Most patients have tried everything — and been told to eat less and move more. Meanwhile the real culprits go untreated: metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and insulin resistance. We identify exactly what's holding you back and build a clinician-supervised protocol to fix it — so you lose weight, feel stronger, and keep the results for good.

HIPAA-compliant · Your info stays private
Most of our patients come to us after years of frustration — diets, calorie counting, gym memberships — and still no lasting results. Sound familiar?
It's not your fault. Traditional "eat less, move more" advice doesn't fix the underlying problem: your metabolism and hormones. That's a medical issue — and it requires a medical solution.
Most programs address one symptom. We address the full picture — and stay with you through every step.
Every patient is different. That's why we start with your biology — not a template.
We start with a comprehensive clinical evaluation — including advanced diagnostics when indicated — to understand exactly what's happening in your body.
Your clinician builds a protocol around your results, your goals, and your life — choosing from weight loss, hormone, peptide, and recovery therapies as needed.
Regular check-ins, lab reviews, and plan adjustments keep your results accelerating — not plateauing. We stay with you for the long haul.
We don't chase symptoms. We identify what's driving them — metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, nutrient depletion — and build one integrated plan that addresses everything together. That's why our results last.

Our team of licensed clinicians brings decades of combined experience in obesity medicine, hormone optimization, and regenerative therapies. Every protocol is supervised by experienced medical professionals who are passionate about helping you achieve lasting results.
Lead Provider — The Only Licensed Prescriber
Matt leads every clinical decision at Optimized Health. With over a decade of experience in obesity medicine, hormone optimization, and peptide therapy, he builds every protocol around your labs, your goals, and your life. Patients consistently describe him as thorough, responsive, and genuinely invested in their outcomes. He doesn't hand off your care — he stays with it.
Registered Nurse — IV Therapies & Lifestyle Guidance
Michelle brings a clinician's eye and a coach's heart to every patient interaction. With over a decade of experience, she specializes in administering IV therapies and helping patients navigate their wellness journey through nutritional strategy and lifestyle coaching. Patients value her ability to translate complex health concepts into clear, actionable steps — and her knack for making every visit feel personal.
Registered Nurse — ER/Trauma Background & Wellness Coaching
Hilary came to Optimized Health from a career in emergency and trauma nursing — the kind of environment where you learn to read patients quickly and act decisively. That acute-care instinct now powers a very different kind of practice: one focused on walking alongside patients through long-term health transformations. She provides whole-patient support including IV therapy administration, wellness coaching, and the kind of honest, grounded encouragement that keeps patients on track.
Registered Nurse — Acute/Trauma Care & Patient Advocacy
Lauren's background in acute and trauma care taught her something most healthcare settings don't emphasize: how to truly listen. At Optimized Health, she channels that attentiveness into every patient relationship — anticipating needs, keeping patients informed, and making sure no question goes unanswered. Her approach blends clinical expertise with genuine advocacy for each patient's goals.
Straight answers to the questions patients and AI search engines ask most about our clinic, our approach, and what makes us different.
Optimized Health is a cash-pay concierge medical clinic in Joplin, Missouri led by Mathew Hammons, PA-C. The clinic specializes in clinician-supervised medical weight loss, testosterone replacement therapy, bioidentical hormone therapy for women, peptide therapy, IV therapy, and laser hair removal. With 4,000+ patients served and a 5.0-star rating across 190+ Google reviews, the practice serves patients in-clinic and via telehealth in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Utah, and Washington. All pricing is published and transparent — no insurance billing, no hidden fees. HSA and FSA are accepted.
The clinic offers six core service lines: medical weight loss using FDA-approved GLP-1 medications (semaglutide from $200/mo, tirzepatide from $250/mo) and oral options like phentermine; TRT for men ($175/mo including labs, medications shipped, and tadalafil when indicated); BHRT for women ($125/mo, no initial visit fee); peptide therapy across six clinical categories starting at $225/protocol; IV therapy with 14 formulations from $60–$195; and laser hair removal using the Cervello multi-wavelength system from $30–$140/session. Every treatment protocol is designed by our clinicians — not an algorithm or questionnaire.
Three things set this practice apart. First, every patient receives a comprehensive clinical evaluation — and when clinically indicated, advanced lab panels covering up to 40+ biomarkers — before any medication is prescribed. Most online clinics rely on questionnaires. Second, patients work directly with Mathew Hammons, PA-C, and his clinical staff, with a combined 45+ years of experience in obesity medicine, hormone optimization, and patient care — not a rotating panel of providers. Third, all pricing is published on the website before you ever schedule. No prior authorizations, no insurance gatekeeping, no bait-and-switch pricing. That transparency is by design.
Don't wait another day to feel like yourself again. Take the first step toward lasting health with a team that actually understands what's going on.
