Poor sleep affects everything—from mood and immunity to metabolism and brain function. At Patients Medical in NYC, our integrative sleep programs address insomnia and sleep apnea at the root. Instead of masking symptoms, we investigate lifestyle, physiological, and environmental factors to restore restful, rejuvenating sleep naturally.
Led by Dr. Rashmi Gulati and our team, we deliver personalized insights, proven therapies, and holistic support designed to bring you deep, lasting rest.
Both conditions disrupt sleep architecture and degrade health—but they respond well to integrative, multi-factorial treatment plans.
Sleep imbalance can manifest as:
We explore the why behind poor sleep:
We design structured bedtime routines—limit screen light, maintain consistent sleep-wake hours, and create a calming sleep environment. Techniques include temperature control, white noise, and guided breathing/relaxation practices to help your body adopt consistent, healthy sleep rhythms.
We use evidence-based ingredients like melatonin, magnesium glycinate, L-theanine, GABA, and 5-HTP to support calming and sleep onset. Hormone-support like low-dose bioidentical cortisol modulators or thyroid balancing may also be recommended to restore sleep quality based on labs.
Herbal sleep aids such as valerian root, passionflower, and chamomile help reduce anxiety and induce relaxation. We also incorporate mindfulness, breathwork, acupuncture, and CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) to build sustainable sleep patterns by correcting underlying stress and thought patterns.
For obstructive or central sleep apnea, we integrate oral appliance therapy, positional adjustments, EPAP devices, and targeted weight management. We partner with sleep medicine specialists to coordinate CPAP initiation when needed, combined with lifestyle and nutritional optimization.
Poor gut health can disrupt sleep via immune activation and neurotransmitter imbalance. Our protocols include probiotics, gut-healing nutrients (e.g. glutamine), and elimination protocols to enhance melatonin production, reduce bodily inflammation, and support restorative rest.
Ana, 47, suffered from wakeful nights and morning brain fog despite using OTC sleep aids. Labs revealed cortisol imbalance, low melatonin, and mild sleep apnea.
Her personalized 8-week plan included improving sleep hygiene, melatonin supplementation, gut support, acupuncture, and an oral appliance. Within 6 weeks, she was sleeping 7–8 hours consistently, with noticeable energy and mood improvement.

We refer to sleep specialists for CPAP evaluation and manage complementary therapies like weight management and nutrition to enhance results.
Many patients notice better sleep patterns and daytime energy within 2–4 weeks with consistent treatment and routine improvements.
Absolutely—gut microbiome balance influences neurotransmitters like serotonin and melatonin, so gut healing plays a key role in optimizing sleep.
