Natasha Uspensky came into my life exactly when I needed her. I had been getting sick…read morefrequently--like, every two or three weeks. I tried traditional medications, doctor visits, and even acupuncture, with no results. Finally, it occurred to me that my diet might be playing a bigger role than I had considered before. I interviewed a handful of nutritionists, and something about this girl just felt right. She was real; it was like I was talking to an insta-friend, you know? She's the perfect balance of knowing your stuff and making it accessible, and I feel like I can tell her anything with no judgement on her part. "Why, yes, I did just wash down an enormous bagel and chocolate chip cookie with 2 Cokes" might be met with, "Okay, how can we do better next time?" She's gentle, and she reminds you that you have the power over your life. Natasha taught me about self-care, green smoothies (tried one yet? Life changing, hand to God), and about candida. With her guidance and expertise, I've been able to make complete overhauls to my way of eating--and my entire life! I've banished sugar cravings and gotten off the soda wagon, which I never thought would have even been possible. I treat myself and my body like it deserves the best now, because it does. (We only have one, right?) I feel healthier and have more energy every day because of the wisdom this girl has given me. Natasha is nothing short of a miracle.

I guess the easiest thing to say is that Natasha completely changed my life. When I signed up with…read moreher, I was a stressed out mess with a horrible relationship with food. I barely ate during working hours, starved through a miserable gym session, and then binged at dinner on processed 'fat-free' or 'low-calorie' junk. I lost some weight, but I was constantly tired and spent too much time calorie-counting everything. Seriously, I'd been living this way for years. After working with Natasha for six months, I learned so much about food and lifestyle in general - I learned to meditate, found exercises I don't hate doing, learned to create time for myself, learned to create time for my relationships, etc. I found a new job, lost weight, and I just generally feel better. Every time I start to have a rough time in some aspect of my life, I always think of something Natasha taught me that I can go back to. Talking with Natasha every week is like having a super-positive best friend who happens to be full of incredible advice. If you're looking to make real changes in your lifestyle, no one is better to help than Natasha,

I had initial consultation with Mimi Scheidt and I was very disappointed. Before the appointment, I…read moresent Mimi information about my condition and list of food I wanted to check with her. In order for us to have productive appointment - I asked her to review the information in advance. So, when we had the appointment - Mimi was just googling almost everything I was asking her about. Also, she said she would send me additional information (after the appointment) about specific supplements and about particular tests she mentioned. I never heard from her.

Previous nutritionist have just said eat a well balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grain and protein (like lean meats or tofu). I already knew that And I felt like it was a generic unpersonalized response.

I'm looking forward to our next sessions.

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!!!

A doctor referred me to Lucy with "would you open to seeing a nutritionist?" That was an…read moreunderstatement, like "hey, my buddy Picasso is good with a pen if you were looking for a nice doodle." Lucy is way beyond expectations. 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.

I worked with Lucy for six months and she helped me completely transform my life! I was juggling…read moremultiple stressful situations and life, and I needed to start from scratch to prioritize wellness and find my happiness again. Lucy's like a wise, knowledgable friend that you trust and respect. She gets to the root of your problems and empowers you to make changes in your life, no matter how difficult they may be. She thinks outside of the box to help you overcome whatever your struggles may be. I've never worked with someone so dedicated to me before.

Where do you start with the services I have recieved thus far. Ive been seeing my nutitionist…read moreSuzanne with InControl Nutirion for almost a year now, and she has been great. Not only on the scheduled days of service, but outside of that you are able to reach out for guideance and support if needed. With my specific needs I am supported beyond the scope of " getting a meal plan", they are counselors, guides and an impactful force on my journey to " food sobriety" ( just came up with that, addmittance is key right) and working on silencing the food noises. InControl in coordination with my nutritionist and myself we are achieving great things. I have lost weight and getting to the healthy me I know I reach. They are caring and understaibg of what your individual needs are and you are not "lumped" into a basic bracket. Thank you for the continued support, education and hilding me accountable when needed ( she will do that, no games).

