Sleep tells a story. We use it to understand the bigger picture of your health.

How care works

1. Start with an evaluation

An initial visit of up to 60 minutes with Dr. Guzman to understand your symptoms, medical history, patterns and health goals. We look at the full picture: sleep, energy, metabolism,
hormones, nutrition, stress, and anything else that may be connected.

2. Choose your level of support

Some people need an occasional follow-up. Others want a steady relationship with regular visits and support between appointments. You don’t have to decide alone; we decide together based on your needs.

3. Add a focused program if needed

Some patients benefit from more structured care, such as treatment for insomnia or sleep apnea, or intensive support for metabolic and weight health. When a focused program makes sense, we’ll review your options together.

Integrative Sleep Medicine

Personalized, Evidence-based Treatment

Whether you can’t fall asleep, can’t stay asleep, or have difficulty staying awake during the day, the first step is understanding why. Your evaluation is an unhurried look at your sleep, health history, medications and stage of life. When testing can help clarify the diagnosis, I order and interpret home sleep testing myself.

Your plan may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) or Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (BBT-I), CPAP or alternatives, medication when appropriate, and circadian and behavioral strategies. Care may include a one-time evaluation, ongoing follow-up, or a focused program. Either way, you’ll know why each piece is there and how it fits what’s going on in your body.

People often come to us for:

  • chronic insomnia
  • menopause-related sleep disruption
  • daytime fatigue, brain fog, or unrefreshing sleep
  • snoring and sleep apnea
  • circadian rhythm concerns, like a sleep schedule that won’t line up with your life
  • stress-related sleep disruption

Metabolic & Weight Health

Physician-led, weight-inclusive care

Sleep, appetite, metabolism, stress and hormones all influence one another, especially in midlife, and especially when sleep apnea or chronic sleep loss is part of the picture. As a physician board-certified in Obesity Medicine, I take a whole-person, weight-inclusive approach focused on your health and energy, not just the number on the scale.

Care starts with an evaluation of medical, metabolic, sleep and lifestyle factors. Your plan may include nutrition and behavior support, FDA-approved medications when appropriate, and individual follow-up visits or a structured program for ongoing care. It can stand on its own or work alongside your sleep care.

People often come to us for:

  • weight and metabolic health concerns
  • weight gain or insulin resistance in midlife
  • emotional or stress-related eating
  • cravings and energy dips that get worse with poor sleep

Weight health is not a willpower problem, and I don’t treat it like one.

Stress Relief & Mind-Body Practices

A space to breathe, practice, and connect.

Knowing how to manage stress and making time to practice are two different things. Sometimes, having a place to show up and practice with others is what helps you stay consistent.

Through Mind-Body Live, join me every Friday for Mind-Body Afternoon Tea, a guided gathering where we practice breathwork, mindfulness, guided imagery, and other techniques that can help settle your nervous system.

Rooted in my training with the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, these groups offer a regular opportunity to pause, connect with others, and build consistency with practices you can use in everyday life.

Currently meeting Fridays at 12:30 PM ET on Zoom.

These gatherings are educational and separate from individual medical care.

In a typical 20-minute visit, I could only scratch the surface of why someone wasn't sleeping. I built DreamLife so we'd have time to connect the dots: the patterns, the context and the conditions affecting how you feel. I help you find what needs medical support, what you can influence, and where to start.
