Lifelong Nutrition and Fitness - Lompoc, California

Dolly Wuitschick

Julie was an excellent resource and had so much knowledge and information about all my nutritional issues. Very detailed evaluation and gave me a list for all that I needed to follow up on and how that helped me navigate the complicated process of what my nutritional needs are and how to ask my doctor for assistance. Very grateful for her help and this will guide me to success for my health.

From day 1, I felt more comfortable in the hands of Julie then I ever have with any other doctor, nutritionist, friend or even family member! I received info that I needed to receive! And im referring to every,single,time that i speak with her, I'm learning things that benefit my health! I finally found some faith in my situations and actually got to learn more about my own self, Julie is the most down to earth, most "know what I'm talking about" most careFULL nutritionist around! She's patient with my improvement so if you want to get healthier, if you want you're life back.... CALL JULIE!!!

My experience with Life long Nutrition and Fitness and Dr. Julie Chudak was amazing. I learned a lot about my body not only what made me feel so much better daily, but also what did not work for my body, Julie was very supportive and always honest. Her character really made me comfortable and safe to trust what we were doing would help.

Julie is excellent. She helped me where doctors could not help me. I have had digistion problems for decades and no one was able to help me. I just one month my systems have complely reversed and feeling 100 % better.

This review is coming directly from my heart. My journey is unique just like each person on earth, but please try to put yourself in my shoes. Every second in my eating disorder recovery was so intense and the most difficult internal battle I have faced in my 20 years of life. I was in a residential program for the third time up in Washington to face bulimia nervosa for the final time. It took 6 years of happiness from me, 6 years I will never be able to have back. As most of our Lompoc family knows, THERE IS HARDLY ANY OPPORTUNITY TO FIND A DIETICIAN OR OTHER SPECIALISTS IN LOMPOC. When i was planning to discharge from treatment, I called Lifelong Nutrition, not knowing what blessings were waiting at home for me. I was scared- I didn't know what life I would be coming home to. I half-committed to my recovery for so long, convincing myself that half heartedness was enough as long as i can maintain this 'control' over my diet (that was actually killing me). You see, sometimes we think we are thriving.. when in-fact we are only surviving. Julie helped me realize the full potential of freedom with food, and that balance of diet/exercise/happiness. I learned that I DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH A CAVEAT!! I can treat myself and every day doesn't have to feel a drag. I don't have to say no to dates with my friends to get ice cream. I can order a big juicy burger with my boyfriend and not judge myself or mind-read if he thinks i'm a piggy or whatever. She taught me that the journey is internal, and until you address your self love, you will never find that inner peace. THIS WAS SOMETHING I HAD TO TRUST HER WITH.. I COULDN'T FIGHT THIS MINDSET ALONE. Trust me y'all, I am not the type of person who takes advice from people.. even professionals. Julie came at me from an angle that no other professional has before. She was real, she was honest. She came into our sessions with information and printouts explaining other ways to care for myself including and beyond a nutritional aspect. Some dietitians only discuss macro and micronutrients, but Julie is the most effective dietician i have worked with to address other aspects to my lacking diet.. such as not eating THE RIGHT foods, eating TO LIVE and not LIVING TO EAT. She helped me address the way that exercise should celebrate what my body CAN do, and not to punish it for what i ATE. She helped me address the over-obsession i had with food so that i could find gratitude and beauty in life again. She is absolutely brilliant, and combined with her genuine LOVE and PASSION for her profession this sets her ABOVE AND BEYOND any other DIETICIAN IN THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY. You guys, each patient receives an individualized care plan which is tailored to your specific health desires. She really goes above and beyond for each person she works with. I couldn't be more grateful for her. She never gave up on me. Even on days that i couldn't even leave my house, her guidance helped me do the next healthy thing for myself despite the choices i made the day before. Lompoc is so lucky to have her. If you have any notion that your diet may be causing you to not get the most from your life and your relationships, put yourself first for once and reach out to her.

With love and light
