What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need sleep medication to improve sleep?
Not necessarily. Many patients improve by addressing the underlying causes of insomnia without relying solely on medication.
What kind of testing is involved?
Testing may include evaluation of hormones, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid function,
metabolic health, and other factors affecting sleep.
How is this different from standard sleep treatment?
Rather than simply prescribing sleep medication, I identify and treat the underlying
contributors to poor sleep. I recommend nutritional supplements, other medications,
electronic therapies, and lifestyle changes.
Can this help long-term insomnia?
Yes. Many patients with chronic insomnia benefit from a comprehensive, individualized
treatment plan.
How long does it take to see improvement?
Some patients notice better sleep within a few weeks, while more complex cases may
improve gradually over several months.
