Testimonials

Thank you, Merry, for being so compassionate and showing me that there can be a better way of life at any age.

“One day, I was talking to an old friend and noticed that he was energetic and had such a positive outlook since I had last seen him. He explained that he had been working with Merry Matukonis at Optimal Wellness in Auburn. After seeing such a positive change in him I decided that perhaps I needed to look into Optimal Wellness for myself and see if it was a good fit for me. My BP was up and my joints ached and struggled with inflammation and some GI issues. I had been feeling like it was a chore to just get out of bed sometimes and keep up with my busy work schedule. Thinking the way that I was feeling was the natural process of aging or hormonal changes. After my first appointment with Merry I knew that I had landed in the right spot. She explained that with the right nutrition and supplemental support, I would notice positive changes quickly. My blood pressure has dropped and my joints aren’t achy I’m feeling better daily. Merry also introduced me to BEMER electromagnetic therapy which has also changed the way I feel for the better, I no longer feel sluggish midway through my busy work days. Thank you, Merry, for being so compassionate and showing me that there can be a better way of life at any age.”

I can’t say enough about how I appreciate Merry’s help with her nutritional health knowledge and counseling that she graced me with after I had gone through a critical bout of septic shock and was not sleeping and losing my hair.

Her recommendations of my nutritional and supplemental needs helped me tremendously and I was able to get back on my feet and my hair starting growing back! We worked together years ago in the gastrointestinal medicine field so I trusted her insight and her increased level of education in her field today in all areas of nutritional health. I would highly recommend her if you are serious about improving your well being and health status with the information and products she will guide you through.

I am now launched into better healthcare and choices in order to maintain losing weight and feeling more energetic than I have in years.

I started the Prolon program with Merry’s support and professional guidance 6 days ago. It is a 5-day program with all meals, snacks and supplements set up for success. It is designed to rid our bodies of toxins and regenerate cells. Best side effect has been a14 pound weight loss and I never felt hungry or deprived of food. The research behind this is phenomenal and I am now launched into better healthcare and choices in order to maintain losing weight and feeling more energetic than I have in years.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 8 years ago and after 5 days on this plan, my pain has decreased by 50 % and my muscles are less rigid.

I will repeat this regime in another month and one more after that. I can’t wait to see how much weight loss occurs when I repeat this 2 more times. I finally have hope of regaining my health! Thank you, Merry!

In the past, before Standard Process Minerals and Parotid into my life, I would have begun feeling the lack of medication within 2 days.

“Thank you, Merry. The pharmacy that compounds my thyroid medication was delayed in production as they were testing the potency of one of the ingredients. I am now day 7 without my thyroid medication and won’t have it until Monday. In the past, before Standard Process Minerals and Parotid into my life, I would have begun feeling the lack of medication within 2 days. Brain fog, lethargy, constipation.

As of today, day 7, I still feel great, no brain fog, all systems working with no change!!”

I highly recommend Merry as a Nutritionist, who is worth her weight in gold.

“I’d like to tell you about my experience working with Merry for more than eight years. I went to a couple of nutritionists before Merry. It was a waste of my time and money. When I found Merry, I got the help I was seeking. She is a very caring practitioner who listens carefully to what is being said by her client. I’ve gotten results from her that I did not get from my doctors. She started bringing my adrenals back to normal functioning and from there other issues have been addressed and helped. I highly recommend Merry as a nutritionist who is worth her weight in gold. She will listen and help you as well.”

It’s nice to have someone to trust and rely on when nutritional information is
so easily blurred by marketing and weight loss trends.

Stacey – Age 37

We are blessed to have her as our Nutritionist and Wholistic Nutritionist

“Merry has been helping my husband and me for years now to feel better. The supplements she is using are amazing and Merry was the one who finally found severe Vitamin D deficiency as the major cause of many of my problems — something doctors never thought of. Ever since I have been monitored by Merry and on supplements prescribed by her I feel 100% healthy again. Merry is not just a very knowledgeable nutritionist but she is always ready with a smile to answer any questions or concerns about health issues and diet. We are blessed to have her as our nutritionist and holistic therapist.”

I feel so much better!

“Merry is an experienced nutritionist who uses her extensive knowledge and her intuition to identify the exact missing piece. I needed to get feeling your best. I saw her over a month ago and she helped me connect some seemingly unrelated symptoms. With a few tweaks and the correct supplements, I feel so much better! I highly recommend her for those who are interested to take control of their health in a non-invasive way and be guided on their way back to ideal energy levels.”

Anca – Age 37

Within the first week, my pain started to subside so I could walk with a lot less pain.

“When I first went to see Merry the pain in both hips was so bad I could barely walk. I was taking Ibuprofen a couple of times daily. Merry evaluated me using Nutritional Response Testing and found I had food intolerances that were contributing to a lot of inflammation. I stopped eating those foods and Merry put me on a few specific supplements. Within the first week, my pain started to subside so I could walk with a lot less pain. Now 3 months later I feel so much better, I can’t believe it!! I’m so grateful for seeing a practitioner that can actually help me feel better with nutritional support rather than drugs.”

Cindy – Age 64

We are all so grateful for Merry’s expertise in whole food nutrition and Nutrition Response Testing.

“On a recommendation from a good friend, I brought my 4-year-old daughter to see Merry. My daughter had been taking medication for reflux and vomiting off and on for two years and was not gaining any weight, her hair was falling out, and she was complaining of leg pain while playing outside. Merry performed Nutrition Response testing on her, recommended a couple of supplements and within one month my daughter was off the medication and no longer vomiting. Month two she began gaining weight and stopped complaining of leg pain while playing outside. We are all so grateful for Merry’s expertise in whole food nutrition and Nutrition Response Testing! Being relieved and grateful is an understatement! Thank you so much, Merry!!”

We now have a healthy baby girl and feel so blessed

“I’ve gone through 2 horrible, very traumatic miscarriages. My sister in law worked with Merry on fertility issues and became pregnant. So, I called Merry to see if she could possibly help me. After working with Merry for five months I became pregnant again! We now have a healthy baby girl and feel so blessed! Thank you, Merry”

I’m finally able to play with my children without feeling like I just want to go to bed

“Merry basically saved my life. When I met her I was always catching every flu and cold that was coming my way!! I was always sick and tired!! After testing me with Nutrition Response testing I’ve not had a cold or flu for the last year! I’m finally able to play with my children without feeling like I just want to go to bed! All this time of feeling lousy and just a few of the right nutritional supplements Merry recommended and I feel like I have a new life! Thank you!”

Merry really understands how to support the endocrine system to help support proper function

“I had an ovarian cyst the size of a lemon which required surgery to remove. Once removed, my doctor said he didn’t think I could get pregnant. A friend recommended Merry to me. Merry suggested I submit a saliva test to look at my female hormones and a saliva test, the Adrenal Index Panel. Once we had these results Merry put me on a nutritional protocol and 8 months later I conceived and am due this June! We are so happy!! Merry really understands how to support the endocrine system to help support proper function.”

Kathryn – Pregnant at Age 40!

I highly recommend Merry!

“When I came to see Merry I was exhausted, bloated, and constipated. I felt awful all of the time. Merry performed Nutrition Response testing on me. I needed three different supplements to handle these issues. In a week my bloating and constipation were much improved. By week three my energy is coming back and I’m feeling much better overall. I highly recommend Merry!”
