Interview Q & A's: Dishing It with Julia
What led you to become a certified nutritionist specializing in the needs of women?
“My specialization in women's nutrition was inspired by the challenges I and many women face in maintaining body composition as they age. Observing the lack of specific guidance for women’s health across various life stages motivated me to seek solutions. I aim to empower women with effective, science-backed strategies that support their health and body composition throughout life.”
How does your nutrition coaching address the unique challenges women face at different life stages?
"My nutrition coaching is tailored to the hormonal and physiological changes women experience through various life stages. From reproductive years to menopause, my strategies enhance metabolic efficiency, support hormonal balance, and promote bone health and overall vitality, ensuring each women’s strategy dynamically evolves to meet her needs over time."
In your experience, what makes changing dietary habits so difficult for most people?
"The challenge in modifying dietary habits isn't just nutritional—it's deeply personal and social. Food is comfort, tradition, and celebration, making changes feel like a loss of more than just flavors but memories and rituals. My approach focuses on making this transition manageable and positive, providing education and practical tools that help clients focus on their health goals without losing the joy of eating."
What are some common misconceptions about nutrition that you work to correct in your coaching?
"One of the biggest misconceptions I encounter is the notion that certain foods are inherently 'good' or 'bad.' My coaching aims to correct this by promoting an understanding of nutritional balance and moderation. We focus on how all foods can fit into a healthy diet, which empowers clients to make choices that are not only healthy but also enjoyable and sustainable in the long run."
Can you describe the end goal you aim to achieve with your clients through your nutrition coaching?
"In my nutrition coaching, I focus on helping clients meet their specific health goals while also building their capacity to manage their nutrition independently in the long term. The ultimate victory is when a client no longer needs me! They have mastered the skills to sustain their health independently, though I'm always here for periodic guidance as needed."
Alright, enough with the serious stuff for a moment. What’s your go-to food indulgence, and how do you fit it into your nutrition strategy?
“I’ll let you in on a little secret: I love CAKE—red velvet and white cake topped with buttercream are my absolute favorites. I don’t indulge frequently, but when I do, I make sure it’s worth every bite. This occasional treat is a delightful part of my balanced approach to nutrition, proving that you can enjoy the sweeter things in life without derailing your health goals.”
