Julie Michelson, NBC-HWC, FMCHC
Julie found Functional Medicine while on her autoimmune journey. In 2003, as a single mother in her early thirties, she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Her health continued to decline for over a decade with the sole use of the western medicine approach. She began her healing path by making lifestyle changes. Once she found the underlying causes of her autoimmunity through Functional Medicine, Julie completely reversed her symptoms. She was able to discontinue all of her medications and again enjoys a full life.
In 2017, Julie earned her first coaching certification. She founded Julie Michelson Coaching to support others in creating the lifestyle changes needed to heal and improve health. Julie’s interest in Functional Medicine was further fueled by working with Dr. Howton as part of a collaborative care team. She found assisting some of Dr. Howton’s patients in reaching their goals rewarding. In 2019, she became a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach. In 2020, she became a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, amassing further knowledge and tools to ensure the success of her clients.
Julie is passionate about continuing her education and broadening her knowledge base to cover various health challenges. She became a RECODE 2.0 Certified coach in 2022 to best support those experiencing cognitive decline. She is the creator of Inspired Living with Autoimmunity® and RA the Right Way®, to guide those seeking to regain their well-being and vitality.
Driven to educate a broader audience, Julie is also an international speaker, best-selling author, and host of the Inspired Living with Autoimmunity® Podcast.
Julie co-founded Navigate Wellness Partners in 2022 to provide access to the testing, programs, and high-quality supplements she knew she needed years ago but couldn’t find.
