Podcasts about Sleep apnea

Did you know you can fix sleep apnea without CPAP? Discover 3 sleep apnea exercises that can help stop sleep apnea naturally and even help with snoring for better sleep and better health.

Dr Shereen Lim is a Perth-based dentist and among the first in Australia to complete a postgraduate qualification in Dental Sleep Medicine. She began her career working with adults with snoring and sleep apnea but soon recognized that many of these problems had their roots in childhood and could often be lessened or delayed through earlier identification and management. This insight inspired her focus on children's airway health, where she now works in tongue-tie management and early interceptive orthodontics to promote healthy breathing, sleep, and growth. She is the author of Breathe, Sleep, Thrive: Discover How Airway Health Can Unlock Your Child's Potential, a book that has reached families and professionals worldwide. Dr Lim is passionate about promoting integrative care and raising awareness of children's airway health as the foundation for thriving health and vitality. SHOWNOTES:

Central sleep apnea is a complex and often underrecognized sleep-related breathing disorder that differs from obstructive sleep apnea by involving reduced respiratory drive rather than upper airway obstruction. In this episode, Dr. Ran Liu reviews the underlying mechanisms of central sleep apnea, including the role of ventilatory control instability, discusses its association with neurologic conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, ALS, and myasthenic disorders, and highlights key considerations for diagnosis and management. Learn how emerging technologies, personalized treatment strategies, and advances in sleep medicine are improving outcomes for patients with this heterogeneous group of disorders. In this episode, Teshamae Monteith, MD, FAAN, speaks with Ran R. Liu, MD, FRCPC, MSc, author of the article "Central Sleep Apnea" in the Continuum® August 2026 Sleep Neurology issue. Dr. Monteith is the associate editor of Continuum® Audio and an associate professor of clinical neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami, Florida. Dr. Liu is an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, and an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada.

Today, I'm interviewing Dr. Richard Liu about his article on central sleep apnea. This article appears in the August 2026 Continuum issue on Neurology of Sleep. Welcome to our podcast. How are you?  Dr Liu: Good. Thank you, Dr. Monteith, for having me today.  Dr Monteith: Please introduce yourself to our audience.  Dr Liu: Hello, everybody. My name is Richard Liu. I am a sleep neurologist. I am working out of Toronto at both Sunnybrook Health Science Center and MedSleep. I did my residency at Queen's for neurology and my sleep medicine fellowship at Harvard University.  Dr Monteith: Great. And what got you interested in sleep?  Dr Liu: Thank you very much for asking. For me, sleep medicine is a field where essentially everything is connected. Certainly, impaired sleep can affect many other conditions, including many neurological conditions. And even within sleep medicine, when somebody has a sleep disorder, often the entire system is connected. So as an example, if you have insomnia and fragmented sleep and periodic limb movements of sleep, certainly these conditions can impact sleep apnea. And certainly, for today's topic of central sleep apnea, this is an extremely complicated disorder where it's a very in-depth integration between neurological and respiratory physiology, among other systems as well.  Dr Monteith: So, I guess you're kind of like the cornerstone, sleep being the cornerstone of neurology. Everyone has to sleep. That's for sure. Great. So why don't we talk about what central sleep apnea is, and how prevalent is it as a collective group of disorders compared to obstructive sleep apnea?  Dr Liu: So, one way to think about central sleep apnea is that this is a heterogeneous group of etiology. But the primary concept here for central sleep apnea is that there's a reduction in respiratory drive. This is in contrast to obstructive sleep apnea, where essentially this is some form of airway obstruction in the presence of relatively intact respiratory drive. And of course, there's mixed apneas where they may contain features of both. But of course, now we know that even obstructive sleep apnea, there's a certain degree of drive dependence somewhat blurring these distinctions. The overall prevalence of central sleep apnea is about five to ten percent of all patients with sleep- disorder breathing. And certainly, it could be higher in some neurological conditions, such as things like stroke, multiple sclerosis, and multisystem atrophy.  Dr Monteith: Great. So certainly, it's out there. Why don't you tell us about the objectives of your article?  Dr Liu: Absolutely. Thank you for asking. I think the main objective of this article is really to highlight that central sleep apnea is a complex syndrome resulting from a large group of heterogeneous etiologies. And of course, again, it could be associated with many neurological conditions. And really here, I want to highlight advancements, both medicine and technology, on both the side of diagnosis of central sleep apnea, as well as the multimodal targeted treatment.  Dr Monteith: And what do you want our listeners to take away from this talk and certainly your article? What are the key essential points?  Dr Liu: Thank you very much for asking. I think that one way of looking at central sleep apnea to etiologically divide this into both hypocapnic and hypercapnic central sleep apnea. And of course, loop gain being a major driver for a hypocapnic central sleep apnea, and that one can actually think about hypocapnic central sleep apnea beyond a phenotypic spectrum with obstructive sleep apnea, with many patients having overlapping features of both obstruction and central component. On the other hand, hypercapnic central sleep apnea, often also known as hyperventilation syndrome, can span etiology from chemoreflex dysfunction to a broad range of neuroanatomical localization, such as central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscle disorders.  