Julie Starkel, MS, MBA, RDN/CD

I founded Starkel Nutrition in 2008 out of a desire to help people experience fuller lives. A few years later, Starkel Nutrition expanded, slowly building a team of master-level dietitians and nutritionists with additional training in functional medicine nutrition. Now our team includes medical nutritional counseling experts in areas including brain health, diabetes, high cholesterol, autoimmune disease, gastrointestinal health, stress and nutrition, and eating disorders, among other concerns.
I work with clients on:
General nutrition and lifestyle counseling and change
Longevity and healthy aging
Autoimmune conditions
And I also focus on:
Developing and managing group programs
Leading the Peri+Menopause Program
I am an avid learner, which has allowed me to dive deeply into exploring the possibilities of helping my clients reach their goals in a sane, healthy, and sustainable way. In the years of being a registered dietitian nutritionist, I’ve had clients work through goals and then come back years later to focus on different goals. I’m thrilled when a client lets me know of their success and happiness. I am so grateful to be part of their journeys.

I have a Master of Science degree (MS) in Whole Foods Clinical Nutrition from Bastyr University, where I also completed my dietetic internship, and a Master of Business Administration degree (MBA) in International Management from Thunderbird Global School of International Management (Arizona State University).

In my former career in international business, I lived and worked in South America and Europe for nearly a decade. My professional background includes the fitness, food, and nutritional supplement industries. Personally, I enjoy hiking, skiing, yoga, meditation, swimming, cooking, and learning about the body.
