About Julia

I've spent more than twenty years asking one question:

Can food change how we age?

That question has shaped nearly every chapter of my life.

I studied at Harvard, where I learned to think across disciplines and ask bigger questions. I later continued my education at Columbia, trained at the French Culinary Institute, and most recently studied nutrition through Stanford's School of Medicine. Along the way, I became a mother of seven and built a career devoted to understanding how food influences longevity, metabolic health, cognitive function, and the way we experience everyday life.

My greatest education, however, didn't happen in a classroom.

It happened in my own kitchen.

Like so many families, we faced health challenges that couldn't be solved with another prescription or another quick fix. I began searching for answers in nutrition, learning how the foods we prepare every day can either create inflammation or support the body's remarkable ability to heal and thrive. What started as caring for my own family became a lifelong mission.

Today, that mission is Jolie.

Jolie was created to make exceptional nutrition practical. We combine evidence-based nutrition, culinary excellence, and real-life simplicity so that eating for better health becomes something you look forward to—not another complicated wellness program.

Whether we're helping someone lower cholesterol, improve metabolic health, restore energy, support brain health, navigate menopause, or simply feel stronger as they age, our philosophy remains the same:

Healthy food should be beautiful.
It should taste extraordinary.
And it should make you feel your very best.

I believe vibrant health isn't reserved for a fortunate few. It can be cultivated through the choices we make every day, beginning with what's on our plate.

My hope is that Jolie becomes your trusted partner in living a longer, healthier, more vibrant life.
