Sarasota Functional Medicine Dietitian & Holistic Nutritionist
Serving Sarasota and Sarasota County by secure virtual visit, Julie Hill, RD, FMCP, helps you find the root cause of gut, inflammation, hormone, energy, and weight concerns, then builds a personalized nutrition plan around your body and your genetics. Expert functional care, from wherever you are.
Over 13 Years Of Experience
Trusted Dietitian Serving Sarasota With Integrative Care
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. Sarasota clients work with her primarily through secure virtual visits, so distance is never a barrier to expert, personalized care.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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).
Yes. Integrated WellBeing is a 100% virtual practice, so Sarasota clients meet with Julie by secure video visit from Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, Venice, or anywhere in the area. You get the same depth of care as an in-person visit, without the drive.
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.
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. See our Payment Options page for the full details.
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.
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.
Yes. When testing is helpful, Julie orders functional labs and the kit ships directly to your home. You collect the sample (a blood spot, stool, urine, or saliva sample) and mail it to the lab, then review the results with Julie on a video visit.
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.
