JULIE LIPOWSKI, RDN, LD

Julie has been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) for over 18 years, specializing in eating disorder nutrition therapy and individualized nutrition counseling. She has worked in a variety of settings, including clinical dietetics, outpatient day treatment eating disorder programs, consulting, and education. Julie is passionate about helping individuals develop a healthy relationship with food and learn how eating can support their overall well-being.

Julie’s interest in nutrition began while attending Youngstown State University, where she played Division I volleyball and experienced firsthand how food and exercise enhance quality of life. This inspired her to pursue a career as a Registered Dietitian.

She gained extensive clinical experience at Lake Hospital Systems, where she worked as a clinical dietitian. Julie quickly realized her passion for one-on-one nutrition counseling and group education, which led her to a role at Laurelwood Hospital’s Eating Disorder Unit. There, she collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to provide evidence-based care for individuals struggling with eating disorders. She later joined the Cleveland Center for Eating Disorders, supporting adults in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and binge eating disorder programs.

In May 2014, Julie launched her private practice, where she continues to provide virtual nutrition counseling for individuals with eating disorders and disordered eating. Private practice allows her to meet her clients’ needs while balancing her family life.

Julie earned her BS in Nutrition with a minor in Psychology from Youngstown State University in 2002 and completed her dietetic internship at Family Health Council in Pittsburgh in 2004. Outside of work, she enjoys volleyball, downhill skiing, and cooking for family and friends.
