I came to Karen recently for help with digestion and side effect issues from having pelvic radiation and chemo ending in July 2024. I had never had these issues before treatment. Since that time I have had many gastrointestinal issues with much discomfort and irregularities in processing foods. No doctor helped with advice and there are many suggestions on google but it was all very confusing. Karen put me on an anti-inflammatory diet. I have been on it for only 21 days and I feel 100% better. For 15 months I suffered with daily and nightly pain in various parts of my abdomen and chest and basically difficulty with the entire digestive tract. This is such clean eating and while sometime in the future I will enjoy a food I miss eating, I will largely stick to this plan. I'd rather feel good than have foods that cause havoc. Karen was generous with her time and interest in your journey. She's worth it! I'm very happy I called her. read more

I started talking to Karen 4 1/2 months ago when I had been in pain (in my chest area) for almost 2 years and doctors could not diagnose my problem. I was also extremely agitated from being in that pain so long... She highly recommended that I try to clear the inflammation out of my body... So she recommended an anti-inflammatory diet for me... She gave me a list of foods to stay away from, and foods that are noninflammatory And I have religiously stuck to this regiment for almost 5 months... I now feel SO MUCH BETTER... I have lost 24lbs (A true added bonus). My emotions are much better . Less irritable... My energy level is so great now... I just cannot thank Karen enough for this help.. And I would recommend anyone who wants to feel better physically, lose weight, or learn to eat right to Karen. She is , in my opinion, an angel on this earth! Denny Pezzin read more

I've fluctuated with my weight my entire life. This time, I was at my whit's end and feeling like I was close to hitting rock bottom. My husband (who's done work for Karen in the past) suggested I go see her. Little did I know that she would completely transform me not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. I call her my guiding light because without her I don't know where I would be right now. Not only is she unbelievably knowledgeable in nutrition but she's encouraging, firm when she needs to be and helped me lose over 30 pounds and still going! I posted a picture of my transformation so you can see for yourself. It's really amazing seeing the changes your body can make by eating the right foods, working out and most importantly, seeing the right nutritionist! Karen is your person. She makes a detailed eating plan for your specific needs and helps you understand that it's not always about the number on the scale, there's lots going on behind the scenes. I'm feeling better than ever and I attribute that to Karen. I would highly recommend making an appointment right now! It will change your life! read more

I went to Karen because I had two clients go to her and have incredible results! One is still losing weight! I had been working with her for 10 years and this is the first time she has lost and kept her weight off. I didn't need to lose much weight (or really any) but I wanted to feel better! I knew my body fat % was a bit higher than I was used to. So, I was hoping to get back to my old body fat % and feel better! her tips were easy to follow and in the first 6 sessions with her I got back down to my old body fat % and was able to do her tips while traveling! I send all my clients her way! read more

I started going to Karen after some food sensitivity issues were affecting my quality of living severely. What a blessing I went to her when I did. My body was inflamed, effecting my sleep, digestion, mood, ability to exercise and be mobile. Karen pushed me into the deep end of the pool by putting me on a strict detox. I was nervous at first because, well, I love my sugar, but that was the first thing to go. Karen's plan was easy to follow and she gave me the encouragement and support necessary to tackle such a drastic change. After the first week of the plan my body was making drastic changes that felt good but I was missing my beloved sugar. It wasn't until the 3rd week that I realized I could feel so good, was less bloated, was loosing weight; which is not an issue for me but I realized that I was loosing bloat and inflammation. My mood returned, my cravings for sugar and junk food was down, I wasn't nearly as tired. So when my second session came around I was all in on making serious long term changes to the way I eat. The best thing I could have done for myself was go to Karen. She is really knowledgable, relatable, and considerate of your goals. Now that I know what I know, I can't go back. I feel great. read more

