Promoting Quality Sleep

Extensive research continues to emphasize the paramount importance of sleep and the detrimental effects of sleep deprivation. It's well-established that a lack of adequate sleep can induce oxidative stress, leading to increased anxiety levels. Additionally, acute sleep deprivation may contribute to elevated levels of DNA damage. When individuals do not obtain sufficient or restorative sleep, it can disrupt various aspects of their health, including blood pressure, heart rate, sexual function, mental well-being, hormonal balance, and immune system function.

Managing sleep disruptions can often prove challenging, despite our best efforts. Dr. Anderson, in conjunction with functional medicine diagnostics and treatments, encourages patients to embrace non-pharmacological activities that promote relaxation of both the mind and body. This approach, rooted in holistic care, aims to provide consistent treatment while minimizing future toxicity.

If you're seeking solutions to improve your sleep health, consider scheduling a consultation with Dr. Anderson to explore whether Functional Medicine offers the right approach for your individual needs.
