16 Mar 2010Quit Struggle-Free with George Wissing 00:50:29

According to recent statistics from the American Lung Association, smoking is the number one source for preventable deaths and premature mortality than any other drug or substance. Yet, despite these grim statistics, smoking is still a huge  problem for many people. The problem is that the willpower in overcoming this addiction seems powerless. But according to George Wissing, the author of Stop Smoking For the Last Time: You Can Unlock the Power to Quit Struggle-Free, your willpower has nothing to do with it. With hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming, Mr. Wissing has helped countless smokers quit in about an hour. The following conversation that I had with George Wissing could provide some fascinating insight on how you can gain power to break your smoking habit for good this year. http://www.quitstrugglefree.com.

In this episode, Kathy and I will talk about a disaster more urgent than global warming. It’s not going to happen in the next few decades or hundreds of years. It’s happening now: Due to modern Western diets and other various lifestyles and habits, our facial bones (and airways) are shrinking. 

In this captivating discussion, I will reveal:

  • What’s causing our faces to shrink
  • Why it’s worse for our children
  • The consequences of smaller faces and airways
  • How crooked teeth may be the first sign of shrinking faces
  • What we can do to prevent it
  • And what we can do to reverse the consequences.

If you tuned in to our last episode,  I talked about the 7 reasons why oral appliances may be a good option for those of you with obstructive sleep apnea, and in today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the 8 reason why you may not want to consider oral appliances for sleep apnea.

  4. It can be lost or damaged

  5. If you have severe sleep apnea

  6. If you're severely overweight

  8. Sometimes, the tongue may not move forward with jaw movement.

Plus two more bonus reasons.

You’re excited that you were finally diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. This could explain your years of chronic fatigue, weight gain and headaches. You start using your new CPAP machine at home with some degree of anticipation as well as a bit of trepidation. The first few days are a bit challenging but you decide to keep trying.

In this podcast epode, Kathy and I give 5 reasons why regardless of which sleep apnea treatment you start with, you should not give up.

28 Nov 20167 Unusual Signs & Symptoms of Sleep Apnea00:34:01

If you don't fit the typical profile of someone with obstructive sleep apnea (MOOSE: male, older, overweight,  snoring, excessive sleepiness), most doctors won't ever think that you may have obstructive sleep apnea. I see dozens of of patients every month who are told they don't have sleep apnea but were found to have moderate to severe sleep apnea after undergoing sleep studies. So if you're not a MOOSE, what are some other ways to tell if you may have sleep apnea?

In this podcast episode, Kathy and I discuss 7 Unusual Signs & Symptoms of Sleep Apnea. 

  1. Tongue Scalloping
  2. Nocturia (nighttime urination)
  3. Headaches
  4. ADHD
  5. PTSD
