In This Episode
Dr. David Shirazi makes some medical connections around the impact of sleep on migraines, fibromyalgia, weight gain, and depression.
If you are concerned about any of these, you’ll want to make sure you listen to this episode so you can go to your next doctor's appointment ready to discuss solutions.
Sleep apnea is a newly researched sleep disorder. Testing to determine baseline was only done on adult white males, leaving ways of determining if you had a disorder only suitable for that particular segment of the population.
With ongoing research, studies have shown that with a 5 or less is “normal” for an adult white male, a 4 for postmenopausal women can cause depression, migraines, and fibromyalgia.
Dr. Shirazi also explains the different types of headaches you may be having and what steps you can take to get rid of them.
From self-advocacy when it comes to talking to your doctor, to understanding why Western and Eastern medicine can help you live your best life, this Howard University grad breaks it all down in an easy-to-understand manner.
