S02_E15 - The 411 on Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea. There's a number of us who live with the condition, and when you add up the number of bed partners who, by extension, also live with it, that number gets pretty huge. But what is it exactly? Is it dangerous? How is it different from snoring? And what are the options for treating it?
On Episode 15, we'll take a good look at sleep apnea with Dr. Ranji Varghese from the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center at Hennepin Healthcare. We'll break down the causes, the risks and the range of available treatments that may just save you from a sleep divorce (it's a thing)! From sleep studies to the latest devices and techniques, and even Dr. Varghese's own impression of a didgeridoo, we'll cover it all on this episode of the podcast. Join us!
Congratulations to the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center for their recent recognition by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for their 40 years as an accredited institution. The many patients you've served, and their bed partners, thank you!

S02_E14 - Autism 101
Did you know that Albert Einstein didn't speak until around the age of 3? That being the case, it's quite possible that if he had been screened he might well have been diagnosed with Autism. But what is Autism exactly? How is it actually screened and diagnosed? And what is life like for those living with it?
Join us for Episode 14 of the Healthy Matters Podcast, where we'll go over what we know and what we don't know about Autism. We'll be joined by Dr. Krishnan Subrahmanian (MD, MPhil, DTM), a Pediatrician at Hennepin Healthcare to cover the basics of the condition, define what "the spectrum" actually means, its prevalence around the globe, and much more. There's so much to be discussed when it comes to Autism, but this is certainly a great place to start. Join us!

S02_E16 - Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease
Dementia, and more particularly, Alzheimer's Disease is a condition that affects many people and their loved ones the world over. But what is it exactly? How is it detected and diagnosed? Is there anything that can be done to reduce the risk? And are there effective treatments for it?
There are a lot of questions when it comes to the topic of Dementia, and many we still don't have exact answers for. But as with anything in medicine - the more general awareness and knowledge we have around the subject, the better for all of us. In Episode 16 of The Healthy Matters Podcast, we'll be joined by a world-renowned expert on the subject, Dr. Anne Murray of Hennepin Healthcare, to help shed some light on this very important topic. She's a geriatrician and a researcher in the field of dementia, and will help guide us through the basics of the condition, what is known to be helpful and harmful to us as we age, and what the future looks like for those affected by this condition. Please join us.
