Marissa (Meshulam) Karp, founder & dietitian  

Marissa Karp is a NYC based registered dietitian and the founder of MPM Nutrition. 

Karp has a Bachelors of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Wisconsin and a Masters of Science from New York University.

Marissa’s career started at the Bronx VA Hospital, where she saw firsthand how a lack of proper nutrition can lead to chronic disease. She then went on to work at Mount Sinai as an inpatient dietitian, where she worked with thousands of patients who were overwhelmed by nutrition. During her time inside hospitals, Marissa began to notice how confused everyone was about nutrition and just how deep all of our relationships with food and body go. This propelled her to start MPM Nutrition, where she has counseled thousands of clients to help them improve their relationship with food and their bodies for good.

Her FOOD PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE & INCLUSIVE.

Instead of categorizing foods as “good” or “bad” & spending time talking about foods we shouldn’t eat, she works with her clients to help them eat more real, whole foods that fit their preferences. 

Karp is a firm believer that good nutrition is the key we are all given to unlock the door to our healthiest life.

She takes an individualized approach to nutrition counseling, serving her clients by understanding their whole history to then guide them to their desired future. Trained in MB-EAT (mindfulness based eating awareness training), she encourages a mindful approach to food. Karp helps people unlearn food rules engrained from years of dieting and instead relearn how to listen to their bodies. Marissa believes the true key to wellness lies somewhere between the Whole Food’s produce aisle and the line for Ample Hill’s ice cream. After all, life is complicated, but food does not have to be.

Karp uses this knowledge and her voice to be an expert with influence in the media. She has been quoted in Women’s Health, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, Well+Good and more. In addition to her media work, she partners with brands she believes in and helps amplify their voice and educate consumers. She has worked with Simple Mills, Eggland’s Best, Suja Organic, Primal Kitchen, That’s It and more.
