Episode 53: The Surprising Consequences of Sleep Issues in Adults & Children with Dr. Dassani

What this episode covers

My friends, there are SO many golden nuggets in this episode! Dr. Dassani has practiced dentistry for over 20 years and is SO passionate about helping people identify and treat adult and pediatric sleep apnea in her practice. She dives into what is actually happening while we sleep, how the obstruction of our airways (ie. snoring, gasping for air, etc.) impacts our entire lives, and why children are extremely vulnerable to these issues. The most surprising things she shares are the unexpected consequences of interrupted or low-quality sleep. More and more children are being diagnosed with sleep issues and as a mother, helping my children get enough sleep is one of my top priorities... especially after this conversation! Dr. Dassani also dives into how much sleep we need and simple things we can do to help prepare the body to get the rest it needs! SO much good stuff in here! I hope you love it as much as I did!
