In this episode, we explore the critical link between sleep apnea and testosterone levels. The relationship between sleep apnea and testosterone is complex. Sleep apnea can lower testosterone levels due to disrupted sleep patterns that interfere with hormone production. This reduction in testosterone can then worsen sleep apnea symptoms, creating a challenging cycle. Additionally, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), while beneficial for low testosterone, can sometimes exacerbate sleep apnea.

Tune in today to learn practical advice on managing both sleep apnea and testosterone levels. We discuss the importance of lifestyle changes to help improve both conditions. Understanding this link is essential for anyone looking to optimize their health and improve their quality of life.
