Karyn Calabrese is a raw foodist, model, restaurateur, author, and holistic teacher who utilizes her robust understanding of healthful eating and detoxification to advocate and promote natural longevity for her clients.
Over the past five decades, Karyn has turned her lifestyle into a multi-million dollar empire, introducing a series of vegan restaurants and a day spa to the city of Chicago. Before devoting her life to being a nutrition expert, Karyn modeled for international brands, including Coca-Cola and Budweiser.
She has practiced veganism for over 50 years, and has dedicated her career to teaching how pursuing a holistic lifestyle can benefit mental, physical, and emotional health.
Karyn began her journey after having to say goodbye to the women in her family way too early and as a result of degenerative diseases. Initially a vegetarian, Karyn transitioned organically to veganism, in fact raw veganism.
The release of her cookbook ‘Soak Your Nuts,’ a guide to rejuvenation through a natural diet was a hit and put her on the map in the lifestyle space. Since then, she has opened several restaurants which serve to highlight the versatility of vegan foods, a day spa, developed a product line, and written a cleanse guide.
Karyn’s approach to eating well is designed for everyone, from her star-studded clients to local Chiacogoans. “Our bodies know intuitively what they’re supposed to eat, but we’ve trained them in another way since birth,” she says. “If you start giving the body what it’s meant to have, the results will be miraculous.”
Karyn was brought up in Hyde Park and is committed to maintaining Chicago as her vegan haven.
