Real Client Experiences
Hearing from clients who have successfully improved their health is one of the most rewarding parts of the work at Martha McKittrick Nutrition. Each person’s journey is unique, and the goal is always to create practical, sustainable nutrition habits that fit real life.
Below are stories from individuals who have experienced positive changes through personalized nutrition guidance and support and praise from media organizations who have partnered with Martha.
I’ve been faithfully following the plan you created for me. My weight dropped from 140 to 118 pounds, and I’m thrilled that my blood sugar and cholesterol are now well within the normal range. After years of searching for the right approach, I finally found something sustainable. People often ask how I lost the weight and I’m happy to share my experience working with you.
Charlotte S.
Thank you for changing my life. The eating plan you gave me three months ago was easy to follow, practical for a busy New York lifestyle, and fit perfectly with life on the go. I lost 20 pounds in three months, my A1C and glucose are now normal, and I plan to keep it that way. I’ve lost 3½ inches from my waist, dropped more than a pant size, and feel better than I have in over 25 years. What once felt overwhelming became a truly positive and sustainable way of eating.
Tom T.
I lost 30 pounds in 8 months on your plan. And even better, my HBA1c went from 7.5 to the normal range! I avoided staying off medication which was of my major goals. You made it easy by keeping in the foods I like to eat. No diet or gimmicks. I have more energy than before yet as just as strong when I weight train. Thank you!
Mike G.
After being diagnosed with prediabetes, navigating a lower-carb lifestyle felt overwhelming. Working with Martha made it much easier. She is kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. After several phone sessions, I lost 36 pounds in eight months, my blood pressure and blood sugar returned to normal, and I feel great. I highly recommend Martha if you’re looking for lasting health improvements.
Caron A.
I’m so excited that Martha helped me get my blood sugar out of the diabetes range. She helped me set small, manageable goals, which made the process feel doable. I have much more energy now and actually look forward to exercising. My skin is clearer and I’ve even lost 10 pounds. I didn’t think this was possible with PCOS. Thank you so much.
Lilah C.
My A1C rose from 5.6 to 6.0, putting me in the prediabetes range, so I reached out to Martha for help. She showed me how carbohydrates, portions, and food choices affect blood sugar and helped me create a realistic plan. Most importantly, she introduced me to a CGM and helped me interpret my data, so I could pinpoint glucose spikes and make targeted changes. With her guidance, my A1C dropped to 5.7 in six months, and I feel confident continuing to improve my blood sugar long term.
Tom B.
I am still following your PCOS-friendly food plan and got pregnant naturally!!! (we had stopped fertility treatments). I would never have believed that it was possible since I don’t ovulate on my own but I believe that it was to your credit that it was able to happen. I could never thank you enough!!
Judy S.
I have been referring my patients with PCOS to Martha McKittrick, RD, CDE for the past 12 years. They are always pleased with her professional guidance and empathetic demeanor. Her eating plans have promoted weight loss in many of my patients. Since losing even 5-10% of body weight leads to metabolic changes that alter the progressive changes of the metabolic syndrome and the effects of excessive insulin, her outline of treatment has helped reduce the impact of excessive weight in this syndrome.
Dr. Walter Futterweit
I have PCOS and attributed that to being overweight. I began working with Martha and I lost 40 lbs in 8 months. I went from a size 12 to a size 4. I learned how to lose weight as well as how to maintain it.
Lise C.
I have been referring my patients with PCOS to Martha for over 15 years. Her expertise in diet for PCOS has helped many of my patients with their symptoms as well as with weight loss. She truly understands the nutritional needs of women with PCOS.
Geoffrey Redmond, MD
My favorite thing about you was that you not only believed me about my PCOS symptoms, but you just knew what I was talking about from the start. It was like finally meeting someone who spoke the same language. You are so knowledgeable and affirmative.
Talia B.
Martha is a lifesaver & the BEST PCOS expert I have experienced in three countries over 14 years. She has excellent delivery and is a master at breaking information into smaller pieces in a way anyone can follow & understand & have success! Her encouragement & teaching style are unmatched! I finally feel like I can manage my PCOS
Christi B.
After meeting with Martha, my life took a drastic turn for the better. Following her nutrition plan, I feel more energized, less bloated, and for the first time my digestive system feels regulated.
Earlene C
I was referred to Martha by my longtime GI doctor after we ran out of medical options. She is knowledgeable, attentive, organized, and nonjudgmental. I’ve seen a big improvement in my symptoms after following Martha’s advice. Her follow-up is excellent, and I trust her recommendations completely.
