DAVID GUTMAN, M.D.
Lifestyle Medicine Specialist
I’m Dr. David Gutman, founder of Cleveland Nutrition. As a medical doctor that has studied both conventional medicine as well as nutrition, I take a unique approach to treating medical conditions by correcting the underlying dietary and lifestyle factors that are the root causes of chronic diseases.

Kelly lost 50 pounds – and her migraines!
One of the best things I have done for my health and life is to contact Cleveland Nutrition. Dr. Gutman and Betsy are both amazing, supportive and very knowledgeable. They walked me through every step of the program and helped me take back my life! I love how organically I learned my new way of eating and living. Little by little, it simply became a part of my everyday life. Now, I have lost almost 50 pounds, I am migraine-free, and I feel incredible! I will never go back to eating the old way — processed food, meat, dairy and overall junk. Trust in the program and process and it will do fabulous things for you, too!

Dan lost 80 pounds in 18 weeks
In Cleveland Nutrition I discovered a healthy lifestyle that has truly changed my life. I have been morbidly obese most of my adult life. At age 28 I was a whopping 366 pounds! I was accustomed to eating fast food three or four times per day. My excuse was that I was too busy to cook meals at home, as I typically worked 50 to 60 hours per week.
At 366 pounds I was suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gout, hemorrhoids, shortness of breath and chest pains. I had difficulty walking even short distances and up flights of stairs. In addition to these physical troubles I suffered from anxiety, high stress, depression, and low self-esteem.
I tried several diets to lose weight including Weight Watchers, The South Beach Diet, and The Biggest Loser Diet. On these diets I typically lost 20 – 30 pounds, but gained all the weight back within a couple of months. By age 32 I weighed 343 pounds and my gout attacks and hemorrhoid attacks were getting more frequent and more severe. I was seriously considering gastric bypass surgery as a solution. I felt worthless and ashamed of myself. That’s when I discovered Cleveland Nutrition.
In my first consultation with Dr. Gutman we discussed my goals. I simply wanted to lose weight and get healthy to improve my quality of life. I determined that my first goal was to get below 300 pounds. Dr. Gutman assured me that if I diligently followed the Cleveland Nutrition program I would have no trouble reaching that goal. I had some serious doubts because I had tried dieting in the past with little success. My first week on the program I lost 13 pounds and I wasn’t even hungry! I ate full, healthy meals every day and I was amazed at how quickly I began to shed the weight.
At the completion of the four month program I was down to 263 pounds – a total weight loss of 80 pounds and counting! Cleveland Nutrition works for me for many reasons. The educational component of this program has been truly eye opening. Through watching the online videos I have learned how food can help or hinder the human body, and how food promotes or inhibits typical diseases. The knowledge I have gained through the Cleveland Nutrition program is a powerful tool that I use daily to make healthy decisions. In addition, Dr. Gutman has provided me with a treasury of resources for use on the weight loss and wellness journey including a support group, a massive recipe database, and an online community just to name a few. I have found Dr. Gutman to be extremely knowledgeable and very caring and encouraging. Cleveland Nutrition is also a data driven program. Each time I weigh in, data is collected and charted on the computer showing my progress over time. Perhaps the most beneficial part of the Cleveland Nutrition program is that I get to interact with Dr. Gutman individually on a regular basis to ask questions and discuss various topics.
Update: After 5 months I have lost a total of 100 pounds and I’m still losing weight! I am now completely pain free and off all of my prescription medications. My blood pressure and cholesterol are significantly lower. I now have increased energy, self-esteem and confidence. I now look forward to exercising and eating healthy each day.

Tom improved his diabetes
Dr. Gutman,
I wanted to thank you again for your life-changing Cleveland Nutrition program. I’m 58 years old. I was diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol at 38 years old and started on all the medicines.
I had tried all the low fat and low carb diets without success.
When I started this program on February 29th I weighed 225 pounds, was taking 34 units of insulin, 40 mg of a statin (cholesterol medicine), and 40 mg of a high blood pressure medicine daily. Four months later I now weigh 183 pounds, take 0 insulin, 0 cholesterol medicine, and 0 high blood pressure medicine. I lost 6 1/2 inches in my abdomen. I feel great, have excellent energy, and sleep better than ever. All aspects of my life have improved. At first it was hard to do but after a few weeks in it became very easy. This was one of the best decisions I made in my life. I look forward to living this lifestyle for many more healthy years. I want to thank you again for your knowledge and unparalleled dedication.
Tom