Dr Monteith: And what are some of the symptoms of central sleep apnea? Do any of them differ from obstructive sleep apnea?  Dr Liu: Thank you for asking, that's an excellent question. So certainly, central sleep apnea symptoms can overlap with obstructive sleep apnea symptoms. And of course, given the large range of underlying etiology, often the CSA symptoms depend on the underlying etiology. There may be less snoring compared to obstructive sleep apnea patients, especially the hypocapnic CSA patients. Of course, these patients, like OSA, may have frequent awakenings, gasping and choking their sleep, and nocturia, and so on.These patients may have daytime sleepiness, insomnia-like symptoms, or they could be asymptomatic. Interestingly, the hypocarbnic central sleep apnea patients, they're a bit more prone to have the insomnia-like symptoms, whereas the hypercarbnic central sleep apnea patients, they tend to have a bit more of the daytime sleepiness and morning headaches.  Dr Monteith: You spoke about some of the neurological disorders that might be associated with central sleep apnea, like stroke and multiple sclerosis. What about some of the more traditional risk factors associated with obstructive sleep apnea or conditions associated with it, like obesity and hypertension? Or does that just mix the picture?  Dr Liu: There is many overlap between risk factors between obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea, and certainly one of the things that I highlight in this article is really that often it's not just black and white, that this could be a spectrum with overlapping disease between both conditions. So certainly, in our neurological world, stroke is the most common thing that may be associated with central sleep apnea. But overall, cardiovascular issues such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation, these things can also be associated with central sleep apnea. And again, from the neurological perspective, if we were to divide from hypocarbnic versus hypercarbnic central sleep apnea, by thinking about the hypercarbic central sleep apnea, again, this is where we're thinking about hypoventilation syndromes. You know, anything that can cause neuromuscular weakness, this is something that we should have a high alarm for, that potentially there may be a hypoventilation component. So, things like any myasthenic syndromes and ALS.  Dr Monteith: Great. Why don't we also talk about the classification? When was the last time central sleep apnea's classification was updated, and what should we know about the classification?  Dr Liu: The most recent classification for central sleep apnea is written in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, third edition. In this edition, it's classified with six central sleep apnea syndromes. So, these are the CSA with Cheyne-Stoke breathing, CSA due to high altitude periodic breathing, primary CSA, CSA due to medication or substance, CSA due to medical disorder without Cheyne-Stoke breathing, and treatment-emergent central sleep apnea. These classifications more so describe the circumstance of when CSA occurs. A more etiological classification that we can consider would be classifying them by the underlying pathophysiology, which is dividing this from hypercarbnic central sleep apnea versus a hypocarbnic central sleep apnea. Certainly, both set of classification are discussed in this article.  Dr Monteith: Yeah. You discussed at length, the major physiological factors that our audience is just going to have to read. I don't want them to hear this too much while they're driving or on the treadmill, cause its super high level. But why don't we just start with some very basic factors that we need to know about this circuitry?  Dr Liu: Perhaps I can start with this concept of loop gain, which is the most important concept under hypocarbnic central sleep apnea. For any one of my colleagues who's listening to this, they're probably laughing right now cause they think that loop gain is my favorite word. So, loop gain is an engineering term referring to the sensitivity of a feedback loop. So, in the context of sleep medicine, this is an overly sensitive respiratory control to carbon dioxide and oxygen fluctuation. There are three components. The main one is controller gain. This is a chemosensitivity predominant to CO2. The second is plant gain, which is the lung's effectiveness for carbon dioxide excretion. And the last is what's called the mixing gain. This is circuitry delay from the time the signal travels from the pulmonary artery to the peripheral and central chemoreceptors. So conceptually, one may think, let's say something decreases your ventilation, so for example, apnea or hypopnea. With this, as you can imagine, when you stop breathing, your CO2 builds up, and this builds up according to the curve of the plant gain. And of course, this build of CO2 signal takes time to go from your lung to your chemoreceptor. That's your mixing gain. And of course, here it meets the overly sensitive chemoreceptors. This is your controller gain. As a result, this results in amplification of your ventilation to the initial respiratory disturbance. So, you have a overshoot of ventilation. All of a sudden, you're blowing out too much carbon dioxide, then you become hypocarbnic. At one point, if you blow out way too much carbon dioxide, your CO2 goes below what's called a PCO2 apneic threshold. After this, if your CO2's below, you essentially stop breathing. And of course, after that, you can imagine your CO2s are building up again. So, when this loop goes over and over, you generate what's called a chemoreflex-driven respiratory oscillation, where you create a crescendo, decrescendo-like flow pattern, which is underneath what we see in periodic breathing in central sleep apnea.  