Julie Doan - Health Coach I can help you with PCOS, periods, prediabetes, T2D and weight. Ten years ago, I started my career as a hospital pharmacist.

As a Pharmacist and Health Coach, I help people regain their health naturally through holistic nutrition and lifestyle coaching so that they can enjoy a thriving and medication-free life. After closely working with terminally ill patients who took over 20 pills a day just to stay alive, I came to realize that your health is your greatest wealth. Since that realization, I became highly interested in preventative medicine and alternative health practices. I was ready to do whatever I could to maintain my own health. Long story short, I eventually found my way to holistic nutrition. Until then, I had never made the direct link between what I ate and the way I felt. Which is kind of embarrassing to say as a health professional.... In my defense though, they didn't teach us much about healthy eating in Pharmacy school! At the time, I was eating fast food 3 times a week, was unaware farm animal were raised on antibiotics and thought pesticides was a good thing because it kept the bugs out of my food (don't judge, I didn't know any better!). Once I started eliminating the processed foods, the sugar, the dairy and instead focused on eating whole foods, my life literary changed....

The brain fog lifted, the afternoon slump at work disappeared and I no longer come home exhausted and dying to take a nap. I've been living with these symptoms for so long, I thought it was simply normal to have them. I was able to go back to the gym, prepare myself a decent supper (and not just a bowl of cereal) and go out with my friends again. I never knew I could have this much energy. When I saw how much better I felt after changing my nutrition, I knew I had to help others discover what their life could look like once they started eating the right foods. What started out as a self-centered desire (how can I stay healthy) became so much more: how can I help others to stay healthy? This calling has lead me to become a Certified Nutrition Consultant. Combining my 10 years experience as a clinical pharmacist with my knowledge of nutrition, I'm committed to transforming people's health. For more information, visit me at https://juliedoanhealth.com

One of my favourite parts of hosting a podcast is having meaningful conversations with other healthcare thought leaders.

Over the past 30 episodes of The Collective Rx—my personal development podcast for clinicians—I've had the honour of learning from the inspiring journeys of health providers who are redefining what it means to create wellness, both for themselves and their communities.

As I take a moment to reflect on the future direction of the podcast in 2025, I’d love to share some of the most powerful lessons my guests have offered about what it truly means to thrive in healthcare. 💪

Below, you’ll find all my English episodes—and in the next post, I’ll be sharing the French ones.

Because women’s health matters. 

Too often, women’s concerns about their cycles, hormones, and well-being are dismissed, minimized, or met with one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s time to change that.

This is why I do what I do. 

As a pharmacist and health coach, I advocate for women’s right to informed choices, compassionate care, and true well-being. 

You deserve to understand your body, be heard, and have access to solutions that support your health at every stage of life.

These are your rights. These are every woman’s (and human’s) rights.

Save and share this post to help spread awareness. 

What’s a right you believe women deserve in healthcare?

Happy Women’s International Rights Day! 💛

Raising awareness to perimenopausal symptoms 🫶🏻

As a pharmacist, I occasionally review cases for a company that analyzes medication compatibility based on a patient’s genetic profile (i.e., pharmacogenetics).

Today, I reviewed a case of a woman in her 40s who was experiencing only partial relief from her antidepressants.

Over the past year, she had also developed brain fog, new symptoms of anxiety, and muscle pain. Her doctor wanted to know if these symptoms were related to her medication.

In addition to reviewing potential side effects and suggesting alternative antidepressants better suited to her genetic profile, I also recommended that her doctor evaluate whether she might be in perimenopause.

This is because the hormonal fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause can contribute to:

▪️Changes in mood or worsening of depression/anxiety
▪️Difficulty concentrating
▪️Body aches
▪️Other discomforts that can be mistaken for unrelated conditions (and mistreated with medication - swipe left for more details).

As a result, when I receive similar consultation requests from physicians, I make it a point to bring up the conversation around perimenopause for patients over 40.

While it may not always be a contributing factor, I believe it’s essential to raise awareness of perimenopausal symptoms so that more women receive the appropriate care.

