Dr. Merritt has been an answer to prayer. Two years ago I took amoxycillin for a dental issue (December 2015). Within 24 hours I had sharp pains that went from my chest to my back. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought I was having a heart attack. I wound up stopping the antibiotic after 3 days because it was wreaking havoc on my body. Almost immediately, I had the worst heartburn and gerds, was breaking out in hives nightly, as well as having my eyes and/or lips puff up suddenly. Most notable, despite the other things being quite severe, my period stopped. Subsequently, I started consuming apple cider vinegar and maple syrup in water which stopped the heart burn and gerds. I took Benadryl almost daily for at least 6 months to overcome the hives and allergies. I still have terrible allergies, but the sudden puffing up of my eyes and lips has stopped. For the last year I had signs of hypoglycemia and diabetes and felt horrible. I went to see Dr. Marlene Merritt (November 2017) who said she could have me feeling better in 2 days. She recommended several things but most importantly to reduce my carb intake to no more than 60 grams per day (excluding good carbs such as veggies) and increase healthy fats. I started immediately. She was right! Two days later I felt a thousand times better and shockingly, within 3 weeks I started my period and have had a second one all within 2 months. I am almost 52. Despite the inconvenience of a period, I am thrilled that with this simple change, my hormones are kicking in, my symptoms of pre diabetes are gone. It is stunning just how important a healthy diet is and the impact a poor diet can have on the aging process. I have been to several doctors who didn't really have specific answers to my issues. I am thrilled with finding Dr. Merritt. She has been an answer to prayer.

I don't know how many times I have said, "Thank you! Finally!!!" I have had terrible IBS since I was a child. I have been to every type of doctor, healer, psychiatrist, you name it. I am now 41 and can say for the FIRST time in my life that I feel relief ALL the time. Thank you Will!!!!

I have just reviewed my original hand-written notes, date 3/11/2010, when I first went in to see Dr. Marlene. How I got there was rather unusual. My daughter-in-law had been greatly helped by an Austin acupuncture clinic that dealt with infertility issues, and she suggested I call them to see if they took men for other reasons. I did! And they assured me that they only worked with women, but THEN they recommended Merritt Wellness Center. I went on their website, sent an email to Dr. Marlene, who SURPRISE!!!!!, called me personally and chatted over the phone. That sealed the deal. My six presenting symptoms were dealt with seriously, but the serious work was really to address the underlying causes. I so remember returning home and telling my wife, Yvonne (also a patient for years) that for the first time I was really hopeful in my future healing. I have now been a patient-friend of MWC for these years, and am so grateful for the personalized care and ongoing concern. My emails, when Dr. Merritt and Dr. Mitchell are out of country, are answered! The six presenting symptoms? All are significantly improved, but over time. And many other issues took me to the Center. No over-night miracle; just organic, wholeness discipline (ah, those many supplements I keep chugging down every day!!!), and the personal interest confirm to me that my long-term wellness comes in good part because of MWC. My most recent step was the Thermography exam, taken just this week. I await my appointment with Dr. Marlene for her reading and the next steps of integral healing. I can't remember how many people we have suggested they visit the Center, but some of them have reviewed Merritt Wellness Center in TRUSTPILOT also.

Merritt Wellness gave me the answers no one else could and helped me restore my daughter's health. Their knowledge and expertise also saved her from possible grave harm. I went to the doctor for over a year for my young daughter's eczema...it was a very small spot on her face in the beginning, but the nice pediatrician wrote a prescription immediately. It took two months for insurance to approve the script due to the very high cost, over which time the eczema spread significantly. Upon beginning to use the cream, the condition only worsened. When I called the doctor's office and asked for help, saying it had spread to her torso, I was assured that I could put the cream over every affected area and use it until the condition went away. I looked at my then 4 year old, and before I slathered her with more cream that didn't help in the first place, I decided to look the medicine up on the internet. To my horror, it had an FDA black box warning saying that it should be used only as a last resort, only on small areas, and used only for a limited time because it was associated with childhood cancer. Eczema... an auto-immune response...thus this "medicine" worked by suppressing the immune system. When I gently asked the pediatrician about this being given as the "first resort," she replied simply with, 'Well, that's what the dermatologist would have given you." I knew they had no answers, and I wanted to not only treat the symptom, but the root cause, and wanted to skip the cancer side-effect! After visiting Merritt Wellness and seeing Dr. Mitchell, we had hope and a plan of action. Within 30 days of implementing his wisdom, there was dramatic improvement. She is now almost 9 and has been eczema-free for several years. I was desperate and felt powerless when I first brought her in. MWC and Dr. Mitchell gave me the answers and knowledge to take control of my daughter's symptoms by addressing the underlying causes and helping her back to genuine HEALTH. For me, MWC was and is a lifesaver as we have continued as a family to pursue flourishing health and wellness with their amazing knowledge and invaluable help. Thank you, MWC!

I have been going to Merritt off and on for 12 years now. I have terrible seasonal allergies which they have been able to remedy with acupuncture and herbs -- something that traditional western medicine wasn't able to do. Their staff is fantastic! The practitioners are well versed in their fields, and they actually listen to what's going on with you so they can get to the root of the problem. If you're sick of taking allergy medicine and all of the side effects that come along with them, I highly suggest checking out Merritt Wellness Center.

Dr. Merritt is a nutritionist that truly understands the relationship between diet, exercise and diabetes. Check her out on YouTube as that's where I first spotted her. We talk on a monthly basis and the knowledge gained is hard to put a price tag on. I'm a type 2 diabetic with current pre-diabetic fasting numbers. My A1C will be determined in January. Since taking her advice for 3 months, I'm now taking half my blood pressure meds and am off Metformin for T2 diabetes. My heartburn has been non-existent for the last 6 weeks and I was previously consuming antacids on a regular basis. She recommended certain blood tests and it was found that my vitamin D level was low, as well as homocysteine. It is now within range and that might be helping my pancreas produce more insulin, thus helping my morning fasting blood glucose numbers. I plan to continue communicating regularly with Dr. Merritt until I am off all prescription medicines. I feel great due to her recommended supplements and a diet of healthy fats/oils, organic vegetables, limited fruit and grass fed, free range meats. Lastly, I have lost 11 lbs comfortably with a goal of 11 more.

It has only been 3+ weeks but I am already feeling MUCH better! I look forward to going through the whole program to see how I feel after. My health is now quickly changing for the better after many years of no improvement.

Came to Merritt Wellness recommended by a friend for my migraines! She told me to be sure and share any other things I might have going on! I met Sara and I am a work in progress!! She is helping me get my body back to where it needs to be to function correctly and it is also helping my headaches!! Highly recommend them!!
