Sleep Apnea

There are countless reasons why we may experience insomnia/pain-somnia or have trouble getting to sleep, including racing thoughts, anxiety, physical health symptoms, worry, stress, or even just outside noises or interferences.

Meet Kristo—he suffered from pains in his body, fibromyalgia, three heart attacks, and one stroke, and has been using a sleep apnea device since 2012.

After 25 years of diligently following the medications and surgeries prescribed to him, his long-term doctors informed him in mid-May 2019 that they could no longer do anything for him. By this point, his body had deteriorated significantly.

He could no longer walk well. His vision was only 30% after two failed eye operations. Using two crutches, he could move a maximum of 100 meters before losing balance and falling over due to the pain. He had been suffering from chronic fatigue for at least 30 years, dragging himself through each day.

His wife, his caregiver for many years, juggled her job in childcare with an unpaid "job" as a nurse, driver, cook, cleaning lady, gardener, and chef, leaving her little time in her busy, hectic life.

Kristo was told to get comfortable in a scooter for disabled people and a wheelchair because that was going to be his life going forward. Their world fell apart - until a friend introduced him to our program.

See the new man! Kristo’s journey from chronic fatigue and debilitating pain to renewed vitality is just one example of how our program is helping many people get their lives back holistically, without medications and surgeries.

We are looking to talk to 60 men and women, especially those over 50, who have health problems and are serious about finding a proper solution.

Your insights will help us build a program tailored to your needs. Participants will be rewarded with a 10% discount when the program launches. It provides transformative results, by the way.

I just invented eating ice cream with a fork. Different. Mildly interesting. Completely unnecessary except that I enjoyed having an original idea and getting curious about it; also liked feeling experimental and playful. I am not afraid to be silly. Hear me moo!

Always reaching for more endorphins through play, humor, color, whimsy, art or music is one of my favorite strategies to ease my chronic pain. You’d think my arms would be longer. It was ridiculous to eat ice cream with a fork, like something a child would do. And yet it felt defiant in a satisfying and healthy way, too. I take my mental health very seriously.

Do yourself a favor and be more playful. Generously sample joy wherever you find it. It’s good for your health. Human adults tend to take themselves way too seriously, don’t you think? 🥳
