You know, my dad snored for years and had no idea that he had full-blown sleep apnea.
And then as soon as he got a CPAP after doing a sleep study, which by the way, insurance, you know, usually covers for that, his entire life completely changed.
He wasn't falling asleep and kind of nodding off like around eight o'clock after dinner.
He had more energy throughout the day.
And my dad has a lot of energy in general, but he had way more energy.
So his life completely changed for the better.
I also have a dear friend of mine, younger guy.
who was in his 30s and would snore every so often and had a little bit of weight that he wanted to lose and lost some of that weight, but still would snore on a regular basis.
And after my dad went on his CPAP and his life completely changed, I mentioned to him, I was like, talk to your doctor because you might have some mild sleep apnea.
He went in for a sleep study.
He had a heavy sleep apnea, way worse than we imagined.
He did a few different things on his journey to lose some of the extra weight that he had.
He went on, he got a CPAP device.
He started getting more energy.
So he was more motivated to eat better throughout the day.
Because if you sleep better, you crave less sugary foods and carbohydrates, multiple studies on that that are done.
He started having more energy to work out.
And in doing a few different things together, he lost an additional 20 pounds that he wanted to lose.
And it was the sleep that was the next big pillar for him.
We talked about fitness being number one.
