New York City Nutrition (formerly Lorraine Kearney nutrition) is incredible. Seeing Lorraine has…read moreCHANGED MY LIFE. I started seeing Lorraine last year because I wanted to learn how to eat a properly portioned/nutritious meal. I am an extremely picky eater and don't really care for meat so for me, most meals usually meant 85% carbs. Through my time with Lorraine over the past few months, I have learned a great deal about what makes up a well-balanced meal and in return, I have lost close to 15 pounds....and I'm just getting started! Lorraine is INCREDIBLY smart, non-judgemental, empathetic, realistic, relatable and I truly feel like she has become a friend over the past few months. She is so easy to talk to and encouraging. She understands people live life and sometimes that means eating pizza or drinking...her approach is a realistic one in that she is helping me learn what makes my body feel good, and is that pizza really worth it? If it is, have one slice instead of two. Lorraine minored in psychology so she really understands how what's going on in our head can impact our eating decisions (here's where the non-judgemental piece comes in). The knowledge she has shared with me has had a profound impact on my life and I truly believe seeing Lorraine has changed the trajectory of my life for the better. I am so grateful for everything Lorraine has done for me and continues to do for me on a weekly basis. I highly recommend her if you're struggling with any health conditions, are looking to lose weight or just want to learn more about food and how you should be eating to make your body feel its best. Thank you, Lorraine!!!!!

I have been on a health journey for the past few years, but decided to see Lorraine as my…read morenutritionist because I was getting tired of the same routine and falling into extreme eating habits. I have been with Lorraine for almost a month now and can safely say that she has completely changed my life and point of view on food. She provides such a comfortable and safe environment to talk about not just food, but my cognitive and mental outlook on my life. Upon my consultation, she made sure to note all aspects of my health and past eating habits, and created a delicious customized meal plan based on my preferences, as I am primarily plant based. These plans also integrate meal prep into them, which has reduced my snacking tendencies, as I can just grab my prepped meals from the fridge. I have fallen in love with cooking at home again and get excited about each meal as they are all so diverse and completely satiate me. It's crazy how quickly my taste preferences have changed and crave her recipes. The 3-month plan I opted for includes weekly check-ins, where Lorraine doesn't mention calories or weight every time, but more of how I am feeling mentally based on the foods I am eating. She is also sure to educate me on certain foods to avoid or gravitate towards which can positively affect my lifestyle. I look forward to seeing her each week because she celebrates every small victory with me. I could not recommend anyone else- thank you Lorraine!!!

Nine years later, I reached out again in Feb 2020 to reset after a couple of years of deprioritizing my health. Seeing Nikki again was like riding a bike - she was as warm, understanding, and supportive as ever. She created a very thorough shopping list with a ton of new brands and delicious recipe options that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Nikki made food shopping and cooking FUN because I could feel and taste the difference of what I was putting in my body. And all super easy to find and make!! Fast forward to COVID-19. I was lucky enough to start doing the work a month before the world changed. By then, I was already used to making better food choices for me and having Nikki by my side. While a lot of people were eating through their anxieties, Nikki's support helped me have the semblance of agency by making the most nourishing and simple meals. While I don't weigh myself, I'm definitely thinner and my clothes fit looser. And I feel amazing all around. More than that, Nikki's guidance is holistic. She not only focuses on the food, but also the mental and emotional. Nikki probes deep to help me get in touch with my feelings and then releasing them. She is the real deal and an amazing cheerleader - during the good and the bad! Now getting down to business. Nikki is super responsive (almost at lightning speed) and she's cost conscious. There's a stigma about eating healthy being expensive, but Nikki finds you options and promo codes galore. Seeing her is an investment in your health, and you learn how to maximize it! Call her. Right now. You'll gain a better appreciation for your health and strength, as well as a true friend and champion.

This is not just about solving a problem or a health issue and moving on. I was looking for someone to help me figure out how to think about my body, eating, and, for lack of a better phrase, get my body and mind in peak operating mode. I came looking for a mentor about nutrition. Lucy has opened my eyes to different views on nutrition, holistic medicine and health, philosophy, lifestyle, ... I could go on and on. She also has a vast network of colleagues who have been helpful to me in other ways. My life has been permanently changed for the better. Yes, I've lost 20 pounds and have a much richer understanding of the effects of different foods on my body, but I also have the peace of mind and mental clarity I was seeking. If you're looking for someone to help you start an exploration of what works for you -- body, mind, and soul, -- I would recommend Lucy and her loving spirit a million times over.

It has taken me years to write this because, quite frankly, I was traumatized. I wish I could give…read moreDr. Karuna zero stars. Dr. Karuna took advantage of my vulnerability in multiple ways. I went to her to feel safe and to address my health needs, but she was condescending, pushed several supplements, and came across as power and fame hungry. I felt that our dynamic was very inappropriate... dare I say groomed. She even claimed that my food allergies weren't "really" allergies and she could cure them. I am sure she has the right credentials (though I'd double check), but she lacks empathy and is exceptionally entitled. She would provide moments of kindness and then prey on me and others. I felt taken advantage of, and I do not want anyone else to be exposed to her very disrespectful practices but I know I'm not alone. And she was so aggressive with her communication style that it was borderline, scary. Do not just take my word for it; she has done this to others. Just read the other reviews. It is cult-like behavior if you remain around her long enough. Please go elsewhere.

I saw Dr Karuna for a very awkward appointment…read more In her office, she had me sit on a high medical table while she sat across the room on a low chair. The room was dim and she had more or less a spotlight on me. I felt very self conscious. I was fully clothed of course but this spotlight situation is pretty much how the whole appointment went for 2 hours... I came in with a very complex case history and a myriad of very severe and urgent medical problems. She told me that I was "just in time for her spring cleanse." I was wondering, how could my symptoms be just in time for your sale? This is one thing that turned me off to her practice. Ultimately she sent me away that day with pink Himalayan salt... when I was experiencing severe neurological blackouts.... The next thing is that her office assistant would not stop calling me after the first appointment. It was bordering on harassment. She said that Dr Karuna urgently needed to speak with me. When I asked what for, she said just come in for an appt. Well, the next appt was around $500... I said, if she urgently wants to speak with me, she's welcome to get on the phone with me. But, she never did. I never returned. One good thing I can say about Dr Karuna is that she told me to always believe in myself and my symptoms and never let a doctor tell me my symptoms were all in my head. It was an empowering talk. In any event, it turns out I have Lyme disease which she didn't bring up, mention or question in the entire 2 hours. One more dr who should have guessed it but didn't in the long list of doctors who missed my diagnosis, leading to late stage. Wish I could get my $ back from this practice to spend on treatments that would help my actual disease, but that would be like getting blood from a stone.
