Proper breathing is essential, yet many struggle with issues like snoring, which can lead to chronic fatigue and other long-term health problems. Solutions have traditionally been limited, but REMplenish, featured on ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’ season 17, Episode 14, introduced a device designed to exercise and strengthen the muscles responsible for clear airflow. By targeting the root causes of snoring, the product not only improves nightly breathing but also supports overall wellness. On the show, the founders demonstrated how their device works and shared evidence of its effectiveness along with a practical approach to a problem that affects millions.
REMplenish: Who Are They and What Do They Do?
Anders Olamnson’s path to founding REMplenish blends rigorous engineering experience with a deep commitment to practical health innovation. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering and a Master of Science in Medical Device Innovation from the University of Minnesota, Anders began his professional career in medical technology. In 2013, he interned at Fast Forward Medical in Plymouth, MN, designing custom catheters and co-inventing adaptations for hemodialysis sheaths. From 2014 to 2018, he worked as a Mechanical Design Engineer at Medtronic in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, leading root-cause analyses on implantable drug pumps, collaborating with Swiss manufacturers to optimize component design, and creating regulatory strategies that reduced submission timelines.
He also led innovative internal projects like the Collaboration for Active Knowledge Enhancement (CAKE) and contributed to global market strategy efforts. In 2018 and 2019, Anders expanded his perspective as a Medical Innovator with AndersWanders, traveling across Asia and Africa to study diverse healthcare challenges, gaining insights into unmet patient needs and innovative solutions worldwide. During this period, Anders was simultaneously exploring airway health solutions. In 2017, while completing his master’s, he became aware that up to 80% of people with obstructive sleep apnea remain undiagnosed, and compliance with CPAP therapy averages only 60%.
Inspired by research showing that playing the didgeridoo strengthens the muscles of the tongue and throat, he began developing a practical device to make airway training simple, sustainable, and engaging. By 2019, Anders’ team created the REMplenish Myo-Nozzle, a patented oral device that strengthens tongue, mouth, and throat muscles through hydration. Every sip naturally trains airway muscles, helping users breathe better, sleep more soundly, and reduce fatigue. The product is available in two resistance levels: Level 1, with low resistance and higher flow for children or older adults, and Level 2, with higher resistance and lower flow for adults seeking more intensive training.
