Susan Merenstein, Pharmacist/Owner
Susan Merenstein, RPh, is a pharmacist with 45 years of professional experience and more than 25 years devoted to holistic and functional health consultation. Her work bridges conventional pharmacy with evidence-informed approaches to hormone balance, metabolic health, and whole-body wellness.
She was raised in my father’s independent pharmacy in Washington, DC, where she learned that healthcare begins with listening, relationships, and trust.
Susan’s own peri-menopause health journey led her beyond traditional retail pharmacy into advanced study of adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormones. In 2007, she founded Murray Avenue Apothecary, a compounding pharmacy focused on personalized care. Her continued research into inflammation, detoxification, and cellular health later expanded into LabNaturals, Inc.(est 2018) encompassing pharmacist-formulated CBD, glutathione support, and non-toxic skincare.
Today, her work is centered on hormone balance, metabolic and inflammatory health, detoxification, and longevity, using a partnership-based approach that helps people understand their symptoms, use testing wisely, and make informed, proactive health decisions.
Through Vital Health Pharmacist, Susan provides education and individualized consultation services grounded in over four decades of clinical pharmacy practice and patient care.
“My holistic philosophy is to act like a detective together with my client to find out why a they are sick. We never have a deficiency of a pharmaceutical drug-but we can have vitamin, mineral and hormone deficiencies that impact our daily lives and lead to degeneration as we age.”
“My philosophy is simple and unwavering: Be aware of your symptoms, get educated, and take a proactive role in your health.”
“I believe pharmacists are essential patient advocates — and that the future of healthcare depends on curiosity, compassion, and collaboration.”
