Dr. Brannon practiced as an OB/GYN for 30 years prior to founding his hormone replacement practice, Optimal Bio. He brings a candor and fresh perspective to how and WHY we are approaching symptoms so many women (and men!) are faced with at all ages, and so frequently dismissed by their providers. Optimal Bio bridges the gap for those seeking relief with highly qualified medical providers who are able to assess the patient holistically and meet their needs.  Looking for a location?

In her previous life as a labor and employment attorney and COO, Sallie Holder truly saw the deficit of confidence in female entrepreneurs. She founded The Brimm, which short and sweet?
