Welcome to Sleep, Sex & Senility — the podcast where a physician and a dentist team up to explore the powerful (and often overlooked) connection between oral health and whole-body health.
In this debut episode, Dr. Ellie Campbell and Dr. Kathleen Carson introduce themselves and the mission behind the show. Dr. Campbell shares how eliminating poor oral health from her patients' lives led to zero heart attacks or strokes in her clinic over a decade. Dr. Carson shares the story of her daughter's failure-to-thrive diagnosis — and how it launched her career in airway-centered dentistry.
From there, they dig into sleep-disordered breathing: why so many cases go undiagnosed, the real reasons patients avoid sleep testing, and the many ways to treat sleep apnea that have nothing to do with a CPAP machine. They cover nasal breathing, myofunctional therapy, oral appliances, sublingual immunotherapy, and the hidden role your airway structure plays in your overall health — starting from infancy.
If you've ever been told your snoring is \"not a big deal,\" or if you've struggled with fatigue, brain fog, or high blood pressure without a clear answer, this episode is your starting point.
