By Josh Hudson
Ladies and Gentlemen – are you looking to feel stronger, healthier, and more energized? Underground Strength and Wellness is Lake Oconee’s new walk-in clinic for prescription weight loss, anti-aging, hormone replacement therapy, thyroid optimization, peptide therapy, IV hydration, vitamin injections, and solutions for erectile dysfunction. Under the direct care and guidance of a nurse practitioner, let us get you feeling and looking your best by addressing low energy, low libido, or other hormone-related concerns.
Underground Strength and Wellness had its official grand opening on February 17th, 2025, and they have already garnered an amazing reputation in this community. They proudly provide a highly personalized approach to wellness that combines multiple services under one roof. Every client is under the direct care of a nurse practitioner from start to finish, ensuring safety, medical oversight, and a tailored treatment plan. Their ongoing lab evaluations and medication adjustments mean their clients aren’t just given a “one-size-fits-all” program. Clients receive continuous, science-based care that evolves with their needs.
What sets Underground Strength and Wellness apart is their mission to blend advanced medical protocols with a hands-on, relationship-driven approach. “We don’t simply prescribe and send you on your way,” adds Charis Burhenn, NP-C. “We track your progress through regular labs, adjust your plan as your body responds, and ensure that every step is guided by clinical expertise. This commitment to safety, personalization, and consistent follow-up allows clients to see real, lasting results while feeling confident they’re in experienced, attentive hands. Additionally, their clinic is walk-in only Monday – Friday, 10 am – 6 pm. NO appointment is needed!”

“There was a time in my life when I felt ‘off’ – low energy, mood changes, and a sense that something was missing in my health. I was told to just chalk it up to stress and getting older, but deep down, I knew something wasn’t right. It wasn’t until someone truly looked at my overall health, especially my hormones, that everything changed. Within weeks of the right treatment, I felt like myself again. I felt more alive, energetic, and confident than I had in years.”

From the desk of the Nurse Practitioner, Charis Burhenn: I realize there are so many people silently struggling, never knowing that hormone health could be the missing piece. Now, as a nurse practitioner, I get to give others the same life-changing experience I had. It’s not just my career – it’s my passion! At our clinic, our core value lies in providing integrity-driven, affordable, convenient, and safe care, with an unwavering commitment to delivering excellent, custom-tailored services to each client.
