Optimize U Has Truly Changed My Life!As a 46-year-old going through perimenopause, I felt like my body and mind were working against me. I was exhausted all the time, moody, not sleeping, gaining belly fat for the first time in my life, waking up several times a night—you name a symptom, I had it. I just didn’t feel like me anymore.Thankfully, I found Optimize U and Laura Chastain and her amazing team. I can honestly say I’m feeling my absolute BEST now. Within weeks, my energy came back, my mood stabilized, and I finally started sleeping through the night again. I truly feel like I’m back in my 20s!Not only have the hormones helped me tremendously, but I LOVE all the services included with my membership. The red-light therapy has made my skin glow, the infrared sauna is incredibly relaxing, the compression therapy feels amazing, and the cold plunge has been a game-changer. I actually look forward to coming in a couple times a week.If you’re feeling anything like I was—tired, frustrated, or just not yourself—it is absolutely time to check out Optimize U. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and overall well-being. Highly, highly recommend!

Josh and his team at Optimize U Chattanooga are amazing. Their knowledge and ability to take complex data science and distill it down into language average people can understand is outstanding. Their understanding of biomarkers, how they are related, and what they mean for our overall health and longevity gives me peace of mind and confidence in making the right choices for me, not some cookie cutter recommendations. If you want to live optimally, or even just better than you are now, see the team at Optimize U.

OU’s team has truly given me my life back. My PCP did not have answers for severe PMS or unexplained weight gain. My PCP told me to eat less/exercise more (I was already doing these things with zero results) and offered me an antidepressant. I knew this didn’t make sense with what my body was experiencing. OU figured out exactly what I needed. I have not had period related mood swings for over a year!!! It’s life changing. OU also determined that for me, my thyroid was low (even though it was barely normal according to my doctor’s scale). Once they addressed my low thyroid, my clothes fit and I have energy again. My body feels normal for the first time in 4 years. Go see this team and let them help you too!! I now realize, so many women are walking around frustrated that they aren’t “trying hard enough” or this is just how we age—and it’s a miserable place to be. Thank you Optimize U for making me feel good in my own body!!

Justin really listened to me and didnt try to push me into anything, which was nice knowing I’m a person and not a number. I was offered therapy based on my lab results, nothing more. Love what this place is doing for people!

I was at a very low point when I started Optimize U. I felt so hopeless and lost since being put, unexpectedly, into surgical menopause. I felt like the life I knew was over. But now I LOVE life! Laura makes me feel seen and understood for the first time since my surgery. The amount of compassion and kindness is astounding. Optimize U has saved me and my journey with them is just getting started. Everyone I have encountered there has been wonderful and I am so grateful I found Optimize U. If you are struggling please give them a try because you will not regret it!

The best place for TRT and recovery services. The staff is above and beyond friendly and inviting. They're very prompt with communication both phone and text. It's always a great experience when I'm able to get in the office for a recovery session, either cold plunge or compression; both extremely beneficial options. I can't say enough great things about this place and the people that work there. After years of wasting time and money with the medical industry and insurance to get nowhere, Optimize U offered an affordable solution that's got me to where I needed to be this whole time, helping me get closer and closer to my goal of optimal health.My only knock so to speak would be the recovery services accessibility is only during business hours, which are M-F 9-5. If they could have like access cards to the recovery services or minimal staffed recovery services only hours in the evening and weekends, THAT would be ideal.Thanks, OU

Josh and the team at Optimize U have quite literally changed my life. I’m an endurance athlete and I suddenly started gaining weight and suffering from low energy. I spent almost a year trying to get help from traditional providers, and kept being told everything was “normal”. During this time I gained 50 pounds and my athletic performance deteriorated. Josh listened to my symptoms and combined them with diagnostics to help truly uncover what was wrong. During our 2 years working together, I’ve not only lost all the weight, but I am feeling healthier than ever and as a result my race performances have been better than they were even before all of this started happening. I cannot thank Josh enough for his measured approach to help uncover what was truly wrong and have a plan to help me reclaim my life. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend giving Josh and team a chance. They could change your life!

Lauren Lambert

01:15 20 Mar 24

I have only had 2 interactions at Optimize U but both have been exceptional. Cannot speak well enough about Laura and I have only just met her. This is how healthcare should be! Go here if you want genuine help with no conditions!!

