Julie Palumbo

This week we have special guest Julie Palumbo, a Certified Nutrition Consultant and Holistic Health Coach. She inspires individuals who are on a mission to feel better physically and mentally in order to boost daily energy and productivity. Rather than focusing solely on what one should and should not eat, she focuses on long-lasting habit changes and mindfulness that provide individuals with the proper tools to lead a healthier and happier life.

She is very passionate about women being their own advocate when it comes to their health, and taking matters into their own hands by being proactive.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of actively seeking multiple opinions for health-related issues and not just settling for the first diagnosis. Julie also details her personal experiences with Crohn's disease and emphasizes the need for tailored health plans and proactive healthcare decisions. The episode offers practical advice on how to integrate healthier habits into a busy lifestyle and the significance of investing in one's health for a better future.
