If poor sleep is affecting your daytime energy, mood or weight, it may be time for an evaluation. Sleep can affect appetite regulation, metabolism and emotional stability; disruptions in these areas may also affect weight and overall health. We assess sleep patterns and brain function to understand the underlying causes, rather than relying on medication alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need to See a Doctor?
It may be worth having a professional evaluation. Repeated difficulty losing weight may not simply be a matter of willpower. Sleep, stress, appetite regulation, and metabolic rhythms may also play a role.
Rather than focusing only on eating less, exercising more, or counting calories, we begin by understanding how the brain, sleep, emotions, and metabolism interact.
Consultation Process
Your first consultation begins with a comprehensive assessment of your physical health and brain rhythms, including sleep, eating and lifestyle habits, stress, emotional well-being, weight and metabolism. Blood tests and analysis, body composition measurements and physiological assessments help establish a health baseline. After identifying the underlying issues, the doctor develops a personalized care plan.
Testing is tailored to your individual needs and may include assessments of sleep, metabolism, body composition, or other areas as needed. We do not use a one-size-fits-all testing package.
The time needed depends on whether this is your first visit or a follow-up, the concerns you would like to discuss and the assessments involved. When booking, let the clinic know your main concerns and ask how much time to allow for the consultation and any tests.
Treatment Approach
Whether medication is needed depends on your individual condition. Our approach focuses on sleep optimization, behavioral and dietary strategies, with medication used when necessary. The goal is not simply to determine whether or not to use medication, but to help restore balance and improve your overall health.
The time needed varies with your condition, treatment goals and response. Your doctor will discuss suitable goals and adjust the plan based on your assessment and progress. Results are not guaranteed within a fixed period.
The need for ongoing visits and their frequency depend on your condition, treatment and follow-up needs. Discuss changes in your health, daily habits and any difficulties following the plan with your doctor so that the next steps can be adjusted together.
Fees
Fees vary according to the consultation, tests and treatment involved. Before booking or receiving a service, ask the clinic about the charges and whether any items are covered by National Health Insurance or paid out of pocket. Refer to the clinic’s current explanation for your visit.
