Thanks for dropping by. I'm Justin Groce and I'm excited to meet you. I'm a nurse practitioner, strength coach, and student of all things men's health.
I'm an amateur protographer and a lover of the outdoors, especially all seasons non-summer.
I'm a national speaker and an educational content creator. I regularly produce content for the TRT and Hormone Optimization YouTube channel, our Restore Clinic social media platforms, as well as a faculty educator with The Elite Nurse Practitioner.
My love for TRT and men's health stems from my personal experience as a patient being on testosterone starting in my early 30s.
Prior to becoming a clinician I was a strength coach/trainer for a decade and still employ many of the philosophies learned in the training space to my clinical practice. I don't believe in the rushed 8-minute appointments and would rather spend time getting to know my patients personally.
When it comes to testosterone replacement therapy I'm a firm believer in "meeting the medicine halfway." For the right patient, TRT can be absolutely life-changing. However, it doesn't do the work for you. The tenets of patience and focusing on lifestyle optimization, when combined with TRT, are the keys to getting the most of testosterone replacement.
Retired credentials:

I'm Cherise Felix and I'm an Obstetrician-Gynecologist practicing in Tennessee and Florida and the current medical director for The Restore Clinic. I’m a graduate of Quillen College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University and I completed my residency at University of Tennessee - Chattanooga. After 10 years of hospital based practice I changed my focus from the repetitive and limited symptom-driven care and began developing a more comprehensive approach to health that centers around patient education as well as individualized restorative and preventative care that embraces hormone optimization.
Since 2018 I have expanded my expertise to include advanced hormone replacement, peptide therapy, and aesthetics with a growing emphasis on healthy aging and longevity. My goal is to help each person understand the “why” behind their symptoms and treatment plans in order to empower them in their decision making.
From a deeply personal standpoint, I have experienced perimenopause, menopause, infertility, weight changes, pregnancy, childbirth and the pressures of growing a professional practice while also growing a family as a single parent.
I understand the need for hormonal and health optimization so that we can not merely exist in this world. For those of us that have a desire to maintain our physical, cognitive and sexual performance while continuing to be viable and competitive year after year, I’m here to help you make that happen. .