Dr Monteith: So, without going into too much detail, what is the key way to target restoration of equilibrium? Are there anatomical targets, physiologic targets that we're trying to manipulate here? Dr Liu: Again, thank you very much for that wonderful question. There's certainly many approaches that we could do to improve the stability of the system. Certainly, there are treatments for ventilation, either CPAP or in the case of hypocarbon central sleep apnea, things like adaptive servo ventilation. There is also medications that we can certainly discuss later that can double down the entire system for loop gain. Positional therapy can help for many of these patients. For the appropriate patient, improving their arousal threshold can actually reduce arousal-induced amplification of loop gain. Many of these patients, again, if appropriate, certainly weight loss may be helpful, and these are among many things that we can potentially do to improve the ventilatory stability of these patients.  Dr Monteith: Okay, great. But let's also talk about the general overall approach to diagnosing, and much of it is by history, as you mentioned. There's also sometimes a need, as you say, to differentiate out how much is obstructive. So, what is the thinking process there when you're approaching a patient?  Dr Liu: So perhaps I can start with in terms of the diagnostic modalities that we could use for this. So, the gold standard for diagnosis of central sleep apnea is still our polysonogram. The home sleep apnea test sometimes may be harder to distinguish between obstructive and central events. In addition, on a PSG, you have EEG. This allows you to assess for sleep quality and arousals, as well as the EMGs, which can help you pick up periodic limb movements of sleep. And of course, all of these things themselves can affect the central sleep apnea and can be a potential treatment factor.  Dr Monteith: Before we get into treatment, can you just give us, like, the top five or six drugs or drug classes we need to look for so that, you know, we can discontinue or try something else for our patients that might be complicating their presentation?  Dr Liu: Certainly medications, in some cases, can help central sleep apnea, but other cases can certainly be a precipitant of central sleep apnea. So, one thing to consider would be opioid medication. They can certainly cause very complicated central sleep apnea, something called ataxic breathing, where you have irregularity to the tidal volume and the rate of breathing. Other medications such as Oxybate, baclofen, valproic acid, gabapentin, all of which can certainly contribute to central sleep apnea. And of course, in the stroke world, something that we should always think about is that Tetagelor can also contribute to central sleep apnea. And outside of this, things like muscle relaxants, anesthetic agents can also be a contributor.  Dr Monteith: Great. Now let's get into some of the treatment.  Dr Liu: I like to divide treatment into targeting a hypercarbnic central sleep apnea and a hypocarbonic central sleep apnea. For hypocarbonic central sleep apnea, the first line is CPAP treatment. But for many patients, CPAP therapy is insufficient. There's also adaptive servo ventilation, which is an advanced device designed for hypocarbonic central sleep apnea. For hypercarbic central sleep apnea, again, first line is CPAP treatment, with more advanced devices being a bilevel therapy as well as volume-assured pressure support ventilation. There are also medications that can reduce loop gain, with the most researched one being acetazolamide. We can also reduce arousal thresholds, which could be appropriate for certain patients. And for certain patients, improving arousal threshold can be helpful as, especially in hypocarbic central sleep apnea, that arousals can amplify loop gain. Weight loss can be helpful for both hyper- and hypocarbonic central sleep apnea, and we have great new medication on the market for this. Other therapy can include supplemental oxygen that can be added to PAP devices, as well as phrenic nerve stimulation, positional therapy, as well as carbon dioxide modulation.  Dr Monteith: Excellent. So, it sounds like there's a lot of opportunity to help patients. Now, what are you most excited about in terms of latest development for detection as well as for intervention?  Dr Liu: Thank you very much. I'm actually excited about many things in sleep medicine. Perhaps the thing that I'm most excited about in detection in sleep medicine would be the wearable technologies. So, these technologies may use photoplethysmography to detect peripheral artertonometry. This is where we're measuring the pulsatile arterial volume signals as a surrogate of cardiac and respiratory function. And when paired, that was often desaturation. With these technologies, we can actually detect the staging, autonomic arousals, and HI. So of course, these technologies do not have flow, and they do not have EEG. But they're very powerful technology that allows us to do multi-night testing from home. And of course, understanding both the potential limitation of these technology in the context of patients can be very useful. In terms of treatment-wise, we're learning so much about the underlying contributing drivers of different forms of central sleep apnea. So again, this is highlighted in my article that many of these patients needs multimodal targeted treatment, both between either a PAP device in addition to other things such as medication, oxygen, positional therapy, and so on.  Dr Monteith: Great. So, I mean, I think there's so much to this field. Your article is very extensive. Thank you very much for writing this.

