Today we’d like to introduce you to Julie Kennedy
Hi Julie, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Almost 30 years ago, I was in undergraduate nursing school at TCU, and was diagnosed with discoid lupus. The medication that I was given made me more sick than discoid lupus itself. I knew that there had to be a better way! I began to research natural treatments to my autoimmune issue. Over the past almost 30 years, I have naturally treated myself through depression, anxiety, mold toxicity, other autoimmune issues, hypothyroidism, and allergies. It is my mission to give back to others and help them heal in a more holistic way!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It is definitely not been easy! I didn’t know about functional medicine until 12 years ago. I have pieced together providers and treatments plans to work torwards healing. As a functional medicine provider, I now have a better foundation to help others. I am constantly learning and growing!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a functional medicine nurse practitioner and integrative nutrition health coach. I am passionate about helping others with autoimmune issues, gut health, mold toxicity, mental health issues, and longevity. I am most proud of finishing my doctorate while working, going through health issues, and getting a divorce. What sets me apart is that I have been through the personal and physical issues that I focus on in my practice. That cannot be taught in a book, only through experience.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
I define success by measuring the number of people that get well in my practice. With the right treatments and hard working patients, I see people heal daily! It is amazing to see how powerful the body is with healing!