I hesitated to write this review for several months. There are a lot of people IRL who I don't want to know these details of my life, but I think it's important to get this opinion out there for readers. My experience with Karen was not like these reviews. I went to see her at possibly my lowest point in a downward spiral of food struggles. I very obviously needed help--I had lost a lot of weight, couldn't keep up an appetite, and was really trying to get a hold of my food issues. Now, I don't expect one visit with a nutritionist to cure what had become pretty serious anorexia, but I felt so uncomfortable in Karen's presence that I couldn't bear to go back. I arrived to Karen's home office. I had forgotten to print off paperwork and when I said this to her she said, and I quote, "now we get to waste time doing this" in reference to my filling out this paperwork at the appointment instead of beforehand. I was already struggling with the act of getting help with my eating disorder, only to be completely condescended when I made a mistake. JSYK people with eating disorders usually feel pretty terrible about themselves and strive for perfection...making me feel like a "waste" of time isn't the best way to treat a paying client. During the appointment I felt more condescended still. She obviously didn't read my paperwork very well because she kept saying things completely the opposite of what I had expressed. "You really like protein," she said. What my issue is actually is that I hate protein and have a hard time getting enough of it. When I would answer her questions, I felt judged. When she answered to my responses, I felt belittled. There was a ton of pressure to buy her kit that day. It was a $100 protein powder and detox kit that if I didn't purchase it that day, I wouldn't get the deal. Today! Today! I ordered the kit but I didn't think it was anything special. I ended up canceling my second appointment. Karen made me feel awful from the moment I walked in her door when I needed help the most. I have taken alternate steps in my recovery and wish I had not trusted the reviews here. read more

Karen is absolutely amazing. I've been going to her for about 7 weeks now and have lost 15 pounds. Originally when I set out to lose weight my first thought was I need a nutritionist and therapist rolled into one. That's exactly what Karen is; someone who is willing to go through with you step by step and break everything down until you understand. She is funny, professional, attentive and believes in you to help make these healthy lifestyle changes. read more

I don't write a lot of reviews but I thought I had to share this. Having weight and eating problems is really difficult and just reaching out for help is hard. I felt embarrassed going to someone at first, but Karen instantly made me feel safe, understood and like I was in expert hands. Karen had me fill out a questionnaire before the first session and it actually helped me by just doing that! I assume she does this so she could get right to helping me...and she did; minutes into our first visit. Her "take" on my challenges was right-on so we were able to accomplish a lot. I always feel so good after working with her. Food has been a challenge for me since I was in my 20s. (I'm in my 50s now.) But Karen helped me look at it in an entirely different way. She taught me how to still eat food I love (and I DO!) but just love some different food. I still have the occasional chocolate or chips, which according to Karen is fine. That's why I like her: she helps you see how to eat right but in such a realistic and do-able way...you can still enjoy your life! Karen is 100% professional but at the same time so friendly and supportive. She has amazing patience and empathy, which I really needed in order to be able to trust someone to help me with this part of my life. Karen has obviously been very well-trained in the nutrition and coaching fields and she truly cares about helping people live happier lives. I highly recommend Karen and Learn to Eat Right to anyone who wants to improve their life by taking better care of their body. read more

Under two months to my wedding and I have lost over 10 pounds with the help of Karen. She has been super helpful and has help me with my relationship with food. I wouldn't call her Jess and Nutritionist but also a food therapist as well read more

Karen is a wonderful nutritionist. I have been working with her for about two years now to keep my cholesterol and blood sugar in check after a bout with gestational diabetes. She has created a workable plan, along with a regimen of medical foods and supplements that have helped improve all my lab tests! I've been thrilled with the results. You won't be disappointed! read more

I tried calling and whoever was at the phone was very rude. I was trying to ask about some supplement diet, but she just said "I don't know, I am with a client right now." I understand that you are with a client, but I could also be a potential client too! Either don't pick up the phone if you're going to just hang up or act professional and treat all customers with care. read more

Karen not only knows food and how to get the most from what you eat, she also helps unwind any entanglements around how you FEEL about eating. She was a great guide and motivator in getting my diet back on track, and helped me become much more conscious about why I eat. I'm so thankful I got the chance to work with her! read more

After struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember and trying EVERY fad diet and organized weight loss company in the book, I finally decided to seek out help through a nutritionist. I found Karen after reading the incredibly positive reviews on her yelp page. And I am so glad I did! It has always been harder for me to lose weight than my friends and family, so it was fascinating to get to be told what I was missing in my everyday diet (ie a lot of protein) that has been hindering my weight loss all these years. With the guidance on what to eat and not to eat mixed in with the conversations with Karen about WHY I developed my past food patterns, I am well on my way to a new, healthy lifestyle. After a month and a half, I was down 15 pounds, 10 pounds being pure fat, which is shocking and slightly repulsive. I have SO much more energy even now, so I cannot imagine how awesome I will feel in a few months. Now after a 10 hour day at work, I am actually looking forward to a trip to the gym and am rarely hungry. And I know it seems impossible, but after a few weeks of feeling great, you won't even crave the processed foods, something I never thought could happen to me! Karen helped me stop my yo-yo dieting ways of starving myself one week and binging the next. It has been an incredible change in not only my body, but my mind. I look forward to what the rest of the year brings as I continue my journey that Karen helped me begin. read more

