From leading a worldwide movement that combines neuroscience, microbiome restoration, and compassion, to expanding access to integrative treatments for autism, depression, anxiety, and more — Miriam Gimal is redefining what’s possible in modern brain health.
With thriving Brain Treatment Centers in Panama, Portugal, Argentina, Peru, and Miami — and upcoming launches in the Dominican Republic and Mexico City in 2026 — her work is transforming lives and reshaping the future of neurological care.
For Miriam Gimal, autism is not a mystery or a lifelong sentence — it is a medical condition with underlying biological causes that can be identified and treated. Through her global network of clinics and her signature ABC for Autism Protocol, she has built a system where science meets humanity.
Her integrative protocol combines microbiome restoration, MeRT therapy (Magnetic E-Resonance Therapy), and precision medicine to address both the brain and the gut — empowering children and families to achieve measurable, lasting improvements.
Her mission is clear: to show the world that a diagnosis is not a prognosis, and that every child deserves the chance to heal, thrive, and reach their full potential.
While many know Miriam Gimal for pioneering the global expansion of MERT therapy, her vision goes far beyond technology. She leads teams of doctors, scientists, and health professionals across continents to deliver integrative treatments that combine cutting-edge neuroscience with nutrition, detoxification, and microbiome repair.
Under her leadership, Brain Treatment Center has become more than a clinic — it has become a global movement of hope and truth for families who refuse to accept limitations.
Miriam Gimal’s influence extends far beyond clinical practice. She is an activist, speaker, and storyteller who uses her platforms to raise awareness about the root causes of neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions.
Through her upcoming book and documentary, she shares the stories of families who have experienced transformation through the ABC Protocol — reminding the world that science, guided by empathy and truth, has the power to restore not just health, but faith and purpose.
As she leads new clinic launches in the Dominican Republic and Mexico City, Miriam Gimal continues her mission to redefine brain health worldwide. Her vision is bold, her message is clear, and her impact is undeniable:
Autism has hope.
Healing is possible.
And the revolution in brain health has only just begun.
My journey with MERT therapy began long before I ever imagined opening clinics or advocating for this technology — it started with my daughter Raquel.
Years ago, Raquel was severely autistic and completely nonverbal. She lived in a constant state of crisis — daily aggression, no awareness, no eye contact, no response to her name, no ability to follow even the simplest instruction. As a mother, I was desperate. I searched everywhere for answers, but nothing helped.
Everything changed the day our doctor recommended MERT therapy.
I wasn’t expecting much, but after just two days of stimulation, something extraordinary happened. My daughter — who had never spoken a single word — looked at us and said, “Give me more juice.”
Hearing her voice for the first time was indescribable.
And the progress continued. She began following instructions, looking us in the eye, recognizing us as her parents, interacting with her sister. Her crises stopped. She became aware, connected, and able to enjoy life in a way she never had before.
It felt as if this technology had given us our daughter back.
When it was time to return home, I had an emotional breakdown. I couldn’t imagine leaving this behind. Then one question changed everything:
Not, “How am I going to leave?”
But, “Why did my daughter have such incredible results?”
That single question changed my entire life.
I realized that my mission wasn’t just to bring MERT home — it was to make it accessible around the world. I had witnessed too much transformation to walk away. And I knew I couldn’t keep this to myself.
There are options for our children — real medical options beyond antipsychotic medications and traditional therapy. Options that address the brain, the root causes, and the possibility of real progress.
That realization set me on this path — and it’s why I continue pioneering MERT therapy globally today.
Scaling a pioneering health model across different countries has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Every region carries its own culture, medical beliefs, and expectations about autism — and that creates significant responsibility.
In many places, families are told that autism is strictly a lifelong condition with no possibility of improvement. Introducing a model based on brain modulation, microbiome restoration, and precision medicine requires education, transparency, and relationship-building.
Navigating healthcare systems is a major challenge: regulations, licensing, medical protocols, and access to technology vary widely. We must adapt while preserving clinical integrity.
But the opportunities are even greater.
Families everywhere are desperate for answers, for options beyond medications and generic therapy. When parents see measurable changes — improvements in awareness, behavior, language, sleep — trust spreads rapidly.
What I’ve learned is simple: hope is universal.
