In this episode, we get to the core of sleep apnea at a cellular level! SUMMARY WITH TIMESTAMPS 02:19 - Learn how your airways collapse and block breathing in obstructive sleep apnea. 02:55 - Find out about conventional treatments like CPAP that open up your airways. 04:13 - Raise the key question of why your airways collapse in the first place. 04:42 - See that inflammation is higher in the airway tissues of sleep apnea patients like you. 05:18 - Discover your melatonin levels are lower in these tissues. 06:26 - Learn melatonin is produced in your mitochondria 06:35 - Understand how your mitochondria handle oxygen to produce energy 08:44 - Reveal how you likely have problems utilizing oxygen if you have sleep apnea. 10:09 - Discover how sleep apnea may protect against your poor mitochondrial function. 13:12 - Attribute reduced CO2 from your mitochondria to decreased drive to breathe. 14:04 - See how mitochondrial problems lead to more inflammation and less melatonin. 15:04 - Disocver how boosting mitochondria can increase airway size and airflow. 16:08 - Note more CO2 spurs breathing and hypoglossal nerve activity. 17:20 - See how the problem is 80% mitochondrial, 20% anatomical airway factors. 19:02 - Preview next video detailing mitochondrial treatments.
