Emma is joined by Christina Sanghera, a holistic health coach who helps burned-out women with chronic illnesses. Together they discuss:
* Christina's own health journey with a thyroid condition, Hashimoto's;
* How Christina felt waking up at night before her obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis;
* Misdiagnosis with panic attacks and anxiety and calling 911;
* Stereotypes in sleep apnea diagnosis and how they keep young women from accurate diagnoses;
* The importance of working with the nervous system and especially the vagus nerve to soothe fight or flight responses.