When advanced technology is combined with respect for local culture, we create a powerful global community that believes autism has medical roots that can be treated. Expansion into the Dominican Republic and Mexico City is not just about opening clinics — it’s about transforming the paradigm and empowering families worldwide.
We are building a movement, not just clinics.
It’s important to clarify that MERT didn’t begin with autism — its earliest research was in depression. As clinicians saw MERT regulate brain networks, the potential for wider use became clear.
When I witnessed what MERT did for my daughter — improved language, awareness, and connection — I realized it worked on fundamental brain regulation, meaning its applications could span many neurological and psychiatric conditions.
As our clinics expanded, we partnered with psychiatrists, neurologists, and trauma specialists, and saw powerful results in anxiety, PTSD, and treatment-resistant depression. Veterans sleeping again, anxious individuals finding calm, and adults experiencing emotional stability after decades of struggle.
But the biggest surprise came from something we weren’t initially focusing on:
MERT works significantly better in individuals who also improve their gut health.
Acknowledging the gut–brain connection changed everything. We found that patients with lower inflammation, healthier microbiomes, and better gut function responded faster and more consistently to MERT.
MERT is a phenomenal brain tool — but its maximum potential is unlocked when the body, especially the gut, is supported.
This insight reshaped our entire model and confirmed that true healing requires an integrative, whole-person approach.
Balancing clinical work with public advocacy is one of the most meaningful parts of my mission. Extraordinary transformations happen in our clinics daily, but if those stories remain inside the clinic, the larger narrative around autism never changes.
A turning point for me was realizing that autism is not just a neurological label — it is a collection of underlying medical issues. I was told my daughter would never speak, never be independent — but that wasn’t true. She had multiple medical issues: inflammation, gut problems, immune challenges. Once we treated those issues, her entire prognosis changed.
What shocks me is that 17 years later, parents are still hearing the same outdated messages:
“You can’t change this.”
“There’s nothing you can do.”
“Here are medications — that’s all.”
That is why advocacy is not optional for me.
Once you know the truth — that autistic children are medical patients with treatable issues — you cannot stay silent. Visibility in the media allows me to reach parents who are losing hope, who have never been told to investigate root causes, who believe they’ve run out of options.
My public presence helps rewrite the narrative:
A diagnosis is not a destiny.
Advocacy is not separate from my clinical work — it is an extension of it.
Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for shifting thinking and making complex science accessible. Everything I am creating — the book, documentary, and additional projects — extends my mission to show that autism has clear, measurable medical roots, and that meaningful improvement is possible through precision medicine.
In our clinics, we see measurable changes every day — EEGs stabilizing, microbiomes rebalancing, inflammation normalizing, and behaviors improving in direct correlation with medical findings. These are not anecdotes — they’re data-driven outcomes.
But unless this information is shared with the world, the medical system doesn’t evolve.
A documentary allows families to connect emotionally while seeing scientific proof. A book gives parents and clinicians a roadmap supported by research and real protocols.
These projects aim to shift two major groups:
For families:
To understand that a diagnosis is not a destiny, and there are medical root causes that can be treated.
For the medical community:
To initiate conversations about the brain–gut–immune connection, and push for a higher, data-driven standard of care.
If even one doctor begins looking deeper, or one family gains clarity, these projects will have fulfilled their purpose.
When I think about my legacy, I want the world to understand that autism is not a simple, catch-all explanation for a child’s struggles. Today, every symptom is blamed on the diagnosis, and almost no one asks why these symptoms exist.
My mission has been to shift that narrative.
I want to be remembered as someone who stood up and said: autism is not one thing — it is a label placed on children who have underlying medical issues that can and should be investigated.
Most importantly, I want autistic people to be seen as human beings first. Children with dignity, needs, emotions, and stories happening inside their bodies — not a diagnosis to be dismissed.
I want families to remember me as someone who gave them clarity when they were only offered limitations — someone who helped them see that their child’s behaviors have medical causes that can be identified and addressed.
If the world begins recognizing autistic individuals as whole humans whose medical needs deserve real investigation, then my legacy will be exactly what I hoped for.
I want this movement to outlive me — for the future of autism care to be rooted in data, medical investigation, and compassion. If that becomes the standard, then I have done what I came here to do.
