Hello Everybody! I am so glad you are here with me today. I am the Proactive Caregiver and I specialize in educating others on how to be proactive by empowering the caregiver. If you cannot take care of yourself, then you cannot take care of your loved one.

So what happens when you end up with a pillow over your head because your loved one is snoring loudly? Although it may seem like they are getting the best sleep of their lives, no matter how much they resemble a hibernating wildlife animal, it means neither of you is getting good sleep. 

I bet neither of you would have considered asking your dentist about sleep apnea? I didn't either which is why I asked Dr. Joy Poskozim from Joyful Dental Care in Chicago to join me in shedding some light on what else is going on in our mouths at night. She reminded me that we can survive 3 weeks without eating. We can survive 3 days without water. Yet can e can only survive roughly 3 minutes without oxygen.
