Medicine: A Clinical Guide, a comprehensive textbook used by clinicians to understand the intersection of dentistry and sleep medicine. Dr. Patel has spent decades focused on TMJ disorders, orofacial pain, and sleep-disordered breathing, bringing a depth of clinical experience and academic insight that challenges how many dental and sleep practices currently operate. Boswell Books+1 We discuss the significant gaps that exist between traditional dental practice and effective sleep medicine, including why sleep-disordered breathing often goes unrecognized in dental settings and how expanding screening protocols can change patient outcomes. Dr. Patel explains practical approaches for dentists and sleep clinicians to better identify, assess, and manage sleep-disordered breathing, emphasizing the role of thorough airway evaluation, collaboration across disciplines, and taking patient symptoms seriously rather than overlooking them. Boswell Books We also delve into the clinical realities that are frequently missed, including the nuanced presentation of airway issues in patients, and why oral appliance therapy and comprehensive management strategies need to be more widely adopted. Dr. Patel further explores the often-overlooked connection between pain and sleep, highlighting how unresolved orofacial pain and airway dysfunction can create a cycle of poor sleep, increased pain sensitivity, and systemic health consequences. This episode equips listeners with a clearer framework for bridging dental care and sleep health, empowering both providers and patients to pursue more holistic, effective solutions. About Dr. Mayoor Patel Dr. Patel received his dental degree from the University of Tennessee in 1994.  After graduation he completed a one-year residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD). In 2011 he completed a Masters in Science from Tufts University in the area of Craniofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine. Dr. Patel is Board certified in Orofacial pain and Dental sleep medicine. Presently, Dr. Patel is a co-founder of the British Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Ben-Pat Institute and a visiting faculty at Tufts University.  He also served on the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain as secretary, board member of the British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine, and a board member and as examination chair for the American Board of Craniofacial Pain and Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine. In the past has served as a founding and board member of the Georgia Association of Sleep Professionals. Since 2003, Dr. Patel has limited his practice to the treatment of TMJ Disorders, Headaches, Orofacial Pain and Sleep Apnea.  Additional contributions have been published: a textbook for Dental Sleep Medicine and numerous textbook chapters on orofacial pain and dental sleep medicine, consumer books, one on treatment options for sleep apnea and the other on understanding temporomandibular disorders, and various professional and consumer articles.

Nearly 30 million Americans are living with sleep apnea, yet many go undiagnosed. On this episode of The Mark White Show, Dr. Kuljeet (Kelly) Gill, a neurologist and sleep medicine specialist with Northwestern Medicine, explains the warning signs of sleep apnea, why symptoms are often overlooked, especially in women, and what happens during a sleep study. She also discusses popular sleep trackers, viral trends like mouth taping, and when weight loss or GLP-1 medications may help reduce risk. A timely conversation for anyone struggling with fatigue or poor sleep.

On this Make A Difference Minute, Dr. Kuljeet (Kelly) Gill, neurologist and sleep medicine specialist with Northwestern Medicine, explains what sleep apnea is and shares common warning signs people often miss, including lingering fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, and symptoms that can look different in women.

New research shows that people with untreated sleep apnea experience a sharp nighttime drop in blood vessel function driven by the circadian system, increasing vulnerability to heart attacks and other cardiac events In a tightly controlled sleep-lab study, participants' arteries showed their worst ability to dilate around 3:00 a.m., revealing an 82% decline in vascular function during the biological night This impairment persisted even after adjusting for blood flow, sleep quality, and apnea severity, confirming the circadian system — not behavior or breathing events — directly weakens vascular health at night The findings help explain why people with sleep apnea experience more nighttime cardiac events, contrasting with the general population's morning peak in heart attacks and sudden cardiac death Researchers emphasize that understanding circadian timing may help refine cardiovascular treatments for sleep apnea patients, including optimizing medication schedules to enhance nighttime vascular protection

Dr Jill Valerius and Lee Henrikson begin a four-part discussion about sleep apnea.

