Happy February! Just in time for Valentine’s Day, I’m kicking off a short episode series on better sleep for couples with an episode on snoring. If a partner’s snoring is stealing your sleep, you’re not alone. Snoring is highly common—about half of adults snore—and highly treatable. My guest is Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, sleep and integrative medicine expert who specializes in curing the root causes of fatigue. We discuss the everything from a $1 snoring solution to anti-snoring mouthguards to surgery, a new FDA-approved device to look for, and why your partner's diet might be contributing to the problem. 

BIO: Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., is one of the most frequently quoted integrative medical authorities in the world. He is the author of the best-selling book From Fatigued to Fantastic! and appears often as a guest on news and talk shows nationwide including Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, and CNN.
