Hello, my name is Julie James. I am so glad you are here!
I help active health minded women find the missing pieces to their health puzzle, so they can end exhaustion and get their energy back, to feel healthy and motivated to go after their passions.
Struggling with health issues from childhood, I turned to exercise and pursued degrees in Kinesiology and Physical Therapy. Once on my career path, my husband and I faced infertility and miscarriage, but eventually had three healthy daughters. As a young and busy mom, fatigue began to overwhelm my days. I felt exhausted all of the time despite how much sleep I got, my body felt weak and workouts left me feeling wiped out, achy and sore, I was dragging myself through the day with little motivation, poor focus and brain fog, and I needed frequent naps just to make it through. I was later diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism. At the time, I was relieved to have “the answer” and was convinced medication would take care of everything.
More than anything, I wanted enough energy to be fully present for my family and pursue my creative passions.
Despite medication, the exhaustion crept back in and other symptoms like headaches and joint pain became more frequent and ongoing. I was confused, frustrated, and honestly as a health professional felt a little embarrassed. I thought I was doing all of the right things to take care of my health.
I saw numerous conventional doctors and functional medicine practitioners and accumulated more diagnoses. With each diagnosis came more band aid solutions. As I continued to search for answers on my own, I stumbled upon the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Test. The practitioner that interpreted the test results for me happened to be a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDNP), which I had never heard of. As she explained the test, everything started to make sense.
I implemented the protocol she suggested and immediately felt a big shift in my energy. This is what led me to becoming an FDNP. Using functional labs, I could uncover underlying health issues for my clients and offer personalized solutions. I knew this was going to be revolutionary in the way I could help myself and others.
With my own labs, it became clear that what I thought was a healthy lifestyle was actually taking its toll on my body. I was pushing my body too hard with exercise, not sleeping enough, not managing my stress well and not eating what my body specifically needed, causing imbalances and dysfunctions in many areas.
By having my functional lab results, I developed a holistic self-care protocol of proper nutrition, adequate rest, moderate exercise, stress reduction and targeted supplementation specific to my body’s needs. I was finally able to heal and reclaim my energy to be fully present with my family and also follow my creative passions.
Having gone through all of this I didn’t want other women to suffer like I did. So, I decided to start my Total Transformation Program to help active women in their 30s to 50s end exhaustion and get their energy back so they can feel healthy and motivated to go after their passions.
