His specialty is osteopathic medicine.
As a licensed and practicing physician who believes in treating the whole body, Dr. Mercola has been practicing natural medicine since 1990.
On his website, he lists his qualifications, philosophies and dedications along with his Guide to a Good Night's Sleep. His practice is dedicated to finding long-term solutions for patients suffering from chronic illnesses.
He can and does prescribe prescription medicine as necessary, but his goal is to treat the whole person and not just their symptoms.
Mercola's resume is extensive and he has the qualifications from several professional organizations as well as hospitals. His website is another way to communicate his expertise, information and sense of wellness to others around the nation and the world. When discussing sleep, sleep problems or insomnia, Dr. Mercola has several ideas and methods for helping people get a better night's sleep.
His methods include avoiding bedtime snacks that raise blood sugar and inhibit sleep; listening to relaxation or white noise CDs and sleeping in complete darkness as even a tiniest bit of light can disrupt a circadian rhythm. He advocates no television right before bed because it stimulates the brain. Wearing socks to bed can help reduce waking in the night by keeping the feet warm.
Mercola's guide to a good night's sleep is filled with practical advice and sound reasoning. Behavioral adjustments and good sleep habits are formed over time and Dr. Mercola takes into account several factors.
While the guide may not solve a person's insomnia, it can give them insight into forming good habits that may help them reduce the occurrences of it if their insomnia is related to their environment. Dr. Joseph Mercola wrote the Guide to a Good Night's Sleep and a book called Total Health Program. He hosts a website at www.mercola.com.