To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book, The Invisible Profession, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next.Special Guest: Matt Everatt.

According to a study published in the Journal of Thoracic Disease in 2015, 10% of all people are affected by obstructive sleep apnea. That figure rises for some population groups, like men, over-50s and overweight people.  It's actually a mechanical disorder, rather than an illness. When we go to sleep, our muscles relax; that's totally normal. But when it comes to people affected by apnea, the soft tissue at the back of the throat collapses, blocking the airway. How long do these breathing pauses last? And how serious is the condition? How is sleep apnea usually detected? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition that affects millions globally, causing daytime sleepiness, lack of oxygen, and higher risks of developing cardiac issues. A new randomized control trial, called the Pavlov study, evaluated the efficacy and long-term conditioning effects of a positional therapy device for treating positional obstructive sleep apnea. Irene Cano-Pumarega, MD, PhD, Ramón y Cajal Hospital, discusses how she and her team developed the study, the initial results, and what future positional treatments for OSA could look like on this episode of the ATS Breathe Easy podcast.

What if the best Sleep Apnea ENT solution isn't surgery?In this episode of SleepTech Talk, we sit down with Madan Kandula, MD, board-certified ENT, founder and CEO of ADVENT, to explore a different approach to treating obstructive sleep apnea, snoring, breathing problems, and other ENT-related conditions.Dr. Kandula challenges the idea that seeing a surgeon must lead to surgery. Instead, the conversation focuses on understanding the whole patient, identifying the underlying causes of their breathing and sleep problems, and finding the treatment that best fits their individual needs.We discuss:• Why surgery is not always the answer• Non-invasive and minimally invasive approaches to obstructive sleep apnea and breathing problems• Why listening to the patient is essential to finding the right solution• The importance of understanding each patient's struggles, goals, and treatment preferences• Why a patient-centered approach can lead to better care and better outcomes• How putting patients first can also contribute to the long-term success of a healthcare organizationDr. Kandula also shares his perspective on building a different kind of ENT practice—one focused on simplifying the patient journey and offering multiple treatment pathways rather than approaching every problem with the same solution.This conversation goes beyond ENT and sleep apnea. It's about rethinking healthcare around the person who matters most: the patient.

What happens when men's health gets reduced to one testosterone number? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Brandon Smith, MD, a conventionally trained physician practicing at hol+, for a practical and eye-opening conversation about men's health, low testosterone, sleep apnea, TRT, GLP-1s, muscle, stress, hormones, and why so many men are waiting too long to get proactive about their health.Together, they explore why men's health needs a reframe, especially in a medical culture where many men are taught to only go to the doctor when something is clearly broken. Dr. Smith shares what he sees in the exam room, from younger men asking about testosterone before starting a family, to men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s realizing they have spent years pushing through fatigue, stress, brain fog, weight changes, low libido, poor sleep, or changes in performance without knowing where to start.Dr. Taz and Dr. Smith also unpack why low testosterone is not always a simple testosterone problem. Dr. Smith explains the difference between total testosterone and free testosterone, why one lab number is only a snapshot, why testosterone can fluctuate throughout the day, and why morning testing matters. They also discuss why symptoms, context, body composition, sleep, stress, inflammation, chronic illness, and lifestyle all need to be part of the conversation before jumping straight to testosterone therapy.This conversation takes a closer look at one of the most overlooked drivers of low testosterone: sleep apnea. Dr. Smith explains why disrupted sleep can create a stress signal in the body, why men may not realize they are waking up throughout the night, and why the body may lower reproductive hormones when it does not feel safe, rested, or recovered. They also discuss how fasting, chronic stress, high cortisol, poor recovery, and underlying medical conditions can affect hormone levels.