In this episode, Hallie Bulkin addresses what she calls "one of the most misunderstood topics in our field" : tongue tie diagnosis. She challenges the common clinical practice of relying on visual assessment—hearing clinicians say, "it looks tied" or "it's a mild tie"—and emphatically states that function is what determines a diagnosis, not appearance.Hallie introduces a 4-step framework for making confident, clinically sound decisions : Function, Form, Impact, Decision. She emphasizes that the appearance-based mindset often leads to both over- and under-diagnosis of ties, and that true diagnosis requires observing the tongue's mobility, coordination, and control within the entire system.Hallie also stresses the importance of addressing compensatory movements, which she believes mask true movement and should not be taught as a form of "survival mode". For optimal outcomes, treatment must focus on function and consider the whole connected system—airway, jaw, spine, and nervous system.In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️Function is the key determinant of a tongue tie diagnosis, not the visual appearance of the tissue✔️ The risk of the "appearance-based mindset" leading to over- and under-diagnosis✔️ A four-step clinical reasoning framework for assessment: Function to Form to Impact to Decision✔️ Why a short or tight-looking frenulum may not restrict movement, while a hidden posterior tie can create major functional restriction✔️ Compensatory strategies often mask the need for a release and take more energy, leading to a "survival mode"✔️ Diagnosis requires a functional limitation PLUS a meaningful impact on the person's life (e.g., feeding, speech, sleep quality)✔️ Why functional readiness must be assessed to determine if and when the body is ready for a lingual release.✔️ The release is not a "magical instant fix"; therapy before and after is crucial for neuromuscular reeducation and success.✔️ Treatment must consider the whole connected system (airway, jaw, cervical spine, nervous system), not just the tongue in isolation.RELATED EPISODES YOU MIGHT LOVEEp 347: Airway First: The Pediatric Dentist's Essential Role in Treating Tongue Ties and Growth IssuesEP 348: Tongue Ties, Sleep Apnea & More: The Patient-Centered Approach to Airway DentistryOTHER WAYS TO CONNECT & LEARN

In this episode, Hallie Bulkin discusses the complexities surrounding tethered oral tissues, specifically tongue ties, lip ties, and buckle ties. She emphasizes that not all ties require surgical release and that the decision should be based on functional impacts such as speech, feeding, and sleep. Hallie highlights the importance of thorough evaluations and the role of therapy in determining the necessity of a release. She advocates for a patient-centered approach, considering individual goals and the overall impact on health and function.In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️Not all ties need to be released; it depends on function.✔️Function is the key driver in determining the need for release.✔️Research is often behind clinical practice by about 17 years.✔️Therapy can sometimes eliminate the need for a release.✔️Evaluations should focus on how tethered tissues impact daily life.✔️Compensatory strategies can mask the need for a release.✔️Patient goals should guide treatment decisions.✔️Open mouth posture is a significant indicator for evaluation.✔️Therapy before and after release is crucial for success.✔️Individualized treatment plans are essential for optimal outcomes.RELATED EPISODES YOU MIGHT LOVEEpisode 200: Functional Impact: When A Tongue Tie Is ACTUALLY A Tongue TieEp 348: Airway Dentistry Demystified: Kassi Klein on Tongue Ties, Sleep Apnea & Childhood DevelopmentOTHER WAYS TO CONNECT & LEARN

I am delighted to connect with Dr. Andrea Matsumura today. Dr. Matsumura, affectionately known as the Sleep Goddess, is a board-certified sleep medicine physician, menopause expert, speaker, and the founder of the Dream Sleep Method.  In our conversation today, we explore how different life stages impact our sleep quality. We discuss the effects of wearable technology, orthosomnia, and sleep stages, and explain why sleep quality is more important than its quantity. Dr. Matsumura highlights the red flags for sleep, breaks down how sleep deprivation affects our health, and examines specific sleep issues, including sleep-disordered breathing, Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome, chronic insomnia, and the challenges of shift work. She explains why sleep apnea is seen more commonly in menopause, and how it occurs in 67% of menopausal women, yet most fail to realize that they have it. We also tackle the risks of untreated sleep apnea and the sleep syndrome of menopause, sharing ways to address sleep issues with appliances, technology, medications, cognitive behavioral therapy, and ACT therapy, and pointing out those that have proven to be ineffective.  This conversation with Dr. Matsumura is truly invaluable, and I look forward to reconnecting once her new book is published. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How hormone changes in menopause impact airway function and sleep quality. Why sleep apnea in women often goes undiagnosed  How fragmented sleep affects brain function and mood Why even mild sleep apnea can have significant health consequences How different hormones influence specific stages of sleep.

