Our Founder Story
Changing the Mental Wellness Game
Meet Megan Wilks, the powerhouse founder of The Vitalogy Project, whose personal battle with depression sparked a decade-long mission to flip the mental wellness industry on its head. As a driven professional herself, Megan knows exactly how it feels to juggle life, career, and mental wellness, only to find that conventional solutions fall short.
“I was handed a prescription and told this was the way forward,” Megan shares. “But I didn’t want to live my life chained to medication. I knew there had to be more to the story.” And she was right. With a fierce determination, Megan dug deep into the science behind depression and discovered something game-changing: for many people, depression isn’t just about serotonin—it’s about brain inflammation. This revelation led her to team up with a world-class lab specialising in plant chemistry. Together, they crafted a solution that’s not only natural but backed by cutting-edge research.
The result? Voluntastrols, a powerful supplement developed to tackle brain inflammation and restore mental balance—naturally.
Since its launch in 2015, Voluntastrols has been transforming lives across the globe, distributed through top practitioners and clinics. The feedback has been phenomenal. But for Megan, that’s not enough. “The world is facing a mental health crisis, and we’re only just scratching the surface,” she says. “I want to reach the millions who are still silently struggling.”
In 2024, with the help of business partner Marty Brock, they shifted gears and took The Vitalogy Project directly to the consumer market, determined to put brain health front and centre for more Australians and New Zealanders. Their goal? To break through the noise and offer real, effective alternatives for those tired of quick fixes and superficial solutions. She knows Australians and New Zealanders—just like you—are under more pressure than ever. Mental health isn’t just something you “deal with”; it’s the foundation of success, vitality, and real freedom. “There’s no vitality without brain health. It’s not just about coping—it’s about thriving,” Megan says.
At The Vitalogy Project, she continues to drive innovation in the natural supplement space, delivering solutions that are backed by science, with an approach that’s caring, yet refreshingly no-nonsense. It’s about giving people their power back—and Megan’s just getting started. ‘We believe in helping people enjoy the mental wellness they deserve'. Empowering them to have the mental wellness to continue their lifestyle, do what they love and spend time with those that matter most, through great brain health’.
Megan is launching a suite of three unique and innovative The Vitalogy Project natural supplements in November 2024, ‘Brain Health’, Calm & Relax’, and 'Sleep Health', which will be available online and through leading Health stores and Practitioners across Australia.
