Marla Futerman, RD

I grew up on Long Island, New York, where my personal journey with weight and health began. As a teenager, I struggled with unhealthy eating habits that eventually led to morbid obesity. I tried countless fad diets and medications—each offering only temporary results. That frustrating cycle of short-term success and long-term setbacks became the driving force behind my passion for nutrition.

For over 35 years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping others improve their health through compassionate, evidence-based nutrition. I have broadened my expertise by working in critical care, bariatrics, cardiac units, and oncology. Having personally lived with obesity, I deeply understand the challenges that come with it, which allows me to connect with and support my clients on a personal level.

I believe in setting realistic, achievable goals because small victories lead to lasting change. All it takes is the first step. Let’s work together toward a healthier, more empowered you.
