Poor Megan has Covid this week! Over Zoom we were still able to discuss new GLP-1s that are coming down the pipe, Oprah departing Weight Watchers, and influencers online who share their negative opinions on GLP-1s.

Our first guest on The Healthy Weigh is Dr. David Rosen! In this episode we talk about the science of sleep, and how it relates to our overall health and can impact weight gain and weight loss.

Dr. Rosen’s passion to improve America’s sleep led him to launch Renuma, a digital health platform focused on providing safe, streamlined, and accessible end to end care for obstructive sleep apnea (www.renumasleep.com). Eligible users can receive a disposable FDA-approved home sleep tester at their door within 1-2 days and start treatment for sleep apnea a few days after that under the guidance of a sleep medicine physician. In addition, Renuma provides a free automated sleep apnea risk assessment as well as a free “nudge someone” button at the top of the webpage, which helps you politely nudge someone in your life awake to the risks of sleep apnea.
You can find him on TikTok with the handle @TheTikTokSleepDoc, on Twitter and Instagram with the handle @sleepysleepdoc, and you can email him at davidrosenmd@renumasleep.com.
