2025 – Musnick – FSM Approach to Sleep Dysfunction and Insomnia – David Musnick MD

$9.99

In this comprehensive lecture, Dr. Christie Hughes introduces Dr. David Musnick, an expert in functional medicine with over 35 years of clinical practice. Dr. Musnick discusses various aspects of sleep, focusing on practical methods to help patients improve their sleep quality. He covers issues like onset and maintenance insomnia, sleep apnea, the importance of REM and deep sleep stages, and the role of inflammation and oxidative stress in sleep disorders. Additionally, practical tips such as sleep hygiene, the impact of blue light, and the benefits of various therapies, including medications, supplements, and functional techniques, are highlighted. The session also addresses the physiological impacts of sleep deprivation and offers strategies to help patients achieve restorative sleep, ultimately improving overall health and reducing chronic pain and inflammation. Techniques to optimize the sleep environment, manage stress, and the uses of functional and integrative approaches are also emphasized for holistic sleep management.

As a pioneer in the integration of functional and sports medicine, Dr. David Musnick, MD, has been a core faculty member for Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) training since 2000. He is widely recognized for his expertise in applying FSM to complex neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, specifically teaching the Neuro and Visceral FSM Core seminars.

Clinical Expertise & Innovation

Dr. Musnick is board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Sports Medicine and is a certified practitioner through the Institute for Functional Medicine. With over 35 years of clinical experience, he has developed groundbreaking pathophysiology-based models for:

  • Concussion & Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Crafting integrative protocols that address blood-brain barrier repair and neuroinflammation.

  • Chronic Pain Management: Utilizing a “root-cause” approach that combines FSM with Prolotherapy, Regenerative Medicine, and Functional Immunology.

  • Visceral Applications: Specialized FSM protocols for treating the brain, spinal cord, and internal organs (viscera).

Academic & Professional Contributions

In addition to his clinical practice at Peak Medicine in Bellevue, Washington, and his work at the Functional Medicine Institute, Dr. Musnick serves as an Associate Professor at Andrews University. He has authored numerous textbook chapters on subjects ranging from Osteoarthritis and Cervical Hypermobility to the integrative healing of concussions.

His presentations are known for being deeply informative, bridging the gap between traditional orthopedic medicine and the bio-energetic potential of Frequency Specific Microcurrent.
