Thank you so much, Alyssa, for your kind words and thoughtful review! I’m so glad you had a positive experience and felt supported during your visit.
The Ionic Cleanse detox foot bath is a gentle, relaxing therapy designed to support the body’s natural detoxification pathways. During the session, the ionizing unit creates a mild electrical current in the warm saltwater, which helps generate positively and negatively charged ions. These ions help support balance in the body and encourage the release of toxins through the skin’s natural processes. The color changes in the water can come from a combination of the ionic reaction, minerals, impurities, and what is being released during the session.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and recommend Innovative Nutrition NC. It means so much to be part of your wellness journey!

I’ve used several services at Innovative Nutrition and have had a great experience. Julia is very knowledgeable about holistic health and takes the time to really listen and help you figure out what may work best for your body.
The red light therapy always left me feeling more energized, and I’m currently doing ozone therapy to help with chronic sinusitis. I’ve noticed a big difference in how much easier it is to breathe after treatments.
What I appreciate most is that Julia genuinely cares. She offers helpful recommendations, explains things in a way that makes sense, and provides guidance that feels personal rather than one-size-fits-all.

Thank you so much, Kristin! I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It means a lot to hear that you’ve felt supported and that the red light therapy and ozone therapy have been helpful for you.
My goal is always to listen carefully, explain options clearly, and help each person find strategies that feel personalized to their body and goals. I’m so glad you’ve felt that care and guidance during your visits.
Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for trusting Innovative Nutrition with your health journey!

I thought I was doing all the right things to be “healthy“. But unless you are fully educated and understand what your body needs what it doesn’t what’s good for you may not be good for someone else. I made the right decision to take charge of my health by working with Julia and having specific plan created just for me. It’s easy to just treat symptoms and go about your day. It’s easy to pop a pill, but they all have some side effects that cause other issues. But it’s also not that hard to have a customize plan to help you in reaching optimum results. Making a decision to work with a functional medicine doctor, Dr. John Stavrakos with Regenerative Health who partners and recommended a great dietitian, Julia Callaghan, I don’t just think I’m doing all the right things. I now know I am. They listen, they care. Blessed to have this support. Thank you!
Response from the owner · Edited 6 months ago
Thank you, Suzette, for this beautiful review. I’m incredibly grateful you chose to trust us with your health journey. Your words perfectly capture why personalized care matters so much—what looks “healthy” on the surface is not always what your unique body truly needs.
It has been such a pleasure supporting you alongside Dr. John Stavrakos. Our goal is always to listen well, care deeply, and help each person move beyond symptom management toward real understanding and lasting results. Thank you again for your kind words and for allowing us to be part of your journey.
Mike Nicosia8 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Mike has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I was very pleased with the services that I received from Julia. I started with her because I’ve been trying to lose weight for a long time. My primary suggested a GLP one. I didn’t want to take that approach. I have done Weight Watchers at least five times. I have done Nutrisystem at least twice. Nothing worked. After working with Julia, in 13 weeks I am down 30 pounds. I have completely changed my lifestyle which I admit was a little overwhelming and scary at first, but there’s no journaling there’s no counting calories. I am very comfortable with my new eating habits and I feel I can sustain them for my life. On a sidenote, I also had issues with my feet that a podiatrist had been treating for over two years after working with Julia they cleared up in about three weeks. It’s no longer about my weight. It’s now about maintaining a healthy lifestyle losing weight was just a side benefit. I highly recommend the service to anyone. FYI, I’m 60 years old female!! It’s never too late. Dawn

Thank you so much, Dawn, for sharing your experience and for trusting me to be part of your journey! Your story is such a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to reclaim your health and feel your best. I’m so proud of the sustainable lifestyle changes you’ve made—not through restriction or deprivation, but by truly learning to listen to and support your body.
It’s wonderful to hear how much better you feel, from your energy and confidence to the unexpected improvements in your foot health! You’ve done the work, and it shows. Thank you again for your kind words and for encouraging others with your story—you’re an inspiration to so many.

