About Myron Wentz
Dr. Myron Wentz, founder and chairman emeritus of USANA Health Sciences, delivered a keynote speech at the 2025 USANA Live convention in which he described the cell as "the fundamental unit of life" and stated that health begins at the cellular level. He said that nourishing, protecting, and feeding cells with the right nutrients allows them to repair themselves, providing health and longevity. Wentz criticized most nutritional products available as inadequate for supplying the needs of the cell and protecting against environmental toxins. He introduced Dr. Katherine Armstrong as the company's new Chief Scientific Officer, saying she is there to strengthen USANA's foundation with "science-based evidence, rigor, and integrity." Wentz also said USANA should be "educators, advocates, protectors" and that the company will always be a cellular nutrition company.
In a separate biographical video released in 2025, Wentz recounted his early career, including founding Gull Laboratories in 1974 and developing more than 30 FDA-approved diagnostic tests, most prominently the Epstein-Barr virus test. He said that after reading the label of a nutritional supplement, he concluded that the ingredients would not sustain cells in his laboratory, which led him to found USANA in 1992 to produce science-backed nutritional products made in a pharmaceutical-grade facility. Wentz stated that his vision for USANA was to "develop the highest quality science-based nutritional products possible." He also said he believes the role he was given in life "will not and should not end when my life ends" and that the mission must be carried on.

Hello, I'm Dr. Myron Wentz, the founder of Sanoviv Medical Institute. Sanoviv is a state-of-the-art healing center, hospital, and research facility. It could change your life forever. I have spent the last 40 years studying the intricacies of human cells: what makes them grow and flourish, and what makes them degenerate and eventually die. By cultivating human cells in a healthy laboratory environment free of toxins and with the proper nutrients, I learned what was necessary to grow healthy human cells. Moreover, I discovered that it is possible to reverse degeneration and disease. Encouraged by my successful research in human cell culture, I began to imagine creating a healing center that addresses an individual's health at the cellular level. This center would employ the newest advances in diagnostics, treatment, nutrition, and detoxification. I set out to create the hospital of the future. This is what I envisioned: a beautiful, immaculate, non-stressful environment that honors the relationship between the mind and body in achieving health; a place that employs only toxin-free building materials and furnishings free of electromagnetic fields and toxic chemicals; a research hospital where the finest medical minds work together with you to properly diagnose any illness and to design a treatment program to reverse the degeneration and cellular damage that may have already occurred; a place where your cells are flooded with the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients they need to repair and heal. So I created Sanoviv Medical Institute. The results we are achieving in battling degenerative diseases are outstanding. Our guests have experienced everything from cancer remissions to elimination of their reliance on medication, insulin, painkillers, and other treatments that merely mask their symptoms but did not address the cause of their illness. I urge you to visit Sanoviv. Whether you are in good health and would like to stay vibrant and healthy, or are suffering from an illness such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, obesity, or fibromyalgia, we will create a diagnostic program and treatment plan that is designed to fortify the body's natural ability to heal itself. On our website, you can see and hear the testimonials of those who have had remarkable results at Sanoviv and are eager to tell the world of the transformation in their health and their new outlook on life.
