236: Ryan Jensen, Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers Center: From Exhausted to Energized: A Super Bowl Champion’s Battle with Sleep Apnea
Super Bowl Champion and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Ryan Jensen joins the conversation to discuss a critical health issue that impacts lives both on and off the field — sleep apnea. He recounts the pivotal moment that changed everything: a season marked by significant weight loss, declining mood, and reduced performance, culminating in a candid call from his father that prompted an at-home sleep study. The results were alarming, ten hours in bed yielding only eighty minutes of restorative sleep, with over fifty apnea events per hour. Initiating CPAP therapy not only revived his professional career but, more importantly, saved his life.
