It’s normal to have trouble sleeping once in a while. The foods we eat and our stress level at the time can affect our ideal sleep pattern. But for those who regularly experience lack of sleep or sleep disruption there could be a physical reason. Dr. Michelle Schultz will delve into all the possible causes of your sleep condition and identify root causes. Also consider that sleep can be a barometer for your overall health – so she will also examine your overall wellness and lifestyle, as a consideration in improving your sleep.
One of the important factors to be looked at when someone is experiencing problems sleeping is HORMONE LEVELS. As hormones fluctuate, stress ensues, and your body is put off balance. As a highly skilled and knowledgeable hormone therapy practitioner, Dr. Schultz may include Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy as part of your treatment for your sleep disorder. BHRT uses your own natural hormones so it is safe and effective.
Of course, your stage in life affects your sleep. If you are in menopause (and men, too, can have menopausal symptoms), for example, this will affect your sleep. Testosterone levels may need to be checked. Also, your diet and nutrition absolutely affect your sleep. Dr. Schultz has been practicing alternative medicine since 1998 and utilizes an integrated approach to diagnosing and treating your sleep condition. She utilizes the latest advances and technology to improve the overall health of her patients. You may receive a recommendation to follow a certain diet and take certain nutraceutical grade supplements as part of your therapy.
