Why I Do This—And Why I’m Here For You.
Julie Wendt, MS, CNS, LDN
Licensed Nutritionist | Functional Medicine Practitioner
Like many women, my real education in health began at home. What started with a colicky newborn taught me, in no uncertain terms, that food can be medicine—or a trigger. With every new family member and health challenge, one truth kept showing up: what we eat deeply impacts how we feel.
After years of being the go-to nutritionist for my own family, I turned my passion for food and healing into a professional calling. Today, I help high-performing women who feel foggy, bloated, anxious, and exhausted reconnect with clarity, calm, and vitality through personalized, root-cause functional medicine.
I hold a Master’s of Science in Integrative Health and Nutrition from Maryland University of Integrative Health, and a B.S. in Resource Economics from Cornell. I’m a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN) in Maryland, and Licensed Nutritionist in Washington, D.C.
My approach is rooted in a simple truth: the body knows how to heal when we clear the noise, nourish the foundations, and listen closely. Using advanced testing, compassionate support, and evidence-based interventions, I guide clients through the healing of complex symptoms like IBS, fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, and early cognitive decline.
If you’re ready to feel like yourself again—clearer, lighter, more resilient—I’m here to help you get there.
How Do We Develop a Personalized Plan Together?
-
Your journey
We don’t make choices about health in a vacuum. I will take time to listen to your story: how you live, what brings you joy, what brings you pain, why you want to make changes and what about them feels hard. We will find a way to move forward, towards your goals, and along the way, I will show you how to make these changes permanent so you can feel better now and in the future. -
Personalizing your treatment
We will look at how your unique genetic blueprint and health history impact your current state of health. We will determine the driving forces that are the key to optimizing your health into the future. I use clinical support tools, such as 3x4 Genetics, stool testing, and cellular nutrient testing to personalize your total nutrition plan and prioritize your next steps. -
The way you fuel yourself
Diving into the specifics of what you put in your body is a key piece of developing a personalized plan. I use professional tools to analyze your diet for vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and fats to understand how your food choices meet your body’s needs. Together we decide where we can optimize those choices to meet your health goals. -
Concentrated Nutrients
I am a food-first nutritionist. I am unapologetically enthusiastic about the power of food to foster health. And I know through my clinical experience that sometimes that isn’t enough and we need to consider targeted nutrients to regain balance and address your personal health history. We will talk about supplements and the role that they can play in meeting your health goals.

“Julie is an amazing holistic nutritionist. She has great knowledge and expertise. But the part that makes her excel in this role is her sensitivity to a person’s emotional status and challenges. She has just the right amount of honoring my personal preferences, needs, and at times skepticism - with her gentle push, presence, and belief in me that says “you can do it”! I highly recommend Julie - her skill and presence is what you need if you’re looking for help with your health related to food and behaviors.”

“Julie has helped me learn about and improve my nutrition and my health for years. I highly recommend her. Julie is very smart, driven and passionate about healthy living. She is an amazing resource. It’s so important to have her help, especially as you get older. If you want to feel better and learn how to do that, definitely work with Julie. She helps me more than my primary doctor. I trust her fully as I know she researches everything and has a deep understanding about how our bodies work. I really enjoy working with her and find the knowledge I gain really interesting too!”

Susan Haag
“I've been working with Julie for almost a year and she's been really helpful. I especially love that she listens. She makes recommendations based on my concerns and preferences and what will work for me, not just her own agenda. She's also great at interpreting/making sense of a lot of complicated data from my labs and identifying priorities and a strategy. She sends very clear, helpful notes after our sessions that summarize her recommendations. She's also very responsive to emails/questions between our sessions. She's great!”
