Know Sleep Apnea Dangers, Risk Factors

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.


Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night's sleep, you might have sleep apnea.

Anything that could narrow your airway such as obesity, large tonsils, or changes in your hormone levels can increase your risk for obstructive sleep apnea.

Special: Why Those Over 50 Should Take Sleep Issues Seriously

It’s dangerous because it can cause several different complications, many of which are severe or life-threatening. These include heart damage and heart failure. Sleep apnea causes an increase in pressure in the blood vessels around your heart and on some of the chambers of your heart itself.

The following are the risk factors for sleep apnea:

  • Being male. Most sleep apnea victims are men, although women can develop it, usually if they are overweight or post-menopausal
  • Family history of sleep apnea
  • Smoking
  • Obesity
  • Thick neck circumference
  • A narrowed airway, either from a naturally thin neck, or enlarged tonsils or adenoids
  • Being over the age of 60, though people of any age can develop it, even children
  • Allergies or other breathing problems
If you suspect you have sleep apnea, you should be evaluated at a sleep disorder clinic with a well-trained and certified staff.

Strange Pain Docuseries | July 17 - 23, 2023
From back and neck problems to migraines and arthritis, chronic pain is one of the most debilitating and frustrating conditions, affecting millions of people every day. When you consider this, it is not surprising that so many Americans are addicted to prescription and over-the-counter painkillers.
Learn about natural pain-relieving methods and uncover the underlying causes of your pain with the Strange Pain Docuseries, a documentary-style event featuring the country’s top leading pain experts.
You can hear my interview with host Scott Rewick — with “Inflammation: The Origin of Pain” — on Episode #1 of the docuseries. I discuss how inflammation is the universal driver of diseases, but it is not actually the root cause. The real trigger is your body’s survival drive. That means, what drives humans to survive is what can also cause inflammation, pain, and other health conditions.
You'll discover how to reduce inflammatory signals at the source using Modified Citrus Pectin and other therapies, so your body starts working for you rather than against you to deliver life-changing results.

Hi Jimi,
Studies tell us that eating certain foods and herbs can bring down chronic inflammation and help you steer clear of pain, Alzheimer’s, cancer, arthritis, heart disease, and other diseases in the process.
>> Here are 25 top foods that you should know about.
As you likely know, many, if not most, people today suffer chronic inflammation, and this is helping fuel nearly every major disease of our time.
The great news is that nature provides us with some delicious foods and herbs that are potent at combating chronic inflammation. And it certainly pays for you to be aware of them! That’s why my friend, natural health researcher and advocate Brian Vaszily, created a potent report that tells you about 25 inflammation-fighting foods that you’ll want to start eating right away.
In this powerful report, you’ll find out about:
→ The widely loved food that ranks among the top-of-the-top for its anti-inflammatory power (and it even blows blueberries, raspberries, and goji berries away with its antioxidant content).
→ The herb cherished in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years that modern science confirms may combat inflammation down at the cellular level — and may even protect your organs and tissues from heavy metals and other toxins.
→ A much-loved tropical fruit many are surprised to learn is a powerful anti-inflammatory, in large part because of the unique enzymes it provides you.
→ The uniquely delicious food that deserves even MORE attention because of how it fights chronic inflammation in several different ways. (Note, though, that how you eat it makes a world of difference, as you’ll see.)
→ And much more.
With this report, you’ll also get free registration for The Age-Defying Secrets Summit. For this summit, Brian Vaszily is interviewing 21 of today’s most esteemed healthy aging and longevity doctors and researchers (from a range of backgrounds) — including yours truly. Brian’s asking each of us to share the top health secrets that almost nobody knows about — that are most critical to living long and living well.
>> Get it all right here.
Yours for knowledge and health,
Ocean Robbins
P.S. On the page right after the free and easy sign-up, be sure to find out what research showed was the “world’s funniest joke” — and why it has everything to do with your health and longevity.
P.P.S. The antioxidant powerhouse is cacao. The herb cherished in Ayurvedic medicine is Tulsi (aka Holy Basil). The much-loved tropical fruit is pineapple. The uniquely delicious food that is most helpful when eaten in the right way is garlic. Find out all about these, and many more that I’m sure will surprise you, right here.

Once an addict, always an addict. So the old saying goes. The Susceptibility Quiz asks you to answer based on your worst eating behaviors—so that you know how to treat your food addiction at its worst. But does that mean once a 10++, always a 10++?

