About Phil Schafer

Phil Schafer is a family and acute care nurse practitioner, serial entrepreneur, and founder of NOW Optimal Network in Prescott, Arizona. His work focuses on helping men and women take ownership of their health through hormone optimization, longevity care, preventative testing, men’s health, women’s health, primary care, and health education.

Phil has been a guest on the Brotherhood Beyond Business Podcast, where he discussed health optimization, hormones, longevity, AI in healthcare, and why entrepreneurs need to treat their health as one of their greatest assets.

Expertise & Professional Focus

Phil’s professional focus is rooted in proactive health optimization. Instead of only treating symptoms after something breaks down, he helps patients look deeper through labs, symptom tracking, hormone evaluation, genetic testing, and ongoing education.

What makes his approach different is the combination of clinical training, entrepreneurship, research, and practical application. Phil does not position health as a one-size-fits-all protocol. He focuses on the individual sitting in front of him, looking at their symptoms, labs, goals, lifestyle, and long-term health trajectory.

His work is especially valuable for men and women who want more than basic healthcare. Entrepreneurs, high performers, aging adults, and people who feel like something is “off” but keep being told everything is “normal” benefit most from his approach.

Building a Business in Prescott, Arizona

Phil has built NOW Optimal Network in Prescott around a growing need for more proactive, personalized healthcare. As more people seek answers around hormones, longevity, weight loss, energy, and performance, his clinics serve as a place where patients can ask better questions and receive more targeted support.

His business growth is tied to trust, education, and results. Phil has built his reputation by helping people understand their health instead of simply handing them a prescription and moving on. That kind of relationship-driven care matters in a local community like Prescott.

As a business owner, Phil also brings an entrepreneurial mindset to healthcare. He is constantly studying, testing, refining, and improving his systems so patients receive care that is practical, current, and built around long-term outcomes.

Philosophy & Approach

Phil believes “normal” is not always optimal. Many people live for years with low energy, poor sleep, brain fog, hormone issues, weight struggles, and declining health because they assume it is just part of aging. His philosophy challenges that assumption.

His approach is grounded in ownership, education, and testing. He believes patients should understand their options, ask better questions, and become active participants in their health decisions. He also believes providers should be willing to keep learning, challenge outdated assumptions, and avoid selling solutions that are not backed by real evidence.

Phil’s long-term mission is to help people extend not just lifespan, but quality of life. The goal is not simply to live longer. The goal is to have the energy, strength, clarity, and vitality to keep showing up fully for your family, business, mission, and future.
