"My nutrition was a train wreck--fast food at least 4-5 times per week, diet soda for breakfast and lattes, chocolate and salads in between. Max worked with me to develop my own nutrition plan, specific to how I react to different foods. It WORKS! I don't crash after meals anymore, I sleep better and don't have the sugar cravings and mood swings I used to. I would recommend Max Utter to anyone! "