Rachael Morgan3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Rachael has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I started working with Julia earlier this year as I've been working through some health disruptions. Julia has been a wonderful asset and support in my healing journey. It's a very frustrating path without any guidance or access to tools we didn't know were available to us.
Julia helped me understand my lab results on a deeper level, the 'why's' behind the process, and a setting up a plan. She is extremely patient with me and attentive to where I am each week based on my symptoms. I am someone who thought I ate well and was fairly active. I struggled to understand why my body was showing health issues and stagnation. That's where the bloodwork came in and working with Julia provided answers to a lot of my frustration. She offers a wide variety of different tools that if there is one modality I'm not keen on she has another great alternative up her sleeve!
Our health journey is not a one size fits all and there is no magic pill if we truly want to heal inside out. We do not have to resort to medications each time to fix or heal our bodies. It's empowering to watch and learn how our bodies heal. In working with Julia, she is your advocate to help you see our bodies are miraculous!
Thank you Julia!
Response from the owner · a year ago
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words. 🌿 It’s been such a privilege to walk alongside you on this healing journey and to witness your dedication to understanding your body on a deeper level. Your openness, consistency, and willingness to learn are exactly what make this kind of transformation possible.
I’m so glad the deeper lab insight and personalized approach helped connect the dots and bring clarity to your health journey. You’re absolutely right—true healing is not one-size-fits-all, and it’s incredibly empowering when we begin to see the body’s innate ability to restore balance when given the right support.
Thank you for trusting me to be part of your process—it’s been an honor to support your progress and watch your confidence grow along the way!

Thank you so much, Helen! I truly appreciate your thoughtful words. I’m so glad I could help you navigate where to start, make adjustments along the way, and better understand what your body may need when gut symptoms show up.
My goal is always to provide guidance that feels practical, personalized, and supportive—not overwhelming or judgmental. It means so much to hear that the plan has had a lasting impact and that you feel more confident knowing which “levers to pull” moving forward.
Thank you again for trusting me and Innovative Nutrition with your health journey!

I had a wonderful experience at Innovative Nutrition with Julia. I received red light therapy and infrared sauna therapy, and everything about the visit was exceptional. Julia has created a beautiful, serene treatment room in her home that truly feels like a high-end spa. Her kindness and genuine care shine through in everything she does.
She goes above and beyond to make the experience relaxing and supportive—offering a massage chair during red light therapy and providing cold towels infused with essential oils, which was such a refreshing touch.
Julia is not only warm and welcoming, but also extremely knowledgeable and passionate about integrative health. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your healing journey and brings both expertise and heart to her work, I highly recommend giving her a call.

I appreciate your thoughtful review and am grateful to be part of your wellness journey!

The journey to improve my health and sustain it has been challenging in recent years. Beginning with my first session with Julia, I have learned so much about my own body and how my lifestyle and nutrition affects it. I'm only two months into program but I am feeling better than I have in years and gaining confidence in my ability to make informed, healthy choices with my diet, stress management and my overall wellness. This was well worth the investment, not only for myself, but for my family.

It’s been such a joy to watch your progress and see you reconnect with your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. The positive changes you’re already feeling are a reflection of your commitment and openness to learning. I’m so proud of the steps you’ve taken—not just for yourself, but for the ripple effect it’s creating within your family. I’m truly honored to support you on this path toward lasting wellness!

Marie Theriault6 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Marie has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I had been interested in exploring red light therapy for quite some time and had the good fortune to meet Julia. She explained about the many health benefits including reduced inflammation and improved circulation. I set up a series of sessions and enjoyed my first one very much. It was such a relaxing experience!
Prior to my second session, I slipped at home and injured several of my toes badly requiring a trip to urgent care for x-rays. Luckily nothing was broken, so I reached out to Julia to see if I could come in for another session to assist the healing process. She was able to accommodate me that same day!
Since then, I have returned for two more sessions. I really think my toes have come a long way in only one week thanks to the red light therapy and Julia's thoughtful guidance.
She offers other services including nutritional counseling, sauna with infrared light, detox footbath, ozone, and hydrogen therapy. Her location is convenient for me and is set up with state-of-the-art equipment and is beautifully decorated. I have been sharing her information with all of my friends and encouraging them to meet her. Julia is very knowledgeable in her field, and her services are beneficial and amazing!
