Sandra Merry APRN

Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Functional Medicine Advocate

I am a dedicated and board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, with a career spanning over 19 years in the field of family practice. My educational journey began at Fitchburg State University, where I earned my undergraduate degree in Nursing, and I furthered my academic pursuits by obtaining a graduate degree from the University of New Hampshire in 2005. In my relentless pursuit of excellence, I also completed the prestigious "Applying Functional Medicine into Clinical Practice" program at the Institute of Functional Medicine.

My path to becoming a passionate advocate for root cause medicine was deeply personal. When my eldest child was diagnosed with PANDAS at the age of 12, a journey of resilience and healing began. Subsequently, she faced the challenges of Lupus. This life-altering experience propelled me to explore a more comprehensive approach to healthcare. Through a combination of conventional medical practices and a relentless commitment to uncovering the root causes of her ailments, including mold, yeast, parasites, and gut health, my daughter is now living a life free from immunosuppressants and embracing her well-being.

My mission is simple yet profound: to empower others to embark on their own journeys to uncover the root causes of their chronic illnesses. I firmly believe that this discovery can reignite the flame of passion for life and health.

Over the years, my experience in family practice exposed me to a recurring issue in healthcare - a cycle of medical diagnoses and symptom management through medication. The result was an ever-expanding list of prescriptions and patients who were not achieving the quality of life they desired. I empathized with patients who felt frustrated and lost in a healthcare system that often passed them from one specialist to the next, without addressing the fundamental "why" behind their ailments.

It was my daughter's chronic health journey that drove me to dive deeper into the root cause of health issues. Uncovering these root causes is akin to peeling the layers of an onion, systematically addressing toxins and parasites within the body, employing herbal remedies, food-based medicine, and various holistic modalities to facilitate healing.

In my practice, I employ cutting-edge functional medicine labs, including mycotoxin, environmental toxin, and gut tests. Muscle testing is another invaluable tool that guides treatment. Each patient's journey is unique, and it is my privilege to offer a personalized approach to healing and well-being.

My commitment to uncovering the root causes of chronic illnesses extends far beyond my profession; it is a calling and a passion that drives me to make a positive impact on the lives of those I serve. I am here to guide individuals on their paths to lasting health, helping them understand the "why" behind their health concerns, and enabling them to achieve the quality of life they desire.
