About Julia
I’m Julia Gats Chase — Registered Dietitian, ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist, and former lead of Riverdance.
My path to becoming a nutrition professional began as a competitive and professional Irish dancer, quickly learning how critical proper fueling is for endurance, strength, and recovery. While touring internationally with Riverdance, I experienced firsthand how nutrition can profoundly impact energy levels, resilience, and overall well-being — a realization that sparked my commitment to helping others harness the power of food to unlock their full potential.
My education includes a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics, followed by a Master of Science in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology. These programs strengthened my understanding of how nutrition and movement work together to support both peak performance and lifelong health. In addition to my private practice, I work clinically at a leading children’s hospital, supporting patients from infancy through young adulthood. I am also a certified Irish Dance teacher (TCRG), coaching dancers at the world championship level.
As a Registered Dietitian, I uphold the highest professional standards, including a master’s degree, over 1,200 supervised practice hours, and ongoing education to ensure my guidance is grounded in the latest evidence-based research.
Through The Nourished Athlete, I offer personalized, one-on-one, virtual nutrition counseling for athletes of all levels, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to improve their health through food. My background as both a professional athlete and coach allows me to bring empathy, practicality, and real-world insight into every session.
