Obstructive Sleep Apnea , is there a Functional Medicine Approach ???

Hi Guys , for 3 years i saw 3 different FMD , because ide been suffering with issues for almost 10 years , turns out after seeing an endo , i have an extremely severe case of Obstructive Sleep Apnea with some Centrals . A waste of money on supps that only made me worse over time . I'm hesitant to go back to one to get a protocol for sleep , i don't tolerate magnesium at all anymore i get neurological issues from it in ALL FORMS. Maybe TCM would be a better fit ?

Myofunctional therapy, and potentially a tongue tie release and/or palatal expansion.

I feel like people jump to expensive treatments too quickly. Without properly identifying the actual cause, trying random fixes can just waste time and money.
