“I mean, the last thing I want to do is surgery for sleep apnea when that's not the main thing that might be causing it. It might be a red herring, and that's part of why being board certified in sleep medicine is helpful to have enough knowledge not to be dangerous. Just enough knowledge to identify these things. Certainly that we can work on them before thinking about procedures or if we're going to go down that path.” – Dr. Eric Kezirian

In today’s episode, Dr. Shah and Dr. Eric Kezirian share a life-changing talk about one of the most underrated subjects surrounding health – sleep.

We spend ample time and energy looking into diet and exercise, but this third pillar – sleep – is critical to our overall health. A recent Forbes article suggested that 40% of Americans are sleeping less than 6 hours a night, and even children are now more sleep-deprived than ever. There has even been a movement suggesting that people can thrive on less than 5 hours of sleep nightly, but is this really true?

Dr. Kezirian, a certified Otolaryngologist (nose and throat doctor), debunks some myths about sleep, reveals the real causes of sleep apnea, and how to optimize your sleep for greater health and peak performance.

Drs. Kezirian and Shah uncover how – without adequate sleep, your entire body stops working as it should. Hormones that control detoxification of the brain and bodily tissues, regulate energy levels, your metabolism, and even hunger signals are all thrown out of whack. Sleep affects our mood, job performance, and athletic ability.

If you’re looking for a possible culprit that may be contributing to you being overweight, listless, lacking energy, feeling apathetic or unmotivated, or you simply lack a zest for life, it is possible that you aren’t getting the quality sleep your body and mind so desperately need.
