Many airway and sleep disorders are treated from an anatomic perspective alone. Yet many adult patients continue to struggle because underlying metabolic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and circadian disruption remain unaddressed.

At the same time, patient demand is changing. Families are seeking providers who understand the connection between sleep, metabolism, inflammation, and overall health. These patients are actively looking for clinicians who can offer a more comprehensive approach.

This mini-residency equips providers with a practical framework to evaluate airway and sleep disorders through both anatomic and metabolic perspectives.

Dr. Andrew Cohen explains how metabolic health, inflammation, mitochondrial function, and circadian rhythms influence airway stability, sleep quality, and treatment outcomes. Participants will learn how to recognize metabolic contributors that may be limiting patient progress and apply strategies that support physiologic recovery.

For clinicians, this training also creates meaningful return on investment. By expanding diagnostic insight and treatment pathways, providers can attract health-conscious patients seeking a more natural approach, offer solutions for individuals who decline CPAP or oral appliance therapy, and introduce new services that strengthen both patient outcomes and practice growth.

Participants leave with practical clinical protocols they can implement immediately.
