About the Owner, Julie Kennedy, MPH, MEd, RDN, LDN
Several years ago, my oldest daughter, Abbey, and I were both diagnosed with celiac disease. During our diagnosis process, we were so overwhelmed with our new eating plan and the difficulty of strictly avoiding gluten that I decided to leave my 13-year teaching career to pursue a new path in nutrition. I wanted to turn the struggles we encountered into an opportunity to help other people. Some may say I wanted to turn lemons into lemonade. After many years of prerequisite classes, a rigorous Masters Degree program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and extensive on-site training in nutrition and dietetics, my passion for helping others is now a reality. I believe that what we eat can play a major role in our overall health outcomes, and I am excited to help others discover this same attitude toward nutrition.
I want to serve families or individuals as the supportive resource my own family so desperately needed when our world was turned upside down. As a mother of three busy children, I understand the real-life struggles of getting a well-balanced meal on the table every night, even without anyone with necessary food restrictions in the house! During our time together, we will discuss your nutritional goals and current relationship with food and tailor an eating plan that fits your unique needs.
Recently, Julie Kennedy Nutrition has become a group practice and we have brought on a wonderful registered dietitian, Jessica Goff, MS, RDN, LDN. She comes with extensive experience in gastrointestinal nutrition and she would love to help you achieve your nutritional goals.
