We’ve all heard the term ‘sleep apnoea’ doing the rounds, but what does it really mean? And what does it have to do with weight and weight loss?
Helen is joined in this bonus short episode by sleep specialist Dr Mark Perera, who tells us exactly what sleep apnoea is, who might be affected, and what you can do about it. He explains how being overweight can increase your chances of experiencing this condition, and just how beneficial achieving a healthier weight can be for your sleep and overall health.