You Cannot Break Us

+ “We Are Warriors” Anthem for a Better Way​

“The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.”
—John F. Kennedy
This Independence Day, let us celebrate the indomitable nature of truth, the infectious spirit of freedom, and the resilience that empowers us to triumph over adversity.
You do not need to be American to treasure these values. Liberty is the birthright of every human being, and when we link arms across the oceans to defend this inalienable right, we foil the attempts of the tyrants to enslave us.
In that vein, it is my privilege to share the breathtaking song We Are Warriors American Kurt Shore composed for the World Council for Health’s 2023 Better Way Conference as exuberantly sung by South African Zolani Mahola, The One Who Sings.
Dr. Tess Lawrie writes of this gift:
“I believe this anthem has the power to move millions, join hearts, and inspire truth. Kurt is a brilliant warrior songwriter who has used his talents to give the world something truly special. We are all so blessed to have received this gift.”

A Better Way to Health with Dr Tess Lawrie
We have been gifted an EPIC Warrior Anthem for Better Way Conference 2023
Where I work at the World Council for Health there is no scarcity of creativity – to the contrary, creativity is in abundance and flows in to us from all corners of the world. It never ceases to amaze me how much the simple act of standing up for the truth has the power to achieve great things…

Many of us who have devoted our lives to exposing corruption, revealing uncomfortable truths, resisting tyranny, and stopping democide have come under a multifrontal attack from every conceivable angle. Instead of allowing these ambushes to demoralize us as intended, we can perform an aikido maneuver by shifting our perspective to view them as hard-won medals of our efficacy.
The following poem is dedicated to all the truth-tellers besieged by lie-tellers, abusers, bullies, dividers, and defeatists.
Whenever you’re feeling deflated, discouraged, or beaten down, listen to We Are Warriors and read this poem. And keep this post on hand to share with anyone who tries to break you.

This recipe comes straight out of our buddy Brian Vaszily’s new collection, 30 Top Easy & Delicious Superfood Plant-Based Recipes!
(F-REeee to our VegHealth family)

Salted Vanilla Maple Blondies (GF)​

image
MAKES 12 BARS
PREP TIME:
15 minutes
COOK TIME: 35 minutes
Ingredients
  • 11⁄2 cups oat flour (certified gluten-free if necessary)
  • 1⁄4 cup sweet white rice flour
  • 1⁄4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca powder
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 cup cashew butter
  • 1⁄2 cup maple syrup
  • 1⁄2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Scrapings from inside 1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon vanilla powder)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Flaked sea salt
  • Optional: 1⁄2 cup vegan chocolate chips (see Variation below)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 × 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Let some hang over the edges, to make it easy to remove the blondies from the pan.
  2. Whisk together the oat flour, rice flour, coconut sugar, tapioca powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Use a hand mixer to mix together the cashew butter, maple syrup, applesauce, and coconut oil in a large bowl. Stir in the vinegar, vanilla bean scrapings, and vanilla extract. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and lightly sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
  5. Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift the blondie out of the baking dish. Slice into 12 pieces. You can store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature, but they’ll hold their moisture longer when refrigerated. They’ll keep for 3 to 4 days.
VARIATION
I’m sure I don’t need to tell all you crazy chocoholics out there that these blondies are just begging for chocolate chips. Fold 1⁄2 cup vegan chocolate chips into the batter before transferring to the baking dish.

This might be the weed you need most...
Hello!

Ever noticed how common, everyday things often hold the most intriguing secrets?

Take dandelions, for instance.

You see them everywhere, those bright yellow blooms sprouting from sidewalk cracks and open meadows. They might seem like little more than a nuisance, but there's more to dandelions than you might think.

Behind the guise of a "pesky" weed is an impressive herb, brimming with health-supporting potential, largely untapped and overlooked. We love dandelion so much that we made it part of the LearningHerbs logo!

Offering loads of essential nutrients and natural support to our vital bodily systems, the misunderstood dandelion is quite the unsung hero in the plant world.

Today, Tara Ruth has dug into the fascinating world of dandelion in the latest episode of Herb Notes.



Each plant has a story to tell. And sometimes, the best stories are right under our feet.

Enjoy Tara's mesmerizing 3 minute video about my favorite medicinal herb of all time.

Here's to your herbal discoveries this summer!

🔥 This week's Reclamation Radio podcast with my friend Akasha gets right to the heart of the art of embodiment! 🔥
It's my passionate belief that coming home to your body is the single most disruptive thing you can do in order to reclaim your freedom from all that's misaligned in our current human experience.

