If we can sacrifice anything, what we give up is sleep, and it's such an essential pillar of health, just like nutrition and exercise.
Picture this: you've survived breast cancer, but now you're battling sleepless nights. What if the key to feeling better lies in something as simple as sleep? In this episode, Laura Lummer sits down with Dr. Stephanie Green, a family medicine specialist who's been championing the importance of sleep for nearly two decades. Dr. Green's journey into sleep medicine began when her own father, a retired physician, struggled with severe sleep apnea without even realizing it.
This eye-opening experience led her to dive deep into the world of sleep studies and their profound impact on health. Dr. Green breaks down how poor sleep can do more than just make you groggy. It can lower oxygen levels, increase the risk of breast cancer recurrence, heart disease, anxiety, and depression. She shares real-life stories of patients whose lives transformed simply by improving their sleep. From understanding sleep patterns to mastering sleep hygiene, Dr.
Green's insights are both practical and enlightening. You'll also learn about the critical role of sleep alongside nutrition and exercise in maintaining overall health. Dr. Green offers practical tips for enhancing sleep quality during and after breast cancer treatment, including the use of CPAP machines and affordable home sleep studies. This episode is packed with valuable advice for anyone looking to reclaim their nights and boost their recovery.
Whether you're a breast cancer survivor or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a wealth of knowledge to help you understand the healing power of sleep.
