At Ahn Point Wellness, Dr. Lynne B. Ahn takes a thorough, root-cause approach to sleep disorders, evaluating the full picture of your health, habits, and history to build a personalized plan that restores truly restorative sleep.
Not getting enough sleep affects not only your mood but also your overall physical and psychological health, safety, and ultimate quality of life. A lack of restful, restorative sleep can impact hormones and immune system function, as well as increase the risk of serious, life-threatening diseases.
Sleep disorders deserve to be taken seriously with the help of a healthcare provider like Lynne Ahn, MD. With her experience in functional and integrative medicine, Dr. Ahn can evaluate your symptoms as well as your general health and lifestyle to identify the source(s) of the problem and recommend customized solutions.
The most common sleep complaint, insomnia, is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night. It can cause excessive fatigue during the day, cognitive impairment (e.g., problems with memory or concentration), moodiness, irritability, and other symptoms. It is often caused or worsened by other factors, such as stress, physical or mental illness, or the use of certain medications.
Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing stops repeatedly throughout the night. In the most common type of sleep apnea, the airway becomes physically blocked, limiting the amount of air that reaches the lungs and causing temporary pauses in breathing. As the brain senses the pause in breathing, it signals the body to wake up. This pattern can happen up to several hundred times in a night. Sleep apnea has many serious long-term consequences, including an increased risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease.
Restless leg syndrome causes the irresistible urge to move the legs while trying to fall asleep. As a result, it can be difficult to get comfortable enough to get a good night’s rest.
Narcolepsy causes uncontrollable sleepiness and sleep attacks, in which one suddenly falls asleep in the middle of the day. Sometimes these sleep attacks can occur during activities such as eating, walking, or driving.

Dr. Ahn and her staff are amazing! I haven’t been feeling like myself over the past few years, and wasn’t getting answers from other doctor visits. I knew it was time to invest in my health, so I did my research and found Ahn Point Wellness. Dr. Ahn’s approach to wellness is exactly what I wanted. She does a thorough and comprehensive series of tests in order to get a complete overview of your health. At the follow-up appointment, she spends time explaining the test results and walks you through options and recommendations that address your personal needs. It’s been a month since my follow-up, and I’m starting to feel like my old self again. I highly recommend Ahn Point Wellness!

Dr. Ahn is an unmatched, excellent gastroenterologist; she has a vast clinical experience and depth of knowledge, which fortifies her clinical ability. I am a retired physician and, as such, highly endorse her ability in gastrointestinal disorders, as I found when she treated me. I am pleased to support her superb medical abilities.

Thanks very much for discussing the path results and treatment plan with me. And thank you for your expertise in making efficient and unequivocal diagnoses of esophagitis and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, issues which I can now address. I feel better physically now than at any point since my retirement 3 years ago, thanks to you!

I met with Dr. Ahn virtually in October of 2020 to discuss my experience with menopause and how to best protect my body in the future. I had thought about using hormone therapy, but wasn’t quite sure it was for me. Dr. Ahn explained the many benefits of HRT not only to alleviate menopausal symptoms, but to preserve my brain, organs, and bones as I continue to age. She did extensive blood work to determine my hormone levels, micronutrients, and an in-depth review of my cholesterol. She then prescribed a combination of HRT and supplements to boost my health and well-being, while also taking into consideration my lifestyle and not wanting to wake up and take 20 pills every day! Dr. Ahn practices a unique approach to women’s health whereby she spends a lot of time understanding her patients, and then digs into the data to formulate a customized wellness routine that optimizes their health. Her vast knowledge of women’s health and her attention to patient needs are unmatched!

I found Dr. Ahn when I was looking at available options for menopausal relief. First and foremost, she is kind, thoughtful, and willing to spend the time to find the right solution for you. A huge bonus is that she is a gastroenterologist, especially when trying to find your best path to wellness. Bottom line: she is my favorite doctor and the one I go to first with any questions.

I thought fatigue was just something that I would have to deal with, and I accepted it as “what happens when you get older.” I’m 47 and had lost my libido, and that was bothering me because I have a very loving husband. After seeing Dr. Ahn and starting the hormone replacement prescriptions and supplements, my sleep improved tremendously, and so did my energy level. And let’s just say my husband has also noticed other changes, and we are both much happier!
I can honestly say that seeing Dr. Ahn is one of the best things I have done for my health and my happiness.
I am not exaggerating when I say I couldn’t recommend any doctor more highly.

I waited and looked a long time to find a doctor like Dr. Ahn. While I knew I wanted someone to help me navigate the pitfalls of menopause, I was thrilled to find a female physician who had a passionate interest and firsthand understanding of this particular and taxing time in a woman’s life.
Dr. Ahn is passionate, energetic, and thoughtful about the management of my menopause and all of its related, not-so-fun side effects. She is available regularly and has been very responsive to all my questions. I have also become more informed about how I can help manage the whole aging process.
I am thrilled to have found her and have been completely happy to share her with many friends who currently find themselves at the start of this chapter in their lives. Wish I could have found her earlier.
Dr. Ahn will take the time to listen to you describe your symptoms and their effects on your life. Once she has an understanding of what you are going through, as well as your medical history, genetics, and lifestyle, she can tailor a health care plan to your needs. Dr. Ahn can help you pay better attention to your diet, exercise routine, sources of stress, and other factors in your life that can affect your sleep.
She can explain “sleep hygiene” or things you can do to naturally increase the quality and quantity of sleep you get every night. Depending on your specific diagnosis, treatment modalities could include the use of certain sleep appliances, medication, supplements, meditation, or other types of therapy. You do not have to settle for sleepless nights and sleepy days. For more information about sleep disorders and treatments, please request a consultation with Dr. Ahn today.
