Meet Julie Palumbo
Hi, I’m Julie the founder of Best Whole Self and the creator of the B.E.S.T. Strategy™ Program.
As a woman navigating chronic illness, raising a young family, and running a business, I know firsthand how hard it is to prioritize your health without burning out. I’ve lived the exhaustion, the overwhelm, and the frustration of trying to “do it all” without a clear plan that actually works for real life.
That’s why I created the B.E.S.T. Strategy™ to help busy professionals lead their health like they lead their careers: with clarity, energy, and intention.

Why I Do This Work
I believe true health isn’t just about what you eat or how often you exercise; it’s about how you feel, how you function, and how consistently you can show up for your life.
Being healthy means creating a sustainable foundation that supports your goals, your people, and your purpose, without sacrificing everything else in the process.
That’s why my approach is rooted in balance, strategy, and real-life tools that help you feel your best in work, life, and wellness.
It’s not about being skinny—it’s about being your Best Whole Self.”

My Story, My Strategy
When I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease the same year I started my career as a financial advisor, I quickly realized that my health had to come first if I wanted to truly thrive. Through trial, error, and a lot of personal growth, I learned how to integrate healthy habits into a demanding lifestyle, and it completely changed my life.
Now, as a Certified Health Coach, nutritionist, and mom of three, I use that experience to help others feel their best without sacrificing everything else in the process. In this video, I share how I went from burned out to balanced, and how you can too.
