Slowly, a painful belief settles in:   “I must be failing.” But here is the truth most people are never told:  Y our body is not failing you - the plan is failing your body. Every human body is different. And when obesity exists alongside Sleep apnea, the body is fighting a silent war every single day and night — one that most plans completely ignore.
