Narrative
Preservation of excellent Brain and Sleep health is critical to maintaining a good “health-span” and meaningful longevity.
Poor sleep, especially associated with breathing impairment during sleep is now recognized as a significant contributor to cognitive decline with multi-organ deleterious effects. Sleep apnea is now noted to be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and elevation of biomarkers associated with the disease.
Screening for and treating Sleep Apnea can have profound effect on one’s overall health and it’s a service we champion aggressively.
