GREAT experience with OptimizeU. I followed Amanda to Cleveland because she was so amazing! I met the Cleveland team this week and they were so sweet, professional, and provided exceptional service - and the location is like walking in to a spa. I drive 45 minutes to improve my health at 60 with Amanda. She and her team are worth the drive!

I had a great experience at Optimize U on my last visit. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to actually listen instead of rushing me through. Everything was explained clearly, and I felt comfortable and confident with the plan moving forward. The clinic was clean, well-organized, and ran on time, which I really appreciated. You can tell they care about long-term results, not quick fixes. Highly recommend Optimize U to anyone looking to improve their health and feel their best.

Optimize U has changed my life. I was crying every day and could not find joy in things that use to excite me. I’ve told everyone who will listen that it is possible to find your happiness again. I am so thankful I took this step.

It’s been a two year struggle of different kinds of HRT. I am blessed to have found these supportive and knowledgeable people who are more than medical, but your overall wellbeing being their priority.

I love this place. They helped me understand what was going on with me and gave me options to choose from. I love that they didn’t push prescriptions on me and gave me the opportunity to choose what was best for me.

We love Optimize U. Updating my review to share my new amazing results with Glutethione treatments...two and a half weeks into it and the difference is a exciting. Many of my symptoms have left. Feels like the clock is backing up to where I was several years ago. Energy and mental clarity are returning, body aches and pains are less, I can get through a whole day without a NAP.

Josh is paying attention to my health concerns and finding answers that bring results. My husband and I are glad to have Optimize U in Cleveland, Tennessee.

Honest and scientific answers . They never hurry you through your appointments.

Young and Old, everyone needs their hormones plus other labs checked often. Do not wait to you get sick...do your body a favor now.

Get your labs done in-house and meet with the medical professionals to review results and form a plan of action. They listen to the patient. Love the easy TEXT refill method of ordering.

They have amazing Christmas GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE FOR $10.00 YOU GET 100.00 WORTH OF VALUE.

Love love love Optimize U!
Thank you Josh Porter, Kesha, Lori and staff!

Super stoked to have an Optimize U location in Cleveland now! This company and the local ownership is the best. J. Porter helped me feel like I’m 20 years younger. As a Cleveland resident I’m genuinely excited to have a location finally in town. Nobody beats Optimize U!