Cynthia F.
Martha truly changed my life. For the first time in over twenty years, I became IBS symptom free thanks to the nutrition program she created for me. She identified the underlying issues and developed a plan that finally worked. Martha is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance.
Allie O.
We’re incredibly grateful for my daughter’s nutritionist, who helped her manage both PCOS and ulcerative colitis symptoms in conjunction with GLP1 treatment. Martha developed a thoughtful and personalized approach. My daughter felt heard, supported, and saw real improvements. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for compassionate, knowledgeable nutritional guidance for their child.
Danielle M
I’ve worked with Martha for over 20 years, and her guidance has made a lasting difference in my health. When I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, she helped me manage my blood sugar with diet alone so I didn’t need insulin. Over the years she has also helped me address issues like bloating, digestion, and weight gain with practical changes that fit my lifestyle. Martha listens carefully, understands my eating habits, and always offers advice that truly works for me.
Linda F
I struggled with GI symptoms for nine months that significantly affected my quality of life. I saw multiple doctors and had many tests done without clear answers. Working with Martha made all the difference. She took a true detective approach, helped identify SIBO, and guided me every step of the way.
SIBO wasn’t the only cause of my symptoms, and some issues are still being worked through, but Martha helped me research treatment options and navigate next steps. With her guidance, including a low FODMAP diet, supplements, and acupuncture, I’m about 90% better. I’m incredibly grateful for her support.
Evan H.
Martha makes dieting manageable and realistic.I felt totally supported by her generous and caring attitude and she never made me feel ashamed of my ‘slip-ups’. And, for the first time ever, I was able to lose weight at a slow and steady pace without feeling deprived.
Joanne F.
My biggest challenge was managing food and drinks while being out socially so often. Martha didn’t just teach me how to diet. She helped me change my lifestyle. Since working with her, I’ve lost about 30 pounds, and her support and motivation have made all the difference.
Sari C
Martha doesn’t do the work for you, but she is a fantastic coach and true expert. I lost 50 pounds and have kept it off, making my seventieth birthday especially meaningful. I look forward to continuing to work with her to maintain my healthy lifestyle.

I came to you for help with lowering my triglycerides and you gave me a ton of helpful information. That was three months ago and I just had my blood drawn and tested again today, and my triglycerides dropped 50 points! My doctor says that I am no longer in a risky zone, and won’t have to take medication. This is directly a result of your help, and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it.
Kevin C.
With your recommendations my cholesterol went from 279 to 201 in three months. LDL is down as well. Thank you for putting me back on course.
Sigrid S.
With your guidance and expertise we have changed the way our entire family eats. My husband’s cholesterol went way down and his LDL dropped significantly. He has lost weight and looks fantastic (might I even say younger). Eating healthy does not mean not eating or not enjoying, it’s all about knowing what to eat and what to look out for. Thank you for making us all healthier!
Heather S
I wanted to express my thanks for the wonderful impact you had on my husband and I. Not only as a professional but as a person of integrity and class. You helped me accomplish exactly what I wanted to when I made the appointment to see you. I feel wonderful.
Carol C.
After retirement, my weight gradually increased due to less activity, travel, and eating out. My doctor recommended Martha, and our sessions have been both encouraging and successful. I’ve lost 40 pounds and kept it off for two years. Martha consistently encouraged me to stay active, and I now feel strong on vacations, even with a lot of walking. We’re working toward my next goal, and I feel confident continuing with Martha.
Cynthia T.
Martha was marvelous when she participated as an expert on the Nutrition & Heart Health panel at Food as Medicine panel at Hunter College in New York City, for which I was the moderator. It is always great when I have the good fortune to work with one of my fellow registered dietitians like Martha, who has a strong clinical background, many years of counseling experience and is evidence based.
Samantha Heller MS, RD, Host, SiriusXM Radio
Martha is incredibly well-read and a fantastic teacher. Her lecture on Nutrition and Hearth Health to the cardiology fellows gave clarity to a confusing topic!
Erica C. Jones, MD, FACC Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine, Director, Heart Health Program, Weill Cornell Medicine
Thank you for your splendid presentation on “Top Ten Eating Tips for Octogenarians”. Listening to you was a very enjoyable and most educational experience for all of us. Your views were well expressed and most informative. The comments from the participants were overwhelming positive

You did an amazing job as the guest speaker at the Diabetes Champions meeting. I got great feedback and hope you will make this an annual partnership.
