Dylan Petkus, MD, MPH, MS

Dylan Petkus, author of the #1 Amazon Best Seller Sleep Apnea Solution, is on a mission to educate people about alternatives for sleep apnea so they are not limited by their condition or trapped by options that don’t provide full resolution.

He earned his Master’s of Science in Physiology at Pennsylvania State University where he was awarded a research fellowship and was a peer-reviewed published author.

He went on to earn both his Master’s in Public Health and Medical Degree from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. While he has an MD, he is not licensed by choice to put the power of health back in your hands with high-quality health education.

He knows the frustration of CPAPs and pushing through every single day with exhaustion, brain fog, and other issues that come along with it. Through his own research, he found a way to beat his own sleep apnea naturally by restoring natural breathing.

Frustrated by limited options for sleep apnea, he strives to help educate and empower those with sleep apnea and other issues to live fuller, healthier lives.