Super Bowl Champion and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Ryan Jensen joins the conversation to discuss a critical health issue that impacts lives both on and off the field — sleep apnea. He recounts the pivotal moment that changed everything: a season marked by significant weight loss, declining mood, and reduced performance, culminating in a candid call from his father that prompted an at-home sleep study. The results were alarming, ten hours in bed yielding only eighty minutes of restorative sleep, with over fifty apnea events per hour. Initiating CPAP therapy not only revived his professional career but, more importantly, saved his life.SHOWNOTES:

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Doug Kirsch, Medical Director of Atrium Health Sleep Medicine and Clinical Professor in the Department of Neurology at Wake Forest School of Medicine, and Dr. Fariha Abbasi-Feinberg, president-elect of the AASM and private practice physician with Millennium Physician Group in Fort Myers, Florida, to introduce PLATO—a groundbreaking longitudinal assessment tool for obstructive sleep apnea. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale has been a cornerstone of sleep medicine practice for decades, yet clinicians universally acknowledge its limitations in capturing the full patient experience. Similarly, PAP adherence—while important and part of Medicare's MIPS program—tells only part of the story about treatment success. During his AASM presidency, Dr. Kirsch recognized the need for a more comprehensive metric and convened an expert advisory panel to develop a better solution. The conversation traces PLATO's development journey, which Dr. Rosen described as "Doug's baby with a prolonged gestation." Starting with 44 potential questions and utilizing the ICON methodology, the panel carefully refined the tool to capture domains beyond simple sleepiness—including quality of life, functional impairment, and symptom burden that the Epworth overlooks. Dr. Kirsch and Dr. Abbasi-Feinberg explain the validation process, how the tool discriminates between OSA severity levels, and why certain seemingly similar questions about sleepiness were all retained. The episode addresses practical implementation questions: How is PLATO scored? Why do the first two sections use 5-point scales while the final section uses 10 points? Is it free to use, and how does one access it? Will it integrate into electronic health record systems like Epic? Most importantly, how should clinicians use this tool—will it replace the Epworth for Medicare requirements, or does it serve a different purpose? The discussion also explores how PLATO relates to the recent AHRQ report on OSA treatment outcomes and why the tool focuses on patient-reported symptoms rather than solely cardiovascular endpoints. Dr. Kirsch shares his vision for PLATO's future, including hopes for foundation grants to further study the tool and demonstrate that treating OSA and its associated sleepiness meaningfully improves patient outcomes. Whether you're frustrated with current assessment limitations, interested in value-based care metrics, or seeking better ways to document treatment efficacy beyond adherence data, this episode provides essential insights into a tool that may reshape how we measure success in sleep medicine. Join us for this important discussion about moving beyond PAP adherence and Epworth scores to truly capture what matters to our patients.

A Complementary Approach That Takes Just a Few Minutes a Day The Sleep Apnea Solution has helped thousands take back control of their sleep by focusing on a critical—yet often overlooked—factor: your breathing pattern.Written by Dylan Petkus, MD, MPH, MS—a medically trained (but not licensed by choice) sleep educator featured in Healthline, Forbes, TIME, and Yahoo! Life—this guide blends deep scientific knowledge with personal experience.After facing his own struggles with obstructive sleep apnea and finding limited relief through traditional options like CPAPs and mouthguards, Dylan took a different path. He chose to focus on education and prevention rather than prescriptions or procedures. That's why he is not medically licensed by choice—so he can serve others freely as an educator and put the power back in the hands of people for their best health.Dylan Petkus went on a multi-year journey exploring natural, science-informed methods to support breathing, airway function, and sleep quality. The strategies in this book are the result of that work—designed to complement medical care, not replace it. This has helped Dylan Petkus be medically clear of sleep apnea, and this is not intended to cure or treat sleep apnea.Inside, you'll discover:The mechanics of sleep apnea and how breathing impacts your rest.How to partner with your doctor while exploring complementary options.Simple lifestyle and breathing techniques that take just minutes a day.A step-by-step approach to building your own personalized routine.You'll also get 11 free resources, including guided breathing tracks and tools to help you take action.Whether you're just starting your journey or looking for a fresh approach, The Sleep Apnea Solution empowers you to make real, lasting change—on your terms.https://dylanpetkusmd.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
