If you’re new here (or just scrolling for fun), hi I’m Dylan Petkus. I’ve got a few fancy degrees (MD, MPH, MS), worked clinically (don’t practice anymore—by choice), and, most importantly, I reversed my own sleep apnea. Legally speaking: this is my personal experience (and

Harvard scientists uncovered something most people with sleep apnea never hear about. Sleep apnea doesn’t just block your airway. It creates nerve damage that spreads through your body long before you ever get diagnosed. If you have apnea, this matters because you need to stop

A NASA sleep scientist made a shocking discovery: astronauts in microgravity almost stop snoring and their sleep apnea drops dramatically. (Luckily, you don’t need to be in space to use physics to improve your sleep as soon as tonight.) 🚀 The paper Microgravity Reduces

Top Polish sleep researchers found that sleep apnea causes DNA changes that are seen in night-shift workers. (And that's why your weight and hormones won't behave—but the good news is, you can reverse the damage if you take the right steps.) Researchers at the Medical University

Physics just confirmed how this ancient Egyptian sleep-apnea bed hack can help you breathe better at night, sleep deeper, and wake up refreshed. And I’ll show you exactly what to do for free (it’s super duper easy). Get ready for mind-blowing physics all about incline bed

Your doctor should have told you this: sleep apnea often starts with what happens in your legs during the day. The collapse happens at night, but the setup begins hours earlier. And this is a real physiological process, not theory. It is called the rostral fluid shift. A

In case anyone was wondering what it's like to commute in Switzerland, this is a great representation.

Sleep apnea almost stole grandpa. Not just his blood pressure or heart issues… … but more importantly his presence. For years, James watched his grandkids grow up through half-open eyes. (What he discovered next didn’t just fix his sleep, it gave him back time.) James

Good morning to the people who check their phone first thing in the morning. You've side-stepped the propaganda from BIG circadian rhythm.

The craziest part about health insurance are actuaries. If you didn't know, these are really smart people who: 1/ Analyze, model, and forecast every risk 2/ Determine how to set costs 3/ MAXIMIZE profit. They could just as easily change step 3 to a "fair profit that doesn't

Harvard and Shaquille O’Neal accidentally exposed a massive blindspot in sleep apnea treatment… and almost nobody caught it. It could have saved Shaq years of frustration. Once you hear this, it might save you years of waking up groggy and get back to waking up refreshed As

The most underrated fix for sleep apnea? It’s not a gadget. It’s not a mask. It’s something completely free: **how you breathe** What kind of breathing exercises are you doing? Or, maybe none at all? Either way let me know and I'll help you out with your routine

The biggest lie you've been told about sleep apnea: It's just a mechanical problem with your airway. What do you think what's really going on? Let me know below and I'll give you some insights

Obstructive Sleep Apnea surgeons at the Stanford School of Medicine are speaking up about the TRUE surgical success rate of different surgeries (it is no where near what we’re told in the office) Dr. Stanley Liu, MD, DDS (an internationally renowned sleep surgeon) in his paper

Productivity and fitness hack (if you're not doing this, you don't care about either) Every time someone interrupts you at your desk at work, get up and do 20 air squats. I did this on Monday. Easily got 200+ reps. 3 days later, nobody is bugging me and I'm too sore to get up

Now to be honest, those will help, but they won’t be enough. Your metabolism is only one component of the sleep apnea equation. The bigger consideration is your breathing pattern. To get help with that, comment BLUEPRINT below!

Step 4: Add nutrient-dense veggies like leafy greens, broccoli, and bell peppers. MAHA promotes fresh vegetables for vitamins and fiber, aiding weight management and reducing inflammation tied to sleep apnea.

Step 3: Ramp up protein from high quality meats like grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, wild-caught salmon, and free-range chicken. Research shows that when you have a higher % of your calories from protein, sleep apnea improves. PMID: 38028703

Step 2: Ditch ultra-processed foods. I feel stupid needing to put a study here, but ultra-processed foods are associated with poorer sleep duration and quality. PMID: 36470114

Step 1: Swap seed oils for saturated fats like butter and beef tallow. MAHA stresses these boost metabolism, reduce inflammation, and aid weight loss to naturally ease sleep apnea. Harvard shows that reducing inflammation in diet cuts apnea risks
