Julie truly understands diet culture and eating disorders. She is extremely kind and listens to her clients. Julie has helped me gain freedom from an eating disorder, at my own pace; Julie will not push supplements or try to make a sale. She is genuinely passionate about helping each individual live a whole and healthy life; Julie has even researched and referred me to other providers when something was outside of her scope of knowledge. I trust Julie fully - her care has changed my life!

Julie Cole is out here challenging society's views on what our bodies "should" look like and what we "should" be feeding ourselves. I am so glad I was referred to treatment with Julie. Last year I realised I was becoming more symptomatic and engaging more into my eating disorder again. Previously, I had gone through both inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, but I felt myself relapsing back to square one. Julie has helped me tremendously with my relationship with food and my body. She listens to the deeper symptoms of the body that even doctors tend to neglect, and works to heal your body

Julie is amazing!! For over 10 years I felt tired, exhausted and kept gaining weight. When the blood tests came back normal the doctors just brushed off my feelings. Julie listened to me, had me take the Dutch test and the results explained all my symptoms. She is now working with me to add supplements and specific foods to help me feel better. She works with me at my pace and never pressures me to make changes I don't feel ready to make. Julie is very active in communicating with my doctors to make sure they are aware of her treatment plan for me. I am so incredibly thankful I found her. She has

I cannot recommend Julie Cole enough. It was so hard for me to find a dietician who didn’t force some diet or calorie counting, but instead understood my history and needs and is teaching me to be okay with food, myself, and listening to my body. If you’re struggling with disordered eating, current or past eating disorder, or just want some guidance with food and education, check her out!

I wholeheartedly recommend anyone who is suffering from an eating disorder or unhealthy relationship with food to work with Julie. She is extremely compassionate and understanding and very easy to talk to. She is also very knowledgeable and intuitive. My relationship with food and my body will forever be changed. I gave her the nickname of “food healer” because she has helped me heal my relationship with food, recover from an eating disorder and helped me to learn embrace my body and to accept it unconditionally. Her experience and compassion and expertise makes her a wonderful dietitian. She

I’ve been to multiple nutrition offices and Julie is the first doctor to help me understand my own body. Not only is she helping me get healthier, she’s educating me on nutrition and teaching me how to take better care of myself. She’s very kind and welcoming, by far one of my best doctor experiences.

We are SO lucky to have Julie in SWFL. She is one of the very few nutritionists here who is very knowledgeable about eating disorders. Her anti diet take on nutrition is refreshing to say the least. She is so passionate about helping others and dispelling the myths of diet culture. She’s absolutely wonderful!