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD, an airway and biological dentist specializing in jaw development and non-surgical treatment of sleep and breathing disorders. We cover three audiences I care deeply about: parents of children showing signs of airway dysfunction, women in perimenopause who are exhausted and being missed by standard sleep testing, and adults who have been managing symptoms with a CPAP and want to know if there is a better path. Dr. Fritsch explains how mouth breathing, tongue ties, and underdeveloped palates are silently driving ADHD, anxiety, autoimmune disease, and chronic fatigue. She also shares the recent Harvard research on CPAP risks for low-risk patients that genuinely surprised me and why myofunctional therapy alone can cut apnea in half. I share my own journey and my daughter Elle's experience with palate expansion. This episode is packed with actionable information you will not want to miss. What You Will Learn: Why underdeveloped jaws and mouth breathing are a root cause of ADHD, anxiety, and chronic fatigue in children and adults The specific signs of early airway dysfunction in infants and children — and why acting early changes everything Why women are systematically underdiagnosed with sleep apnea and how perimenopause dramatically increases airway collapse risk How non-surgical palate expansion works for adults — no jaw surgery required Why myofunctional therapy is essential for lasting results and can reduce apnea severity by up to 50% What recent Harvard research reveals about CPAP risks for low-risk patients and what to do instead About Dr. Hilary Fritsch Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD, is an airway and biological dentist with nearly two decades of clinical experience specializing in jaw development, tongue-tied infants, and the non-surgical treatment of sleep and breathing disorders. She is the founder of Saddle Peak Dental and Western Sleep Solutions in Bozeman, Montana, and she trained extensively under Dr. Kevin Golz, a pioneer in adult palate expansion with over 6,000 cases completed.  Resources and People Mentioned: Vivos Palatal Expansion Candid Clear Aligners Smile Shapers American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine Why Biological Dentistry & O& Oral Health Hold the Keys to a Healthier You | Dr. Nunnally & Dr. Freeman Connect with Dr. Myers: Website: https://www.dramymyers.com/ Dr. Myers' Inner Circle: https://www.drmyersinnercircle.com/founding-member Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/pages/newsletter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dramymyers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers Connect with Dr. Hilary Fritsch:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hilaryfritchdmd/ Website: https://saddlepeakdunnell.com/ Timestamps: 00:00 Modern Airway Crisis 00:53 Meet Dr Hilary Fitch 03:07 Host Personal Wake Up 05:54 Fitch Origin Story 08:10 Airway Training Maze 10:28 Newborn Jaw Foundations 11:55 Tongue Ties Explained 13:36 Breastfeeding Diet Habits 15:30 Kids Red Flags Checklist 17:57 Adult Symptoms Risks 22:55 Women Menopause UARS 29:16 Four Pillars Fixing Airway 30:15 Nose Palate Remodeling 30:56 Jaw Expansion TMJ Concerns 31:51 Adult Palate Expansion 32:46 Vivos vs Surgical MARPE 33:48 Tongue Space and Myo Therapy 34:22 Kids Expanders and Tooth Pillow 40:05 Compliance and Pain Fears 45:03 Mouth Tape Guidance 46:45 Adult Aligners and Brands 49:22 CPAP Risks and Biomarkers 56:22 Root Cause Wrap Up

We tend to think of insomnia and sleep apnea as two completely different sleep disorders. One means you can't sleep. The other means you stop breathing. Simple, right? Not so fast. In reality, many people with sleep apnea don't complain about snoring or excessive daytime sleepiness. Instead, they complain that they wake up repeatedly throughout the night and can't stay asleep.

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.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Gene Sambataro, a biological dentist with over 40 years of experience, to explore how oral health is deeply connected to whole-body health. He explains how issues in the mouth—such as microbiome imbalance, mercury fillings, fluoride exposure, and toxic root canals—can contribute to systemic disease and chronic inflammation. The conversation dives into airway-focused dentistry, including narrow jaws, TMJ dysfunction, teeth grinding, Malampati scores, and how these factors relate to sleep-disordered breathing and conditions like sleep apnea. Dr. Sambataro also breaks down modern diagnostic tools like 3D cone beam imaging and sleep studies, along with practical approaches such as oral appliances, breathing techniques, and addressing hypoxia. He closes by emphasizing critical thinking in health care, the importance of restoring proper breathing during sleep, and integrating advanced regenerative and biohacking tools into dentistry for long-term wellness.Dr. Gene Sambataro has been practicing dentistry for over 40 years with a focus on orthodontics, dental orthopedics, TMJ disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, cosmetic/facial aesthetics, toxic-free dentistry, and ceramic implantology. He graduated from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1980, completed a hospital residency in Baltimore, and transitioned into private practice where he quickly adopted a more holistic, integrative approach to dentistry. He is a leading advocate of biological dentistry, emphasizing the connection between oral health and systemic disease and promoting toxin-free approaches such as avoiding mercury amalgams, fluoride, and toxic root canals. He trained with Dr. Hal Huggins early in his career and continues to follow the Huggins Protocol in his