Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel recognizes OSA is serious (cardiovascular risk, daytime impairment) requiring treatment. He emphasizes weight loss (most important if overweight), CPAP compliance support, oral appliances for mild-moderate OSA, addresses nasal obstruction, optimizes sleep position, and considers surgery for anatomic issues. Untreated OSA causes hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
CPAP (gold standard), oral appliances, positional therapy, weight loss, treat nasal obstruction, surgery (UPPP, tonsillectomy, maxillomandibular advancement, hypoglossal nerve stimulator).
CPAP effective but 50% non-compliance, inadequate weight loss support (most important if overweight), oral appliances underutilized, surgery often ineffective or not offered, untreated OSA causes serious complications (hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, accidents).

Key Lab Markers
Dietary Guidance
Weight loss diet if overweight (Mediterranean, low-carb effective), avoid alcohol especially evening (relaxes airway), avoid large meals before bed, anti-inflammatory diet.
Lifestyle Factors
CPAP (most effective treatment, requires compliance), weight loss if overweight (10% weight loss improves AHI 30%), oral appliances for mild-moderate OSA (mandibular advancement), positional therapy (avoid supine sleeping), treat nasal obstruction, avoid alcohol and sedatives, elevate head of bed, UPPP or other surgery if anatomic issues, hypoglossal nerve stimulation if CPAP intolerant.
