In this episode, I’m joined by a special guest—a Registered Dietitian, Julia Chien, who brings a deeply personal and holistic approach to healing.

After struggling for years with eczema, she found lasting relief through integrative and functional nutrition.

Her own healing journey inspired her to help others overcome inflammation, gut issues, hormone imbalances, and more through personalized food, supplement, and lifestyle strategies.

Now, she’s passionate about helping others to take charge of their health—naturally and sustainably.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. The key steps to begin healing your skin naturally.

2. How to uncover and address the underlying factors driving chronic skin and health issues.

3. Whether supplements are necessary—and how to choose the right ones for your unique needs.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just managing symptoms instead of truly healing, this episode is packed with helpful tips for you to take control of your health.

Imagine if, instead of constantly forcing yourself toward your goals, you built momentum so strong that it pulled you forward effortlessly. That’s the difference between struggling with progress and making it feel natural.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into how to make progress more efficiently by shifting your mindset. And this isn’t just about weight loss—it applies to any goal, whether it’s eating healthier, getting stronger, or creating a sustainable fitness routine.

Losing weight isn’t like flipping a light switch where results appear instantly. I know how frustrating that can be. But real, meaningful change takes time and consistency. The good news? A simple mindset shift can make the process feel smoother, more natural, and ultimately, more successful.

Today, I’ll walk you through this shift—not because it magically makes weight disappear overnight, but because it changes the way you approach your daily actions, making progress feel easier and more sustainable.
