| Despite the rapid growth of public interest in holistic medicine, and broader acceptance in medical
circles, most Americans are hard-pressed to find physicians who provide comprehensive holistic care. Because most holistic services are not
covered by insurance, doctors are obliged to develop new practice models outside the insurance framework. Fee-for-service and concierge care
hold great appeal, but also present significant challenges.

Chronic sleep problems are so common that many people simply accept them as an inevitable part of modern
life. But lack of sleep is extremely detrimental to health. According to Anne McClenon, ND, chronic sleep loss should be considered a medical

use, are a lot safer and more effective in restoring healthy sleep.
