About MERIT

MERIT (Metabolic Epilepsy Remediation & Information Taskforce) was founded to change how the world understands epilepsy — not as a permanent neurological disorder, but as a condition deeply linked to metabolic and dietary imbalance. Born from lived experience and years of research, MERIT unites science, awareness, and community insight to help individuals recognize and manage the metabolic triggers behind seizures.

Our mission is to make knowledge accessible, actionable, and empowering — combining nutritional strategies, lifestyle reform, and education to guide people toward lasting neurological balance. We’re not replacing medicine — we’re expanding it.

Research & Evidence

Nutritional Interventions

EEAT-backed studies showing the impact of ketogenic diets and metabolic optimization on seizure reduction rates.

Metabolic Markers

Research identifying key biomarkers that predict seizure susceptibility and response to nutritional therapies.

Neurological Pathways

Advanced imaging studies revealing how metabolic changes affect brain activity and seizure thresholds.

Metabolic Epilepsy Assessment

Answer these questions to assess your risk factors for metabolic epilepsy triggers.

1. Do you experience jerking sensations before, during, or after playing video games?

2. After eating foods high in sugar, bread, or processed carbs, have you ever noticed fatigue, dizziness, or brain fog within a few hours?

3. Have you had a seizure during or after sleeping?

4. Have you ever had muscle twitches, jerks, or visual flashes during times of stress, exhaustion, or after overeating processed foods?

5. Do you feel mentally clearer or more focused when you avoid refined sugars or refined carbohydrates?

6. Have you noticed that artificial sweeteners such as aspartame or MSG trigger headaches, confusion, or tension

7. Have you noticed digestive issues such as bloating, irregularity, or nausea following processed meals?

8. Do you breifly lose consciousness sometimes?

9. Do you experience headaches or migraines frequently?

10. Do you have a family history of epilepsy or metabolic disorders?
