Sleep Apnoea, Snoring & Jaw Shape : The Silent Crisis Ruining Our Health

The Health Review

Show Notes

Do you wake up exhausted, irritable, or with a dry mouth — even after a full night’s sleep? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Emily sits down with Dr Sonia Szamocki, former A&E doctor and CEO of Aerox Health, to uncover the real reasons behind poor sleep, snoring, and undiagnosed sleep apnoea — a condition affecting an estimated 10 million people in the UK.

Together, we discuss:

• Why snoring is more than just a nuisance — and when it becomes dangerous • The surprising link between jaw shape, airway collapse, and sleep quality • What sleep apnoea does to your brain, hormones, weight and long-term health • Why so many people go undiagnosed • The truth about mouth taping, TikTok sleep hacks & the science of nasal breathing • The hidden impact of bad sleep on your mental health and relationships • How Aerox Health is fixing the broken GP referral system with specialist-led care

Whether you’re the one who snores, you sleep next to someone who does, or you simply want to feel genuinely rested again — this episode is a must-listen!
