Julie’s Health Philosophy:

“I’m excited to join the Rockwell Nutrition Team, and I enjoy helping people obtain better health.  I believe happiness, vibrant energy and good health are very much tied to one another.  Nutrition is the basis of life and good health.  We often get so busy or stressed out with life, we skip meals and eat whatever is quick and convenient and often, nutrient poor.  This kind of meal pattern often leads to poor health.  Years of living a busy, stressful life and/or dealing with a disease or health condition can lead to an inadequate diet and even compromise your digestion and integrity of your intestinal tract.  These compromises can affect the absorption of the valuable nutrients needed to maintain your health.  My goal is to help people resolve their health issues through nutrition and lifestyle improvements, including food and nutritional supplements beneficial for healing and better health.”
