Dr. Murray Berall, MD,FRCPC

Dr Berall has been a practising nephrologist and general internist since 1988, adding sleep medicine as a specialty in 2014. Drawing upon his expertise across these three complementary medical specialties, Dr. Berall has developed a distinctive approach to functional longevity, centred on preserving cognitive health, vitality, and quality of life throughout the lifespan. His practice focuses on the early identification and thoughtful management of factors that may influence long-term neurocognitive health. Among these, sleep occupies a central role, given its well-established relationship with cognitive function and the risk of neurocognitive decline. Sleep disturbances and decreased total sleep time also impact on both athletic and academic performance. Through a comprehensive, individualized approach, Dr. Berall seeks to optimize sleep, one of the foundations of health that supports sustained cognitive performance, resilience, and healthy longevity.
