Grateful for a beautiful wife and partner who takes care of her health, has an amazing smile, and is always finding ways to eat cleaner. She’s my daily reminder that great energy and rest don’t happen by accident—they’re built by small, consistent choices over time.

Here’s to better sleep, better health habits, and sharing life with someone who inspires both.

Sleep, Sugar, and Belly Fat: Midlife Women and Mediterranean Diet Explained

Struggling with stubborn belly fat, sugar cravings, or feeling “puffy” in your 30s, 40s, or 50s—even when you’re trying to eat better? Poor sleep may be the missing piece. Less than 7 hours of quality sleep a night is linked to metabolic changes like insulin resistance, blood sugar swings, and weight gain around the midsection, which then ripple into thyroid, immune, and brain health. When that happens, it’s easy to end up chasing quick fixes—more caffeine, extreme diets, or late‑night snacking—that quietly make the problem worse.

At Better Sleep SLC, we help midlife women (and their partners) uncover hidden sleep‑breathing issues, snoring, and oxygen drops that sabotage even the best diet or Mediterranean‑style eating plan. Our goal is simple: help you sleep deeper, balance your metabolism, and feel (and look) 10 years younger with a personalized plan that fits real life—not perfection. If you’re tired of doing “all the right things” and still not seeing changes in your energy or waistline, it’s time to look at your sleep, not just your plate.

Does Medicare Actually Cover Sleep Apnea Devices?

If you’re confused by all the mixed messages online about “dental devices,” “medical devices,” CPAP, and Medicare, you’re not alone. At Better Sleep SLC, we’ve helped Medicare patients get coverage for oral sleep appliances for over 15 years, and in our experience, qualified patients almost always get approved when the right steps and documentation are in place.

Here’s what matters most:
- Your sleep apnea must be diagnosed with a proper sleep test (home or in‑lab) and managed as a medical condition—not just a dental problem.
- The oral appliance must be a Medicare‑approved, hinged medical device, billed through your medical/Medicare benefits (not as routine dental work).
- Your provider should handle the insurance maze for you, including pre‑authorizations and follow‑up testing to prove your device is actually working.

If you have Medicare and are wondering whether an oral sleep device could be covered instead of (or in addition to) CPAP, call or text Better Sleep SLC and we’ll walk you through your specific situation step‑by‑step.

Does Medicare Cover Sleep Apnea​? -

You might be wondering whether Medicare will actually help cover treatment for your sleep apnea—especially if you’re considering an oral sleep appliance instead of (or in addition to) a CPAP. The information out there can feel confusing and sometimes flat‑out contradictory.

Morning headaches? Dry mouth? Throbbing pain?
If you wake up with headaches or feel groggy no matter how early you go to bed, you’re not alone. Before you keep adding new supplements, diets, or “sleep hacks,” it’s important to ask *why* your brain feels starved in the morning. In many of our patients, the real issue is a sleep‑breathing or low‑oxygen problem at night—not a lack of willpower or a bad bedtime routine.

The good news: you don’t always need a CPAP or surgery to fix it, especially if you address it early. A simple home sleep‑breathing test, ordered by a sleep professional, is often the best first step—and in our experience, it explains morning headaches in the vast majority of cases. If you’re tired of waking up in pain, let’s figure out what your oxygen is doing while you sleep.

Not everyone fits neatly into “good sleeper” or “bad sleeper” – and that matters for your health.

New research shows there are five distinct sleep types, with different patterns of mood, heart risk, and lifestyle habits, not just simple “early birds” and “night owls.” Some late‑night types actually have sharper thinking but more risky behaviors, while others carry higher risks for depression and cardiovascular disease; even among early risers, one group tends to be healthier overall and another struggles more with low mood.

At Better Sleep SLC, we don’t just ask “how many hours do you sleep?” – we look at when your brain wants to be awake, how rested you feel, and how snoring or sleep apnea might be stacking the deck against your specific sleep type so we can match the right tools (like oral appliances, schedule tweaks, and lifestyle changes) to your unique biology.

😴 Curious which of the five sleep types you might be – and how that could be affecting your heart, mood, and daytime energy? This is exactly the kind of puzzle we help adults and teens solve every week at Better Sleep SLC.

It's not just morning larks and night owls. There are five unique types of sleepers out there, according to new research, and which kind you are is tied to your health and lifestyle.

Many people don’t realize their tongue and thyroid could be playing a major role in their sleep.

A small or blocked airway is the number one cause of sleep apnea, and an enlarged tongue (macroglossia) often linked to low thyroid can crowd the mouth, cause scalloped tongue edges, and increase the risk of snoring, gasping, and sleep apnea—even in people who are not overweight or are underweight. If you have low thyroid and struggle with sleep or fatigue, it’s important to have your airway, tongue size, and jaw development evaluated before choosing treatments like an oral appliance, CPAP, or surgery.

🎥 Watch now to learn more and see what a “scalloped tongue” looks like.
