📱
Ongoing partnership
Unlimited messaging, regular video visits, wearable data reviews, and access to our curated partner ecosystem — all in one membership.

Six pillars of lifelong health

Lifestyle medicine is the only medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as the primary treatment for chronic disease. These are the six evidence-based pillars your membership is built around.

🌿
Nutrition
Whole-food, plant-forward eating as your primary medicine. Personalized to your metabolic markers and cultural preferences.
🏃
Movement
An exercise prescription designed around your body, schedule, and goals — with partner gym access to execute it.
🌙
Sleep
Sleep is the master regulator of metabolism, immunity, and mood. We optimize yours using wearable data and behavioral science.
🧘
Stress resilience
Chronic stress drives inflammation. We build personalized protocols using HRV tracking, mindfulness, and retreat experiences.
🤝
Social connection
Loneliness is a clinical risk factor. Our member community, events, and curated retreats build the social fabric that heals.
🚫
Substance avoidance
Evidence-based support for reducing or eliminating alcohol, tobacco, and other harmful substances without shame or judgment.

Meet Dr. Karen Lin

"I believe food is medicine, prevention is power, and every patient deserves a partner — not just a provider."

I founded Manhattan Lifestyle Medicine Collective because I kept seeing the same story: brilliant, driven people whose health was being managed reactively, one 12-minute appointment at a time. As a plant-based enthusiast and Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, I built a practice rooted in the belief that your body has enormous capacity to heal — when given the right conditions.

With three years of primary care experience and advanced training in lifestyle medicine, I partner with each member to create a plan that's clinically rigorous and deeply personal.

Frequently asked

No — and that's intentional. As a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice, we operate completely outside of insurance. This means no billing middlemen, no prior authorizations, and no 12-minute appointment limits. Your monthly membership fee covers everything included in your plan. We recommend maintaining a catastrophic or major medical insurance policy for hospitalizations, specialist care, and emergencies.
Absolutely. We handle your primary and preventive care, lifestyle medicine, and care coordination. You are free — and encouraged — to maintain your insurance for specialist visits, imaging, emergency care, and hospitalizations. We actively coordinate referrals to specialists in NYC and beyond when needed.
Exceptionally well. Lifestyle medicine is fundamentally about behavior change, health coaching, data interpretation, and ongoing accountability — all of which translate perfectly to video visits and secure messaging. We review your labs, wearable data, nutrition logs, and sleep metrics in real time. For physical exam needs or acute issues requiring in-person evaluation, we coordinate with trusted NYC-based partners.
Your annual Core panel includes: comprehensive metabolic panel, CBC, lipid panel, fasting insulin, HbA1c, hs-CRP, thyroid (TSH, free T3/T4), vitamin D, iron studies, and urinalysis. Premium and Elite tiers add advanced cardiovascular markers (ApoB, Lp(a), homocysteine), hormone panels (DUTCH), and expanded inflammatory markers. We use LabCorp and Quest — both accessible at locations throughout NYC.
You can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice — no penalties, no questions asked. We also offer a membership pause option for up to 2 months per year at a $49/month hold fee for members who are traveling or going through major life transitions. We'd rather you pause than lose you permanently.
Not at all. Wearable integration is a powerful add-on, not a requirement. Core and Premium members can share data from any wearable they already own (Apple Watch, Oura Ring, Garmin). Elite members receive a WHOOP device as part of their membership. If you don't own any wearable, we'll work with what you have and recommend the right device for your goals when the time is right.
