Karthika Thirugnanam is very compassionate and truly cared for my well being. She is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to ensure that I understand the steps I need to take. She is patient and listens so closely as I feel she really knows me and has helped me with both losing weight and keeping it off. I’m also thankful to her for helping me deal with inflammation and improving my autoimmune issues. I highly recommend Karthika.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Karthika to address my health and wellness goals. I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I had my consultation, I was impressed by how warm and professional she was. She took the time to thoroughly understand my dietary preferences, lifestyle, and health concerns. Her personalized approach ensured that the guidance and recommendations provided were tailored specifically to my needs. I appreciate how she took into consideration not only my physical health but also my emotional well-being. As I followed the plan, I began to notice positive changes in my energy levels and overall sense of well-being. We adjusted a few things as needed and as a result the weight came off as well. If you are seeking a knowledgeable, results-driven nutritionist to guide you on your health journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Karthika. I am glad I found such a dedicated professional to support me in achieving my health goals!

My sessions with Karthika get me on the right track physically and mentally. I am grateful that I get to have a session each week to help me reach my goals. My mindset has shifted in a positive direction with Karthika’s guidance. My last visit was a great one, I am feeling motivated and energized to get the next 13 pounds off! Thank you !
Karthika is professional and incredibly knowledgeable. She takes the time to understand your specific goals but also helps you prioritize what matters the most for your long term health....no quick fixes, real meaningful life changes.
Working with Karthika has been wonderful. As a vegetarian I was struggling with getting the right protein in my diet. She really helped me understand how to eat well without feeling like I was giving anything up. I originally started to help reduce my cholesterol and improve my blood test results. Karthika helped me with not only getting all of my numbers in check, but also figuring out issues I’ve had with my gut for years!! Highly recommend!
I have worked with Karthika from Food and Fitness Pro for the past 6 months. She not only helped me lose weight but also made me understand the importance of macros and micros. She reviewed my blood test results and recommended how to improve my micronutrients. She shared a lot of resources regarding making appropriate food choices for snacks and meals. She is always available to answer a question I have via email. Karthika was able to understand the South Asian culture that I belong to and I didn’t need to give up my Indian food. Instead she helped me substitute with healthier Indian foods. Working with her I have learned habits that are sustainable and long term.
I have been working with Karthika for over a year, and I am grateful for her incredible support and commitment to my health. She is compassionate, has extensive knowledge of nutrition, and is very thorough. She was able to help me resolve my stomach issues, help me achieve successful weight loss, and improve my overall health. If you are searching for a nutritionist who can truly make a difference in your health journey, I highly recommend Karthika.
