Dr. Dylan Petkus is on a mission to help educate and empower those with sleep apnea and other sleep issues to live fuller, healthier lives. Dr. Petkus knows firsthand the frustration of CPAPs and the daily struggles of brain fog, exhaustion, and the range of issues related to sleep apnea. Motivated by his struggles with sleep apnea, Dr. Petkus embarked on a multi-year-long research journey to uncover a different way to address sleep apnea.

Dr. Petkus' innovative approach to sleep apnea is simple and effective. He discovered that snoring and sleep apnea can be addressed by simply restoring the body's natural breathing pattern. Now, he is eager to share this approach with the millions struggling with sleep apnea, snoring, and poor sleep. This way, people can wake up refreshed without relying on a CPAP, mouthguards, or invasive surgical proceduresb

Dr. Petkus earned his Master of Science in Physiology at Pennsylvania State University, where he was awarded a research fellowship and was a peer-reviewed and published author.  He earned his Master’s in Public Health and Medical Degree from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.  Thereafter, he attended a residency in Family Medicine to help patients on the front line of chronic disease.  Now, he helps people worldwide through education and coaching to overcome sleep apnea. Additionally, he hosts his own YouTube channel on everything related to sleep apnea and sleep. He currently lives in Tallahassee, Florida.
