Functional Medicine Practitioners in Plano, TX
Root-Cause Wellness Since 2007
At Optim8 Health & Wellness, we believe you deserve more than just “normal” lab results—you deserve to feel vibrant. Since 2007, our clinic has served the Plano, Frisco, and McKinney communities by bridging the gap between traditional diagnostics and integrative functional health.
We don’t just manage symptoms; we partner with you to identify the underlying drivers of imbalance. By combining traditional lab work with advanced functional panels (including gut, hormone, and genetic testing), we create strategic, personalized solutions tailored to your unique physiology.

“I have been searching for a functional medicine doctor for years to deal with my gut and hormone issues. Yay I found Laura and Heather!! I knew at my initial visit that this was the place for me. Laura did not waiver on her absolute confidence in getting to the root cause of all my issues. After comprehensive testing, Laura gave me a custom plan just for me. In only a few short weeks I started feeling leaps and bounds better. I’m so excited about this new health journey. This is only the beginning!”
