Sleep Apnoea: The ’Not so Silent’ Silent Killer- Dr Bijoy John

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare recently published a report which shows that nearly half of Australian adults commonly report at least two sleep-related problems. Getting too much or too little sleep is associated with an increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and stroke. The trend is on the rise due to increasing life stresses causing magnesium deficiency and premature ageing, and there are nearly twice as many men than women who suffer from sleep disorders. Sleep-related breathing disorders restrict oxygen in the body and this hypoxia can become very serious. In Australia Medicare subsidises sleep studies and treatments, so you can enquire with your GP for a referral. My special guest today is Dr Bijoy John, a US board-certified sleep specialist in Pulmonary, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine. He is also known as ‘Dr. SLEEP FIX’ with over 25 years of experience in the field of sleep medicine.  He has just published his book called NOBODY'S SLEEPING and has a successful program of ‘The 7 proven sleep strategies’ in his SLEEP NOW course. www.sleepwellnessinfo.com www.sleepfixacademy.com www.sleepnowacademy.com