clinical practice. His professional affiliations include multiple dental and integrative medicine organizations, along with training in sleep medicine and TMJ therapies, and he is also an author and ongoing student of advanced scientific and regenerative fields. Outside of dentistry, he incorporates biohacking and healing technologies into his practice, has been married for 45 years to his wife Cindy, while also holding advanced martial arts black belts in Taijitsu and Ninjitsu.SHOW NOTES:0:38 Welcome to the show!3:13 About Dr. Sambataro4:02 Welcome him to the podcast!5:28 Does high blood pressure start in the mouth?7:13 Issues with mouthwash9:31 Root causes of a poor microbiome13:47 Specialized medicine & Oral Physicians18:08 How the mouth is a window into the body20:02 Narrow jaw & crowded teeth21:23 Teeth grinding & appliances23:59 Malampati scores24:30 3D Cone Beam 26:30 Solutions for airway issues30:35 Cone Beam 101 & Why you would get one35:47 Sleep studies43:40 Sleep-disordered breathing48:27 Health risks of hypoxia & sleep apnea49:45 What to do with “moderate” issues54:39 Breathing techniques for sleep apnea57:42 Garage analogy59:12 Vitamin O1:00:33 Critical thinking & AI1:05:55 His final piece of advice1:07:32 The Julian Center 1:08:20 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: The Julian CenterIG: @julian_dentistIG: @drgenesambataroFacebook: The Julian CenterBook: Stop the SnoreBook: Your Guide to Holistic Dental ImplantsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this episode, we dive into the essentials of obstructive sleep apnea — from recognizing symptoms you might be overlooking to understanding why CPAP remains the gold standard treatment. Dr. Yishan welcomes back Dr. Carleara Weiss, PhD, MS, RN, a sleep scientist, nurse educator, and Sleep Science Advisor at Aeroflow Sleep. Together, we tackle one of the most common challenges CPAP users face: how to stay consistent with treatment while traveling. We cover airline regulations, packing tips, the difference between CPAP, APAP, and BiPAP machines, and why skipping your CPAP on vacation could actually make your symptoms worse.CPAP Resources Mentioned in Podcasthttps://aeroflowsleep.com/

You've been told to get eight hours of sleep your whole life. Dr. Michael Breus — The Sleep Doctor — says that's not only wrong, it may be making things worse. In this conversation with Dwayne Kerrigan, one of the world's foremost sleep specialists breaks down the science of when to sleep, when to drink caffeine, when to workout, and why most people's sleep problems aren't about how much they sleep — they're about when. In this episode: The four chronotypes — Lion, Bear, Wolf, and Dolphin — and why knowing yours could reduce your total sleep while dramatically improving quality; plus why 55% of the population are Bears, and what that means for your nine-to-five schedule The 90-minute caffeine rule: how adrenaline and cortisol make caffeine useless for the first 90 minutes after waking, and when to stop caffeine entirely to protect your sleep The biology of the 1:00–3:00 AM wake-up: every human on Earth wakes up in this window due to a cortisol spike — and Dr. Breus's four-step protocol for getting back to sleep, including the four-seven-eight breathing technique developed by Dr. Andrew Weil for Navy snipers Why alcohol destroys Stage 3 and 4 deep sleep — the physical restoration stage where the brain's glymphatic system flushes beta amyloid and tau proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease — and the exact wine-with-dinner timing strategy that lets you drink without wrecking your sleep Sleep tracking devices: why none of them are accurate for measuring sleep stages, why rings outperform wristbands, why you should only review your tracker data once a week, and how to use trend analysis rather than nightly numbers Dr. Breus's personal disclosure: he has moderate obstructive sleep apnea and stops breathing 26 times an hour — and why he wants every listener to stop avoiding sleep testing out of fear Discover Your Chronotype - Take The Quiz: https://sleepdoctor.com/pages/dr-breus-podcast-dwayne-kerrigan Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Entrepreneurs Sleep Differently 00:33 - Welcome and Guest Introduction 01:06 - Tony Robbins Connection 03:17 - Meet Dr Michael Breus 05:05 - Middle of Night Awakenings 07:40 - Understanding Chronotypes 11:31 - The Lion Chronotype 12:47 - The Bear Chronotype 13:18 - The Wolf Chronotype 14:23 - The Dolphin Chronotype 18:07 - Bad Sleep Habits 20:39 - Morning Workouts and Cortisol 22:27 - Perfect Time for Sex 25:20 - Understanding Cortisol 26:37 - Why We Wake at 3AM 28:57 - Don't Go Pee 30:52 - Don't Look at the Clock 31:43 - Four Seven Eight Breathing 34:59 - Getting Out of Bed 36:28 - Stay Positive 38:06 - Breathing Technique Recap 38:51 - Breathing Techniques Really Work 42:50 - Alcohol and Sleep Quality 46:47 - Caffeine Timing Guidelines 49:49 - Cannabis and Sleep 51:39 - Understanding Sleep Stages 54:29 - Sleep Cycles Explained 56:11 - Sleep Tracking Devices 01:00:08 - Choosing the Right Tracker 01:04:18 - Heart Rate Variability 01:07:17 - Quality Over Quantity 01:08:46 - Sleep Apnea and Testing 01:12:12 - Finding Your Sleep Need 01:12:36 - Closing