Sarah Hayes + Steph Saffer | Founders of OptimizeYou, a brand dedicated to moving people towards better health everyday. When it comes to improving health, it can be hard to know where to begin. Steph and Sarah talk about how to optimize physical and emotional well-being, and the things people struggle with along the way. Based off of their cumulative 25+ years of clinical experience as acupuncturists, their own personal life experiences, and the stories of their awesome guests and experts.
Antoinette Leis, long-time patient and lover of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, describes her path to self-discovery and self-love, after years of battling health issues. Antoinette's spiritual journey and path to healing has been long and not always linear. She talks about her struggles with hypothyroidism, but also low self-esteem, shame and old trauma.
This is a story of personal transformation that is more common than we know. Antoinette's discourse on physical health, body image and tapping into our personal potential will inspire and encourage anyone who has struggled with their own health or self-worth.

Don't Panic! How to Be Your Own Health Advocate
When you sustain an injury, or go through any type of health issue, it can be scary and bring up big questions: Is this something serious? Should I be worried? Will I need surgery? It almost feels like an identity crisis for some people. Many people panic, and look for the quick solution.
Try not to panic! Remember that every type of practitioner has a different set of tools, and it depends on whose chair you are sitting in. Often times, there are many treatments options, and you have time to figure out where to begin. In general, it works to start with less invasive therapies first, and if you're not seeing results, pursue other options.
We encourage everyone to advocate for themselves when it comes to their health. You have a voice when it comes to your care. Do not be afraid to seek more information or a second opinion. And trust your intuition...we often have a deep sense of what is right for our body.

Coming Out, Perfectionism, and the Power of Story ft. Steph Saffer
In this podcast, you hear from Steph Saffer, cofounder of OptimizeYou, as she gives insight into some of the big events that shaped her throughout her life. She describes herself as a "recovering perfectionist" and talks about how losing a parent at a young age and growing up questioning her sexuality were some of the origins of that perfectionism. She also discusses the power of story...her "coming out" story...and how visibility and the retelling of experiences can help others in their own lives and struggles.
Both Sarah and Steph believe that one of the fundamental aspects of health, and the ability to thrive, is living your authentic truth, and that sexual orientation is an essential part of personal truth and identity. They also firmly believe that all humans should have equal rights, and equal access to health care, no matter their sexual or gender expression or orientation.
