We serve as a pathway to optimal health, on which the individual gains access to choice, attains a new level of health, and, therefore, achieves a new quality of life.

7 Years of Western Medicine Couldn't Do What Dr. Merritt did in less than 6 MONTHS!
After 7 years of dealing with all sorts of functional issues from Endocrine to GI and seeing every one of those specialists, sometimes multiple ones, I finally gave up on "traditional" medicine. I waited so long because I wanted to exhaust all options covered by insurance, but years later, I only got worse and worse and never got help. I finally earned some extra money to help pay my expenses to see Dr. Merritt. Within 12 weeks I saw results I had only dreamed of having. I still have a ways to go, but every week I get more and more back to normal. I have Dr. Merritt to thank. On top of it all, her staff is amazing and very responsive!

Merritt Wellness Center turned our health around
When our family first visited the Merritt Wellness clinic I had chronic migraines and my children had frequent headaches. I was taking a daily anti-seizure drug to help prevent migraines as well as taking migraine pain medicine multiple days a week. My son frequently awoke not feeling well. I knew we needed nutritional help, and I did not want any of us on pharmaceuticals for a lifetime. We learned that our bodies are made to heal and Dr. Mitchell provided the specific supplements we needed to heal, changed our perspective on "healthy eating," and coached us through our journey to health. Not one member of our family is on any prescription medications or pain medications. We have not had to visit a pediatrician or doctors' office for the flu or any other ailment since we started visiting Merritt Wellness clinic four years ago. As a mom, I feel confident that I know how to feed my family well and am teaching them how to take care of themselves. We have benefited immensely from all of the educational tools Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Merritt provide for us. I am extremely grateful we found this clinic and our quality of life has changed immeasurably.

#1 Choice for My Doctor
I have seen Dr. Marlene Merritt for many years. She has helped me and my family with many health issues ranging from the flu to chronic illnesses. Her holistic approach to healing, her blend of using many modalities for treatment, and her approachability are some of the many reason she is my #1 choice for my doctor. I have sent several people to Dr. Merritt who were exhausted with mainstream western medicine and they have all been grateful for her care.

Great experience seeing Marlene Merritt
Went to Marlene two years ago and learned to make permanent changes to my eating habits, which made a huge difference in my overall health, well being and quality of life, not to mention weight loss. Am forever grateful about the knowledge I gained in nutrition and trust Marlene's recommendations and opinions!

Outstanding Practitioners
Dr. Marlene Merritt, Dr. Will Mitchell, and Sarai Stapleton are knowledgeable caring practitioners. No matter where you are on your journey to good health they can help. The practioners are so passionate about helping their clients learn what environmental and genetic factors could be causing poor health and providing the protocol to improve their health.
I had the privilege of attending a seminar where Dr. Merritt and Dr. Mitchell presented information regarding dementia and Alzheimer's. It was outstanding! Their knowledge of the subject matter was impressive. I wish more people from the general public could attend this presentation. It is quite informative and eye opening.
I look forward to continued growth to good health through the guidance of the Merritt Wellness Center practitioners.

Heading for Remission
In November 2015, I happened upon Dr Marlene Merritt and the Merritt Center in Austin, Texas. I watched her video, read her book and visited her site. I was very excited and thrilled to find her. Through her own education, research and practice, she was saying, practicing (and having results putting diabetes into remission!!! – I wanted this!!!) what my research showed and what I had achieved briefly. I joined her site and receive meal plans from her center weekly. Her meal plans are easy and excellent tasting and the principles of high protein, high fat, low carb can be followed where ever I go. I also learned on Merritt Wellness Center Site, that Marlene does phone consultations and scheduled one. It is so good to talk to a person who knows that this way of eating works and has a long term track record of success. Her phone conferences with me are full of support, encouragement and targeted recommendations for supplements and things for me to do to bring me to success.
Around 2012 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes with an A1C of 12.9. It was a very scary time. Genetically, diabetes runs on both sides of my family and I have seen its effects: including being on medication.
I decided to turn these numbers around through diet and made it my mission to find what works. My primary doctor told me of the risks of not taking this diagnosis seriously and not going on medication. I asked her for two weeks and she agreed, since I would be seeing her again in two weeks. Through the support and encouragement of my neuro-muscular therapist, I made changes to my diet and brought down my fasting blood sugar from 290 to 199 in that time period. My doctor was thrilled and gave me clearance to continue on that path with regular 3 month A1C testing by her.
In the months that followed I extensively researched diabetes and tested regularly my blood sugar readings. I eventually reached the conclusion that high protein, high fat, low carb was the way of eating that worked best at bringing my readings down. In December 2014 my A1C reached 6.3 but stress in the following months quickly brought the A1C higher. It was hard going it alone and I was getting discouraged..
Today, August 2016, my body is still going into remission but my last A1C was 6.4...this was after a 3-month period of massive stress involving 2 eye surgeries and running a business while recovering (and under the guidance of Marlene Merritt.
I so strongly encourage you to talk to Marlene and join her center. No matter where you are in the world, Marlene does phone conference calls, after receiving your test results (she will ask for specifics).
I am staying off of medication by simply doing the finger sticks and monitoring with traditional blood testing through my primary doctor, and conference calls with Dr Marlene Merritt and the Merritt Wellness Center.
I had the theories and was practicing high protein, high fat, low carb eating but working with Marlene has definitely expanded my world and provided me with the professional support that I need to continue on this journey. It is much easier connecting with this world.
I recommend highly Marlene Merritt and the Merritt Wellness Center.

Best!
I began seeing Dr. Merritt for a variety of reasons, including depression and tooth/gum issues. Merritt Wellness is the best, most comprehensive wellness experience I have ever had, perhaps in part thanks to her application of multiple disciplines in diagnosis and treatment.
Generally speaking, I never cared for Western medical doctors or psychiatrists and their attitudes that their knowledge is the best knowledge. The care I received from these people always felt more like a pharmacology or surgery sales pitch, always felt hustled. I dare say, if you're the type who doesn't like doctors, go see Dr. Merritt.
My experience with Dr. Merritt is joyful, affordable, complete. She put control over my health in my hands, in a way I could understand and make happen.
