I have been struggling for years with my A1C. It has always been in 7.8 to the high 8's. My Dr suggested that a consult a nutritionist for years and was too stubborn to do that. I met Melissa Ortiz of My Diabetes Nutrition LLC at a networking meeting and I decided to follow up with her. I must say I am extremely happy that I did. She is very professional and thorough, assessed my past diabetes test results, diet, exercise routine and medications and made suggestions for changes needed. She made recommendations not demands, she put the monkey on my back and made me accountable. I will say this, in my third month of working with Melissa, my test are getting much better and are continuing in the downward trend. My Diabetes Nutrition LLC and Melissa Ortiz are definitely a 5 STAR organization. Thank you Melissa for your professional and caring help! Rick P

I cannot say enough amazing things about Melissa and the incredible guidance she has given me during my pregnancy. As someone navigating gestational diabetes, I was overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure how to properly manage my blood sugar while ensuring my baby was healthy. From the very first session, Melissa changed everything for me. She is not only highly knowledgeable and experienced, but she is also compassionate, patient, and truly invested in her clients’ well-being. She took the time to understand my unique needs, my cravings, my concerns, and my lifestyle, and she created a realistic, balanced approach that made me feel empowered, not restricted. Her expert meal planning has been a game-changer—I no longer feel deprived or frustrated with food choices. She provided me with delicious, satisfying, and blood sugar-friendly meal ideas that I actually look forward to eating! Her guidance on portion control, carb balancing, and pairing the right foods has helped me keep my blood glucose stable without stress. But it’s not just about food—Melissa’s holistic approach helped me understand how movement, stress, hydration, and even sleep impact my blood sugar. Her practical, science-backed advice gave me real tools to manage my GD confidently. Whenever I had questions, she was responsive, encouraging, and truly supportive—I never felt alone in this journey. Because of Melissa’s guidance, I feel healthier, stronger, and in control of my pregnancy. My blood sugar levels have remained stable, I feel more energized, and I know I am doing what’s best for both myself and my baby. Melissa is not just a nutritionist—she is a lifesaver, a mentor, and a true expert in diabetes care. If you are pregnant with gestational diabetes, have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or simply want a smarter, sustainable approach to food and blood sugar control, Melissa is the best in the field. I am beyond grateful for her and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for expert, compassionate care.

Melissa is one of the most knowledgeable, caring and empathetic providers I have ever met! She is very passionate about helping prevent and manage diseases, especially diabetes. From the first day that I have met her, I could tell how dedicated she is to make a positive impact in her clients’ health with a holistic approach to care! You will be fortunate to have her as your provider!

Melissa was so kind and chatted extensively with me before we started working together. We did the hair sample and even though I was a bit scared to cut a piece of my thin hair - I'm so glad I did it! What an in-depth picture it gave me and Melissa was full of helpful information and actionable steps I could take to rebalance my system after having three babies in the span of four years. I'm feeling so much more energetic and even have a more positive outlook on life 💜 Bonus that she billed my insurance! If you're looking for a kind and knowledgeable nutritionist Melissa is your girl 🙌🏻

Before working with Melissa Ortiz, I suffered from constant diarrhea, severe bloating, and embarrassing gas that made socializing—even with my own husband—extremely difficult. I was afraid to eat and felt emotionally exhausted, avoiding travel, doctor appointments, and even meals because of how unpredictable my body was. After 20 years of suffering and not getting answers from doctors, Melissa’s approach finally gave me relief. Through personalized testing, including blood work, stool testing, and a hair sample analysis, she identified crucial nutrient deficiencies and significant digestive issues and imbalances that had gone undetected for years. Just a month into working with her, my symptoms have dramatically improved, allowing me to enjoy food again, socialize, and even travel without fear. Melissa’s thorough care, attention to detail, and compassion have been life-changing. No doctor had ever taken the time to understand my body like she did. I only wish I had found her sooner. Her services were worth every penny, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for real solutions. Thank you, Melissa!

Excellent person and very professional. Her work really helps a lot with health. I definitely recommend her.
