Dr. Dylan Petkus shares his revolutionary approach to overcoming sleep apnea naturally through breathing pattern correction, myofunctional exercises, and lifestyle changes. He explains how his personal struggle with sleep apnea led him to develop a science-backed method that addresses the root causes rather than relying on CPAP machines or surgery.
• Sleep apnea affects approximately 10% of the population and can reduce lifespan by 10-25 years
• Contrary to common belief, sleep apnea affects many people who aren't overweight
• Only 30% of people prescribed CPAP machines continue using them long-term
• Sleep apnea often begins with hyperventilation, which creates negative pressure that collapses the airway
• Simple breathing exercises focusing on slow exhalation can significantly improve sleep quality
• The "relaxed pause" breath-holding test can help identify and track improvement in sleep apnea
• Myofunctional exercises (tongue and oral muscle training) comprise about 20% of the solution
• Improving mitochondrial health through nutrition and lifestyle accounts for the remaining 40%
• Mouth taping addresses a symptom rather than the root cause of breathing dysfunction
• Free resources for sleep apnea sufferers are available at apneareset.com