Thoughts and Stay Tuned for Part 2 Resources mentioned: Several of Dr. Michael Breus' books – The Power of When, Energize!, The Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan, Good Night, and Sleep, Drink, Breathe Four-seven-eight breathing technique — developed by Dr. Andrew Weil Muse headband — brainwave monitoring headband for sleep and meditation Oura Ring — sleep tracking ring Whoop Strap — activity and sleep tracker Apple Watch — sleep tracking The Happy Ring from Happy Sleep — FDA-approved ring for sleep studies Tony Robbins's book Unleash the Power Within Quotes: “Eight hours is a myth, man. So many people try to force themselves to get... The math doesn't even work. Like, the right number of cycles doesn't even end up at eight hours.” - Dr. Michael Breus “ I really, honestly, legitimately feel like I've dumbed myself down a little bit when it comes to, when it comes to my, like, abuse of sleep over the years.” - Dwayne Kerrigan “To be clear, dude, you are your best doctor. When you wake up in the morning, if you feel good, you feel good. Like, you slept well.” - Dr. Michael Breus “ The first liquid that crosses your lips every morning should not, I repeat, not be caffeinated.” - Dr. Michael Breus “ Stop thinking about hours. This is a quality game, not a quantity game. If you get six and a half hours of good quality sleep- As a sleep doctor, I am much more interested than if you get eight hours of crappy sleep.” - Dr. Michael Breus Dr. Michael Breus, Ph.D., is a double board-certified Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Sleep Specialist, and one of only 168 psychologists in the world to have passed the Sleep Medicine Boards without attending medical school. Known as The Sleep Doctor, he is the founder of sleepdoctor.com, was named the Top Sleep Specialist in California by Reader's Digest, and one of the 10 most influential people in sleep. He is the author of several books including The Power of When and Sleep, Drink, Breathe: Wellness is Too Complicated, and has appeared on Oprah, CNN, The Today Show, and The Dr. Oz Show more than 40 times, and lectures globally for organizations including YPO and Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within.

Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University School of Medicine and an expert on the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and sleep. We discuss how even moderate sleep loss increases appetite, changes hunger-related hormones, and causes weight gain, even when calories are not increased. We also explain how meal timing and specific foods, like fiber, ginger, saturated fat, and various oils, affect sleep onset, sleep quality, and metabolism. Throughout the conversation, we discuss specific foods and diets that directly support weight loss, better sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Hunter McIntyre joins Mark Bell's Power Project for a wild conversation about HYROX, world championship prep, PEDs, overtraining, recovery, human performance, and what it really takes to keep competing at the highest level.Hunter opens up about losing a world title by four seconds, why he's going all-in on strength this year, how he uses HRV and recovery metrics, and why the “grind harder” mentality can destroy athletes. He also talks about PEDs, the Enhanced Games, old-school strongman, marathon performance, micronutrients, sleep, addiction, and the deeper reason he keeps chasing world titles after already winning 10 of them.This one goes way beyond training. It's about obsession, identity, recovery, and the cost of being elite.Follow Hunter McIntyre:Instagram: @huntthesheriffYouTube:  @HunterMcIntyre  0:00 Intro and the Samurai Mindset3:12 The Truth About Synthetic Enhancements7:45 Recovering from a Metabolic Crash12:10 Why Watts are the Ultimate Metric17:05 The Myth of the Skinny Runner21:30 Spotting Charlatans and the Liver King26:15 Peptides and the Future of the Enhanced Games31:00 Genetic Freaks and Samoan Physiology36:40 Women vs. Men in Ultra Endurance41:20 The Secret Science of Super Shoes46:30 Why Modern Strongman is Different51:15 The Lost Era of Raw Training56:30 Micronutrients and the Importance of Potassium1:01:10 Quality Control in Supplements1:05:45 Sleep Apnea and Overtraining1:10:20 Using HRV to Time Your Nuclear Days1:15:30 Minimum Effective Dose for Gains1:20:15 Training with Muscle Oxygen Sensors1:25:00 The Need to be Seen as a Champion1:30:40 Transitioning from Athlete to Businessman1:35:50 High Stakes Games and Eating Bugs1:40:15 Broken Skull Ranch and Stone Cold1:43:27 Final Advice for the Next Generation

In this episode, the guys dive deep into the multifactorial nature of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Moving past outdated single-cause theories like pure toothbrush abrasion or simple nighttime grinding, the discussion shifts toward a comprehensive look at systemic triggers, specifically the massive role of airway issues and sleep apnea. The hosts debate the intersecting impact of clenching, acid erosion, and periodontic biotypes, sharing their practical clinical approaches to desensitizing protocols, the realities of enamel-bevel bonding, and knowing exactly when it's time to skip the composite and upgrade to a crown.

