Episode Details

EPISODE 139: Ever wondered if alternative or holistic medicine actually works? Does it have a seat at the table with traditional medicine, or is it all just “woo-woo science”? We’re here with answers!

In this enlightening episode of The Longevity and Lifestyle Podcast, we’re interviewing Julie Freeman, a seasoned healthcare expert and co-founder of Intrinsic Wellness. 

Julie packs an impressive resume — aside from being a registered dietitian, she’s pursued psychology, functional medicine, epigenetics, yoga, Reiki, intuitive guidance, and much more. Her early struggle with sugar addiction and obesity, hormonal issues, and a later diagnosis of a rare form of leukemia were all key to her exploration of the profound connection between food, spiritual healing, and traditional medicine.

With 40+ years of experience in her back pocket, Julie's work at the intersection of science and spirituality combines the best of both Western and Eastern traditions, providing valuable insights and hope for those with complex health challenges seeking a holistic approach to well-being.
