Something to Sleep On

Over the last year and a half, it has been our pleasure to premiere new episodes every other week. But this episode of Sleep Talking with Dr. Shelby will be our last regular episode for a while. Going forward, you can stay tuned for special episodes and bonus content, but for now, we'd like to leave you with one last Sleep Talking to answer the questions you want to talk about most.  So thank you, listeners, really, truly, for posting these questions on my instagram @sleepdocshelby and for tuning into our season finale of Sleep Talking with Dr. Shelby.

Does My Child Have Sleep Apnea?

How Sleep Changes As You Grow Up

How does sleep change as we grow up? As we become adults, how do our bodies and needs evolve? And if we become parents, how can we help our children get the best sleep possible at every age?   To learn more about sleep for kids, teens and young adults, we’ve invited Dr. Hina Talib, a dual-board-certified pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist.

Can GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications Improve Sleep Apnea?

Within the last 20 years, we’ve seen the rise of a new class of drug - GLP-1 medications - which are intended for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Recent research, however, seems to suggest that some GLP-1 medications could be used to relieve symptoms of sleep apnea.  To learn more about these potential benefits, and the relationship between weight loss, sleep and sleep apnea, we’ve invited Dr. Spencer Nadolsky.  An obesity and lipid specialist focused on exercise and nutrition, Dr. Spencer co-hosts the podcast Docs Who Lift, and is founder and CEO of Vineyard, a virtual health clinic specializing in GLP-1 medicines and cardiometabolic health.