If you thought a rainy Monday would slow this crew down, you've clearly never listened to The Rizzuto Show.The gang kicks off the week talking about storms, gardening wins, and Lauren's surprisingly strategic mosquito-fighting citronella operation. What starts as a wholesome conversation about plants immediately takes a hard left turn into shirtless concertgoers, Busch Stadium tarp-off culture, and one unforgettable performance where audience members decided clothing was entirely optional.Meanwhile, Moon's travel plans hit a snag overseas, but the crew agrees that being stranded in Germany isn't exactly the worst problem a person can have. Eat some bratwurst, grab some schnitzel, and enjoy the delay.The conversation only gets weirder from there.Rizz shares stories from a packed Primus concert full of forty-somethings reliving their glory days, psychedelic mishaps, and enough progressive rock to make your brain do cartwheels. Lauren recaps her weekend performing in Illinois while discovering that Stairway to Heaven apparently inspires men to remove their shirts in large numbers.Then comes one of the biggest revelations of the episode: Rizz officially gets the results of his sleep study. The diagnosis? Moderate sleep apnea. The reactions? Exactly what you'd expect from this crew. CPAP jokes, oral appliance confusion, Bane impressions, and a surprising amount of enthusiasm from listeners who have somehow turned sleep disorders into a lifestyle community.The gang also dives into youth sports after Rizz's son competes in a jiu-jitsu tournament featuring revenge matches, international competitors, and enough chokeholds to humble an entire family. Along the way they discuss sportsmanship, parenting, and why combat sports parents seem significantly calmer than hockey parents.As the daily comedy show rolls on, the crew tackles travel regrets, revealing the destinations Americans wish they had skipped. Vegas tops the list, proving that losing your savings, your dignity, and possibly your marriage all in one weekend may not be the vacation package people hoped for.You'll also get:Denver Airport conspiracy theoriesSmoking statistics and nostalgiaAmsterdam travel storiesFood poisoning warnings for barbecue seasonSmall-town fight-night memoriesWhy old cigarette ads were somehow even crazier than you rememberLike every great daily comedy show, this episode somehow manages to combine practical health advice, bizarre travel stories, accidental life lessons, and absolute nonsense into one glorious Monday morning ride.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with laughs, random tangents, listener stories, and the kind of conversations that only make sense before 10am, you've found your people.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When looking into tethered oral tissues, it is easy to focus entirely on visual structural appearance. However, judging a restriction by looks alone frequently misses the true clinical picture. Real progress happens when healthcare providers shift the diagnostic paradigm away from what a tie looks like and focus entirely on how it affects dynamic function over a patient's lifespan.In this episode, Hallie sits down with Dr. Richard Baxter, DMD, MS, FAAPD, a board-certified pediatric dentist, founder of the Alabama Tongue-Tie Center, and lead author of the bestselling book Tongue-Tied. Dr. Baxter shares his personal and professional insights into the complexities of identifying oral restrictions, moving past basic anatomical definitions to explore how a tiny string under the tongue can alter systemic, long-term health.About the Guest: Dr. Richard BaxterDr. Richard Baxter is a board-certified pediatric dentist, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), a Diplomate of the American Board of Laser Surgery, and the founder of the Alabama Tongue-Tie Center. As an internationally recognized speaker and creator of the Tongue-Tied Academy, he has dedicated his career to educating healthcare providers and parents on the structural and functional impacts of oral restrictions. Having experienced a tongue-tie himself and treated his three daughters as infants, his dedication to the field is deeply personal. He resides in Birmingham, Alabama, with his family.Key Topics & TakeawaysSymptoms Over Appearance: Why a visual exam never tells the full story and why diagnostic protocols must prioritize symptom functional profiles over pure aesthetics.Groundbreaking Research in Complex Profiles: Dr. Baxter shares fascinating insights from recent research surrounding oral restrictions and their structural correlations to cerebral palsy.Buccal and Lip Ties Exploded: Clarifying the distinct functional impacts of cheek and lip restrictions, and how they play a role in infant feeding dynamics.The Interdisciplinary Standard: Best practices for post-operative care, follow-up timelines, and maintaining clear, collaborative communication lines across the therapy team.Soundbites"Common does not mean normal."