If you're thinking about scheduling a consultation with Jen... just do it!…read more After meeting with several different dietitians over the years, I was truly at my wit's end. I kept logging every meal and reporting back, only to be told to eat fewer carbs and move more. I'd feel guilty when I didn't have the "perfect" week. This approach never lasted beyond my appointments, and I'd eventually stop seeing them altogether. I even met with an endocrinologist and did several lab tests. I was convinced that something was wrong with me -- that I was broken. I considered myself someone who knew exactly what to do. By this point, I had a decent understanding of what to eat (and not to eat), how much, and so on. Between years of meeting with doctors and the endless information online about weight loss -- calorie counting, macros, weight-lifting, and trends like intermittent fasting or low-carb diets -- I thought I had it all figured out. But in June, I was the heaviest I'd ever been, with no signs of change, despite my vigilance at home. And truthfully, living that way wasn't realistic... at all. I was convinced that I had all the information in front of me, but maybe it just wasn't meant to happen for me. And then, somehow, with Jen, it all finally clicked. It turns out this was exactly what I needed. I admit I wasn't entirely sold on the holistic approach at first, but it was clearly time to try something different. After my initial consultation with Jen, I was ready to start right away. At first, I didn't understand why Jen would ask about what's going on in my life -- my routine, mood, career, and relationships. But these are the things that can influence our decisions around food. So often, we're the ones standing in our own way. At least, that was the case for me. Jen's expertise is invaluable -- her knowledge about the science behind food, the practicality of preparing meals, how to indulge without guilt, and the psychology behind our habits. Above all, she teaches you how to still enjoy your life. That's what makes this sustainable. She helps you implement changes that last, not just for the duration of the program. I also never felt pressured to eat perfectly or follow all of her recommendations between sessions. Everything she suggests is genuinely for your own benefit! At the start of our program in June, I set a goal to lose 20 pounds in six months, stop tracking my meals, and heal my relationship with food -- fully recognizing that it might not happen, because it never had before. And that is exactly what I did. Finally. Thank you, Jen, for everything!

Working with Jen was a great experience. I decided to work with her after years of under-eating…read morewhich had led to serious digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and mysterious skin rashes. Jen was a great addition to my holistic healing (which also included a doctor and acupuncturist) and helped me return to a healthy mindset around food. Since I came to her already knowing quite a bit about nutrition and science, I did feel sometimes like she was giving me the same program as everyone else vs customizing to my knowledge level and specific needs. Either way, the 3-month program was a great decision. I learned a lot about my body and what it needs to thrive. She helped me step away from the idea of trying to be "perfect" at every meal and took emotional and psychological health into consideration as well. Highlights: the post-meeting email followups, great book recommendations, she is a good listener and very attentive to details. Could be improved: a bit more individualization, digital copies of the worksheets/information sheets vs printing them out (more eco-friendly!).

I'm so happy I found Lauren Minchen. I had been wanting to meet with a nutritionist for quite some…read moretime now because I'd been confused about well, nutrition. I explained my goals to her and she asked me about two dozen thorough questions, took notes, and gave recommendations to me. She emailed me everything we talked about so I had a quick reference always handy. I felt at ease with her and like I could pick her brain for whatever info I needed. For my very first visit with a nutritionist, I'm really happy and am looking forward to visiting her again. FYI, in her office, there are also a massage therapist, an acupuncturist, and a psychologist. So it's a very mind, body, and soul type of place.

I had my first session with Ms. Minchen today.

We played phone tag the first week, but if you need to reach her it's better to just e-mail her instead. I wish the location was a little closer to my job, but I don't mind the travel since she is exactly the kind of Nutritionist I have been looking for. So far so good. I will see how things progresses with her. But first impression and first session I am very pleased with her.

I worked with Jennifer for the three months leading up to my wedding. It was the best decision I…read moremade. I had tried a wide range of workouts (and enjoyed them), and had a personal trainer for a short stint. While all of that was helpful, what really mattered in the end was better nutrition. Jennifer not only helped me understand how important it was to eat better, but she helped me take the first 10 steps towards that lifestyle. Given my hectic work schedule, it was easy to slip into old habits. I loved working with Jennifer because she combines a passion for better food with the perfect temperament to be a really effective coach. Jennifer provided small, achievable steps (easy healthy meal prep ideas, better options when I had work dinners, impromptu words of encouragement, feedback on recipes). She was approachable and knowledgeable at the same time - someone I felt like I could ping with questions about ingredients and different food options without guilt (I'm posting some photos of her recipes I've grown to love). Chelsea Nutrition helped me achieve a lifestyle change, and I am so much healthier for it. Thank you!!
