Sleep apnea is snoring and associated pausing of breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is diagnosed when breathing stops for a certain amount of time and oxygen levels drop.

Symptoms include daytime tiredness, dry mouth, low energy, and insomnia.  

Today nearly 1 billion people suffer from sleep apnea.

Long term complications of sleep apnea include heart disease, metabolic dysfunction, and Alzheimer's disease.

Solutions for snoring are difficult as breathing is a learned behavior, however structural jaw problems like a narrow dental arch can increase risk.

A narrow palate or upper jaw is a risk factor for snoring and sleep apnea.

My guest this week is Professpr Dave Singh, founder of Vivos. Prof Singh has been researched adult palate expansion to shift craniofacial epigenetics for positive impact on the airway and sleep apnea. Vivos has a range of devices FDA cleared to help treat sleep apnea and OSA.
