WHAT RECLAIM EVALUATES
A complete picture, organized into clear priorities.
We review the areas most likely to influence your symptoms, health risks and progress. The goal is to identify what deserves attention first and what can reasonably wait.
One symptom or laboratory result rarely explains the entire picture. RECLAIM examines how the findings connect.
Energy and Cognitive Function
Daytime energy, concentration, brain fog, afternoon crashes and dependence on caffeine to get through the day.
Sleep, Airway and Recovery
Sleep schedule, consistency, snoring, breathing risk, morning fatigue and your ability to recover.
Metabolic and Cardiovascular Health
Glucose regulation, insulin-resistance risk, blood pressure, lipid patterns and visceral fat.
Hormonal Patterns
Thyroid, testosterone, ovarian hormones and related symptom patterns when testing and clinical context make them relevant.
Body Composition and Strength
Body fat, lean mass, visceral fat, bone mass, regional balance and changes in physical function over time.
Nutrition, Medications and Supplements
Protein and nutrient adequacy, medication effects, supplement use and findings requiring follow-up with another professional.
HOW RECLAIM WORKS

MEET THE PHARMACIST BEHIND RECLAIM
Health information becomes useful when someone helps you organize it.
I’m Michael Athanassakis, a licensed pharmacist, UBC graduate, Manager and Shareholder at Macdonald’s Prescriptions, and founder of The Optimistic RPh and RECLAIM Health.
After more than a decade in pharmacy practice, I became increasingly frustrated by how often people received disconnected pieces of health advice without anyone helping them understand the larger picture.
RECLAIM was created to connect testing, body composition, sleep, nutrition, exercise, medications and recovery into a structured sequence of clear priorities.
I built The Optimistic RPh to make health information easier to understand. RECLAIM is where that information becomes a practical plan.

THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE
Clear guidance begins with listening.
The strongest feedback I receive is about feeling heard, understanding the reasoning and finally having a useful direction forward.
Mike really takes the time to listen. For the first time, I felt like my concerns were actually understood and addressed.
His explanations are clear, science-based and easy to follow. I’ve learned more from him than from years of trial and error on my own.
Michael gave me the motivation I needed to finally take action. I feel like I’m back in control of my health again.
