Dr. Julie Miller ND - Calgary

After struggling to find solutions through conventional means for my own health challenges as a teenager, I started exploring the connection between the mind and body and discovered that changing my diet and lifestyle had a significant positive impact on my mental/emotional and physical wellbeing.

While I was completing my undergraduate degree in biological sciences at the University of Calgary, I started working part time at a vitamin and supplement store where I expanded my knowledge of nutrition, herbs, and nutraceuticals and discovered the career path of naturopathic medicine. This form of medicine was extremely appealing to me because it is included a rigorous education in medical sciences while incorporating traditional healing modalities, clinical nutrition, and mind-body medicine. Upon completion of the 4-year program at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, it was an honor to receive the Academic Excellence Award for the graduating class of 2009.

In my time outside of seeing patients, I’m an avid listener of functional medicine and “biohacking” podcasts because of the shared philosophy in leveraging different tools and practices, including diet, lifestyle, and personal growth, to optimize physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. I often share them with patients as they are great resources! I love yoga, especially yin, as it helps me to quiet my mind and be present in my body. Being in nature also helps me feel grounded and calms my soul. My two “fur children”, Parker and Emma, keep me busy with walks on Nose Hill and I also enjoy escaping to the mountains to snowboard and split-board in the winter and wake-surf and bike in the summer.

I truly appreciate having a career where I am able to help people while continually learning and evolving in my own healing journey.
