Over 13 Years Of Experience

Julie Hill, RD, LDN, FMCP
Root-Cause Nutrition Serving Gainesville, Haile Plantation, and Alachua County

From Haile Plantation and Duckpond to the Town of Tioga, Jonesville, Alachua, and High Springs, Gainesville is a thriving community of healthcare professionals, academics, active families, and retirees. Yet even in a premier medical hub, many patients find themselves stuck with “normal” lab results while still struggling with bloating, joint pain, brain fog, or low energy.

Functional nutrition bridges that gap by running advanced lab panels that look deeper into gut microbiome health, nutrient absorption, and hormonal balance. Gainesville clients work with Julie via HIPAA-compliant virtual visits—giving you access to top-tier functional medicine expertise without leaving your home or sitting in traffic on Archer Road.

Your Partner in Healing Through Functional Nutrition

From downtown Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch to Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Osprey, Palmer Ranch, and nearby Venice, Julie Hill works with Sarasota-area clients who are done guessing about their health. If your appointments keep coming back “normal” while you still feel drained, bloated, or off, functional lab testing and root-cause nutrition can help connect the dots that standard care tends to miss.

Sarasota blends active retirees with fast-growing, health-minded communities like Lakewood Ranch, and functional nutrition meets both where they are: supporting energy, hormones, gut health, bone strength, and healthy aging at every stage. Because Julie’s practice is based in Fort Myers, Sarasota clients work with her primarily through secure virtual visits, so distance is never a barrier to expert, personalized care.

About Integrated WellBeing
Frequently Asked Questions

What is a functional medicine dietitian?

A functional medicine dietitian is a Registered Dietitian with advanced training in functional medicine, which looks for the root cause of symptoms instead of only managing them. Julie Hill, RD, LDN, FMCP, uses functional lab testing and personalized nutrition to address the underlying drivers of gut, hormone, energy, and inflammatory concerns.

What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?

A Registered Dietitian (RD) is a nationally credentialed, state-licensed nutrition expert who has completed accredited education, supervised clinical training, and a national board exam. The word “nutritionist” is not a protected title in many states and can be used with little or no formal training. Julie is a Registered Dietitian (RD, LDN) and a Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (FMCP).

Do you offer virtual nutrition visits in Gainesville?

Yes. Integrated WellBeing is a 100% virtual practice, so Gainesville clients meet with Julie by secure video visit from Haile Plantation, Town of Tioga, Duckpond, Newberry, Alachua, or anywhere in Alachua County. You get the same depth of care as an in-person visit, without fighting Archer Road traffic or spending time in waiting rooms.

What conditions can functional nutrition help with?

Functional nutrition can support the root causes behind digestive issues such as IBS, SIBO, GERD, reflux, and food intolerances, along with inflammatory and pain conditions, hormone and energy changes, bone health, and stubborn weight. The goal is to identify what is actually driving your symptoms and build a plan around it.

Does insurance cover nutrition services?

No, Integrated WellBeing is a cash-based practice by choice, so we do not bill insurance and payment is due at the time of service. Stepping outside of insurance lets Julie spend more time with you and focus on the root cause of your symptoms rather than a carrier’s rules and visit limits. We accept all major debit and credit cards, HSA and FSA accounts (with an itemized superbill for your records), and CareCredit financing.

How much does it cost?

Every plan is personalized, so the best way to get current pricing is to book a free 15-minute call. On that call we will talk through your goals and the right fit for you, with no obligation.

What happens at the first appointment?

Your first visit is a deep-dive. Julie reviews your health history, symptoms, current eating patterns, and goals, and identifies where functional lab testing may help. You leave with clear first steps, and your full personalized plan follows once any testing is reviewed.

Do you offer functional lab testing, and how does it work virtually?

Yes. When testing is helpful, Julie orders functional labs and the kit ships directly to your home in Gainesville or surrounding areas. Some labs are collected at home and mailed directly to a lab for testing. Some labs need to be drawn for you at a local lab (bloodwork as an example) and sent out for testing. Once the lab results are in, you review the detailed results with Julie on a video visit.

Do I need a doctor's referral to work with you?

No referral is needed to work with Julie for functional nutrition. If you plan to seek out-of-network reimbursement, some carriers require a physician referral, so it is worth checking with your insurer.

How do I get started?

Book a free 15-minute call. You and Julie will talk through your goals, make sure it is a good fit, and plan your next step, all virtually and with no obligation.
