With over 30 years of clinical experience, Jackie Strickland, PharmD, helps men and women
finally understand their hormones, fix the root causes of fatigue and weight gain, and feel like
themselves again. Her unique blend of traditional pharmacy expertise and advanced functional
medicine training allows her to create personalized, data-driven treatment plans for every
patient she works with.

Jackie graduated from Mercer University Southern School of Pharmacy and built a strong
clinical foundation working in health-system, retail, and compounding settings. After moving to
Hopkinsville in 2000, she became a pharmacy leader and ultimately co-owner of Save More
Drugs for over a decade — but her life and career took a major turn in 2008 when she was
diagnosed with breast cancer. That experience changed everything.

Determined to understand the deeper drivers of disease, Jackie began extensive training in
hormone balance, functional medicine, genetics, metabolic health, and gut restoration. She
completed advanced coursework through the AFMC and the Kalish Institute, focusing on lab
interpretation, root-cause systems biology, and lifestyle-based healing. This passion led her to
join Optimize U as both a provider and partner, where she now specializes in:

• Hormone replacement therapy (men & women)
• Metabolic health & weight management
• Personalized, lab-driven care

Jackie’s approach is simple: help patients understand what’s happening in their bodies, why it’s happening, and how
to fix it.

Outside of the clinic, Jackie enjoys spending time with her family, playing pickleball, riding bikes,
and exercising
