I'm Donnie Osman and welcome to the Brain Warrior's Way, hosted by my friends Daniel and Tanna Aeman.

In this podcast, you're going to learn that the war for your health is one between your ears.

That's right. If you're ready to be sharper and have better memory, mood, energy, and focus,

well then stay with us. Here are Daniel and Tana Aeman.

I'm wondering, is there any study done on the tie with sleep apnea and possibly affecting Alzheimer's or any other brain disorder.

Untreated sleep apnea doubles your risk for Alzheimer's disease.

With sleep apnea, what we see on scans is their parietal lobes, top back part of the brain

and temporal lobes, start to drop in activity.

And a lot of people don't know that sleep apnea can clearly affect intimacy because with sleep apnea usually comes snoring.

So people are often not sleeping together.

Stop breathing multiple times at night.

So you freak out your partner,

because they think you're dead, or you're on your way

to being dead.

And you have lower overall blood flow to your brain and that means you're

chronically tired you're more depressed you're more impulsive you say stupid things

that if you had good blood flow to your brain you would have

inhibited, right? Like when your wife says, how does this look on me? Not that good. It's not the thing to say.

See, one of the things I've learned is when she goes,

how does this look on me?

My first thought is, my first comment is,

well, how do you think it looks on you, sweetie?
