Why Quality Sleep Is Vital For Preventative Health

Getting enough sleep—and getting enough quality sleep—are absolutely key when it comes to preventative health.

It’s about optimising your health and keeping you in the best shape you can be for as long as possible.

As an integrative and functional medicine doctor with 40+ years of experience, Dr Jaimini Raniga has seen it all and understands the harmful impacts that lack of sleep can have on a person’s overall health.

It’s this simple: if you’re not getting the quality sleep you need, your physical and mental health will suffer.

A cornerstone of our very existence, lack of sleep adversely affects every aspect of our day-to-day life. It can impact and exacerbate:

  • Arthritis
  • Cardiometabolic health (such as heart disease)
  • Chronic pain
  • Cognitive abilities (memory, focus, and general functioning)
  • Diabetes
  • Mental health issues (contributing to the onset or worsening of conditions such as anxiety and depression)
  • Recovery from illness and injuries
  • Quality of life
  • And much, much more

If you’re not getting the quality sleep that your mind and body need, Dr Jaimini can help transform your life through a holistic approach to improving your sleep—this involves personalising strategies that treat the root causes of your sleep challenges.

These strategies, from therapies to interventions, can include exploring one or more of the following:

  • Antioxidants (e.g. magnesium)
  • Breathwork
  • Cognitive behavioural therapy
  • Counselling
  • Fitness, exercise, and physical activity
  • Holistic allied health support
  • Hormonal balancing
  • Improving gut health
  • Lifestyle modification
  • Mindfulness, meditation, and mind-body techniques
  • Non-drug therapies
  • Nutritional changes and support
  • Stress management
  • Traditional and alternative medication