Which is why after a body, mind, and spirit altering workshop led by my friend Akasha Shakira Devi, I told her →
"Woman, we've got to get you on the podcast!"
Together we really dig into what feels like the most important organizing element of her mastery and expertise (which ranges from kundalini to sufism to gong to sound):
The art of embodiment.
My goal was to help take the concept of embodiment, which can sometimes feel very theoretical, right into the practical, so you can create raw, real, and lived experiences of embodiment.
🔊 That's right, lovely human – Akasha and I bring it home to the body on this week's Reclamation Radio, and you've got to give it a listen! 🔊

So many people think embodiment means "feeling good in your body." But that's just a sliver of what we're talking about.
Akasha and I vibe because we're both interested in the darkness and the light. I’ve got a sneaky suspicion that you are too, lovely human 😘
Listen in to come shadow hunting with us!
Xo,
Kelly

P.S. 🌟What does “emotional alchemy” even mean?! 🤷‍♀️
When we feel emotions that we think we aren't allowed to feel — they’re bad, they’re big, they’re shamefully uncomfortable — we immediately try to push them away.
But when you don’t allow yourself to actually feel and experience your emotions, you end up suppressed and repressed.
Emotional alchemy is how you learn to FEEL the emotions in your physical body. So you can move through them and get to a place of authentic gratitude to the source of the emotions for introducing you to a formerly hidden dimension of Your Self. 💃
This is how you transform your struggles into freedom and reclaim your Self.
Tune into the latest 🎙️Reclamation Radio episode with my guest, Akasha, as we tap into Emotional Alchemy and heal the disconnection between our bodies and our feelings.

But here's the reality: shedding those extra pounds doesn't have to be complicated. By embracing a few key principles, we can transform our bodies, melting away fat and sculpting lean muscle.
Why is sustainable weight loss such a challenging goal despite it being such a common pursuit. Could it be due to the overconsumption of hyperpalatable foods, inadequate protein intake, underestimating calorie intake, or simply neglecting calorie awareness altogether? Today’s episode has the answers you've been looking for.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Max Lugavere to discuss all things weight loss and what Max did to lose 10 lbs of fat in just two months while continuing to build lean muscle. Dhru and Max talk about prioritizing protein at every meal, especially breakfast and how overeating ultra-processed foods (even “healthy” junk foods) can easily lead to weight gain.
They also discuss the importance of emphasizing leaner cuts of animal protein, the importance of fiber, satiety-per-calorie, cooking at home, and how to honor your weight loss goals even when you’re on the road with few options.​
Max Lugavere is a health and science journalist and author of the New York Times best-seller Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life, which is published in 10 languages, and The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary.
Max is the host of the one of the top health and wellness podcasts on iTunes, The Genius Life and appears regularly on the Dr. Oz Show, the Rachael Ray Show, and The Doctors. He has contributed to Medscape, Vice, Fast Company, CNN, and the Daily Beast and has been featured on NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, The New York Times, and People Magazine.

  • The value of the food matrix in weight loss (1:16:12)
  • Max’s views on society’s narrative around obesity and weight loss (1:21:15

Hello Jimi,

A COVID infection can come and go, but it may leave behind an inflammatory process that alters your immune system and allows previously dormant infections to reactivate.

The now reactivated infections may reproduce, or sometimes they wake up just enough to make some of their proteins. Either way, they stimulate your immune system to make antibodies and inflammatory chemicals called cytokines. This smoldering inflammatory process contributes to Hashimoto’s, thyroiditis, or other autoimmune conditions depending on the reactivated infection and your genetic make-up.

Some infections can have proteins similar in structure to parts of the thyroid gland. This is called molecular mimicry. So, as the immune system starts to attack the infection, it attacks the thyroid gland as well.

There are multiple infections that have protein sequences similar to the thyroid gland. Lyme disease and H. pylori are two common chronic infections capable of producing this type of cross reactivity.
Inflammation in the thyroid can also start when there is persistent inflammation in the body. It could be produced by the failure of the immune system to quiet down the inflammatory response to the myriad bugs that live with us, or to increased toxic loads, or increased inflammation from a leaky gut, parasites, sinus, or dental infections.

COVID also can allow reactivation of EBV and other herpes viruses that can keep your immune system agitated and unable to fully return to its normal state.​

This inappropriately heightened state of immune alertness in Hashimoto’s is actually an edgy immune system misunderstanding the normal oxidative stress that a hard working thyroid gland produces. This is a process that needs immune intervention in order to prevent or halt subsequent damage to the gland by the production of the antibodies that produce autoimmune thyroid disease.

I discuss these triggers and how I help prevent this from occurring in my interview with Dr. Jen Pfleghaar titled Thyroid, Autoimmunity, & COVID: Exploring The Link. From July 18-24 you can watch the Heal Your Thyroid & Reverse Hashimoto's Summit with these topics and more.

Our discussion aims to help people:
  • Understand if and how thyroid disease can be a comorbidity for Long Haul COVID potentially influencing disease severity and outcomes
  • Gain awareness of the vital role of thyroid health in the broader context of post-infectious illness

I’ll also share stories of patients coming in with Long COVID and the multitude of other issues we found to be at the root of their symptoms.
