Our Brand
Optimo Supplements is a health and wellness company specializing in high-quality, research backed supplements designed to combat the effects of aging and support hormone balance. Founded by experts in nutrition and hormone health, we are committed to helping people live healthier, more energetic lives. Our flagship products include OverDrive Testosterone Support and DHEA Supplement for both Men and Women, formulated to restore vitality and wellbeing. We believe that age should never stand in the way of living a full, active, passionate life, and our supplements are crafted, by Medical Professionals, to help you do just that! Perfect for athletic and active people who want to keep physically performing at their best and continue optimal health!
Our purpose for creating our company was born out of a true sense of wanting to help as many people live healthy energetic passionate lives as we do! Having our own health aliments in the last 5-8 years sparked us to find natural ways to continue to strive to be in the best health and overcome some aliments which started due to our aging bodies. We are both in our late 40s and early 50s! We feel both our backgrounds are important as to why we are so passionate about health and wellness. I am a medical provider, and from my medical point of view and her homeopathic vitamin view both opened our eyes to new ways of looking at our health. I would show her medical studies and lab results, she would show me how natural remedies that can cure many health related issues. So we decided to both put out heads together and for the last few years we researched & read anything we can get our hands on about how to achieve natural energy in men and women. During our downtime during COVID we came up with fantastic ideas for products we knew would work, especially after trying many products on the market we quickly realized we can do much better! So we decided to create a company that first of all is honest, transparent, uses the best natural products that are scientifically backed and researched. We want to set ourselves apart by giving people control of their health. We are targeting people who want to stay or get active, want to have a healthy lifestyle and continue to be their best, to achieve more energy, and stamina. COVID really showed us how fragile our bodies can be, but with the correct nutrients our bodies can have a stronger immune system, stronger bones, heart, lungs and scientifically proven that the healthier our bodies are the faster we recover from illness and disease.
Sylvia has lived all of her life in nutrition due to her mother owning a vitamin shop, as a child she was on the leading edge with her mother who gave her children’s syrup multi-vitamin, had protein shakes for breakfast and protein bars for a snack. Her mother was a fanatic! She even gave them Tea Tree Oil Toothpaste, Aloe Vera juice at the age of 10 years old, and digestive detox flushes with alfalfa pills. We are talking about the late 70’s (sorry hun revealing your age but you look fantastic). To say the least, she has extensive knowledge on any nutritional products on the market, but also firsthand experience of what it does to you after years of living this health lifestyle. As an adult in her late 20’s she moved to Los Angeles from Santa Ana a Latino community in the suburbs to city life of Los Angeles to attend UCLA. She has always been athletic playing sports in school and kept her up her active workouts and training consistently. In her late 20’s she decided to become a pescatarian, so for over 26 years she’s been on the leading edge of nutrition, health and wellness. She shopped at the original health stores in Los Angeles before anything was popular, LA Farmers Market and was shunned when she went into any restaurant asking for vegetarian options. In some countries she was even yelled at and asked to leave when she expressed, she did not eat meat. As she continued her passion for health and wellness, she studies Chinese Medicine and became a shiatsu massage therapist in 1997 and worked for a chiropractor. Let’s say she has some real experience but what are the results of all this you may ask? I am proud to say she looks fantastic, young, energized but that hasn’t meant its been pain free. Because of some of her health issues she has had to search for more answers to some big health questions, which are very main stream health concerns. The fact is as we age we definitely will hit some bumps in the road, and this is why we are both passionate abut helping people to make it easier to find solutions. As I came into her life in 2016 we both feel blessed to have found each other.
A bit about myself, (Dan Raphael) I’ve always been a health enthusiast so much I went to school and became a Physician Assistant. Being in the medical industry for over 25 years I’ve seen a lot of disease, worked with the top medical practitioners in the country and seen the inside of western medicine. My biggest curiosity moment was when I picked up some work working in a hormone replacement (TRT) clinic and was able to see and learn a whole other perspective on anti-aging medicine.
I consider myself to be a super athlete as I have played multiple sports throughout my life excelling in soccer and track and field. I’ve also participated in Muay Thai kickboxing and MMA fighting for 4-5 years. I stay extremely physically active as I continue to contend in obstacle course races, weight train, run, and participate in high intensity interval training . As I have gotten older I see first hand how my own energy and stamina has declined. With these noticeable changes my passion became clear as I joined forces with my wife.
WHY DO I WANT TO BE A HEALTH COACH? SYLVIA LUNA will have a certificate in this field by November 2022.
I (Sylvia) see how supplements and vitamins have changed peoples lives, to live longer better quality lives! A great example is my aunt, who lives with us, she just turned 90 and had not one health issue, she walks daily, cooks, and takes care of herself. My mother who was 83 was in optimal health, NO health issues, strong heart, lungs, vibrant, super energetic, vibrant and in her last year of life they found a brain tumor in 2021, which if you asked her she would say it was her cell phone that gave it to her, she did not make it but until the end she believed she lived a healthy and vibrant life. Maybe yes, the cell phone can cause cancer, especially since she had a bad habit of having it next to her ear on a daily basis. Who knows but what we do know is the rest of her body was in tip top shape. My grandmother who was 92 was still going for walks daily, cooking until she fell and said her knees were tired, she used to say I will keep going until one day my body just can’t anymore. Once she became sedentary, she caught pneumonia was in the hospital and passed away in her sleep at 94 also in great health just died of old age. Yes some may say, we may have good genes BUT all these women had balanced healthy meals, ate healthy and this is not easy primarily eating Mexican food, but my mother’s influence had a lot to do with introducing vitamins & supplements to her family in the early 70s. They all have another commanality they truly believe in resting the body, with good sleep, and meditating the mind by praying daily, which is a form of meditation. It’s really not complicated but throw in a busy lifestyle, a culture full of stress factors and this changes our lifestyles. Adding in our culture or trends around the food industry and our environment well that just throws in another factor. The LIFESTYLE we choose has a lot to do with our current state of our health. So everyone needs to RESET to Healthy Daily Habits! First, decide your goals, Second, commit to three Big principles Clean Food, Exercise, Best Natural Products.