Karen is one of the kindest and most caring people I have met! She truly works with you on your specific needs and really takes time to get to know you. I had such a wonderful experience learning from her and she really has helped me change my life and how I think about myself and food. I would recommend her to anybody looking to make a real change in their life and anybody looking to make a real change! She is one of the best! read more

I finally sought out the help of a nutritionist after a good ten years of yo-yo dieting - really a kind of eating disorder now that I look at it in the big perspective. I was convinced that any nutritionist would either be gimmicky or just reiterate things I already know about eating well. Karen was a really delightful surprise. During our first session she inspired an incredible amount of confidence in me, considering that I had come to her feeling totally powerless about my ability to control my eating habits. Much of it came from her ability to really see through me, reading a lot about my personality and behaviors just from a couple of exchanges. The difference is really amazing - before seeing Karen I was basically addicted to binge eating. Now I'm eating 4 servings of protein, tons of veggies, beans, a bit of rice, fruit, some nuts, and healthy fats without feeling like I'm depriving myself of anything. Food is everything. I know I've read that in a million places, but after working with Karen for over a month now, I actually have seen it transform my life, and so I urge anyone who doesn't eat the best they can to consider working with her. Here are some amazing things that I have been able to do since working with Karen: - I have lost 2% body fat and lost around 10 pounds. - I haven't touched sugar, alcohol, gluten, or dairy for over 4 weeks now. - I got off my caffeine addiction for good - I haven't craved junk food at all over the last three weeks and can say with confidence that I'll stick to my eating plan. - I can eat a cookie and just stop there. In the past, I would have known with doom that two cookies meant that I would have eaten the whole box. - I now plan my meals with ease, instead of dreading it and avoiding it like the plague. - I actually prepare much of my food the night before and get it done within 45 minutes. - I can now make it through an intense training session in martial arts without feeling dizzy or faint. - Much of my acne has cleared up on its own. - I can maintain my energy throughout the day, so that I'm actually really slimming down on my to do list and working more effectively towards other goals. - I'm saving a lot of money because I no longer order take out food all the time. - Eating well and having Karen's positive encouragement and advice has made me feel more confident in general, so that I have sought more clients and have even started to make more money. Thanks to Karen's approach to teaching nutrition as a behavior and a practice, I'm approaching life with a completely different attitude now. I have really shed my victim mentality and look at problems or difficulties that arise in my life as opportunities for trying out new strategies and proving to myself that I am capable of handling things. Karen has a really remarkable intuitive ability to not only read between the lines when I share my thoughts around eating, but furthermore, to be able to read the 'eating system' that rules my life. Within the first session, Karen was already producing insights about the real sources of blockage that would prevent me from sticking through with an eating plan. Some of it is psychological, but a lot of it was simply the strategy that I had in place. There are a million different things out there to help people eat better, but I can say quite adamantly that most of those things are b.s. Not because their information is wrong, but because their information won't lead to lasting changes rooted in behavior and the ability to strategize. Go ahead and go on your lemon-cayenne detox. You will lose weight. But you'll never physically rehearse the key behaviors that lead to visible and sustainable changes. I see my work with Karen a lot like working with a music teacher. She's teaching me how to practice effectively so that my life will be more resonate at large. read more

If you are ready to really make a change in your life and how you look at food, then coming to see Karen is the best decision you can make. Although I was not extremely overweight, I was very unhappy with how I looked and I knew bad food choices were a large part of that. In a few months, I have totally transformed how I look but also how I look at food. Karen has shown me how to embrace the right foods and still make them fun and delicious! I have traveled, been very social and still have occasional treats! The difference is that I am always focused on what value the food is bringing to my body-so different than how I ever thought about food. It's not that I can't have it, but do I WANT to have it! Karen is honest, encouraging and really ask the right questions. She has been a great guide on my journey and I would highly recommend her (and have) to anyone looking to truly make a change physically, mentally, and for good! read more

