How do your sleep patterns influence not just your weight but your overall health as well? Dr. Audrey Wells is an authority on the convergence of sleep and obesity medicine. The founder of Super Sleep MD, she explains how sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea lead to excess weight. 

She also explains the systemic obstacles within the healthcare domain that hamper the delivery of effective care for sleep troubles. 

Have you ever considered that the timing of your meals could be as critical as their nutritional content for your sleep and metabolic health? In our dialogue with Dr. Wells, we explore the significance of the superchiasmatic nucleus—the brain's central clock—in orchestrating our daily rhythms of eating and sleep. 

Learn why an alignment with daylight hours can help fend off hormonal imbalances and cognitive decline. Plus, discover a range of treatments for sleep apnea that go beyond the familiar CPAP. 

From GLP-1 medications aiding in weight loss to innovative hypoglossal nerve stimulation, we examine how tailored therapies can provide effective solutions to these complex health challenges. 

If you're seeking to improve your mood, manage hunger, or safeguard your long-term health against cardiovascular issues and dementia, this conversation is an essential listen.
