Functional Autoimmunity, LLC
Dr. Julie Owen Morris has a doctorate in speech-language pathology and has assessed and treated patients with many types of disorders in various settings: private practice, outpatient, rehab, schools, etc. Julie began collecting autoimmune diseases when pregnant with her first child, and then her immune system began to limit her ability to treat patients. She pivoted to teaching and has taught undergraduate and graduate courses for the last 12 years as an adjunct professor.
Julie’s health dramatically improved when she began following functional medicine principles five years ago. By changing her diet and other lifestyle factors, she was able to wean off of 8 medications and her cognition, energy, and pain levels all improved. Wanting to share this with others, she enrolled in the FMCA (Functional Medicine Coaching Academy). Now, as a certified functional medicine health coach, she formed Functional Autoimmunity, LLC and specializes in autoimmune disease and cognitive health. She became a CGP (Certified Gluten-Free Practitioner) because she realizes the importance of autoimmune patients being gluten-free in a healthy way. Julie’s first book, Chronically in Christ, was published in 2023 and she is currently working on another one. She is married with two intelligent daughters, and she loves reading, writing, movies, beaches, pets, and time with family.
