About Optimal Alchemy

Optimal Alchemy was born from a life shaped by resilience. As a child and teenager, I spent more time in hospital rooms than classrooms. Children’s Hospital became a second home as I cycled through pharmaceutical cocktails meant to keep my body afloat. I battled Mono, Lyme Disease, Epstein-Barr virus, and the weight of chronic exhaustion. I lost 40 pounds during a year-long case of Mono in high school. And after sustaining multiple concussions from sports—the one outlet that once made me feel strong—I had to step away entirely. But in the middle of all that struggle, something shifted. Instead of accepting sickness as my story, I began searching for my own path to healing. I discovered herbal medicine. I learned to make tinctures. I studied plants the way some people study maps—each one revealing a route toward balance and vitality. Slowly, my body began to change. My energy returned. I weaned off every pharmaceutical I had once relied on, including antidepressants. And the more I healed, the more I realized that transformation isn’t magic—it’s intention. It’s curiosity. It’s choosing to participate in your own well-being. Optimal Alchemy is the embodiment of that choice. Our products exist because herbs helped give me my life back. Today, every formula is crafted with that same purpose: to support others on their journey toward feeling whole, grounded, and capable again. We create with humility, transparency, and deep respect for the plants that made this brand possibleRead their story