Rebecca Burton

01:31 08 Mar 24

My experience at Optimize U has been life changing in the best way possible. I have lost over 70 pounds in my time as a patient but it is so much more than that. Josh and the entire team are so knowledgeable and supportive and if I could shout their praises from the mountain top I would. If you you feel hopeless and that you have tried literally everything out there to not just lose weight but improve your overall health I encourage you to go visit this amazing team❤️

Optimize U Chattanooga has been such an answered prayer for me.I was looking for someone to listen to my concerns and help me come up with a plan to live a healthy and full life and Optimize U has done that for me.I was referred to Laura by one of the coaches at nutrition world (that is a powerful combo in it self) and she has been so wonderful on this journey.I can honestly say I feel better than I have in years and I feel very much in control of my health and understanding what is happening.I also love all of the additional support with the cold plunge and I’m now addicted!The entire staff at both locations but especially hixson are amazing!!They make me feel so good every time I come in.Diane and Johnathan are wonderful!I definitely recommend optimize u to anyone who wants to take control of their health!

Josh and the team at Optimize U you go above and beyond. They meet you where you are, listen to you and your goals, partnering with you to develop a plan to achieve them. Their slogan is spot on, “Normal is not Optimal”. This is not your normal clinic, normal experience, or normal care. Don’t be afraid to set your expectations high. At Optimize U Chattanooga, the clinic, care, and experience will be Optimal! Thank you all!

I am a new patient. Just left the Low T Center. Wow, what a huge difference. My first consult was with Joshua Porter. He wanted to know all of my history then he explained how and why I felt the way I did in great detail.I never got that one on one treatment at the LowT center. He assured me I was in good hands and I truly believe that. Its been 3 weeks and everything is going as it should. If you are considering starting your TRT journey, or are wanting to move on from another clinic, you MUST come here. If you are wondering about cost, Don't! They are comparable to any clinic around. BTW, all the other staff I have talked to have been knowledgeable and courteous.

If you are struggling with your health and your primary doctor has run out of answers or suggestions, I highly recommend that you make an appointment for an evaluation at Optimize U. I'm so glad that I did!

I can’t say enough about my overall experience with Optimize U. I was greeted with a smile by Kaitlynn at the front desk who made sure i was comfortable while i waited to be seen. My first appointment was with Valerie who took my blood samples. She was very friendly and definitely very experienced drawing blood. She set up my next appointment a week out to go over the lab results. My second visit was with Laura to go over my results. She was amazing!! Very informative and answered any questions i had. I highly recommend Optimize U. You guys Rock!!

Love this place, Josh, Mandy, Kayli and Valerie are exceptional!!They have made my life, a true turn around. I have lost 47 lbs and feel amazing!! I highly recommend if you need advice and how to manage your life in a positive way, go see them. They will coach you and tell you how to use their facility to make your life more functional and meaningful. They have red light therapy, vitamins infusions, semiglutide, and more.

When I first started with Optimize U I had 0 energy and was living off coffee and energy drinks to get through the day. Since starting with Josh and getting my hormones in order I feel INCREDIBLE and highly recommend them. Josh is a wealth of knowledge in the industry and I truly trust his judgment and recommendations. I can’t say that about any other doctors I have seen.

As a seasoned hairstylist, I have seen and experienced so much unnecessary pain, and suffering that women go through due to lack of hormone optimization. There is hope, and there is help! I promise you will not regret visiting the Optimize U team! Josh and his team have literally changed my husbands and my life for the better!

Optimize U is simply the best place in Chattanooga to go if you’re looking to take control of your general health and well being. The entire staff is top notch…caring, knowledgeable, and accommodating. My wife and I both decided to go to Optimize U a little over a year ago after making “better overall health” a goal of ours…. and not only has the team at Optimize U helped guide us to achieve and maintain those goals…but they also uncovered an underlying medical condition that we were unaware of which most likely saved my wife’s life. We highly recommend them to anyone who is ready to take control of their overall health!!

Joy Hayes

Josh and everyone at Optimize U are amazing!! I feel better now than I have in years. My hormone levels are now spot on and my insulin resistance is also now under control.

If only this was what healthcare looked like for all. The doctor was so generous with his time and extremely easy to talk with and explained my lab work in great detail.We need to stop being treated by big Pharma and our health insurance companies but instead work with doctors who care enough to treat with vitamins and education if appropriate. I highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about Josh and Optimize U. I have truly seen a drastic increase in my quality of life. I went from waking up feeling exhausted that continued throughout the day to feeling energized and normal again. I have struggled with fatigue for years trying so many different ways to combat this with no results until I started seeing Josh. Some days it was a struggle to stay awake even while driving and having to take naps when my kids were home from school. Now I don’t even think about needing to rest during the day. He has such great insight for what I needed and communicates and listens so well. Thank you Josh for helping me get my energy back!! This is a game changer for me and my family.

Amanda Booker

17:35 16 May 22

Optimize U came highly recommended from a dear friend of mine and after my first visit I definitely could see why. Josh and his staff are amazing and take the time needed to connect with each patient and their individual needs. It is very apparent that they not only love what they do but genuinely care ab their patients. Thank you for helping me feel my best!!! I will definitely be sending my family and friends.
