Noticing more hair in the drain or a widening part?
It can feel unsettling—especially when you’re already doing your best to manage stress, sleep, and everything else on your plate.

At oH Integrative Medicine & Optimum Health of Utah, we start with why.
We look at the root factors behind shedding—like iron and thyroid levels, stress response, or hormonal shifts around postpartum or perimenopause.

When regrowth support makes sense, we use regenerative options that work with your body’s own healing response—paired with a plant-based growth serum and simple scalp-care steps you can actually stick to.

What many notice over time:
- Fuller look and less shedding
- Calmer scalp, more confidence
- A plan that adjusts with you

If shedding is starting to worry you, you don’t need a script—you need a strategy that starts with understanding.

You’ve done everything “right.”
You’ve cleaned up your diet, tried to get more sleep, pushed through the low-energy days…
and still, something feels off.

That’s the part no one talks about.
It’s not that you’re not trying hard enough—it’s that your body’s needs aren’t the same as everyone else’s.

At oH Integrative, we take the time to understand how everything connects—your hormones, your sleep, your stress, your recovery—so your care adjusts with you, not against you.

Because the truth is, real wellness doesn’t come from another quick reset or copy-paste plan.
It comes from having guidance that listens, learns, and evolves alongside you.

If you’ve been doing all the right things and still don’t feel like yourself,
you don’t need to start over—just start with care that finally fits you.

✨Feel better. Look better. Live better.

BREAKING: The FDA has officially removed the “black box” warning from hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

After more than 20 years, regulators now recognize that the original warnings—issued in 2002—overstated the risks for many women and discouraged needed care.

Updated evidence shows that, when prescribed appropriately and monitored by a qualified provider, hormone therapy can safely support women during menopause and may even contribute to long-term health benefits for the heart, bones, and brain.

This change doesn’t mean HRT is right for everyone.
It means women and clinicians can now make better-informed, evidence-based decisions—without outdated fear or misinformation.

Why it matters:
✅ Reflects modern data and clinical consensus
✅ Encourages individualized, monitored care
✅ Marks a major step forward in women’s health policy

Menopause is a transition, not an ending.
This update helps ensure women get care that’s guided by science—not stigma.

Most people start their health journey focusing on one thing — maybe it’s fatigue, stress, or weight gain.

But what if your body isn’t asking for a single fix… it’s asking for connection?

At oH Integrative, we don’t separate your hormones from your habits or your stress from your sleep.

We connect the dots between how you eat, move, rest, and recover — because those pieces tell the real story behind how you feel.

🩺 We review your labs and symptoms together, so every plan starts with data, not guesswork.
🌙 We look at sleep, energy, and recovery patterns that affect how your body heals.
🥦 We guide you toward habits that support your metabolism long-term, not quick fixes.

Integrative care isn’t about more treatments — it’s about smarter alignment between your biology and your lifestyle.

Because when your body systems work together, results last longer, and life feels lighter.

It’s not one treatment — it’s connection.
Feel better. Look better. Live better.

Headaches. Fatigue. Brain fog. Trouble sleeping.
They might seem like separate issues — but they’re often connected by one story your body’s been trying to tell.

When stress, hormones, and recovery fall out of sync, those “little things” start to add up.

That’s where integrative care steps in — connecting your lab insights, lifestyle, and daily habits to reveal the patterns behind how you feel.

It’s not about chasing symptoms. It’s about understanding what ties them together so you can start feeling like yourself again.

Feel better. Look better. Live better.

I thought I was losing my mind.

Couldn't fall asleep. Woke up at 2 AM in a panic. Anxiety through the roof for no reason.

My doctor said, "It's just stress. Try meditation."

Turns out? My progesterone was tanking—and no amount of deep breathing was going to fix that.

Low progesterone doesn't just affect your period. It hijacks everything:

😴 Sleep becomes impossible (or you wake up soaked in sweat)
😣 Your mind won't stop racing—even when there's nothing to worry about
❤️ Libido? Gone. For men AND women.
🩸 Irregular cycles, random spotting, PMS from hell

Here's what most people don't know: Hormone imbalances mimic anxiety and insomnia. So you end up treating the symptoms with sleep aids and antidepressants... while the real problem gets ignored.

At Optimum Health + oH Integrative Medicine, we test first. Then treat what's actually broken.

When your hormones are balanced, everything shifts. You sleep through the night. Your mood stabilizes. You feel like yourself again.

Here's what most people don't get: The scale is a liar.
You're building muscle. Dropping fat. Sleeping better. Your body is completely changing—but the number stays the same.

That's not a plateau. That's progress your scale can't measure.

But here's what DOES actually stall fat loss:

🍸 Weekend drinks – Your body burns alcohol first. Fat loss? On hold.
🍰 Late-night sugar – Same deal. Easy fuel gets burned before stored fat.

If you're on Compounded Semaglutide or Tirzepatide and wondering why results slowed down? It's not the medication. It's what you're giving your body to burn instead of fat.

You don't need perfection. You need better fuel choices and someone who knows how to adjust your plan.

"Health is everything."

You say it. I say it. Everyone says it.

But when was the last time you actually invested in it?

Most people spend hundreds on insurance co-pays, "quick" doctor visits, and prescriptions—only to walk out feeling the exact same way they walked in.
Tired. Frustrated. Stuck.

At Optimum Health + oH Integrative Medicine, we do things differently:

✅ Real testing (not guesswork)
✅ Personalized plans (not generic protocols)
✅ Ongoing oversight (not "see you in 6 months")

Because here's the truth: If you're running on empty, everyone around you feels it. Your family. Your work. Your life.

You deserve to feel like yourself again—and that takes more than a 15-minute appointment and a prescription pad.

Your health isn't just important. It's priceless.

“Ever hit a weight-loss stall halfway through your program?”
We hear it all the time — and most of the time, it comes down to carb overload and dehydration.

Here’s what usually helps:
🥩 Protein + greens first, carbs last (and less than you think).
💧 Hydration makes fat loss work.
🎯 Protein goals matter more than perfection.

When your nutrition supports your metabolism, progress starts again — safely, steadily, and under real oversight.
