Vitamins D & K Plus Nasal Breathing to Change Your Sleep, Airway Health and More | Joel Gould, DDS

Vitamin D deficiency as the root cause of sleep apnea

Dr. Joel Gould shares how his own sleep apnea diagnosis led him to discover vitamin D deficiency as a root cause, challenging the conventional view that sleep apnea only affects obese people with large necks.

"I had a problem I was diagnosed osed with sleep apnea and this is at a time where most people are thinking well people with sleep apnea they're obese they don't care about themselves they have a giant neck"

Wide palate development is essential for nasal breathing

Gould explains that the palate is the base of the nose, so nasal breathing requires a wide palate. Vitamin D and K2 deficiency during childhood prevents proper jaw and airway development, leading to mouth breathing and craniofacial abnormalities.

"the pallet is the base of the the nose so you need for nasal breathing you want to have a wide pallet right so if you can catch these kids before they go through their growth then you can prevent massive cranofacial anomalies"

Gut microbiome connects vitamin D to insomnia and sleep apnea

Gould ties the sleep apnea syndrome to gut microbiome disruption caused by low vitamin D and glyphosate. Without sufficient B5 (pantothenic acid) from a healthy gut, the body cannot produce acetylcholine needed for parasympathetic rest-and-digest function, driving insomnia.

"the whole sleep apnea syndrome comes from the gut microbiome so when the gut microbiome doesn't have vitamin D vitamin D regulates the gut microbiome"
