About Julie

I'm Julie Lichtman, a Registered Dietitian with clinical expertise in gastroenterology, mental health nutrition, neurological conditions, and medical nutrition therapy. I work virtually with adult patients across 17 states, and I understand that your patients need more than general eating advice — they need someone who can translate clinical recommendations into a sustainable, real-life nutrition plan.

I believe in open communication with referring providers. If you want updates on a shared patient's progress, I'm happy to coordinate — because the best outcomes happen when care teams work together.

Ideal Client

My ideal referral is an adult patient who is motivated to make changes but needs structured, personalized nutrition support to do so. They may be managing a complex or chronic condition, struggling with their relationship with food, or simply not getting results from general dietary advice alone. I work with both men and women, 18 and older, across a wide range of conditions.

Patients tend to get the most out of working with me when they are:

• Dealing with a GI diagnosis that requires dietary modification

• Managing a chronic disease with a significant nutrition component

• Struggling with emotional eating, weight cycling, or disordered eating patterns

• Navigating an ADHD diagnosis that impacts their ability to eat consistently

• Living with a neurological condition where nutrition plays a therapeutic role

• Motivated but overwhelmed — they want help, they just need the right support
