Client/Patient Testimonials
“Your Insights & Clinical Input were Enlightening and Quite Helpful”
“Saw you about a year ago for counseling regarding my high blood sugar. They wanted to put me on pills, but I opted for trying a dietary change first. Your insights and clinical input were enlightening and quite helpful. At first, making the changes were a bit difficult but with the help of a little carb counter book watching my diet quickly became second nature to me, and my blood sugar is now close to normal which is good. It was easy to make the changes and I’m glad I did. Now my wife is also becoming more mindful about what she eats. Thanks again!”
~Paul S., Albany, NY
Working With Marianne Made the Difference!
“My physician could not believe my results! I tried other programs for weight loss with limited success. I feel Marianne made the difference since she was so easy to talk to and personalized everything to fit my needs. I had improvements in lab values and avoided taking one medication for blood glucose control and my physician was able to significantly reduce my blood pressure medication. I feel good “on the inside” and look great and am so thankful to have found Marianne. I truly enjoyed working with her!”
~Trish, Colonie, NY
