Wellness Tech and It's Impact on Your Health

Struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or restless nights in midlife? You’re not alone. For women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and shifting hormones, sleep issues often go beyond stress or “just getting older.” Poor sleep can quietly erode your energy, focus, mood, and long-term health — and the root causes are frequently overlooked. In this episode, I’m joined by **Dr. Shereena Lim**, a leading expert in dental sleep medicine, for a grounded, science-based conversation about an often-missed factor affecting women’s sleep: **breathing, airway health, and jaw development**. We explore why snoring, disrupted sleep, and sleep apnea are not just annoyances — and why they show up differently in women, especially in midlife. ### In this episode, we cover: * How jaw and airway development can shape sleep quality across your lifespan * Why nasal vs. mouth breathing affects hormones, energy, and mental clarity * Subtle signs your sleep problems may be linked to airway issues — not just stress * Why sleep apnea is frequently underdiagnosed in women (and what it looks like) * The science behind dental devices, mouth taping, and airway expansion treatments * What to ask your dentist or doctor if you suspect sleep-disordered breathing * Why addressing root causes matters more than relying on “band-aid” solutions If you value honest, expert-led conversations about **women’s health in midlife — without hype or trends —** you’re in the right place. 👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations that put your lived experience and long-term health first. ### Featured Resources & Partners **BLUE SKY CBD Sleep Gels** Get 30% off: http://bluesky-cbd.com/discount/natalie30 **Seeking Health Vitamins & Supplements** [https://crrnt.app/SEEK/NgmAZXqO --- Stay Connected 📩 Newsletter: [https://page.natalietysdal.com/newsletter](https://page.natalietysdal.com/newsletter) 🌐 Website: [https://www.natalietysdal.com](https://www.natalietysdal.com) 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/ntysdal](https://www.instagram.com/ntysdal) 🎵 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@ntysdal](https://www.tiktok.com/@ntysdal) 📘 Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/NatalieTysdal](https://www.facebook.com/NatalieTysdal) 📺 YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/@ntysdal/featured](https://www.youtube.com/@ntysdal/featured) 🎙️ Full podcast episodes & resources: [https://www.natalietysdal.com/podcast](https://www.natalietysdal.com/podcast) --- ### Work With Natalie 🎤 Media Training: [https://www.natalietysdal.com/mediatraining](https://www.natalietysdal.com/mediatraining) 🎧 Podcast Launch Guide: [https://www.natalietysdal.com/mediatraining](https://www.natalietysdal.com/mediatraining)
