Hi, I’m Ciji Smith, a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Optimized Health & Wellness. With over 2 decades of experience in healthcare, I’ve seen firsthand the limitations of traditional medicine—short visits, symptom-based care, and little time to truly connect with patients. I created OHW to change that.

At Optimized Health & Wellness, my mission is to provide comprehensive, personalized care that empowers each patient to take control of their health. My approach is rooted in holistic and preventative medicine, blending evidence-based treatments with a deep understanding of how lifestyle, hormones, nutrition, and stress impact long-term wellness.

Whether you’re navigating hormone imbalances, struggling with your metabolism, feeling burned out, or simply looking for a provider who listens and partners with you—you’re in the right place. I’m passionate about helping individuals feel strong, balanced, and fully supported through every stage of life. My goal isn’t just to manage symptoms—it’s to help you optimize your health, feel your best, and thrive.

I look forward to meeting you and being part of your wellness journey!
