In this episode, we reveal how sleep apnea really develops!
Here are the questions you can finally answer:
- Why did this happen to you?
- Is your weight to blame?
- Is your anatomy to blame?
- Are your throat muscles to blame?
- What is really at the core of sleep apnea?
- What are the 4 steps that led to your sleep apnea?
