"After a short four weeks, this program has already increased my focus, energy and motivation to levels I haven't seen in years! I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be participating." "After struggling with insomnia for several years, this program has provided me with the education, physical and mental training which resulted in restful sleep that I thought would never be possible again." "The combination of coaching, nutrition guidance, supplement support and the advanced therapeutic services are connecting my mind and body more than ever. Positive results were immediate and have only progressed. Simply amazing program!" Thank you for all the help. This is life changing, for me and my family. Hope you all enjoy the weekend and I'll see you Tuesday.
“Thinking about last week, my racing thoughts have taken a complete 180. My mind hasn’t been quiet in eight years. Thank you so much. It feels like there’s actually a brain up there and not static all the time.” “A week ago when I started this process, I was very unmotivated and lethargic and couldn’t sleep. Just one simple week of the HBOT and neurofeedback, my REM sleep average went from 9% to 21%. I am a lot more clear and was able to get off my sleep meds. This is not an overnight process, but I can’t imagine what the end of eight weeks will have in store for me. The staff is so generous and so kind and caring that I look forward to waking up and going every single day, knowing that somebody is looking out for me and my best interest. The passion at OPTi is unmatched compared to any other facility I’ve been to.”
“Before the program I had constant bloating and now I have no issues whatsoever.” “I am not crashing every night, where I used to need several energy drinks a day just to make it through. My quality of sleep has improved. While I still make decisions that affect my sleep (watching TV late), the quality of the sleep I am getting is much improved.” “Overall pain relief has been amazing. I used to take Excedrin every 12 hours for neck and back pain, but now I am pain free!”
“My two biggest improvements have been my breathing and depression. Depression in the sense I no longer feel like I want to end my life every single day. There has been a mild improvement on PTSD and anxiety but life situations are keeping that pretty elevated.”
“I'M BACK! I made it over the hump!" "Vestibular training is really helping me with focus & attention"
I’ve been in the VA for 20 something years. I got tired of them for lack of care. I’ve done PTSD counseling groups and rehab but it’s repetitive and protocol that someone came up with. I”ve never felt different. Medication has just drowned out what I was feeling. Then, I would end up back where I started. Coming to OPTI I feel the results without being on any meds and no adverse reactions. When you get yourself to eat right, sleep right, and exercise right.

“One thing I know about OPTI Health is that no matter what else is going on in my life, I sense peace at their facility. Since starting the protocol, I’m sleeping better and focused more on the things that matter… this is a dramatic change for me.” “My hypervigilance in daily activities is nearly gone. No more scanning the overpass on the highway for bad guys and looking at garbage on the roadside as potential IEDs.”
