Episode Details

Beverly Meyer is not your typical nutritionist. She's a certified clinical nutritionist and functional health practitioner who's been in the health game since the 1970s. Her whole approach is built around getting to root causes instead of slapping a Band-Aid on symptoms, and she's been preaching blackout bedrooms and mouth taping for 20+ years before it was trendy.

We started with sleep apnea because Beverly has it herself, and she's become somewhat of an expert on living with it. The stats are wild: sleep apnea is the number one undiagnosed medical disorder in the United States. One in five adults have it and don't know it. The scary part? You can be a thin, non-snoring person like Beverly and still stop breathing 50 to 100 times a night. Your blood oxygen levels can drop into the 70s, which is absolutely not okay.
