Who we are

Join us in embracing a healthier, happier tomorrow—one delicious bite at a time.

In 2015, Karen Qualls, a Los Angeles native, embarked on a transformative journey after being diagnosed with ANA, an autoimmune condition wreaking havoc on her body's organs and tissues. Dissatisfied with the pill-popping routine prescribed by conventional medicine, she bravely opted for a dietary overhaul. Through unwavering dedication, Karen witnessed her body's remarkable response to nourishment as it embarked on a healing odyssey.

This pivotal moment laid the groundwork for 50/50 Juice Lounge, a beacon of health and vitality in the heart of Los Angeles. Rooted in Karen's deep-seated commitment to her community's well-being, the lounge emerged as a sanctuary in a nutritional desert. Amidst a landscape dominated by dialysis centers, liquor stores, and fast-food chains, Karen envisioned a haven where wholesome sustenance and spiritual rejuvenation converged.

At 50/50 Juice Lounge, our ethos is simple yet profound: to offer a holistic haven where guests can satiate their hunger while nurturing their body and soul.
