The Anti-Inflammatory Food Diet with Julie Daniluk

Nutritionist Julie Daniluk hosts Healthy Gourmet on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), a reality cooking show that highlights the ongoing battle between taste and nutrition as unique groups – bikers, dragon boat racers, ballroom dancers – challenge their taste buds with nutritious foods. Julie is a health expert for The Marilyn Denis Show (CTV) and has appeared on numerous TV and radio shows, including The Dr Oz Show, CTV’s Breakfast TV, CP24‘s Wylde on Health and LisaLive Radio. Television viewers will also recognize Julie from her Busted segments on The Right Fit (OWN) where, acting as a nutrition encyclopedia, she examines the foods people need to stay healthy. Her fun and engaging style comes in handy creating recipes for Chatelaine Magazine that are packed with health tips. After four years of rigorous theatre arts training, Julie found herself reading more about nutrition than about Shakespeare. She had an insatiable appetite for figuring out how and why food affects us so profoundly. She returned to school to become a nutritionist, graduating from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, and becoming a cooperative owner of one of Canada’s largest health food stores, The Big Carrot Natural Food Market, as well as health editor for Viva Magazine, a natural health publication with a circulation over 120,000 coast-to-coast. Julie’s food activism has led her to speak to Parliament about the potential health risks of genetically modified food, and in order to bring food advocacy issues to a wider audience, Julie has been the event producer for Bio-Diversity with David Suzuki and FoodShare’s Field to Table Festival. Julie’s search for nutritional understanding has taken her around the world and provided her one of her greatest joys to-date – cooking on Greenpeace’s tall sailing ship, Rainbow Warrior, during its GE-free New Zealand tour.
