This is an excellent asset for anyone interested in hormone replacement therapy and optimizing their health.

Shane is not only Formally educated, but he brings a wealth of practical knowledge through hands-on experience.

Don’t waste your time with the online services. This is a real place with real people providing real results.

You can simply, walk in and get your blood drawn for lab testing, Shane always takes time to thoroughly review your lab results with you and does not make it feel rushed. Like your primary care physician might.

You absolutely cannot beat the service for the money!

10/10 recommend!

I’ve had a great experience with this TRT clinic. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and actually takes the time to explain everything in detail instead of rushing you through the process. My treatment plan feels personalized, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my energy, recovery, and overall well being. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clinic that actually cares about results and patient health.

Not only am I stronger in my 50's than my 40's but these guys make it effortless to stay at an optimal level. Customer service is top notch but it is really the expertise that most GP's just don't have. If my Dr tells me one more time to work on my creatinine, the eye roll will make an audible sound. I will be a customer for life.

Optimize U Murray is such a great place if you are looking for a personalized clinic that will focus on improving you. The staff, providers and owners are friendly and helpful. My first visit I had my blood drawn for blood panel labs. The follow up visit was with a provider conveniently through online face to face meeting. Matt answered all of my questions. After the meeting I was able to discuss further with one of the nurses on site, Shane, who continued the conversation further. We talked about services and prices and I learned optimizing your health was very affordable. My testosterone levels were in the low normal range that would of typically been accepted as ok. We talked about having what is considered normal levels of testosterone but not feeling good. I started out taking Enclomiphene testosterone treatment by pill form and saw great results. I felt great and took a lot less caffeine to get motivation to go to the gym. I am now doing testosterone injections and seeing more muscle definition and feeling awesome. The recovery sessions are amazing. I try to do two sessions of cryotherapy and leg compressions weekly to help keep joints and muscles recovered from training. Riley is very friendly and helps to make sure I have everything I need during recovery. They have infrared sauna too. I highly recommend Optimize U hormone therapy and recovery for anyone seeking to improve their health.

I have been under the care of Optimize U since they began. Awesome group, good at what they do. They have grown much bigger from what they began but the personalized care has NEVER changed. Care from Optimize U will focus on YOU and not what "average" or "Normal" is. They will Optimize YOU.
