From Myths to Medicine:
Challenge Sleep Apnea Stereotypes and Advocate for Better Healthcare
You’ve been told you have sleep apnea. And, of course, your doctor blames your weight.
They say losing weight is the most important thing you can do. But the truth is, you’ve been down that road before, and you know weight loss isn’t the solution you’ve been promised. Now, not only are you left feeling ashamed, but you’re stuck, grappling with fear. They’ve told you if you don’t lose weight, chances are you’ll die of a stroke.
It’s no wonder you’re overwhelmed, confused, and unsure where to turn.
So what next?
When it comes to sleep apnea, traditional approaches are failing patients, especially those in larger bodies. Here’s why:
Weight stigma damages health
Being shamed and blamed for your condition is a proven independent risk factors for poorer health outcomes.
inequalities in healthcare
Doctors fixate on weight instead of investigating underlying causes, leading to missed opportunities for early treatment.
Patients avoid medical care
Many avoid returning to their doctors, not because they don’t want help, but because they can’t face the stigma and judgment.
Weight cycling increases risk
Intentional weight loss is the biggest risk factor for weight gain, which has been shown to exacerbate sleep apnea and worsen outcomes.
The result? Patients are left feeling stuck, ashamed, and without the care they need.
