Well hey There,
I’m Dr. Betty
I’m on a mission to REVOLUTIONIZED WOMEN'S HEALTHCARE.
I’m Dr. Betty Murray, a Ph.D. researcher, nutritionist, and entrepreneur. I am the CEO & Co-Founder of The Menrva Project, a women’s FEMTech and virtual care platform providing perimenopause and menopause care and building the future of women’s health and research.
There was a time when I was sick, tired, and desperate for answers doctors couldn’t give me. conventional medicine was failing me and women all over. In frustration, I sought to create better answers and more access.
That’s what led me down the rabbit hole—first as a patient, then as a nutritionist, researcher, and entrepreneur.
I left a tech career after 10 years, earning my Master’s in Human Nutrition Science and then later on earning a Ph.D. in Integrative & Functional Nutrition, and diving deep into women’s health, gut issues, metabolism, and hormones. Along the way, I surrounded myself with health experts for 21 years at Living Well Dallas Functional Medicine Center, where the team implemented evidence-based functional medicine solutions for longevity & prevention and codified a methodology for women’s health.
Today, The Menrva Project and Living Well Dallas Functional Medicine Center help women rewrite their health stories—because we know firsthand what it feels like to be written off. We’re building the future of women’s health.
IN RETROSPECT
I probably should’ve known that the woman who spent nights buried in medical textbooks—while juggling work, health struggles, and a business idea no one fully understood—wasn’t just chasing answers. She was building something bigger. Something that would one day help thousands of women do the same.
CURRENTLY
You’ll probably find me sipping organic coffee (yes I said coffee!) at my desk, buried in the latest research on hormones or tweaking AI and tech protocols to support the development of the Menrva App for the tenth time—because getting it right matters to me.
What lights me up? Helping women finally feel heard. Untangling the mystery of their symptoms. Giving them the science and the soul to reclaim their health. Reminding them that they’re not broken—and it’s not all in their head. Giving women the health they deserve to create the legacy and life of their dreams.
If you’re new here, just know this: I believe healing happens at the intersection of data, science, and deep intuition. And I can’t wait to help you find your way back to the healthiest version of you.
The Beginning of women’s advocate
Living Well Dallas Functional Medicine Center Is Born
The doors to Living Well Dallas Functional Medicine Center opened with one big belief: real healing happens when the whole person is treated—not just the symptoms. We wanted a space where functional medicine doctors, nutritionists, counselors, and mind-body specialists could work together under one roof for real results.
Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner with IFM
I am proud to have been one of the first 300 internationally Certified Functional Medicine Practitioners through the Institute for Functional Medicine back in 2014—and to have deepened my commitment to root-cause science.
A Ph.D. and a Bigger Mission
I completed my Ph.D. in Integrative & Functional Nutrition at Saybrook University where my research examined women’s hormone metabolism and the intersection with the gut and the microbiome. But this wasn’t just about degrees—it was about developing the skills to build complex research models to advance women’s health research. It was about giving women answers. Today, I continue to lead a team building The Menrva Project, an AI-enhanced FEMTech and virtual care platform, while speaking to women everywhere to help women reclaim their health—and their lives.
The Menrva Project is Born
During my Ph.D., I had an epiphany! The future of medicine would be personalized, preventive, and proactive, accessible from your own phone. The Menrva Project was born—an ambitious undertaking bringing AI technology, DNA, labs, earables, and medical treatment via telemedicine for women in conjunction with Menrva Med, PLLC. providing BHRT in all 50 states from the comfort of your own home.
A Lifelong Student of the Body
A Passion for Nutrition, SCIENCE & Medicine
I’ve always been endlessly curious about how the body works—and how to help it truly heal. In my free time, you’ll find me diving into the latest research or building technology models to develop personalized approaches to health and healing. After working with tens of thousands of clients over the years, I’ve learned one thing for sure: bio-individuality is everything. What works for one person won’t work for another—and that’s exactly why I love what I do. That is exactly what the future of medicine is about—you and what you need.
Proactive, predictive,& Personalized
women have been left out of medical research until 1993
Let that sink in! Women in menopause get less than 1% of ALL investible research dollars! This is a systemic issue in women’s health equality that MUST end. I am not only committed to women receiving the BEST medical care available, but I also want to create the answer to the well over 126-year gap in women’s health research by taking research to you, the women out there living day-to-day, waiting for medicine to catch up. This is what Menrva will do.
