Manage episode 418700434 series 2999454
Dive headfirst into a health revolution that prioritises prevention, with our latest episode where Chef Michael and I, Dr. Isabel MD, explore the under recognised connection between obstructive sleep apnea and brain health.
We're peeling back the layers on why this sleep disorder shouldn't just be a footnote in your health narrative, but rather a pivotal chapter you attend to with urgency. It's a call to arms—or should we say, a call to breath—for those unaware of the silent threat lurking in their sleep.
As we navigate the nuances of nasal breathing and mouth taping, we're arming you with not just knowledge but practical steps to transform your nightly slumber into a fortress for your mental well-being.
From the potentially life-changing Stop Bang questionnaire to the nitty-gritty on CPAP machines and mouthguards, we're spotlighting strategies that can halt sleep apnea's stealthy encroachment on your brain's territory.
Tune in for a heart-to-heart on the small, patient steps you can take toward safeguarding your cognitive future and boosting your overall health—one restful breath at a time.
