RYAN SPRAGUE | FOUNDER

Over the last 15 years, I’ve helped more than 5,000 leaders, founders, and high-performers optimize their lives using cannabis as a precision tool.

My mission crystallized during the hardest season of my life: supporting my father through his final days. That experience revealed a glaring truth: most people are entirely disconnected from their bodies, their purpose, and their power.

I built Highly Optimized to fix that.

We don't teach people how to get high. We teach self-actualization, nervous system mastery, and how to execute on your highest potential. My goal is simple: to help you stop using the plant as an escape, and start using it as a catalyst to build an elite life.

I am the founder of Highly Optimized and creator of the Coach With Cannabis Certification, a program that teaches coaches how to harness the power of Cannabis—safely, legally, and intentionally. But my mission goes beyond the plant—it’s about helping people break free from limitations & embody their fullest potential. Supporting my father at the end of his life showed me how disconnected we are—from ourselves, loved ones & the world. But I also discovered Cannabis, when used with intention, can be a bridge back to true connection. This isn’t just about Cannabis, it’s about self-actualization & stepping into who we are meant to be. With 15+ years in plant medicine & holistic health, I’ve helped 5,000+ people build a conscious relationship with this sacred ally—not as an escape, but as a tool for growth & transformation. Because when we reconnect with ourselves, we unlock true alignment, purpose, and impact.
