Hello! I am Julia Palace, a Registered Dietitian with a deep-rooted passion for nutrition that began during my youth as a competitive gymnast. As an athlete, I witnessed firsthand how proper nutrition could enhance performance and recovery, sparking my interest in the science behind food and health. Growing up in a family that grappled with weight issues further motivated me to explore the transformative potential of nutrition in fostering both physical and mental well-being. After receiving my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, I am now dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve their health goals through evidence-based nutrition strategies. 

 

My interest areas fall within preventative health, weight management, diabetes, heart health, and oncology. I understand that having discussions regarding weight and food choices can be challenging, so I make sure that I approach everyone with empathy and understanding, creating a supportive environment that is free from judgment. I am also mindful of the fact that many things can influence nutrition intake- sleep, stress, busy schedules- and work with people to address issues at their root cause. My philosophy is to meet clients where they are in order to make sustainable, long-term changes to improve health and well-being.  

 

In my free time, I enjoy cooking and creating new recipes, taking walks outside, spending time at the beach, and relaxing with friends and family. 

 

I firmly believe that food is medicine, capable of preventing and managing health conditions when approached mindfully and with knowledge. I look forward to providing you with that knowledge, as well as guidance and ongoing support, as you take a step to improve yourself and your quality of life.
