Sleep Apnea Isn’t What You Think: The Real Root Cause of Breathing Dysfunction

Most people think sleep apnea is just a nighttime breathing issue — but that’s far from the truth.
In this episode, Dr. Bahar reveals why sleep apnea is really a whole-body problem, rooted in how you breathe 24/7, not just while you sleep.

She explains how mouth breathing, poor nasal mechanics, and chronic stress responses throw your entire system out of balance — impacting posture, hormones, oxygen circulation, and even your emotional health.

Using a powerful car analogy, Dr. Bahar breaks down how small imbalances in your breathing create a cascade of compensations throughout the body — until symptoms like snoring, fatigue, and anxiety finally appear.

You’ll learn:
• Why sleep apnea is a symptom, not the root cause
• How over-breathing triggers fight-or-flight and chronic stress
• The overlooked connection between mouth breathing, posture, and energy
• What it really takes to restore balance and proper breathing function
✨ Your body isn’t broken — it’s compensating. Once you understand why, you can finally begin to heal.
