Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast!
This podcast is fantastic. Dr Meghna Dasani really knows her stuff. Ive benefitted so much from her practical tips - especially when getting my kid diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. As a parent of two kids, I have struggled with not sleeping as well as I did before having kids and thanks to Dr Dasani- I’ve been able to put in place several things that are helping me to get more rest!!
Amazing
I highly recommend this podcast! Super informative and need to be shared with every person. Sleep is crucial!
Life changing information!!
Thanks so much for sharing this information via a podcast! This information is changing family’s lives! I am a Registered Dental Hygienist going through the journey of helping my children (and myself) breathe better, sleep better and live better. Dentistry is ahead of medicine in this realm. I especially enjoyed your interview with your friend and colleague and look forward to sharing it. I too was unable to accept medicating my child in hopes of finding the real root cause. We are on our way, albeit a long journey, to improving behavior and preventing sleep apnea in my children’s future. Thank you!!
