These reviews are from people who were ready for something different. They got curious, showed up, and did the work—and together, we uncovered what their body really needed to heal, thrive, or level up. Their words say more than I ever could, and if you’re wondering what this kind of care can look like, you’re in the right place.

Cara is a true professional. She operates from a place of transparency, goal setting, compassion, and establishes a working relationship based on data, progress and trust! It's not a weakness to take charge of your own health, and the Unscripted Clinic embodies this motto. I appreciate her communication style, organization, and keeping things simple. Trust me, I've seen it all in pursuit of my own vitality. She breaks the mold on what it means to work with a healthcare provider. In my work with her, which will certainly be ongoing, I have seen tremendous progress in discovering opportunities for improved sleep hygiene, diet, and overall gut health. My emotions are grounded and resilient thanks to her support. My dependency on nicotine has significantly improved. My sleep has regained the sense of waking with a charge to take on the day. Each of these foundational pillars (sleep, hydration, diet, exercise, supplementation, gut health, and mental strength) have assisted in the deeper issue of my chronic kidney disease. She is collaborative in working within the data sets from other practitioners, keep our work very manageable and adoptable, and I'm thrilled that I've had the chance to work with her. 100/100 would recommend, so don't take this lightly because I never feel obligated to leave a review. Authenticity is what she models, and so does this review of the value that she has offered me.

Pure gratitude! Pure gratitude is what I feel after working intently with Cara for the past six months. After retiring from a long stressful and fulfilling medical career, I finally have the time and energy to focus on feeling healthy, energetic, motivated and comfortable in my body. For me that meant changing many unhelpful coping habits. The best thing I did was hire Cara to guide me. We agreed together to start slowly so I can build sustainable lifelong routines, individualized for what works for me. As I thrive in objective information, we tested my microbiome, urine toxicology and bloodwork, and followed the improvements. My digestion is the best it’s ever been in my life! I feel lighter, have improved mood and energy, my eyes are bright, skin even and clear, and I importantly, I finally feel proud of myself and the progress I am making. Cara is well informed, wise, evidence- based, supportive, readily available and responsive to my many questions, and always non- judgmental and so very kind. My life and health are forever improved and undoubtedly, I have added many extra good quality years to my life to enjoy my retirement and grandchildren. Thank you so much Cara! Tears in my eyes as I write this. I am truly forever grateful. 🤍🙏🏼🤍

I’m so thankful for the help my daughter has received from Cara Merak. I felt so lost when my little girl’s health started declining and no other practitioner was able to give me answers – I was told how to manage her symptoms, but that didn’t sit well with me; I wanted to figure out the root cause to her condition and actually heal her, not just manage symptoms. Cara has been such a breath of fresh air. She really listens to all of my concerns and takes the time to address them thoroughly. She’s quick to respond and always gives clear, easy-to-understand plans. Whenever I ask for suggestions, she comes up with several helpful options for me to choose from, which is great since my daughter’s age and limited diet make finding a solution often tricky. In a short amount of time working with Cara, we’ve already seen positive changes in my daughter’s overall demeanor and physical health! Overall, Cara has been so helpful and supportive through this whole process. After years of dealing with my own health struggles and being dismissed or not feeling heard by doctors, it has been such a relief to have someone who actually hears me and is able to walk alongside me in my daughter’s health journey. I definitely recommend her if you want someone who truly cares and knows what they’re doing!

I have been working with Cara and her wellness program at Unscripted Clinic for over a year now. I have to say that I so appreciate her personal and very attentive approach to helping me problem solve some struggles I have had with my weight and body inflammation issues. I am paying a lot more attention to food labels, menus, daily supplements to take or not take, and revamping my daily routines! I highly recommend the unscripted clinic!

I've been working with Cara for a few months now and highly reccomend her. What immediately stood out to me is how organized, professional, and thoughtful she is in every interaction. As a business owner with very limited time, I've historically struggled to keep up with medical appointments as they often feel time-consuming and unproductive. Virtual sessions with Cara have not only made it easier to keep appointments, but they've also been more valuable than any in-person appointment I've had in the past. As a healthcare provider turned personal trainer, I have a solid understanding of what I should be doing to stay healthy. I also have high expectations and want to work with someone who truly walks the walk. Cara absolutely does. In contrast to my experiences with other healthcare providers, where I received generic recommendations and quick prescriptions, Cara's approach has been much more individualized and thorough. I don't have any glaring health issues, but maintaining and optimizing my health is a top priority for me. Cara understands that. She's not just focused on treating illness, but on building long-term wellness. She helped me get the most comprehensive lab work I've ever had, took the time to walk me through the results in detail, and gave me clear, actionable steps to maintain or improve various health markers. Her guidance has been empowering and the push I needed to make a few changes. Cara is relatable, approachable, and deeply knowledgeable. If you're looking for someone who truly listens, cares, and treats you like a whole person, not just a set of symptoms, I can't recommend her enough.

Cara is amazing! For the first time, I felt truly listened to by a healthcare professional. She looked beyond just lab work and identified patterns in my health and lifestyle that others had missed. I finally feel like I'm on a path to real wellness after years of having my symptoms dismissed.

Working with Cara has been a fantastic experience. Her compassion and non-judgmental approach made it easy for me to open up about my challenges. She uses her expertise to help me identify habits that hinder my well-being and empowers me to set and achieve goals for better physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. I can't recommend her highly enough!

I started focusing on my health during the pandemic to strengthen my immune system. Working with Cara and her individualized approach, she provided a step-by-step program tailored to my needs. It's not an overnight fix, but a journey to better health and fitness. Thanks to Cara, I'm well on my way to reaching that goal.
