This is one of the most common things we hear, and while weight loss can help reduce sleep apnea symptoms, it's rarely the whole story.
Sleep apnea has multiple causes, anatomy, age, genetics, and yes, weight. And untreated sleep apnea actively works against weight loss by disrupting hormones, increasing fatigue, and reducing motivation to exercise.
Waiting to treat sleep apnea until after losing weight can mean years of poor sleep, low energy, and health risks that could have been avoided.
Treatment and lifestyle changes work best together. π
