The unique offer is an outgrowth of Mills’ appearance on the July edition of ‘CPAP Chat,’ the only virtual support group in the world for people with sleep apnea. Host Eric Cohen, president of sponsor National Sleep Therapy, said, “We put participants to a challenge between now and our October 7th session when Tim will return to check everyone’s progress.”
Mills is offering a free 10-minute one-on-one call to help people get on the right track, asking each participant to share their progress with the group during October’s CPAP Chat. He coaches people to make small adjustments in their everyday routine: taking the stairs whenever possible, parking a little further from the store, avoiding high calorie snacks before bed, and even walking your dog a little farther and more briskly. “These simple changes can make a big difference and get people motivated to do more. It’s great to start small and work up to more,” Mills says.
To help people change habits and “eat healthy,” Mills suggests his ‘6-Day Clean Eating Reset,’ a meal plan and grocery list available on his website and mobile app. “This is where I send people who need help with the eating part before we invite them to the online challenges.” His foods are entirely optional. He also has healthy recipes and tips for good eating.

“Many of us also have weight issues,” Mills says. “Lack of sleep and low energy and motivation to exercise can lead to depression, low self-esteem, and a reduced quality of life – even a shorter life. Several years ago, after I ballooned to 225 pounds and my doctor called me a ‘ticking time bomb,’ I pledged to turn things around. I wanted to live to watch my young son and daughter grow up. Now, I have a proven track-record of helping people reach their goals and get their nutrition in order. That’s where 90% of us struggle the most.”
It’s estimated that 20 million Americans have sleep apnea, though most have yet to be diagnosed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called it an epidemic.
Mills says, “I help people unlearn bad habits and give them emotional reasons to get motivated to achieve their goals. It’s more about WHY power rather than will power. Many can eliminate or improve their sleep issues once they change their lifestyle using my Beachbody Challenge, simple meal plans, fitness program, and a supportive coach who’s been through it. Once you find your motivation, everything falls into place.”
‘CPAP Chat,’ held on the first Wednesday of each month from 7 – 8 pm (ET), attracts participants from many states. Participants and experts provide tips for people with sleep apnea and anyone else interested in the topic of sleep. Sessions are hosted by Eric Cohen, inventor/engineer and a founder of National Sleep Therapy (www.nstherapy.com). CPAP Chat is free, anonymous and open to all.
