Could I have sleep apnea?

Loud snoring, pauses in breathing and waking unrefreshed are warning signs. We can refer you for a sleep study.

Are peptides a sleeping pill?

No. Peptide therapy is considered as part of a wider plan and is not right for everyone. Nicole discusses it at your consultation.

Can hormones affect sleep?

Yes. Night sweats and falling progesterone around menopause are common reasons sleep breaks down.

Are follow-up visits available by telehealth?

Telehealth is available to patients located in Arizona. Lab draws and some visits take place in the Gilbert office.

Poor sleep and slow recovery in Gilbert, AZ

Falling asleep is hard, staying asleep is harder, and you wake up feeling as though you never rested. Sleep affects everything else, so it is worth fixing.

Understanding poor sleep and slow recovery

Sleep is disrupted by hormone changes, night sweats, stress, blood sugar swings, pain and conditions such as sleep apnea.

Poor sleep then slows recovery, affects weight, mood and focus, and makes every other symptom harder.

We look for the cause first. Where it fits your plan, peptide therapy may be one of the options discussed.
