Let’s work together to build a healthier, more vibrant you—without sacrificing flavor or enjoyment.
Amy Shapiro, Real Nutrition NYC, is the real deal. I came to her at the beginning of July hoping to lose 18 pounds. She fashioned a very doable food plan for me. Within four months I lost 25 pounds. Very happy with Amy's approach and my new bod.

Amy held a very informative presentation on “Surviving the Lunchtime Blues” to my administrative staff. She helped put to rest some common myths and shared suggestions on how to prepare a healthy lunch if you are brown bagging it, healthy alternatives when eating out and helpful tips for everyone to ponder.

From prepping for my wedding to endless work travel to IVF and beyond, Amy has been with me every step of the way. With her help, I’ve lost weight — without juice cleanses or starvation — and built up my arsenal of simple, healthy eating strategies. Amy’s approach is pragmatic and based in the real world.

Amy is a life saver. With her help, I lost significant weight from pregnancy and have kept it off. Her method is all about making healthy eating a way of life but also allowing yourself to enjoy life.

Off to Le Bernardin to celebrate our 36th anniversary at the same weight as when I got married! Crushed the 125 goal.

I'm heading into marathon weekend where my meals are so important I wanted to say THANK YOU so much for all your help and support over there last few months. I’ve got all your tips and strategies down and enough Cliff Shots to run 40 miles! You’re the best and I wouldn’t have survived training without you!
- Taylor K.
Where have you been all my life!? I have done the exact Dr. Shapiro prescription and I'm a new woman! I committed to the changes and I feel so much better now. I knew but I needed to hear it from you and you're so smart to reassure that this wouldn't make me gain weight but instead improve my performance and my overall well being day to day. I had the best run Sunday night and took the full serving of blocks. I ran 12 but I swear I feel like I could have run 3 more. Fire. Seriously on fire.
Thank you Amy, I adore you.

In short, Amy has been truly amazing to work with. Not only is her nutrition & wellness expertise top-notch, but she's really gone above and beyond to understand what we're trying to do and help us navigate our product execution. We look forward to continuing to work with and learn from her as we grow and feel lucky to have her on our team.
