Drawing on SURMOUNT-OSA trial data, the episode examines emerging evidence that these GLP-1 drugs may combat sleep apnea through multiple pathways: reducing airway inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, and potentially influencing brain receptors that regulate breathing and sleep patterns during rest.
