The Alzheimer’s + Sleep Apnea Puzzle. Are you waking up tired? Is high blood pressure a constant battle? These could be critical clues. Join us as we uncover a silent threat: sleep apnea. This isn't just about snoring. In fact, sleep apnea can cause or worsen over 40 chronic diseases.

During this episode, you’ll discover its profound impact. We discuss its direct links to cognitive conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Furthermore, we explore how it exacerbates diabetes. Additionally, we touch on its significant role in chronic inflammatory diseases such as Lupus and Fibromyalgia. The list is truly extensive.

For too long, the vital connection between sleep, breathing, and overall health has been overlooked. However, for those caring for someone with dementia, or striving to protect their own brain, this is crucial. You'll learn about innovative, non-invasive solutions available today. These offer better options than you might know. Ultimately, this episode offers profound insights. It can change how you approach health for yourself and those you care for. Tune in to safeguard your brain and overall well-being.

Meet Kirk Huntsman, Chairman and CEO of Vivos Life – a true pioneer in dental and sleep health. Kirk's extensive background includes building Dental One into a leading national dental organization and founding other successful ventures like Xenith Practices. With a deep understanding of oral appliances and their impact on breathing, he's now dedicated to tackling the widespread issue of sleep apnea. As co-founder and driving force behind Vivos Life, Kirk is committed to providing revolutionary, non-invasive solutions to improve countless lives.