I have worked w/ Karen Cohen for 5 years. When I came to her, I was always sick. Always tired and having ear infections. I went to 2 different nutritionist and many doctors. I had no luck. In fact my condition worsened until I meet Karen. She helped me build my Immune system back. We together discovered I had extreme food allergies and after years of antibiotics, no healthy bacteria in my body I was basically falling apart. Karen researched my specific condition, worked with my doctor and put me on a detox. She taught me the differences between certain foods that my body needed and what I should avoid . After that my condition not only got better but I had energy for the first time in years. We then worked together on my diet and supplements . I felt great, I had energy, my skin had a glow, I got stronger ( before , always felt weak ) and best of all I hardly get sick. No ear infections! I believe in Karen so much , I brought her to my studio to meet my clients. I own a pilates studio . My clients love her. She has helped so many. Besides results, Karen cares and works with you. I truly thank Karen for helping me. I love what I do. I would never be able to teach pilates for hours if I did not meet Karen. Karen's teachings and guidance has changed my life for good. I'm the healthiest I've ever been. I highly recommend Karen for anyone who wants to change their eating habits .She has had repeated success with detoxing, weight loss, nutritional counseling and supplements( specific vitamins/minerals individualized for you) Karen Cohen will help you learn and practice good health and good nutrition read more

Would not hesitate recommending Karen! read more

Karen is simply amazing! I've been going with her around a month and I am so satisfied! She is always encouraging to keep going and to do better! She understands you and goes with you every step of the way. I've done so many diet plans, from other nutritionist to weight watchers, southbeach diet, etc. and by far, I've never seen better results than with Karen. I am keeping this as a lifestyle and its all thanks to her. You would lose weight, eat the right foods and learn how to have a healthy lifestyle. I would highly recommend her! read more

I have been going to Karen for 8 months. I have lost 33 pounds, mostly body fat, but more importantly I have changed my relationship with food and dramatically improved my health. In early 2012 I was diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome X, high risk of heart disease and was suffering with stomach problems, and arthritis in my hips and knees. Thanks to Karen's programs and working with her on a regular basis, I have completely turned around my health. I truly feel like I finally am free of the years of bad eating habits. I now crave fish and vegetables instead of candy and cookies:) read more

When I met Karen, I was at a point in my life where I really needed to change my eating habits to live a healthier life. I talked to Karen about my habits with binge eating and feeding my troubles away with all manner of junk food, and I also talked to her about other facets of my life, until I realized that every aspect of my life tied together. With Karen's help, I realized that how I lived my life affected my eating habits, and vice versa. This interconnection was something that I didn't understand until I met Karen, and now I'm on my way to changing how I eat, because when I eat well, when I'm not overeating, I feel very good. While my road to a nutritious and happy life will be a long one, I take heart in knowing that I have control over how I feed my body, and that is something I will always have, thanks to Karen. I couldn't highly recommend her more. If you're looking to change your approach to food and nutrition, know that with Karen, what you'd be getting is a strong, deeply caring, and dynamic person who will help you get to the root of your problems, before helping you build a new life. read more

I started working with Karen a couple of months ago. I am learning a lot from her, and I am feeling great. Karen built a program for me, for my life style and goals. On each session she checks my body composition, and makes adjustments to make the process even better. Her support is amazing, and I am looking forward to continue working with her. read more

If you've ever struggled with weight or nutrition at any point in your life, Karen can help! I've been having weekly visits with Karen now for about 6-7 weeks and have lost 15 lbs. I've tried all kinds of diets, logged crazy hours at the gym, and agonized about the scale on a daily basis. Since I've started working with Karen, my entire mentality has changed. For the first time, I actually know I'm in control of my eating habits. I can't imagine going back to any of the torture I was putting myself through before. Karen designed a completely balanced diet for me, representing all of the food groups. At first, adjusting to the planning and more regular meals throughout the day was challenging, but after a week or two in, I got the hang of it and haven't looked back since! I used to always have cravings. Every day it was something different. Not anymore. My blood sugar has leveled out and I never feel starved or deprived. I have a ton more energy when I hit the gym, and I'm feel much happier and healthier in general. I really can't express my gratitude with how Karen has finally helped me realize that my goals are within my reach. She's tough on you when you need an extra push, yet caring and sensitive to what will work for each INDIVIDUAL. This is just the beginning of my journey, but now I never second guess if I will make it to the finish line. I plan on continuing to work with Karen until I get there, and I highly, highly recommend her to anyone whose serious about making a change, no matter how big or small! read more
