Your Luxurious Destination

“When you get labelled with the diagnosis of Sleep Apnea, it’s as if you’ve been whisked away to a foreign land, with its own language, culture, rituals, and responsibilities…”

…so begins a rollicking adventure, an educational journey like no other. In the world of Empowered Sleep Apnea, the goal is pointedly “…NOT to dish you information about Sleep Apnea…but instead to SHOW you what it FEELS LIKE to UNDERSTAND it.” Have you experienced true, confident understanding of a subject before? Understanding that allows you to help make decisions? Understanding to the point where you have a sense of…personal agency?

Sleep Apnea is COMPLEX, but you can learn your way around! Many folks have questions…like…What kinds of Sleep Apnea are there? Why should Sleep Apnea be treated? What sorts of treatments are out there? Do they work? How do you know if it’s working? What happens if treatment doesn’t make you feel better?…or…(gasp!)…what if your treatment makes you feel worse…?

…cue dramatic orchestral strings…

Sleep Apnea affects nearly a billion persons worldwide, but high-quality, individualized coaching is in short supply! What if you could capture THE WHOLE COMPLEX LEVIATHAN in one Beautiful Blue Book… and one Super-RAD PODCAST, and what BOTH had…cartoons?

WHAAA??! One journey that unites us all! Psst! Here’s the deal…when you understand how it all fits together, YOU aren’t a cog in some mysterious machine…YOU become part of the solution!

Sleep Apnea, man!…it means different things to different people…how do you know where to even begin?…

“Empowered Sleep Apnea  provides a wide-open gateway for health care professionals to exchange valuable strategies for improving health in their communities.  The story-telling format creates common ground (an island, we might say) for learning by curious experts and those looking to them for guidance.”

The experience of Empowered Sleep Apnea is designed to put you in the right headspace, a magical zone in which intellectual KNOWLEDGE is glimmeringly transformed into TRUE UNDERSTANDING and INDIVIDUAL AGENCY. Using a beautiful and humane combination of humor, cartoons, poetry, stories, fictional characters, and outright magic, Empowered Sleep Apnea has a core of cold, hard science and a heart full of love that’s just plain fun.

The language of Empowered Sleep Apnea is accessible enough for most everybody to understand, to demonstrate a complexity that’s usually hard to grasp. This means that providers from different silos of thought can all use it…no one is excluded. This is important, because in today’s fragmented healthcare landscape, it’s often the patient who suffers as they try to negotiate what seem to be very different opinions from different providers. The language of Empowered Sleep Apnea allows for cross-collaboration not just between providers of different silos…it allows collaboration between provider and patient. After all, shouldn’t ALL the players on the field know how the game is played? Isn’t the most important player on this team the patient?

A “shared consciousness” of the complexity of this problem is what’s needed.

Empowered Sleep Apnea, the whole project, is an attempt to develop that shared consciousness. Need convincing? Read some of the testimonials about our Beautiful Blue Book from bigwigs in totally different silos and you’ll see.

This is language that unites everybody.