Just a small example of how I integrate my health coaching experience into my pharmacy practice. ✌🏻

As I turn 38 this year, the topics of perimenopause and aging healthfully have been on my mind.

Here’s what I’ve been researching / curious about, and what I’ll be sharing more on my page in 2025.

1️⃣ Perimenopause
As my clients are increasingly asking for support with their transition through perimenopause (and I’m heading there in a few years!), I’ve been educating myself on the topic to provide them with up-to-date recommendations as well as see what I can do NOW to ensure that my own transition goes as smoothly as possible.

I also want to empower you by helping you understand the changes your body undergoes and how to care for yourself during this phase. 💛

2️⃣ Well-Aging
Let’s be real: I’m no longer a spring chicken 🐣(LOL). While I have no wish to revert to my twenties, I’m human and sometimes feel the societal pressure to stay young. I have mixed feelings about seeing my face and body change, but I’ve decided to embrace aging by redefining what healthy aging, or Well-Aging, means to me.

I’ve been exploring natural ways to support my skin—collagen and antioxidant-rich foods, enhancing detox pathways, and incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine practices and regular gua sha. Learning how to nourish my skin from within has been especially fun!

I’m also reading about longevity habits and prioritizing mobility + strength training because I want to be one of those nimble and agile 90-year-old ladies people post about on social media 😉. (My tight hip flexors are loving the mobility exercises.)

Which topic are you most interested in learning more about and want me to share? Let me know by answering the poll! ☺️

Balancing Hormones Starts with Your Liver & Gut Health ✨

If you struggle with menstrual-related symptoms (ex. painful periods, heavy bleeds, hormonal acne or migraines, PCOS, etc), you’ll want give your liver and gut some extra love as they are essential players in hormonal health.

These two organs don’t just support digestion and detoxification; they’re central to keeping your hormones stable (i.e. optimal levels) and your mood, energy, and well-being in sync. 

Swipe left 👈🏻 to take a closer look at how they work.

💡Tip: As always, you don’t need to make all these changes at once! 

Implementing small, consistent dietary changes to support your liver and gut can make a big difference over time!

As a healthcare professional and health coach, my goal is to help you better understand your body.

Whether you’re a client or a member of my online community, I want to empower you with practical knowledge that you can use to take care of YOU. ❤️

This is why I’m bringing back an old series (but still very pertinent!) on different strategies that can help you optimize your hormonal health, which is key to your overall health.

And when I say hormones, it’s not just your reproductive ones (although those are great too!). We’re also talking about your thyroid hormone, cortisol, and insulin.

Because all of the above play a role in your energy levels, weight, inflammation, period, fertility, and risk of long-term diseases. 

Let’s just say these hormones are *mucho importante* and you want them to function at their best.💪🏻

In case you’re looking at this graph and you’re like “Holy guacamole, NINE strategies!” and feel overwhelmed by it all, don’t worry - I got you.✌🏻

I’m here to break it down for you and show you that it’s not actually complicated.

Think of me as your nerdy BFF 🤓 who has your back and will guide you step-by-step, so you don’t have to be trying random tactics like cutting out food groups or buying 10 supplements (that might not be suited for you).

You’ll get to know your body on a whole new level.

You ready? Then stay tuned!

And if you want personalized help with one of the conditions I mentioned above, send me a DM to learn about my 1:1 coaching services.

The terms “hormone balance” and “balancing your hormones” are often used when discussing strategies to manage symptoms related to the menstrual cycle.

But what does it *really* mean?

Here’s how I explain and break it down to my clients: we want to optimize the production, metabolism, and elimination of your hormones as all three steps play a crucial role in regulating your hormone levels.

Swipe left 👈🏻 to learn more.

So, what does balancing hormones really mean? 

It’s about creating a healthy flow from production to elimination, supporting each stage along the way for optimal wellness and energy. ✨

In my next post, I’ll share the strategies I focus on with my clients to help them optimize their hormonal health.

Stay tuned for my upcoming posts to learn more. And if you’d like personalized help in addressing hormone-related symptoms, send me a DM!
