Nutrition 101 is the end of conflicting nutrition information. It’s the grounded nutrition foundation your doctors and providers are leveraging. Dietitian-authored, real food, real understanding.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't. A clinically grounded foundation course plus the monthly community access most online courses skip. You learn it. You apply it. You have me when you need me.
A balanced meal is about half non-starchy vegetables, a quarter quality protein, and a quarter smart carbohydrates, with a little healthy fat. It keeps energy and blood sugar steady and takes the guesswork out of meals.
Start with the serving size, since every other number depends on it. Then scan added sugars, sodium, fiber, and protein, and read the ingredient list, where shorter is usually better and the first few ingredients make up most of the product.
A common starting point is about half your body weight in ounces of water per day, adjusted for heat and activity. In Florida’s climate, most people need a little more.
I’m Julie. Here’s why this exists. After 13 years in clinical practice as a Registered Dietitian and Functional Medicine Certified Professional, I built Nutrition 101 for the patients I couldn’t keep watching get confused. I needed a teaching tool to cut through the noise of social media influencers with clear nutrition foundations and approachable answers.

Nutrition 101 is a self-paced online course that teaches the real foundations of eating well, created by Julie Hill, a Registered Dietitian and FMCP. You will learn how to build balanced meals, stay hydrated, handle portions, and read nutrition labels, with recipes, a one-week meal plan, and optionally a monthly live Q&A for support.
It is for adults who feels stuck reading conflicting nutrition advice, whether you are just starting out or simply want to refresh the basics. No special diet or prior experience is needed.
Four core lessons cover the foundations of nutrition, hydration, portions and tracking, and how to read a nutrition label. Four additional nutrition counseling lessons teach you how to implement these foundations into your busy life. And you will learn to build healthy, balanced meals, decode confusing food labels, and see through misleading food marketing.
It is fully self-paced. Most people move through the core lessons in a few short sittings, then keep the recipes, meal plan, and community access for the long run.
Not at all. Nutrition 101 is built on real food and real understanding, not a restrictive diet, so it works no matter where you are starting from.
Yes. It is authored by Julie Hill, RD, LDN, FMCP, a Florida-based Registered Dietitian and Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner with more than 13 years of experience.

This is a great way to learn about nutrition and the foods we eat. The knowledge I am gaining will help me choose the right foods to fuel my body and keep me on the right track to a healthy future.
